The '''Robot Grunt''' is a mechanical [[Hazardous Environment Combat Unit|HECU]] unit cut from ''[[Half-Life]]''. There is no information available about where and when during the game it was to appear.
 
 
==Overview==
 
 
*The original green Robot Grunt is featured in the ''Half-Life'' SDK files in the folder "RGrunt" (there the name "robot grunt" is given in the file "rgrunt.qc"), but not in the ''Half-Life'' game files.
 
 
*It is notably known for replacing all HECU soldiers in the censored German version of ''Half-Life''. [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] heavily censors video games with an excessive amount of violence or strong [[Wikipedia:Nazism|Nazi]] references.<ref>[http://www.tomsguide.com/us/german-censorship-violent-games,news-3654.html?xtmc=germany_tightens_censorship_on_game_violence&xtcr=1 Germany Tightens Censorship on Game Violence] at Tom's Guide</ref><ref>[http://www.cybercafe-software.com/indexlist.html Computer Games on the Index List in Germany] on the Blue Image website (listing all video games not allowed to be played at public Internet terminals in Germany, including ''Half-Life'') (English version)</ref><ref>[http://mag-murphy.net/2008-10-29/video-game-censorship-in-germany-how-it-works-how-it-doesnt Video Game Censorship in Germany: How it works, how it doesn't] on 21st Century Digital Boy</ref> The German version of ''Half-Life'' also features other censored elements, such as when Black Mesa employees die.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alIBAUO_CUM&hd=1 Gameplay in the censored German version of ''Half-Life''] (features the Robot Grunt replacing the HECU soldiers at 3:35 and onwards, and other examples of censored features)</ref>
 
 
*The only version available in the retail games is a bronze variant available as a player model for the [[Half-Life Deathmatch: Source|multiplayer version]] of ''Half-Life'', named "robo".
 
 
==Trivia==
 
The green version appears in the mod ''[[Sven Co-op]]''.<ref>[http://www.svencoop.com/entityguide/entity.php?entityinfo=monster_robogrunt Entity Guide: monster_robogrunt] on the ''Sven Co-op'' official website</ref>
