Groeder

Gottfried Groeder, the Imperial Champion. Mr. Funny himself. The guy who's somehow so evil it loops directly back to him being the most hysterical character in the entire franchise. 10/10. Absolutely adore him, I even named my fish after him.

As taken from the Bionic Commando Database:

"According to his official profile, Groeder is Killt's right-hand man and the one responsible for guarding and interrogating Joseph Gibson during his imprisonment. During this assignment, Groeder learned of T.A.S.C.'s bionics program, and had his underlings smuggle bionic parts from right under the noses of the preoccupied-with-the-war government agency, becoming the only person outside of TASC to have gained access to military-grade bionics technology at the time of the Federation-Imperial war. Using these bionic parts, Groeder enhanced his own body in an attempt to achieve immortality. (It is worth noting, however, that other sources, such as the description of the costume based off of him in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, imply that he actually built his bionic parts himself from the limited schematics he obtained of Spencer's bionic arm.)

However, he was unaware of certain dangers that had long plagued the development of the technology- having the bionics plugged directly into the host's central nervous system had long caused chronic psychological problems with many of the test subjects. Having only learned of the technology secondhand, and having done the implantation process unsupervised, Groeder easily fell victim to this phenomenon, the very bionics he used to enhance his body driving him well past the point of insanity.

The combination of his heavily-bionics-enhanced body and altered state of mind made Groeder a dangerous opponent. And, as Super Joe's guard and the only other bionic in the field, it was only a matter of time before Groeder and Nathan Spencer met in battle."



Look at this dude. Can you believe the man's first name is Gottfried

This dragon is technically based on his 2009 appearance though. Which...

God was not invoved in this. I am not kidding when I say ALL of the concept art designs of this dude in this game looked better than this. I miss his Rearmed design so much.
