| The name or term "Heavytread" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Heavytread (disambiguation). |
- Heavytread is a Mini-Con from the Generation 1 continuity family (via the Generations toyline).
Heavytread's small size makes him an incredibly maneuverable tank on the battlefield, giving him both firepower and the speed and agility to make him a hard target to hit. As a member of the Mini-Con Assault Team, he can combine with Windshear and Runway into Centuritron.
Heavytread's nature varies. Incarnations of him include Mini-Cons and Ammonites.
Fiction
2005 IDW continuity
As Shockwave explained his role in the Dark Cybertron prophecy to Galvatron, a swarm of seventy billion Ammonites descended upon Cybertron, with Centuritron front-and-center among the throng of invaders. The Becoming
Games
Transformers Legends
Orion Pax arrived on the Minicons' planet during his investigations into an anomaly associated with the Dead Universe, resulting in the Assault Team taking up arms and joining the battles surrounding an ancient prophecy concerning Cybertron. Dark Cybertron
Transformers: Battle Tactics
Heavytread participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons. Sometimes there were many of him! He was an Uncommon character who could be recruited by collecting 120 units of Cybermetal, and 56 units of Transmetal. Transformers: Battle Tactics
Toys
Generations
- Mini-Con Assault Team (Mini-Con, 2014)
- Part of the eighth wave of Generations Deluxe Class toys, Thrilling 30 Heavytread transforms from a green-and-black tank into a squat robot who can mount his massive turret on either of his arms via 5mm post. He comes with Runway and Windshear, and all three can combine into the mighty Centuritron, with his weapon helping to form the combined robot's combined weapon.
- He also comes with a copy of 'Into the Abyss: Dark Cybertron Chapter 4'.
- The TakaraTomy version, part of the fourteenth wave of Japanese Generations toys, is noticeably shinier, casting his plastics in darker, metallic shades, and featuring additional silver paint details on his arms and legs, among other deco changes. His stock photography erroneously depicts him being cast in the same glossy, non-metallic plastic as the Hasbro version. He lacks the comic.
Notes
- The Generations toyline's ties to the "Dark Cybertron" comic event prompted the introduction of the Ammonites into the 2005 IDW continuity, an alien faction of small, green combiners, nicknamed "Minicons".
Foreign names
- Japanese: Heavytread (へビートレッド Hebītoreddo)
