“ | I did not want a war, Mr. Spencer, but neither did I fear one! Those who do not want to fight do not deserve to live! | „ |
~ Groeder to Spencer during their final showdown. |
Gottfried Groeder is the secondary antagonist of Bionic Commando Rearmed and its 2009 sequel.
He is Generalissimo Killt's most trusted follower and the first Imperial to be outfitted with a bionic limb. During the war between the FSA and the Imperials, he is assigned with holding Super Joe and questioning him for information, later returning on the Albatross to prevent Nathan Spencer from escaping the warship.
Believed to have died with the Albatross, Groeder secretly survived and became one of the leaders of the pro-bionic terrorist group BioReign.
He is voiced by Scott MacDonald.
History[]
Bionic Commando Rearmed[]
Highly regarded by Generalissimo Killt, the man who spearheaded Project Albatross for the Imperials, Gottfried Groeder is entrusted with tasks vital to Imperial success. When high-ranking T.A.S.C. member Joseph "Super Joe" Gibson was captured during an attempted infiltration, Groeder was put in charge of keeping an eye on their new prisoner in Area 7, as well as torturing and questioning him for vital information.
During the interrogation, Gibson betrayed intelligence regarding T.A.S.C.'s bionics program, which Groeder used to assemble and implant his own bionic arm. Believing himself superior to his counterpart on enemy lines, Groeder confronted Nathan "RAD" Spencer when he tried to rescue Super Joe. A fight ensued in the halls of the Imperial prison facility, but although Groeder was his toughest opponent yet he was no match for Spencer's skill and experience.
Groeder barely survived and intercepted Spencer during his escape on the Albatross superweapon. With Master-D dead and the Albatross' main reactor destroyed, the Albatross was moments away from crashing, but Groeder was not about to let Spencer leave the warship alive. Spencer had the option of finishing Groeder off or simply running away to the extraction point, but Groeder remained on the Albatross either way when it sunk into the ocean.
Bionic Commando (2009)[]
Groeder returned as the leader of BioReign, a pro-Bionics terrorist organization. His body, save for his head, was made fully bionic, possibly due to injuries received in the previous game. He believes that Bionics are stronger and superior human beings, and that the "fleshes" (humans) are weak and deserve to be exterminated or converted into Bionics.
He pilots a giant crab-like machine called "The Constructor" that roams around Ascension City and is the setpeice for the final act of Bionic Commando.
The final showdown between Nathan "Rad" Spencer and Gottfried Groeder takes place on the Constructor's helipad, where Groeder lectures Spencer before being killed in battle by him.
