Bouncers are collector minions that appear as enemies in Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One. The Bouncer Minion's retracted form did not look very fearsome; however, approaching one causes it to change into its deadly second form, which is able to slam the heroes with an almighty blow.
They appear to have been built to corral large an aggressive alien fauna, as one Bouncer Minion attempted (but failed) to shove a Grungoth into a container for transport to a secure pen elsewhere.
A stronger variant with purple colored armor first begins appearing in the Polar Sea.
Characteristics[]
Bouncer Minions have two forms. Initially they appear closed up within their orange shell, they hovered and had one small eye, two pincers on each small arm and sirens on their shoulder. They transform into a combat form by opening up when left alone for some time.
Combat[]
There are a two ideal ways to defeat a Bouncer Minion - keep your distance and keep overloading it, or give it a beating with the Blitzers, but beware as both methods are very ammo-expensive.
Behind the scenes[]
