Overview
The Geargrinder begins the encounter encased in Protective Plating, slowly generating energy in preparation for Unrelenting CAR-nage. While atop her war-tank, Vexie calls in Geargrinder Bikers to assist her. When a biker is defeated they surrender their ride, allowing players to unleash a Blaze of Glory and removing an application of Protective Plating. Once all Protective Plating is removed, the Geargrinder suffers a Mechanical Breakdown. While broken down, Vexie begins to Tune-Up the war-tank and calls Pit Mechanics to Repair the Geargrinder. Once fully repaired Vexie commands the Geargrinder to continue its assault!
