'''Thunder Clash''' is the powerful, intelligent commander-in-chief of the Autobot [[Turbomaster]]s. Fearless in battle and keen in strategy, he is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, his mere appearance sapping the fighting spirit from [[Decepticon]] forces. He commands the respect of the Autobots under his command and the fear of the Decepticon [[Predator]]s they fight against. Thunderclash worries not about the air superiority of the Predators, believing that by standing as one, the Turbomasters will be able to resist any that's thrown at them.

During a Decepticon Predator attack on the Autobot base, [[Skyquake]] gazed into his Supersight as he was about to join the battle. Suddenly, ''into his Supersight view looms a menacing shape that strikes terror even into his hardened heart...''

Presumebly, Thunderclash and Skyquake fought after this.

===Generation 1===
*'''Thunder Clash''' (Turbomaster, 1992)
[[Image:G1Thunder_clash_toy.jpg|right|thumb|]]

: Thunderclash transforms into a Cybertronic cab-over tractor-trailer. His trailer is armed with two spring-loaded, plunger fired missile launchers. In robot mode he uses a small handgun. His trailer unfolds to become a missile-launching assault tower, equipped with 'gravity fed' missiles that descend and reload the launchers as soon as a round is fired.

:This toy also has an undocumented feature. The back of Thunder Clash's legs have notches in them that fits his handgun's "wings" for storage in vehicle mode.

:This mold was [[retool|retooled]] into ''[[Machine Wars]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. This later version of the mold had a planned [[redeco]] as [[Motormaster|Menasor]] in the ''[[Universe]]'' line, but was cancelled.

==Trivia==
*Thunder Clash began life as "Hyperdrive". According to the concept art, the truck mode is roughly the same (the trailer sports two large "vent sections" on the sides) but the cab and part of the trailer together form one very large robot in a fashion similar to [[Motormaster]]. For whatever reason, this robot is shown holding one of [[Thunderwing]]'s rifles and having a chest similar to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Star Convoy]].<ref>[[Transformers Generations Deluxe]], p113</ref>. At one point, he was to be the leader 'above' Thunder Clash, but in the end, the design still never saw the light of day.

*Hyperdrive actually has a single appearance outside of concept line art- Glaring down the scope of the Predator Skyquake.
