Brock the Croc loves busting moves on the dance floor, adores carving it up on his motorbike, and lives to shred his guitar till his claws bleed! On top of all that, these days he's trying to be a good leader too, but life in Saltbush Swamp isn't always one big party. It's hard to keep everybody happy.

When small helpful robots turn up during a swamp disco, all of Brock's friends are thrilled, but Brock wonders why these metallic creatures have really arrived...

Brock discovers the robots have been sent by the evil Mayor Grunter when they all combine to create a giant furious metallic beast called Gruntzilla! If Brock can't figure out a way to lead his friends to overcome Gruntzilla, their home will be stomped flat by the huge angry robot!

Brock needs a solution and he'd better make it snappy!
