Background

Kineticlops is a beast of pure energy, its origin remains a mystery (in reality we see in his origin that he was previously a factory worker that was merged with the electricity and the alien UFO's toxic vapors). However, scientists theorize that the electricity somehow mixed with an organic life form to produce a strange fusion of organic and elemental mass. Strangely, the suspended eyeball in the center of its body appears to be immune to the surges of electricity that radiate from its body during its special attack. Eye witnesses claim that the effective range of these electrical bolts can span entire cities.

  • Cloaking Cube: A cloaking device made by aliens that allow the user to be temporarily invisible and prevents target lock.
  • Throwing Objects: Throwing objects vary greatly in what it can be in War of the Monsters. They can be of the following different classes:
    • Spears: Items that can pierce and stab an enemy, best for stunning them. These are the following spear types:
      • Radio Tower
      • Broken Pipes
      • Bars
    • Clubs: Items that can deal extra impact damage to monsters. These are the following club types:

      • Gas Trucks

Notable Techniques

  • Electrical Bolt: Kineticlops' long-range attack is chain lightning that reaches a medium distance and does average damage.
  • Long Flight: H-H-H
  • Shock Hand: L-L-L-L
  • Head Fry: H-L-H-H
  • Static Bash: H-H-L-H

  • Lightning Juggle: L-L-L-DL-DL-UH

Other

Standard Tactics: The monsters use the environment around them in combat along with using their melee attacks and special moves. Kineticlops will physically attack its opponent and use it's electricity.

Weaknesses: Nothing notable.

Trivia

  • SCEA producer Mike Giam noted on the design for Togera that one of his earlier designs turned out to be a skin for another monster. It's possible that the skin is Kineticlops' 4th skin, as the main problem with Togera's design was how amphibious he should be.
  • According to Eric Simonich, Kineticlops is a combination of scrapped monster concepts.
    • Also according to Eric, Kineticlops' 4th costume, the amphibian monster, was removed due to a lack of proper applications for it. There weren't many levels where being an aquatic monster served a purpose.
  • Like Magmo, Kineticlops seems to have not been born from inspiration via Sci-Fi films, but more from the imaginations of the game's developers. However, they claim he is inspired by old Sci-Fi monsters.
    • Some people say that he looks like a homage inspiration to "The Crawling Eye" (1958), and "The Killer Eye" (1999) because of the eyes, While having a slight mix between 3 Scooby Doo monsters, like the 1000 Volt Ghost from "Watt a Shocking Ghost", and The Phantom Virus from "Scooby Doo and The Cyber Chase", because they're all both made of electronic energy, and The Skeleton Men from "A Creepy Tangle Of The Bermuda Triangle" because all three of them have one eye.
  • Another possible inspiration is Zzzax from the Incredible Hulk comics, another giant being of pure electricity.
  • Kineticlops appears in Stage 6 as quadruple, respawning guards of the reactor towers at Atomic Island.
  • Although made of pure electricity, Kineticlops can still suffer damage from electrical hazards within the game.
  • In one of his victory animations, Kineticlops will bounce his own eye like a basketball.
  • Kineticlops appears as a playable Character for $50000 in Downhill Domination, another game produced by Incognito Entertainment in 2003.
    • His bio states that his age is unknown, but he was born since the big bang and "10 NS.".
      • this would be impossible, as alien life could not have formed since the beginning of the universe, unless this scenario were to have been the result of a supernova creating Kineticlops as a sentient being and therefore the first ever self-aware entity in existence.
        • Taking the information into account, Kineticlop's current age (as of the big bang to the release of Downhill domination in the 2000's), he would be 13.2 billion years old.
  • Kineticlops is only monster, that's actually a human.
    • He, alongside Zorgulon and Raptros are only monsters to not have costumes themed after machinery.
  • According to Kineticlop's downhill domination bio, his height "varies". This would be accurate to how he is human sized in the game unlike in WOTM where he is around 30 meters.
    • For his size to fluctuate he would likely have to absorb plasma and electricity.
