Dreadtread is a lumbering mass of small mindedness and even smaller conscience, which makes him the perfect foot-soldier for the Decepticon agenda. He is cruel, sadistic, takes pleasure in the suffering of others, and believes completely in the idea of survival of the fittest. In his AS90 Braveheart Self-Propelled Howitzer alt-mode he rains 155mm death onto his enemies before driving the point home with a mounted turret. In robot mode he utilizes his impressive mass to shake the earth itself underfoot and pummel those that would challenge his supremacy. His psychotic nature is often the bane of friend and foe alike when they find themselves within his path of destruction, or are unlucky enough to be nearby.
