Unforutunately, my turret is my exhaust port.

Heavytread is a redeco of Classics Broadside, transforming into a Type 88 K1, the smaller South-Korean cousin to the US Abrams tank.

He was only available as part of a K-Mart exclusive Mini-Con 12-pack with Backstop, Blight, Bodyblock, Boltflash, Brimstone, Cloudraker, Flatfoot, Knockdown, Makeshift, Skyhammer, and Suppressor.

This mold was also used to make Universe Treadshot.

Trivia

• According to deco artist Joe Kyde, Heavytread's deco is based on Generation 1's Warpath.
