Soldier (unit)

The name or term "Soldier" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Soldier (disambiguation).

Soldiers are some of the most common soldiers in the Autobot, Neutral, and Decepticon armies. Armed with Neutron assault rifles, Photon burst rifles & Battle pistols, Soldiers hide on rooftops and high-up crevices. Soldiers are not dangerous, but can cause a lot of problems to their enemies if they come in large numbers. While soldiers have no patterns to base an attack on, a smart warrior can exploit their low health, and their weak armor, to kill them easily with a powerful weapon.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark

Optimus ordered a lot of Autobot Soldiers to make a stand, and to keep the Decepticons away from the Dark Spark. After that, most of the Autobot army tried to stop Shockwave from taking the Dark Spark to Kolkular. Things went wrong, as Shockwave, along with the Combaticons, not only murdered a lot of Autobots but also took Cliffjumper as a prisoner. After that, Optimus, along with Jazz, infiltrated Kolkular to retrieve the Dark Spark and rescue Cliffjumper. During this, they faced a lot of Decepticon soldiers. When Cliffjumper was rescued, Optimus ordered Jazz to take Cliffjumper out of Kolkular, before going to face Megatron himself. Once Optimus reached the Dark Spark's room, he noticed that were a lot of dead Autobot soldiers. To his horror, Megatron revived them with the Dark Spark's power, turning them into zombies loyal to him. Rise of the Dark Spark (console)

Studio Series "Gamer Edition Decepticon Soldier" is a heavy retool of the earlier Gamer Edition Barricade. Nearly every part of the previous figure has been replaced. The figure converts into a "Cybertronian sports car" in 12 steps and retains Barricade's neutron assault rifle accessory which can be stowed atop their canopy in vehicle mode. The Decepticon Soldier and other figures in the Gamer Edition series have removable arms, which can be swapped out for their blasters, to emulate the way characters' arms in-game transformed into their weapons.
