The slightly-less-common Decepticlone

Medium Units are a type of Decepticlone from the Transformers (PS2) video game.

Medium Units are described as the workhorses of the Decepticlone army. They are stronger and more intelligent than the Light Unit model of Decepticlone. Medium Units display far better combat skill than Light Units, able to perform a variety of attacks such as strafing a target, effectively dodging oncoming shots and firing from behind cover. They also have a tendency to send a runner for re-inforcements when an Autobot is destroying their number count. They may also have a stock of grenades they can lob at their targets.

In eariler levels, Medium Units serve as commanders for the Light Units. Later in the game, once they become the standard level of enemy, they are commanded by the adequetly named Commander Units.

Some Medium Units even come equipped with deflector shields, though they do not have enough power to maintain these shields under heavy fire. This model of Medium Unit is differentiated from the more common type by its red armour. They may also become disoriented if the Command Unit they were following is destroyed.

It's on.

Medium Units are capable of manning the stationary Turrets used to guard certain areas.
