You can't see me!

_{This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.}

Grindor is a would-be cyborg villain, and apparently a remarkably muscular and attractive Jamaican man to boot.

Fiction

Shattered Glass

Derek, aka "Grindor", was a small-time criminal who underwent cybernetic enhancement to become Transhuman. He and his partners Highwire and Sureshock received their upgrades from Side Burn of the Autobots. However, Side Burn had been augmenting them for his own purposes, hoping to use their cybernetic hybrid bodies to power a gateway through dimensions on behalf of the Underbase. When that plan fell through, Grindor joined the other alien hybrids gathered by Side Burn's compatriots in traveling through space to return to their home worlds. Coalescence

Toys

Universe (2003)

• Sunstorm w/ Inferno & Street Action Mini-Con Team (Multi-pack, 2004)

The Universe version of Grindor was repurposed as Shattered Glass Grindor.

Available only as a Wal-Mart exclusive, Grindor is a redeco of Armada Grindor, transforming into a skateboard. Grindor combines with Highwire and Sureshock to form Perceptor.

Oddly, all photos on the card show the set in their respective molds' original color schemes, with Sunstorm replaced with Thrust and the Mini-Cons in their Armada colors.
