Bug Bot Imp


 * For the other Imp variants in Plants vs. Zombies 2, see Imp.
 * Also, not to be confused with Bug Zombie.

Bug Bot Imp is Far Future variant of Imp in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is a machine controlled by an Imp. It works exactly as the other Imp variants, except its toughness is higher than and moves differently from them. It is launched by the Gargantuar Prime. Bug Bot Imps will sometimes fall from the sky in the "Bot Swarm!" ambush. They also absorb 13.5 normal damage shots, which makes them tougher to deal with than other Imps. Since they fall from the sky, a Blover can be used to blow them off of the lawn.

Almanac entry
TOUGHNESS: Average SPEED: Hungry

Lands on the lawn past your defenses, then hops forward.

He always wanted to "see the world", "be his own boss", and "meet and consume interesting brains". He still doesn't understand how he got stuck in this cramped Bug Bot job 24/7.

Appearances
Player's House: Piñata Party

Far Future : Days 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and Terror from Tomorrow

Strategies
They are the only Imps that will be immobilized by the E.M.Peach. When ambushing you from the sky, the Bug Bot Imps can be also blown away from the Blover, but your timing must be spot on. The fastest way to deal with them is the Magnifying Grass. These Imps are even more dangerous because they absorbs 13.5 normal damage shots, while the other variations have 9.25.
