	'''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. At all times during an attack, he carefully coordinates his team's efforts through a series of encrypted transmissions. Despite all other aspects of his behavior being a meticulously crafted ruse, Grindor enjoys painfully crushing his victims just as much as he lets on.<ref>Grindor's profile in [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 16\|Club magazine #16]]</ref>		'''Grindor''' is the apparent leader of the [[Dirt Digger Team]], a band of rowdy roughnecks whose backwoods mannerisms mask their incredible skill as spies.

As a Mini-Con, he has a pair of "[[Powerlinx]]" sockets on the underside of his vehicle mode that allow him to attach to larger toys with compatible Powerlinx plugs.

	: It's unclear if his wheels are [[Misassembly\|misassembled]] or not: ~~His~~ official [[Stock photography\|stock photos]] depict the wheels with the pegs as the rear wheels and the wheels with the corresponding holes as the front wheels. The toy itself has the wheels swapped, which is backed up by his [[instructions]]. Either way works, as it does not affect his functionality or transformation in any way whatsoever, and one would never notice if it weren't for the stock photos.		: It's unclear if his wheels are [[Misassembly\|misassembled]] or not: his official [[Stock photography\|stock photos]] depict the wheels with the pegs as the rear wheels and the wheels with the corresponding holes as the front wheels.
