Sandrock - Ganseki Chōjin - 'Professor of Hell*
Gobots Packaging 'Pulver-Eyes is resourceful and strong with a reputation for snacking on rocks of all CA and sizes. When it comes to a fight, his temper is fierce but he's quick to forgive and forget. Pulver-Eyes uses the Arrestor to latch on to enemies and reel them in.'
Japanese Packaging Practical Translation 'Adept in the study of petrology, as Devilrock's right arm he plots evil strategies. Cowardly and not a fair fighter, confuses enemies with hallucinations from the Mirage Beam. [Weapon] Triple Hose - Opponents are dazzled with the Mirage Beam ray that has three levels of strength.'
* As with Slimestone, Pulver-Eye's alignment was changed from the Japan to Western releases. He has a 'MRGR' code as shared with the other bad guys and the bio printed on the Japan packaging describes him as evil and assisting Devilrock.
Robo Machine Packaging (shared by all Series 1 and 2 figures and Saberstone and Spearhead) 'Rock Life has evolved upon the planet 'Quartex' in the form of rock "beings", each with their own unique abilities. Conflict exists between the forces of good and evil ROCK LORDS. But just like GOBOTS, good does not always prevail, sometime the evil side wins!'

The prototype colour for Pulver-Eyes was black (with red eyes). This makes sense of his 'Dolomite' rock type character detail; the packaging was probably made based on the prototype image.
Pulver-eyes' Gobots prototype name was 'Rockmite' which also makes more sense of his insect-like face.
