'''Thundercracker''', the '''Egomaniac Starscream''', is completely awesome. You pin-headed, addle-pated morons haven't even got the tiniest inkling of what a grand and glorious robot this [[Starscream clone (Animated)|Starscream clone]] is. When it comes to Decepticons who are the best of everything, nobody can top this clone, and it comes as no surprise that you would doubt such a simple fact. His brilliance does tend to blind lesser beings... that is to say, everyone else ever.
Even that inferior template, the [[Starscream (Animated)|original Starscream]], cannot comprehend his majesty, mistaking his obvious superiority for simply being a pain in the crankcase.

Thundercracker quickly asserted his self-image in discussions with the other clones. When Starscream began his speech to lead them into battle, Thundercracker had the bearings to shove Starscream aside and lead the charge to Earth himself. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}

Some would think he wasn't as hot as he knew he was, as [[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]] effortlessly encased him in a gloopy mess early in the battle for the [[space bridge]]. As Thundercracker tried to break free, he caromed into [[Skywarp (Animated)|Skywarp]] and [[Blurr (Animated)|Blurr]], and all three were hurled into the space bridge, to an unknown destination. However, any discerning being would realize that this was all just part of Thundercracker's secret plan. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}

This plan came to fruition shortly afterwards, when the inferior Autobot humbly suggested that Thundercracker use his incredible sonic powers to free them from the glue. As soon as he had done so, Blurr tried to make his escape; Thundercracker flew after him, but Blurr jumped off his face as he vaulted himself into space. He meant to do that. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

Thundercracker boldly arrived at the forefront of the [[Starscream clone (Animated)|Clone Army]] attack on the Decepticon [[Space Bridge]]. His unmatched skill proved a mighty challenge for [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]], who were forced to team up just to fight back. {{storylink|The Cool issue 7|The Cool #7}}

*'''Thundercracker''' (Activator, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TA-24'''
: Part of the third wave of [[Activators]], Thundercracker is a [[redeco]] of [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]], transforming into a futuristic, forward-swept wing fighter jet based upon the [http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/s37/ Su-47 (S-37) Berkut Experimental Fighter] and the [http://www.new-un-spacy.com/macrossplus/yf-19.htm YF-19 "Alpha One] from the series ''[[Wikipedia:Macross_Plus|Macross Plus]].'' Like all Activators, he has a spring-loaded [[Autotransform|autotransformation]] from vehicle to robot mode. The actual toy is closer to violet-purple than the production photos make him out to be, and the overall colour scheme is not very close to the animation model. However, it's STILL vastly superior to any other toy in the Activators line.
:This mold was also used to make [[Dirge (Animated)|Dirge]], but Dirge's toy isn't ''near'' as worthy to be bought as Thundercracker's is.

: You fools honestly didn't expect Thundercracker's superior form to be made into a toy? Shame on you! Of course, he is a (vastly superior) [[redeco]] of his inferior template, [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]], and his fellow (and even more inferior) clones, that worthless coward [[Skywarp (Animated)|Skywarp]] and that two-bit suck-up [[Sunstorm (Animated)|Sunstorm]].

: A redeco of Legends Starscream in translucent blue plastic (with some opaque blue parts). He was available from select Ishimaru, Eiden, Deodeo, Bic Camera, Midori Electrical and Yodobashi Camera stores with toy sections in Japan, given away for free to customers who purchased ''Animated'' merchandise totaling at least 3,000 yen on [[July 24]]th.

==Notes==
* Thundercracker is never named as such in the cartoon. He is simply referred to as "an egomaniac" by the female Starscream, and none of the male clones are given separate listings from Starscream in the voice credits. The scripts and animation model sheets simply refer to him as "Egomaniac Starscream". The toy was first to give him a name, and it was later reinforced by the ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac|AllSpark Almanac]]''.

:''The Omnicons are an [[Autobot]] subgroup in the ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

The '''Omnicons''' are [[Transformer]]s, larger than [[Mini-Con]]s but still fairly small, that have the ability to handle and process raw [[Energon (Energon)|energon]]. They can convert this substance into useful tools and weapons, or into [[Energon star]]s.

The known Omnicons are

* [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]]
* [[Offshoot (Energon)|Offshoot]]
* [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]]
* [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]]
* [[Signal Flare (Energon)|Signal Flare]]
* [[#Attacktix|Omnicon]]

==Fiction==
===''Energon'' cartoon continuity===
There are hundreds of identical Omnicons, and large squads of them with identical body types are very common. However, they are not drones, but individuals with full capabilities for independent thought. They are led by Arcee, who has a unique bodyframe among the Omnicons.

===Dreamwave ''Energon'' comics continuity===
The Omnicons came about during " a time of expansion" on Cybertron, in the wake of Unicron and Megatron's defeat. They had "underdeveloped" social skills according to [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], along with a tendency to preface anything they said with "CRZ" or "ZRT" or something.

** [[Offshoot (Energon)|Offshoot]] (redeco of Signal Flare)

:The Omnicons, along with their counterparts the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]], were sold carded, and filled the $7 price point previously filled by the [[Mini-Con|Mini-Cons]] in ''Armada''. They transform into futuristic/fanciful Earthen vehicles. Each comes with a translucent colored "Energon weapon", which can be combined and assembled in multiple configurations. The Omnicons and Terrorcons marked the return of the Basic [[Size class|size class]] in practice if not in name, which had not been part of the ''Armada'' toyline.

: Part of the first Transformers ''[[Attacktix]]'' assortment, Omnicon is a "generic" figure based on the [[Signal Flare (Energon)|Signal Flare]]/[[Offshoot (Energon)|Offshoot]] body design, in mainly black and bronze. Omnicon has 4 points of articulation; waist, head and shoulders. While he is a small-based figure he is capable of creating an effective defensive tripod -- that is, supporting himself with his missile-launching arm.

:Omnicon's special power allows you to make an extra attack on your next turn if you have an Autobot figure in play.
