- "MTMTE Collection" Studio Series Ground Soldier is a redeco and new-head retooling of the Earthrise Runamuck/Runabout mold, transforming into an '80s sportscar somewhat reminiscent of a Lotus Esprit X180. Like the other Devastation-deco toys, only his windscreen is given cel-shading paint, as is his "fake" chest windscreen. Both have the same "sheen" design despite being differnet sizes, a nice bit of attention to detail.
- Instead of either of the Battlechargers' blasters, he comes with a new-mold sword accessory based on the type the Soldiers use in the game, which is itself based on Razorclaw's "sonic sword".
- He was released with his fellow generic Decepticon Elite Seeker in a Target-exclusive two-pack, with a small amount of stock also available through Hasbro Pulse.
Notes
[edit]- The Warrior and Sergeant variations are based on the Battlechargers (taking many elements from their Timelines toys).
- The Heavy Weapon Soldier is based on Blitzwing, but without the jet mode or associated jet kibble. They are also the largest non-combiner character in the game, standing twice as tall as even Optimus Prime and Grimlock (and Blitzwing, obviously).
