Universe Treadshot is a redeco of Classics Broadside, transforming from an M1 Abrams main battle tank into a robot with a mini-gun for a right hand. In tank mode, his turret can rotate 180 degrees, and the cannon barrel can elevate (it kind of has to as part of his transformation).
Unfortunately, due to being extremely top-heavy in robot mode and having incredibly small feet, it is ridiculously hard to get him to stand up and stay standing up for any length of time without the wind from, say, a passing dust mote knocking him over.
He was only available as part of a Mini-Con ten-pack, along with Windrazor, Ransack, Stockade, Overcharge, Sky Shadow, Scavenger, Longview, Snow Cat, and Crosshairs. This set was only available at certain retailers, notably Kmart and Meijer in the US, Canadian Tire in Canada, and Tesco in the UK. He was also avaiable in Spain's El Corte Inglês department stores.
This mold was also used to make Universe Heavytread and Ironside.
