Salamander

"This isn’t any ordinary Flame Trooper, because this guy is Armored! The enemy better be ready to get crispy."

- IKKI, per the 2.2 Patch notes.

Overview
The Salamander is a premium soldier, akin to the Juggernaut except that he starts with 3 attacks: a flame spray similar to the Flame Trooper, a Deep Flame akin to the Heavy Recon Vehicle's fire attack, and lastly a fire-infused, ammo-dependent melee punch. The melee attack does damage-type, upwards of 100 damage, and has high critical bonuses in addition to some armor piercing capabilities.
