Warrior (left) and Sergeant (right) variations
Heavy Weapon variation

The Ground Soldiers are groups of identical robots that serve as Decepticon foot soldiers, with each group specializing in some variation of combat, led by the Ground Soldier General.

Types include:

  • Warrior Ground Soldiers (specializing in swords, fists, and energy shields)
  • Sergeant Ground Soldiers (specializing in hand-to-hand combat)
  • Heavy Weapon Ground Soldiers (specializing in hammers)

They serve in contrast to the mass-produced aerial Seekers.

"MTMTE Collection" Studio Series Ground Soldier is a redeco and new-head retooling of the Earthrise Runamuck/Runabout mold, transforming into an 80's sportscar somewhat reminiscent of a Lotus Esprit X180. In a somewhat restrained move for a Devastation-deco toy, only his windscreen is given cel-shading paint; curiously though, his rear window is black (and his rear-side windows are completely unpainted). Instead of either of the Battlechargers' blasters, he comes with a new-mold sword accessory.
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

  • The Warrior and Sergeant variations are based on the Battlechargers (taking many elements from their Timelines toys), while the Heavy Weapon variation is based on Blitzwing.
  • The Heavy Weapon Soldier is the largest non-combiner character in the game, standing twice as tall as even Optimus Prime and Grimlock (and Blitzwing, obviously).
