The Grungust series have a similar outlook overall. Being super robots, they are somewhat bulky with thick armor and are significantly larger in proportion to Personal Troopers. The body parts generally look very thick with simplistic, cartoon-like body lines. The color schemes of the Grungusts vary, but are usually portrayed in a garish red, blue, and yellow tri-color paintjob. Another distinctive feature is the large jet turbines mounted on the robot's shoulders.

The original Grungust unit in Super Robot Wars 4, Super Robot Wars F and Super Robot Wars F Final was one of two upgraded machines your original characters could obtain late in the game. As the series developed further, the Grungust series was given a more detailed background, and more variations of the design were introduced.

Later on, a mass produced version of the Grungust Nishiki would be created - the RSR-02 Grungust Nishiki-M. This unit is slightly weaker than the original and has completely omitted the transformation abilities. It still has high production costs, however, and therefore, only a few of these were made.

In Original Generation 2, three Grungust Type-3 units were developed. Sanger received the second one and similar events to the Alpha series occurred with him. The first unit was utilized by Brooklyn Luckfield and Kusuha. After their encounter with the Chōkijin in Original Generation 2, the Grungust Type-3 would be absorbed by them to repair them (rather than how the Type-2 was in Alpha). It is said the Type-3's Boost Knuckle became KoRyuOh's Tiger Knuckle and the drills mounted on its back became KoRyuOh's Variable Drill. After the war in Original Generation 2 ends, the Chōkijin are sealed in the Tesla Leicht Institute to prevent it from being appropriated by the Earth Federation Army, and the third Grungust Type-3 unit is handed to Bullet. It is equipped with the Shishioh Blade, a mecha-sized katana designed by Rishu Togo to be used exclusively for Bullet. The first and third Type-3 units are also equipped with T-Link Systems for Psychodriver use.
