Heavytread is awesome. A great figure, even without the gimmick. I recommend him if you can find him.


The only way to give Heavytread a great all Autobot drone layout for his combiner form is to grab a Stakeout and Protectobots 5-pack, 2 if you don't already own one. It gives him a symmetrical look made up completely of war machines. I grabbed an extra Stakeout when they were clearancing them off and haven't regretted it one bit. The combined form is awesome!

Personally, I just scraped the :BOT: off of Heavytread and put him with some Decepticons:

Was playin' around with the Combaticons a little yesterday and today and saw this thread pop up.
He's got some great poseability beside the limbs popping off until you get him set up.
That's the main disappointment with them, they're not all bad. I actually like most of them, I can live with the flaws for the most part.

Iron Man is surprised by the sheer might of this robot.
Could he be feeding off these smaller robots for more power?

He pairs up so nicely with mini-cons too

I love what you did with Throttler!

The posability of most PCC in combined mode can be enhanced by cheating, I agree. :P

I was really surprised when Leadfoot's arm snapped off.

Well, the minicons make for good classics targetmasters. :lol:

Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
Well, in United EX Heavytread as Tank Master will be a :CON: and Skyhammer as Air Master a :BOT:. That makes them perfect for the Combaticons and Aerialbots respectively.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

His repaint stakeout is just as cool(ok, maybe not alone), but Smolder does come with a great mini-con and I think has the better colors..

As stated above the Protectobots are a good combiner.
I also found that Thunderwing and Prowl mini-cons are a great addition to the team.

quite a size difference


I think I'm gonna work on getting each drone a mini-con to control it
and have my commanders control\partner with the mini-cons. :michaelbay:

I was kinda surprised by the two I got, but stopped since I couldn't get over the Mini-Cons being clear and I was starting to concentrate on Classics at the time.

Did it snap at the bicep rotation? I had the same issue with mine, it's like the black part is too big. :\ (Thankfully, there's no issues superglue can't fix) But, he's got balljointed shoulders with a wide range of movement, so it's not so bad.
