Rustbolt is a major antagonist of the mobile game Plants vs. Zombies Heroes. He is a mechanically-modified basic zombie who leads Brainy and Hearty classes.
History[]
Background[]
While Crazy Dave states Rustbolt dug up his armor from a junkyard, in his introduction comic strips, he was shown to be an ordinary basic zombie who was infected by the vending machine that is infected from the Hero-Tron 5000. After he became Rustbolt, he used his Shrink Ray to attack the plants.
Plant Missions[]
In Junkyard Ambush!, when Green Shadow, Solar Flare, and Spudow, were looking for a tire to replace Penny's old tire, Rustbolt suddenly attacked the Plant Heroes. They fought and, while Rustbolt originally seemed to be winning, Spudow used a giant magnet to weaken him, with Green Shadow and Solar Flare found the tire for Penny.
Zombie Missions[]
Rustbolt appeared in The Great Cave Raid alongside Super Brainz and Electric Boogaloo to find a hidden cave to use as a new underground lair for Dr. Zomboss. However, Spudow popped up the ground and attacked them. They fought and Spudow initially seemed to be winning until Super Brainz used his cape to tie his head to stop him from throwing explosive heads.
In Code Orange! Citron Invades!, Dr. Zomboss ordered Rustbolt, Brain Freeze, and Z-Mech to stop Citron, alongside Rose and Grass Knuckles from putting their flag on the moon. They fought until Z-Mech managed to defeat the Plant Heroes by kicking Citron off the moon, causing Grass Knuckles and Rose to rush off to help him.
Others[]
Rustbolt appeared in Nightcap's introduction comic strips with Immorticia and The Smash attacking a Peashooter, a Sunflower, and a Wall-nut. However, Nightcap appeared to rescue them by summoning his mushroom army to fight them.

| ~ Shrink Ray's description. |
While Crazy Dave stated Rustbolt's bodysuit is originated from the junkyard, one cannot judge its appearance, as the shrink ray can weaken the enemies he targeted.
