"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. Like the other Devastation-deco toys, only his windscreen is given cel-shading paint, as is his "fake" chest windscreen. Both have the same "sheen" design despite being differnet sizes, a nice bit of attention to detail.

Instead of either of the Battlechargers' blasters, he comes with a new-mold sword accessory based on the type the Soldiers use in the game, which is itself based on Razorclaw's "sonic sword".

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).
