Gladiatrons cyberclaw w/ multiple figures

[MajinDrake]

Here's a question we debated for a little while during an epic heroscape battle. If there are 5 small/ medium figures adjacent to an opponents gladiatron are all of them on LOCKDOWN; or just one?
We ended up playing where all of them were effected by the cyberclaw b/c it seems to read that way on the card, but the arguement was theres only 1 claw on a gladiatron ; therefore, common sense tells u 1 gladiatron cant hold 5 figures?

As unrealistic as it sounds it affects all of them. Yes the sculpt has 1 claw but it can hold all of them in place.

Thus the word cyber would mean that the claw on the figure emits some sort of cyber energy that "lassoes" all adjacent figures.

With regards to HeroScape rulings always go by what the card says and not what necessarily makes sense based on the sculpt.

There's your problem right there.

Take common sense out of the equation. It really does not help even a tiny, tiny bit.

In another thread like this somebody said something along the lines of that mechanics always trumps style, so despite the fact he only has one claw, the wording implies it affects all of them, which, according to the general consensus here, it does.
