In the VR Troopers Universe, Grimlord has these Mutants and Cyborgs lurking in the Virtual Dungeon.

Here is a comprehensive list of several other Mutants and Cyborgs they infested the Dungeon (in order of appearance by episode airdate), but made one or few other appearances in the series:
Kongbot
- First Appearance: "The Battle Begins, Part 1" (09/03/94)
The first robot that JB and Kaitlin faced after becoming VR Troopers. He is a gorilla-themed robot with a flying fist attack. His knuckles are sharp spikes and sort of resemble maces. Kongbot was having his way with JB and Kaitlin until Professor Hart informed JB that he has a laser lance.

Voice Actor: Tom Wyner
Grimlord created a computer virus that infected all computer systems, including the Professor! Grimlord even impersonated the Professor and had the Troopers out on missions that would destroy them. Ryan and Kaitlin were sent on a wild goose chase while JB was alone fighting Metaborg. Metaborg started off a small tank-like creature, but then assumed a full humanoid form. He was very strong and JB was outnumbered against Metaborg and Grimlord's Quantum Cruisers. After a recharge from Kaitlin, JB finally destroyed Metaborg with his "Laser Lance" command, first stabbing him through the stomach, forcing him to surrender, then finishing him off anyway. Fits the category of General Ivar's Machine Men army.
Laserbot

Laserbot would appear again in Season 2 (alongside Shoulderbot) to fight against JB in the "Dream Battle". JB once again defeated him, this time by simply by breaking his mid-head, gem-like apparatus. Fits the category of General Ivar's Machine Men army.

The other was a blue robot with a white skull-like face, drill weapon, and laser rifle. These two weren't much use in battle on their own, but they served as a great decoy for Renegade's attacks and ambushes.

Samson
- First Appearance: "Good Trooper, Bad Trooper" (02/06/95)
In addition to Electrobot and the Ryan clone, Colonel Icebot constructed new "warriors" for Grimlord's army. However these warriors looked like nothing more than ridiculous wind-up toys.

But an accidental shock from Electrobot and Kaitlin's snipping his wires, Samson was destroyed. Fits the category of General Ivar's Machine Men army.
Transmutant
- First Appearance: "The Transmutant" (02/07/95)
- Voice Actor: Michael Bacon
Strictland invented a special green slime that turned people into monsters. However it only worked in the virtual world and was good for a one time use. When JB was seeking a quiet place to study, he was ambushed by Skugs and taken to the Battle Grid where he was administered the formula. JB slowly transformed into a green, silver-haired mutant with long claws. Transmutant can dissolve into slime. Grimlord tested him in battle where Toxoid used Venobot, Bugbot, and Crabor on him. Under Grimlord's control, he was assigned to kill Ryan. During mid-battle, Ryan saved JB from falling off a cliff. JB was confused with Ryan's actions; so Ryan made effort to reason with him. Finally free of Grimlord's control, both Troopers fought off Wolfbot, Crabor, Bugbot, Venobot, and the Mutant Skugs together, and eventually JB was restored to normal again.

Inspired by the Troopers, Grimlord sets up his own ruthless obstacle course for his army to sharpen their skills. The one that didn't compete was Combax, a military soldier-looking robot. Combax refused to participate claiming he was already the best warrior in the competition, and Grimlord agreed. Combax then captures Tao's nephew, which lures Ryan to the obstacle course against overwhelming odds. Ryan eventually survives the obstacle course and defeats Combax with the Lightning Hand command. Fits the category of Decimator's army.
Mechanoid
- First Appearance: "The Old Switcharoo" (02/10/95)
- Voice Actor: Kirk Thornton
He was assigned to guard the special transference device that caused Ryan and Jeb to switch bodies. His bulky structure which Kaitlin described as a "walking jukebox" and heavy claw arm made the battle difficult for JB and Kaitlin. JB and Kaitlin tried their VR Double Team attack but saw that it was useless when Mechanoid commented that it tickled. It still seemed hopeless when JB's laser lance impalement was laughed off as if it tickled, when it forced most bots to surrender, but Mechanoid still fell to the usual laser lance slashing, but requiring much more slashing than most bots. After Mechanoid was destroyed by JB, Grimlord blew up the device causing Ryan and Jeb to switch back. Fits the category of General Ivar's Machine Men army.
Fiddlebot
- First Appearance: "Fiddler on the Loose" (02/14/95)
- Voice Actor: Michael McConnohie
Grimlord was fed up with Col. Icebot's robots, so he decided to make one himself. To finish his creation, he ordered Skugs to capture Kaitlin's cousin, Keith, a member of the Young Dubliners. Keith was imprisoned within Fiddlebot's body. As Fiddlebot, he could attack simply by playing a fanfare on his fiddle, which in turn would scramble Ryan's circuits, rendering him unable to move. He was impervious to all of Ryan's attacks. Ryan eventually defeated him by distracting him with a surprise Lightning Hand attack (which actually didn't harm him), removed his power source, and then rescued Keith. Fits the category of Zelton's army.
Vanbot
- First Appearance: "New Kids on the Planet" (02/20/95)
- Voice Actor: Bob Papenbrook
Vanbot was a humanoid black SUV used to kidnap a pair of alien children. He could disguise himself as a regular van and switch into his true form at will, trapping his occupants inside. Eventually JB was able to rescue the children and defeat Vanbot with his "Laser Lance" command while riding on his VR Fighter Bike. Fits the category of General Ivar's Machine Men army.
Skullbot
- First Appearance: "Message From Space" (02/22/95)
- Voice Actor: Tom Wyner
A skeleton-looking mutant dressed in a black tunic and armed with a scythe. A scientist was delivering a message to Ryan concerning Tyler Steele. Skullbot and Skugs intercepted the message, replaced the scientist with a robotic double, and set up a fake briefcase filled with explosives. Once the Troopers discovered the fake briefcase, they saved the real scientist and Ryan defeated Skullbot with his "Lightning Hand" command. Fits the category of Zelton's army.
Amphibidor

A green frog-like mutant who can dissolve into slime and return to normal as well as spew acid-like liquid from its mouth. He planned to start a revolution against Grimlord, but failed when Grimlord found out. To prove himself loyal to Grimlord, Amphibidor fought Dream Master and used his slime-dissolving ability which caused Dream Master to surrender. Amphibidor fought Ryan and eventually damaged his armor. Despite interference from Ballistix and Cannon Nose, Amphibidor was eventually defeated by Ryan. Fits the category of Toxoid's army.
