Biography

Conrad is introduced as another construction foreman who was contracted to help Bob and his team clear out a quarry to build an artificial lake. He is the owner of the three "mega machines": Ace, Thud and Crunch.

Conrad is portrayed as something of a bully, in that he yells at his machines and insults them when they do something wrong. Thud and Crunch do the same to Muck, until Lofty shows them the error of their ways.

As the plot goes along, it’s revealed that Conrad lost the dam-building contract to Bob and is resentful. Conrad plans on getting revenge on Bob and forces Ace to mix the concrete for the dam wrong. As a result, the dam isn’t strong enough to hold back the water in the artificial lake and bursts. The water flows toward Spring City, but is headed off thanks to Bob's team's actions.

Scoop and Ace then expose Conrad's intentions. As a result, Conrad got fired from being a builder. After Conrad gets fired thus his job for being a builder is destroyed, his Mega Machines join Bob's team.

During the credits, Conrad has to do other jobs as punishment; The zoo, cleaning cars, sweeping in the café and the penguin pool. He later got defeated by tripping over a toy fish and falling into the water where some penguins were causing him to sink into the bottom of the water.

Appearance

Conrad is a tall overweight bulky man with fair skin, stubble around his jaw line and short brown hair. He wears a dark spearmint green jumper with gray accents alongside an orange construction vest with yellow accents, a dark green helmet, navy blue jeans, and brown boots.

Personality

At first, he seemed to be kindly and helpful, but when he revealed his true colours, he was shown to be arrogant, selfish, tough, strict and abusive towards his maschines.

Trivia

• Conrad is the first and only actual villain to appear in any Bob the Builder series.
• It was revealed that Conrad saved his mega machines from the scrap heap.
• He was only seen in the movie and later never seen again, he’s possibly alive and none of the jobs selected for him worked, so he had to leave to find more.
