Iguanus relishes the fact that his Pretender shell bears such a resemblance to Earth's lizard species, with which he is obsessively fascinated. In fact, he is completely infatuated with his shell and rarely leaves it. Enjoys its loathsome form and the fear and disgust it instills in others. A cruel, one-dimensional individual with no other interests aside from teasing comrades and bullying foes.

Abilities: Possesses superior strength and is able to crush cars with his reptilian claws. Hypno-beams in eyes penetrate enemy cerebro-circuits and override primary programming directives. Armed with hurricane air blaster that shoots concussive blasts of pressurised air. Wheels in motorcycle mode equipped with spinning blades that tear through enemy armour. Built in anti-gyrostators able to disrupt equilibrium of enemy robots.

Weaknesses: Small gaps in the layers of Iguanus's outer shell armour are vulnerable to precision attacks.
