Octobot

Octobot appeared in 1995 TV series called VR Troopers. Octobot is an octopus-themed mutant. He had tentacles for arms as well as several other tentacles draped over his body as if part of a robe. He can also shoot slime balls. He spread a substance called the VR Shield on the beach, offshore, and in the water which would prevent the Troopers from transforming. He was modified with the VR Shield by Col. Icebot and he trapped Ryan underwater when he was scuba diving upon the discovery of the VR Shield substance. With Ryan's air supply and time running out, JBhad to act quickly. He burrowed under the ocean with the Battle Cruiser to attack the lab that was supplying the substance, then went after Octobot who was now on the beach, knowing that when the monster was destroyed, the substance's power would fade. First, he was weakened by the VR Double Team attack, then destroyed by JB's "Laser Lance" command. After he was destroyed Ryan was rescued and safe from drowning. Octobot fits the category of Col. Icebot's monsters.
