Boss discussion: Mech Gargantuar

Mech Gargantuar

Bfn description: Loading program: Vanquish.exe

The mechanical bruiser from the far future.

His body is armored and the head takes critical damage.

Gw2: Robo zombies make up the fodder with some customized Tank Commanders and default or customized Computer Scientists.

Bfn: once a third of his health is gone he will signal champion Robo zombies that act as they make him invincible. 4 the first time, 6 the second, and 8 the third time. Has space cadets as well.

Powers

Robo-Smash: Slams his dual telephone poles on the ground, doing electrical damage. Will extend before hand as a visual cue.

Robo Charge Smash: Similar to Gargantuar's Charge Slam, the Mech Gargantuar zooms towards the player with its rocket feet, and does an extremely damaging smash.

Pulse Shots: fires a burst of 3 electric shots at the player.

Time Bomb: Fires a bomb at the player that takes 4 seconds to explode, and deals around 30 damage.

Health:

Easy: 1400 HP

Normal: 2000 HP

Hard: 2600 HP

CRAAAAZY: 3200 HP

Unique boss theme.

Based of gargantuar prime from far future but does not shoot bug bot imps.

Appears in the backyard and does fairly well but sunflower queen's beam and torchwood put him in his place.

He's one of the more difficult bosses especially due to his Robo zombies minions who are extremely tough to where not even sombrero bean bombs kill them in one hit. He acts like a combination of previous gargs meaning nowhere is really sate as he'll gun or run you down, however he does have less health.

Bfn is a harder zen sensei but the mech also appears to be packing its armor from gw2 which is a big shame as that trivializes a lot of strategy he brought to the table. His little buttons also dont seem to bleep which is a problem imp shares.

This is the end of the zombies bosses in ops. Bfn brought none of the hunt bosses into Bfn unlike the plant side and they lost giga Gargantuar which really hurt the selection and many were dumbed down with the removal of their iconic minions or mechanics like mechs armor.

    Too bad this one too doesn't have the GW intro screen (Ill bring this up a lot, such little touches are why we love these games).

    The bomb it launches at you is borderline useless. For how easy it is to avoid it does a pittance of damage.

    The BfN elite version is one of the more interesting ones. Not too difficult and not too easy, with a fun system.

    Not a huge threat usually. And the armor makes a huge difference when fighting it as you say, so it needs it back.

    @Iron_Guard8 Yeah the bomb is pretty bad as it only does 5 more damage than the regular imp bomb yet is delayed. It would be way better if it launched a one time saucer imp so it would be more like the pvz 2 version.
