LeGrin (sometimes rendered as Le Grin) is a type of enemy that debuted in the original Space Ace arcade game. Described in Magicom promotional materials as "free-floating, dastardly guardians of the speed tunnel."[1] They appear as red-colored robotic sentinels with mustaches that are able to levitate and pursue Ace through the checkerboard tunnel maze, attempting to electrocute him with their Tesla Rods, two metal sticks connected at one end by an electric cable.
In the Ruby-Spears Space Ace animated series, LeGrin is a singular character rather than a type of robot and serves as a loyal subservient to Commander Borf.
Trivia[]
- The sequence with the LeGrin enemies only appears in the "Ace" difficulty setting of the arcade game, immediately following the sequence with the Buzzers and prior to Dexter's landing on the Yellow Planet.
- Magicom Promotional Kits for the arcade game described LeGrin as “a speed tunnel guard with a mustache.”[2]
