'''Thrust''' is one of [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]'s higher-ranking Decepticon soldiers. His occasional [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Inferno (Armada)|Inferno]], plus sometimes he commands the [[Air Military Mini-Con Team]]. A renowned tactician who conquered the planets Vector, Orga, and Duke before coming to Earth, he possesses the ability to go into stealth mode and become completely invisible, much like [[Mirage (G1)| Mirage]] of G1.

:''('''Note''': Thrust's personality varied significantly between the comic and cartoon, see entries below for details. As well, Inferno's profile states that Thrust can achieve invisibility when he powerlinks to Inferno, while in the cartoon he displays the ability to go into stealth mode before even encountering Inferno.)''

:''Voice actor:'' [[Colin Murdoch]] (US) ??? (Japan)

Thrust was a renowned tactician who joined [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] on [[Earth]] in an attempt to improve his soldiers' relations. Thrust led the Decepticons to some short victories and summoned the giant battleship [[Tidal Wave]] to aid them, but was quickly dethroned of his rank after his failures began to stack up, eventually falling to the point where he was almost defeated by five meddling kids, [[Space Mini-Con Team]], and a barn. Hated by all the other Decepticons due to his superior attitude, Thrust began to shrink into himself and got more desperate to prove his power.

Eventually, Thrust joined [[Sideways]] with the lure of ultimate power, and managed to steal the three [[Mini-Con]] weapons that were the keys to reactivating [[Unicron]]'s body. Thrust met his demise when he demanded Unicron attack his former master, Galvatron, only to have Unicron act totally unaware of Thrust's presence. Thrust fell into a seam on Unicron's surface which began to tighten and close as Unicron moved, and was crushed to death as Galvatron walked away.

===Dreamwave Comic continuity===
====''Armada''====
Thrust was a somewhat cowboy-like entity that served loyally the Decepticons. He was devoted to Megatron, and followed his orders faithfully. Thrust first appeared via [[transwarp]] from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], carrying rocket boosters so the Decepticons could fly to the moon and capture the Mini-Cons stationed there.

Later, Thrust was sent to northern Alaska to back up [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], who was there to retrieve a fallen Mini-Con escape pod. First Thrust took a torch-blast to the face from [[Dune Runner]] of the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]], who was there to save his allies. Then he was knocked around by Cyclonus, who was feeling the effects of a triple-[[Powerlinx]] with the entire [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]], which began to burn out his circuits and drive him mad with pain. When he finally came to, between Cyclonus' breakdown, the arrival of the Autobots, and [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] using an orbiting [[solar scalpel]] to melt the ice that buried the escape pod, Thrust decided maybe he'd better get the heck outta Dodge.

Later, Thrust followed [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] to a building lot in San Fransisco, to investigate a weird [[transwarp]] disturbance. He got there just in time to get shot down by [[Galvatron (G1)|a herald of Unicron]], who was seeking the refugee [[Mini-Con]] [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]].

When Megatron left to attack the Autobot base on Earth, Thrust was left behind to guard their [[Silver Ridge]] headquarters. He quickly had the crap kicked out of him by the ''other'' heralds of [[Unicron]]. Not a fatal beating, though, as he was repaired in time to journey back to Cybertron and face the planet-eater.

====''Energon''====
After the destruction of Unicron and the apparent death of Megatron, Thrust became a security officer in the new peacetime. He joined [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot's]] unit and defended Toronto from the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] [[Divebomb (Energon)|Divebomb]] clone-hordes when they attacked Earth. When [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] reappeared, Thrust tried to rejoin his former leader, but Megatron completely ignored him, warping to his next destination.

==Toys==
===Armada===
*'''Thrust with Inferno''' (Deluxe, 2003)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-05'''
[[Image:ArmadaThrust_toy.jpg|left|thumb|120px|"Hehehe... flathead.... boy, I can really dish it out!"]]

: Thrust transforms into a dark green [[Wikipedia:F-35 Lightning II|F-35 Lightning II]] fighter jet. In jet mode, he has two pressure-launch missile launchers, and a space to store his Mini-Con partner Inferno in his (Inferno's) truck mode. Aside from his robot mode, he also has an "assault" robot mode, which turns his torso around 180 degrees and extends his winged backpack; attaching a Mini-Con to the [[Powerlinx]] plug on his chest and pushing it up and down causes the backpack to move as a spinning blade.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Universe]]'' [[Sunstorm (Universe)|Sunstorm]].

*'''Thrust and Thunder with Air Military Micron''' (Multi-pack, 2003)
:''Japanese ID number:''

: In Japan, Thrust was available both as an individual (well, with Inferno) and in a larger boxed set that also included the [[Air Military Mini-Con Team]]. There are no notable difference between the Japanese and US releases.

*'''Powerlinx Thrust with Powerlinx Inferno''' (Deluxe, 2003)

: Part of the later-series "Powerlinx" line of [[redeco]]s, Powerlinx Thrust got a new color scheme that was a "reversal" of the [[Generation 1]] "[[conehead]]" [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], primarily light brown with dark blue and black accents.

: The packaging for this release, however, showed him in a color scheme more like his [[Thrust (G1)|G1 namesake]], burgundy with black (and some bone-white accents). His coloration was changed to the brown-and-blue too late to change the packaging photography.

[[Image:PL_Red_Thrust_toy.jpg|right|thumb|175px|You did not own this.]]
: Later on, [[Takara]] produced this red color version of Thrust as a "[[USA Edition]]" [[exclusive]], though reportedly some were sold at retail in Israel and found in Australia, of all places.
