The soldiers or fighting units on foot, whatever the Toykind
Any individual who is on foot and is specialized in a certain military area is considered Infantry. Therefore, a pilot or driver are not considered as such, and anyone who changes their status and starts controlling a vehicle or construction, the same. These can be from Plastic Soldiers and Action Figures, to Block Brick Figures or Robots.
Army Men infantry:
Rifle Soldier:
The weakest Army Men infantry. They were the basic infantry in the past. Their M4s are mostly effective against other infantry and armor (when in large numbers).
Auto-Rifle Soldier:
Basic Army Men rifle infantry. Their M16s are mostly effective against other infantry and armor (when in large numbers). The backbone of the Army Men infantry
Grenadier:
The Grenadier has a longer range and more destructive power the regular infantry. In groups, Grenadiers are effective against heavily armored units and structures. However be warned that if one grenadier were to die their own grenades would be destroyed causing splash damage to nearby units whether they be friend or foe and cause a chain reaction if Grenadiers are packed close together.
Bazooka Soldier:
Infantry units equipped with rocket launchers, Bazooka Soldiers are slower than regular Rifle Infantry but are more effective at destroying enemy infantry, armor and aircraft.
Flamethrower Soldier:
These soldiers are slower and more susceptible to damage than other infantry (due to the large tanks of flammable chemicals they carry). The Flamethrower Soldier can decimate plastic and wood structures and infantry in seconds with his flamethrower. However, be warned: these units also create splash damage to nearby other units similar to Grenadiers if killed in combat.
Medic:
Battlefield medics have the ability to heal friendly infantry units but cannot attack enemy infantry do to the Whiskey Convention rules.
Engineer:
Engineers are deployed onto the battlefield to capture enemy structures or repair one’s own. They are unarmed and must be protected by other combat units.
They are the ones in charge of engineering and inventing when it came to creating new artifacts, weapons, and vehicles. They were one of the most important fronts in the fight against the Tan, because they were in charge of designing the technology to counter Plastro’s super weapons.
Plastro had access to the Real World on a large scale long before the Greens, and began using technology from there to fight them. The Green engineers did not have access to that type of technology, so they paled for a time against the Tan. Before the Real World, although they were always one step behind, the engineers usually ended up catching up and countering the Tan. But in this case the difference was bigger. But once they gained access to that world in Sarge’s Heroes, when the Green Command decided to make the portals public, it did not take them long to return to a sustainable balance in the Tanic-Greeno war. Although when access to other worlds was obtained, sustainable warfare gradually came to an end. This is one of the reasons why the Army Men Alliance created rules for the exploration of other worlds… because such interference can break the natural balance and bring toy civilizations to the brink of extinction.
Attack Dog (Grey & Red Army only):
Attack Dogs are the only unit that can detect Spies that are trying to infiltrate the base. Although unarmored and easy to kill, Dogs make the perfect in-base guard units against sneak attacks by engineers, Spies and Thieves.
Spy (Blue Army only):
Spies are covert infantry units that are disguised as enemy soldiers and can infiltrate enemy buildings. You can find out how much money your enemy has, what units they are building, and how many units they have. Careful consideration should be made in that attack dogs can discover them.
Thief:
Thieves can steal credits from enemy ore refineries and silos (1/2 the credit will be stolen).
Field mechanic:
This unit is able to repair any damaged vehicles that are nearby or ordered to. While repairing units at a bit slower rate, Mechanics have the advantage of mobility and their use is free (apart from the cost of molding them, of course).
Sparking Soldier (Red & Tan Army only):
These units shoot a low range electric blast on the enemy, carrying a coin battery in the back. These units are also unable to be crushed by large vehicles.
Other subtypes of soldiers
Paratroopers:
These units can range from soldiers with rifles, machine guns and even grenades. Anything that is not too heavy.
They are usually dropped from troop cargo planes, but any soldier who jumps with a parachute can also be considered a paratrooper, even those who eject from a plane going down.
