Grindor (Armada)
| The name or term "Grindor" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Grindor (disambiguation). |
- Grindor is a Mini-Con from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
During the era of the Unicron Battles, Grindor was the Mini-Con partner to Carlos Lopez, allowing him to shred in style. Wicked!
They seem to have eventually drifted apart, as Grindor spent much of his time around Kicker Jones in later years.
He combines with his fellow Street Action Mini-Con Team members to form Perceptor.
In an alternate timeline, Grindor is one of the evil minions of the Decepticon Sunstorm.

Armada
Grindor has often been mistakenly called Sureshock, as well as Leader-1, many, many times.
Energon
Evidently the Earth Federation Mars Space Station does not allow its crewmembers to own hoverboards, so ownership of Grindor has been transferred to Kicker Jones. He was fat that time.

The three Mini-Cons were unable to grasp the explanation which Alexis, Carlos and Rad gave them about Halloween, so the three kids invited them along Trick-or-Treating with them. Grindor was confused when Rad said something about soaping the windows on a house if they didn't give out candy. Something Robotic This Way Comes
