I guess it depends on how much money you have to spend. At around $21, he's a pretty pricey troop builder IMO. He is an awesome figure, though!
I don't see how troop building Voyagers would be worth anything...other than taking up all that pesky empty space and $20s overwhelming your wallet.
No it its not. The only new figure worth army building worth army building would be like insecticon or something droneish
I did a LOT of "mega" troop building back in the BW era, mostly because Mega toys kept getting clearanced. Giving Antagony an army of TM Scavengers was very sweet. So if you've got a need for infinite dumptrucks, go for it! D/L
for troop building, i'd prefer scouts with obvious military/mounted weapons theme, like the movie beachcomber, cybertron hardtop.
If anybody is confused about why nukedproducts is even considering army building Payload, it's because Payload is in the (more or less) same colours as the Constructicon Warriors (yellow Long Haul) from the ROTF video game.
