Spoiler Alert!
Character Bio: Major X17 earned its reputation in the Soulborg fighting pits as a gladiator of renowned ability. It was granted a command position in the Soulborg battlefield forces, and later went on to earn the rank of Major. Like its Gladiatron counterparts, Major X17 uses a Cyberclaw to lock down its victims. With its immense size, it can lock down even larger opponents. After years of refinement and expert programming, the defense mechanisms of this disciplined gladiator are rivaled by few others. It is well known that any warrior foolish enough to engage Major X17 in hand-to-hand combat is likely asking for certain defeat. (Hasbro)

-Rulings and Clarifications-
- - IMPROVED CYBERCLAW : Movement Using Improved Cyberclaw
Is Major X17 also stuck in the engagement because of Cyberclaw?
No. Cyberclaw only affects figures that are engaged to a Major X17. Once any opponent's figures enter a space adjacent to Major X17, they cannot move. That includes movements around X17 while still staying engaged. However, Major X17 may leave the engagement if it chooses to. On a side note; if 2 opposing sides both have figures with Improved Cyberclaw, they would lock each other down. (Hasbro FAQ)
- CYBERCLAW : Units With Disengage and Ghost Walk
Does Cyberclaw also affect a character with Ghost Walk or Disengage?
Yes. As soon as they pass onto a space adjacent to Major X17, they are locked into the engagement. No special power on an army card or glyph can get them out of the engagement. (Hasbro FAQ)

Jexik: Major X17- Though seemingly a strong figure, slow movement, lack of bonding, and lack of a great attack makes X17 a mostly wasted turn. D
