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. Medium Units can sneak up behind an Autobot and attack them, or even stage ambushes when in fair numbers. They also have a tendency to send a runner for re-inforcements when an Autobot is destroying their number count. Oddly, when Medium Units are hit with limpet mines, they may start running around in a panic (occasionally destroying other clones by running into them) whereas Light Units simply maintain their position.
