The Jump Soldier was the fifth-tier creature of the Forge faction that was set to debut in Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade. They could be upgraded into jump troopers. Jump soldiers were flying minotaurs with jet packs and sharp razor claws for hand-to-hand combat. They were the flying units of the faction, and were trained from the Minotaur Generator. Like the rest of the faction, the unit was scrapped after negative fan reaction.
