Say Mollok 5 times fast...

Mollok Brute
SPD 5
DEF 4
Brawl 1*1
Jump
Cost: 1; Energy: Biotech


The Mollok Brute.
Strong.
Tough.
He has a sawblade for a nose, so how he doesn't run into things we may never know.

He has a good stat line. He's as fast and manueverable as a Snatcher, with a better brawl stat, but no "Manufacture". So while he's not as cool, he will get the job done when it comes to combined brawls and unit murdering. And he will stay around for just as long with his Defence of 4. Securing buildings comes as a good start as the opponent will either put in a half decent effort to disrupt your power base, or simply spend your time doing something better.
I know what this is like. I face GUARD regularly and all he fields is tanks.

So many Tanks.

So that is the Mollok Brute Grunt, the first previewed unit of the Subterran Uprising on "I Hate Mogroth". But there's more! The Mollok Brute Elite!
As per usual, the Elite stands a little higher with an additional boost die to his attacks, but also an additional ability.
Champion—This unit gains +1 brawl and blast B-Dice for each adjacent grunt unit with the same name as this unit.
Two Grunts and an Elite leap arm in arm around the map and then combine their attacks to make a brawl attack of 3 Action Die, and 8 Boost Die.
Best part? They benefit from Cthulubite's Weaken.

So a good solid unit to throw out into the world to tear up some enemies. This is the start of a good relationship.
