{{disambig2|the Unicron Trilogy Decepticon|the Generation 1 Decepticon|Thundercracker (G1)}}

''Thundercracker is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Armada]] and [[Cybertron]] portions of the [[Unicron Trilogy]].''

'''Thundercracker''' suffered from low self-esteem and longed for approval from authority figures to validate his existence. He was willing to work as hard as necessary to gain attention and praise from [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], but when all his efforts were ignored or taken for granted, he grew frustrated. Thundercracker felt the need to engage in ever more risky and reckless behavior in an attempt to gain Megatron's notice. Many predicted this would lead to his destruction.

When next we see Thundercracker it is over ten years later, loyally serving under [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] during the search for the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s. In the intervening years he became something of a jokester and goofball. This has often gained him the attention that he craves. Though frequently, especially when Megatron is the brunt of the joke, it is far from positive attention. Thundercracker doesn't seem mature enough to tell the difference, but he does know when to get the smelt out of Decepticon HQ before Megatron looks for someone to pummel.

''(Note: the [[Dreamwave]]'' More Than Meets The Eye ''bio compilation for the Aramda series portrays Thundercracker very differently, as a former Decepticon who left the army centuries ago. However, this does not seem to mesh with the glimpses of unreleased'' [[Energon (franchise)|Energon]] ''comic issues where Thundercracker, along with several other Armada-series characters, show up in the present day.)''

==Fiction==
===Animated Continuity===
====Armada====
The character "'''Thundercracker'''" is never seen in the Armada cartoon. When Starscream gains his Powerlinx coloration, however, he happens to look just like Thundercracker. In ''Armada'' (although not ''Micron Legend'') he specifically says "I look like Thundercracker," with a clear tone of distaste, proving that, although he is not seen, Armada Thundercracker must exist in this continuity as well.

====Cybertron====
'''Voice actor:''' [[Mark Oliver]] (US) ??? (Japan)

In Galaxy Force, he has a fetish for extravagant special attacks such as "''Sure Kill! Super Electric Lightning Shock Electric Thundercracker Punch!''"

==Toys==
===Armada===
*Thundercracker with Zapmaster (Maxcon, 2003)
:Thundercracker is a [[redeco]] of Armsda [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], transforming into a Cybertronic fighter jet. He is something of a rarity in the Armada line, in that he is a redeco that is a new, separate character rather than a "[[Powerlinx]]" upgrade of an existing character. He came with the [[Mini-Con]] [[Zapmaster]], who was specially designed to fit between his flip-out cannons, and could also be stored on the underside of Thundercracker's nosecone in jet mode.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed to make Armada [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]] and [[Universe]] [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]].

''(Note: In Japan, Thundercracker's toy '''is''' simply a "powered up" version of Starscream.)''

For the [[Built to Rule]] line, Thundercracker was once again a redeco, a new-color version of the BTR Starscream toy. He was one of the last of the Transformers BTR toys released at wide retail.

===Cybertron===
*Thundercracker (Deluxe, 2005)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GD-02'''

:This mold is also used by Cybertron Skywarp.

A much smaller (sub-Basic), simplified version of this toy was released in the fourth wasve of the [[Legends of Cybertron]] line.

Demolishor (Armada)

2006-08-22T01:50:25Z

71.245.122.181: /* Cybertron */

:''Demolishor is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] series.''

'''Demolishor''' is a military expert that served [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] through the [[Unicron Battles]]. A very trusted, but sometimes dim soldier that holds very true-to-heart values concerning loyalty and devotion to the Decepticon cause.

''Japanese name:'' '''Ironhide''' (''Armada''), '''Irontread''' (''Energon'', dumptruck body)

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====Armada====
'''Voice actor:''' [[Alvin Sanders]] (US) ?? (Japan)

Demolishor served as Megatron's right-hand military expert until the arrival of [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]]. He was often dense and simple-minded, but very devoted to his cause. Perhaps the most thoughtful action of Demolishor in this time was to tear through a door Megatron had sealed in order to stop Megatron from destroying [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], who Demolishor valued as a Decepticon ally. Demolishor was seriously damaged by [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]], only to be reformatted into a red/white color scheme (as a homage to his Japanese namesake, [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]). He would go on to serve in the United Armada against [[Unicron]].

====Energon====
'''Voice actor:''' [[Alvin Sanders]] (US) ?? (Japan)

After the end to the great war, Demolishor was assigned as gate security to [[Ocean City]] on [[Earth]]. He often found himself at odds with the peaceful humans and [[Autobot]]s. Demolishor was a being built for war and strategy, and felt heavily misunderstood by all around him.

Demolishor had a specific relationship with [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] during this period, who didn't trust him for being a Decepticon. Demolishor considered Ironhide a greenhorn soldier and ridiculed him for it.

During Megatron's return, Demolishor was granted that new life of battle he desired. Due to the time spent on earth in peace, Demolishor had secretly developed a kinship with his new friends on earth that would cause problems between he and the returning Megatron. Demolishor would live in confusion and shame until his death, a death he chose as proof of his cause and purpose.

The death would come shortly after the launch of the [[Miranda II]]. [[Dr. Jones]] had fitted it with a portable Energon Field that could be activated at any time. During a Decepticon assault, one involving Demolishor, it was activated, nearly frying Megatron in the process. Demolishor pushed his leader out of harm's way, only to be blown apart by the Energon Ballistics wave instead.

Megatron was hit hard by Demolishor's sacrifice. He immediatley retreated from battle, taking the damaged spark with him. The spark was fitted into a new body, that of a green drump truck. Due to the damage to his spark, this reborn Demolishor exhibited ape-like traits and was easily excited. Demolishor latched onto [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]] as a partner-in-crime due to the common level of intelligence they now shared.

====Cybertron====
(non-show appearance)
Demolishor made his return in the Cybertron toy series, sporting a recolor of his Armada mold that combined his Energon and original Armada color schemes. In bio, Demolishor is said to have been left behind on Cybertron during the evacuation, but has kept himself busy by fighting off the Scrapmetal Terrorcon hoard. Demolishor has heard rumors that Megatron has once again returned from the dead, but is qouted as hoping it is not true, as he enjoys not being pushed around by his commander.

Offshoot (Energon)

2006-08-22T01:34:29Z

71.245.122.181:

:''Offshoot is an [[Autobot]]-allied [[Omnicon]] from the [[Energon_(franchise)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]].''

[[Image:Offshoot-art.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Slice and dice]]

Unlike his brother [[Signal Flare]], '''Offshoot''' doesn't care about working in the [[Energon (franchise)|Energon]] mines. He'd rather use his impressive Energon-sculpting abilities as an [[Omnicon]] to make [[energon weapon|weapons]], than ''use'' those weapons to shred [[Decepticon]] armor. He's a very skilled combatant, even earning the praise of [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], but his tendancy to show off for his teammates has left him vulnerable to unseen attackers.

==Toys==
===Energon===
*'''Offshoot''' (Omnicon, 2004)

: A [[redeco]] of Signal Flare, Offshoot transforms into a Cybertronic half-track MASER tank (a vehicle created in the [[Godzilla]] movie series). Moving the MASER arm causes the dish on the end to spin. The dish can be combined with a pair of shields to form an [[energon weapon]], a large spinning buzzsaw that can be held by most larger toys in the Unicron Trilogy lines.

: Offshoot was sold in Japan as a store [[exclusive]] as '''Signal Flare USA Edition'''. The Signal Flare/Offshoot body design is used as the model for the [[Attacktix]] Omnicon. His "Energon Cutter" weapon mold was also used to make several different store-exclusive energon weapons in Japan, as well as a bonus pack-in with the ''Super Link'' [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot Fire]] upgrade.
