Ground Soldier
From MediaWiki
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.

- Released as part of the MTMTE Collection, Studio Series "Ground Soldier" is a redeco and new-head retool of the Earthrise Runamuck/Runabout mold, matching the colors of the Warrior variant pictured above complete with cel-shaded orange windows, although the rear-view window is painted black and the rear-side windows are left unpainted. It comes with a sword as its sole accessory. It was released in a 2-pack with the fellow generic Decepticon "Elite Seeker". As part of the MTMTE Collection, this pack was exclusive to Target, 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).
