Grav Runner

Grav Runners are hovercrafts that were used by the Sentai Mountain Robots.

EXO-FORCE
Grav Runners were designed in junction with the Battle Arachnoids. Their purpose was to attach to the Battle Machines as cockpits for the Robots. Then, when the Battle Arachnoid was too damaged or the Robot was in need of a quick escape, it would detach from the Battle Arachnoid as a hovercraft. However, it could also be used for offense, due to its front blaster.

Grav Runners were first discovered by EXO-FORCE when a Battle Arachnoid and a Dark Panther ambushed the EXO-FORCE, then revealed their Mini-Bots. When this happened, the Devastator piloting the Battle Arachnoid detatched the Grav Runner.

When the Minifigs won the war, most of the Robot forces, including the Grav Runners, became scattered on the mountain.

Battles
When the Crystaliens arrived at Sentai Mountain, they found a group of survivor Robots, some of which were using Grav Runners. The Robots and their Grav Runners boarded the ETX Alien Mothership and joined forces with the Crystaliens. The blueprint for the Grav Runners was given to the Alien Commander.

The Mothership crash-landed on Mars, and once more the Crystaliens found themselves battling the Astros. With the blueprint in the Crystaliens' hands, Grav Runners were mass-produced on Mars, and Devastators piloted these in battle with the Astros. Many Grav Runners were destroyed, but many more were created to replace them.

Eventually, the ETX Alien Mothership was repaired and left Mars. It is unknown if any Grav Runners made it aboard before it took off, though it is probable due to the fact that many Grav Runners protected the Mothership while it was being repaired.

Features
Grav Runners have a fire-spitting jet engine that shoot them across the ground at a high speed. They are designed specifically to attach to the rear of a Battle Arachnoid and serve as a cockpit for the Battle Machine. In addition, a blaster is attached to the front of the Grav Runner that shoots a short-ranged but powerful energy blast. However, Grav Runners can only travel at very low altitudes, hovering just above the ground.
