Heavy Soldier

Heavy Soldiers are a body-type from the War for Cybertron portion of the Aligned continuity family.

If you think this gun is big, you should see my spare.

What the Brutes do with melee, Heavy Soldiers do with big fragging guns.

Voice actor: Troy Baker (Autobot versions), Richard Epcar (Decepticon versions)

Standing taller than the average Transformer, Heavy Soldiers roam the battlefield carrying their ion displacers, pouring out firepower that devastates any opponent foolish enough to come within range. However, they roam slowly, due to the massive size of their guns. This leaves them "vulnerable" to attack, although the term only applies loosely due to their considerable armor and stamina. Just don't try to take them head on—you may be left with a few hundred bullet holes in your chassis. A pack of these soldiers can easily fill the battlefield with more artillery fire than a small war. When they die, they leave behind their guns, so grab 'em fast! Transformers: War for Cybertron

It really hurts when you drop a gun this big on your foot.

Notes

• Like most Decepticon troops, the Decepticon Heavies vaguely resemble either the Generation 2 Cyberjets or Cobra Battle Android Troopers (especially their faceplates) while Autobot Heavy Soldiers bear a certain resemblance to Roadbuster, the gun-loving Wrecker (which is fitting, really).
