I was taking a look at this table and it came to my mind that from what I remember, there's something in the Standard Levelz that isn't present there... I've checked it in-game and I was right: there is a Gauntletz Grunt using a toob in level 8-1 ("Use Those Sponge Gunz"):
As you probably know, a specialised enemy grunt will always carry the tool he's specialised in, regardless of what you'll type in the Powerup field. Then how's that possible? Well, I've checked it with editor, and after some testing, I've learned that it's not actually a Gauntletz Grunt... it's the grunt with 0 in Points field, with the colour being team-dependent!
It appears that if a grunt is related to the enemy team yet his Points field contains 0, then we get a grunt that has a default colour of his team (we can see these default colourz in Battlez) and acts pretty much like Post Guard - he will not move and will not chase solver's grunt, though he will fight if attacked. Team 1 means green (Dumb Chaser), 2 means blue (Gauntletz Grunt), 3 means red (Kamikaze Grunt). They can carry any tool, but will not use them for anything than protecting themselvez.
It doesn't look to be much more useful than regular Post Guard, but can provide some variety if anyone wants a Post Guard with a different colour... or, optionally, it can confuse solver, if he expects some specific behaviour when seeing a grunt of specific colour... that carries a different tool and/or doesn't attack.
