<br />
'''Grindor''' is the apparent leader of the [[Dirt Digger Team]], a band of rowdy roughnecks whose backwoods mannerisms mask their incredible skill as spies. Grindor in particular likes to disguise his true intelligence behind a "lumbering brain-dead brute" act, keeping friend and foe alike off-guard.<br />

==Fiction==<br />
===Classics===<br />
Grindor and his fellow Dirt Diggers signed up with [[Broadside (Classics)|Broadside]] to keep Cybertron Autobot-free and safe for Mini-Cons. His team was modifying the transmitter beacon that was welcoming the Autobots home when they were caught red-handed by [[Hacksaw]] of the [[Dinobots (Mini-Cons)|Dinobots]]. Grindor jumped him from behind, and a fight ensued. The massive Mini-Con attempted to squeeze the life out of Hacksaw, but one solidly placed knee shook his grip loose. Hacksaw was ultimately defeated by Broadside himself, who had arrived to check up on the Dirt Digger Team. With Hacksaw dead, Broadside decided to pin the murder on the Dirt Diggers, and didn't give them much say in the matter. Grindor and his comrades were forced to go underground as fugitives until Broadside found a way to "clear their neames". {{storylink|The New World}}<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Grindor's alternate mode and colors are inspired by the famous monster-truck [[wikipedia:Grave_Digger_(truck)|Grave Digger]].<br />
<br />
* The ''Classics'' Mini-Cons were originally intended to be released as part of the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toy line in "Vs" 2-packs. It is unknown what Grindor's original faction, package-partner and name were. According to [[Hasbro]] package copy writer [[Forest Lee]] (via personal correspondence), many of the toys did not have ''Cybertron''-setting bios written before the changeover.<br />
<br />
*His packaging art forgets to put his head up. Whoops!<br />
