Details[]
"With his terrifying crushing grapplers and abilities in demolition that match even WRECKER, his counterpart on MAXX STEELE's team, CRUEL™ is the equal of any robot in individual combat. Nearly indestructible, he is silent, save for menacing grunts that often accompany his wicked acts. In order to keep up-to-date with his evil master Nazgar's strategies, CRUEL™ has two communication antennae on the upper sides of his head. He also carries two evil weapons for fighting the Robo Force team." From the original file card.[1]
Character History[]
"Cruel - the goal was to have a big monster of a build for the majority of Maxx's enemies. The weapons he carries are optional, the beauty of Glyos being that you can customize however you want."[2] "Cruel and Vulgar, in my mind, are the enemies to Wrecker more than anything else. So they had to be BIG builds."[3] "CRUEL IS BACK! And he wants a piece of Maxx Zero!"[4]
Originally Cruel and Vulgar were planned to come out together. Over time the plans changed which led to the creation of Brutal as Cruel's first partner.
