Not much is known about '''Chromia''', beyond the fact that she has a good number in the "Bomb" characteristic and that she sometimes looks like a blue [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]].

==Notes==
*In a fun coincidence, Chromia appeared on both sides of the Pacific around the same time, showing up as an illustration on the [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] menu in ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2]]'' and as card #A-007 in [[TakaraTomy]]'s line of [[Transformers Cards]].

:''Thunderwing is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Thunderwingboxart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|It's some gooood box-art that makes his teeny inner robot look not-crappy.]]
'''Thunderwing''' strikes a delicate balance between calm composure and explosive rage. This rage is backed by an immensely powerful form, and he will not flinch at using this raw power when simple deceit and treachery fail him. His power is amplified further by his impressive [[Pretender]] shell, which is a virtually indestructible arsenal of weaponry.

Despite his position within the Decepticon ranks, Thunderwing wants to be admired and respected by his subordinates, but all too often he can be caught in a consuming obsession that leads him down the irreversible path of darkness. This capacity for obsession is both his strength and weakness, and his blindness to this fault both propels him to greatness and to tragedy. If he becomes at all aware of what horrors he's done, it's usually too late, and he's brought everything he holds dear to the brink of destruction.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}

A handful of Transformers are born with a natural affinity to the [[Creation Matrix]]. Though these special few are usually Autobots, Thunderwing was an exception. Thunderwing felt that the Matrix called to him, and believed that he would become the first Decepticon to possess it. {{storylink|Deadly Obsession}}

''Early on in the war, he served at [[Fort Scyk]]. He became a protege of Fort commander [[Megadeath]], who saw and encouraged the burning ambition within the lad, grooming Thunderwing as an asset and potential general for when he'd make a bid for leadership. For his part, Thunderwing thought Megadeath was utterly mental but also that he'd be his ticket to the top. He later soured on Megadeath when he viciously tortured the [[Magnificent Six]], which Thunderwing felt was ill-fitting for such valiant enemies, and then Megadeath let himself and the whole of [[Stanix]] get nuked to slag ''anyway''.'' {{storylink|The Magnificent Six!}}

[[Image:Thunderwingisapretender.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Thunderwing is a Pretender? The hell you say!]]
''Four million years later, with a vacuum in Decepticon high command, a driven Thunderwing rose quickly from relative obscurity to a command position in the ranks. He made a bid for full leadership of the Decepticons to the [[Decepticon High Council|High Council]], and they decided to test him with a hunting mission: Three Autobot prisoners were released on Earth, and Thunderwing was charged with chasing down and executing them on his own. While [[Playback]] and [[Horsepower]] did fall before his cyclone cannon, the last runner, [[Hosehead]], was saved by his fellow Autobots [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] and [[Siren]]. The [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] exploded the fuel core in Playback's corpse at close range to Thunderwing, nearly cooking him alive inside his own impenetrable [[Pretender]] shell. Shrieking in agony, Thunderwing plunged into the nearby surf. {{storylink|The Big Shutdown!}}''

''Thunderwing eventually rose from the waters, his still-cooling shell juxtaposed with the growing intensity of his rage at being beaten. Thunderwing lashed out at everything around him and very nearly destroyed a ship of his fellow Decepticons who had been sent to find him. As a duly appointed officer of the Decepticon High Council, [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] was sent to inform Thunderwing that his bid for leadership was not being rejected outright, but was still under review, and the Councilors had asked that he return to Cybertron. Instead, Thunderwing violently conscripted Ruckus and his team into joining him for an assault on the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] in order to get revenge on Hosehead and his ilk. {{storylink|Rage!}} Thunderwing single-handedly blasted his way into the Ark and confronted [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] directly before Ruckus convinced him to save the fight for another day. Returning to Cybertron, Thunderwing was surprised to learn that the Decepticon High Council was impressed by his initiative and the strength of his vendetta, and so granted him full leadership of the Decepticons of Cybertron. {{storylink|Assault on the Ark!}}''

''One of Thunderwing's first actions on taking over Decepticon leadership was to abolish neutral territories, making places such as [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] Decepticon-only establishments. {{storylink|Out to Lunch!}}'' Despite these movements, Lord Thunderwing became displeased with the growing success of the newly-rebuilt [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and their raiding of Decepticon fuel depositories. Fearing the Autobot resistance movement was gaining momentum, he ordered [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], [[Octopunch]] and [[Stranglehold]], the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]], to find and kill the Autobot Pretenders. {{storylink|Yesterday's Heroes!}}

[[Image:Thunderwingmindleech.jpg|right|250px|thumb|This is probably the closest look we'll get at Thunderwing's unpublished character model. [[José Delbo]] was a copier.]]
When the Mayhem Attack Squad failed, Thunderwing became curious when teams of Autobots were subsequently ordered to search an area of space. Trailing a team on [[Pz-Zazz]] which included ''(again)'' Nightbeat, Hosehead, and Siren, he waited until the right moment to blast and capture them. {{storylink|Bird of Prey!}} As Thunderwing's Decepticons began trailing another team of Autobots on [[Cheyne]] ([[Backstreet]], [[Dogfight]], and [[Override (G1)|Override]]), he subjected the captured first group to his [[Mind Leech]] machine. He learned from these torture sessions that the Autobots were scouring the universe for the lost Creation Matrix. Unfortunately, the second group was no closer to finding the Matrix either, and he left them to their own devices. {{storylink|Kings of the Wild Frontier}} His obsession with finding the Creation Matrix caused some concerns for the Decepticons under his command, and he even began attacking his own troops when accused of taking his personal quest too far. These outbursts began coming to a head when he found traces of Matrix energy in a [[Klud|sea monster]] on [[Pequod]]. Ruckus made the mistake of questioning his leader's growing obsession, and Thunderwing backhanded him into some equipment (unknowingly shorting out the Mind Leech which held their captive Autobots immobile). While his troops battled the Autobots searching there, he used his affinity for the Matrix to mind-link with the sea monster. Discovering that the Matrix was on [[Cameron]]'s third moon, [[VsQs]], he abandoned the battle, much to the growing frustration of his troops. {{storylink|Deadly Obsession}}

[[Image:Thunderwingwhereisthecreationmatrix.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Obsessed much?]]
As it happened, between the revival of the Klud and the arrival of Thunderwing, the Creation Matrix had become warped. Thunderwing fought intensely with Bumblebee, Jazz, and Grimlock on VsQs, and they were overwhelmed not only by his vastly superior might, but by the strength of his desire to possess the Matrix. However, he and his troops were subdued by a [[Matrix Spawn]], a darkly-evolved creature contaminated by the Matrix, allowing Bumblebee and the other Autobots to grab the Matrix and head for their ship. But when the Autobot shuttlecraft later arrived within the Ark, it was Thunderwing who emerged, in full possession of the Creation Matrix, enshrouded in its energies. {{storylink|Dark Creation}}

[[Image:Thunderwing with matrix.jpg|right|200px|thumb|I HAVE THE POWER!]]
On board the Ark, Thunderwing savagely beat Optimus Prime, the latter of whom was afraid to return the violence in kind, in fear that the Matrix would be destroyed and their race would be doomed against Unicron. Waves of Autobots stormed against Thunderwing, ending in [[Landmine (G1)|Landmine]] and others being killed or critically wounded. Quickly, the increasingly-evil Matrix took over Thunderwing, overpowering his thoughts and controlling his actions. After turning his power on his own troops, he had one final moment of clarity at what he had become, but it was too late. He was consumed. Nightbeat, Siren, and Hosehead, who Thunderwing had captured earlier, had escaped their constraints, and after releasing the bay doors, Thunderwing was harpooned to the shuttlecraft. The shuttle self-destructed and Thunderwing and the Creation Matrix were seemingly lost. {{storylink|All Fall Down (issue)|All Fall Down}}

[[Image:G1thunderwingthevoid.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Thunderwing displays that, yes, he has an alt mode just before showing up to die again.]]
The Matrix, however, was made of sterner stuff, and after some time reactivated alongside Thunderwing's body and the Autobot shuttlecraft on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. {{storylink|Out of Time!}} As time passed, and though only the "barest [[spark]] remained," it healed Thunderwing's body, eventually allowing it to transform and escape the Moon. It (they) now hungered for revenge! {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}}

Thunderwing, completely controlled by the Creation Matrix, arrived on Cybertron just as Unicron had attacked. Through Thunderwing, the Matrix continued to manifest as a frightening demon, which blasted Unicron and buried its tendrils within him. Though Unicron was momentarily stunned, once the Matrix revealed that it was now attempting to be a force of Evil, Unicron ripped the manifestation apart. Unicron has no equal in the arena of evil. Thunderwing's body fell in tatters, and the Matrix casing dropped to the planet below. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

[[Image:Thunderwingg1worldscollide.jpg|left|150px|thumb|They weren't even trying to color me right!]]
Versions of Thunderwing, [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], and [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] from various devoured universes were sent by their master, [[Unicron]], to prepare another universe for his coming. Porting into [[Decepticon Command Headquarters]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Galvatron left Thunderwing and the others on Cybertron to accomplish their task. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4|Worlds Collide, Part 1}} Though they destroyed all of the Decepticons in their headquarters and established a network of [[space bridge]] portals, this universe's [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] was not amongst their victims. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4|Worlds Collide, Part 2}}

Traveling to Earth's Decepticon headquarters (but leaving Bludgeon behind on Cybertron to guard the portal), they found it momentarily abandoned, so Thunderwing suggested they hunt down this universe's [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] to learn Megatron's location. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 3 of 4|Worlds Collide, Part 3}} However, Thrust knew nothing, and they quickly returned to Decepticon Earth headquarters when Thunderwing detected that their space bridge nexus on Cybertron had been breached. Ultimately, Thunderwing and the other servants of Unicron were destroyed when this universe's [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] detonated a bomb in Cybertron's Decepticon Command Headquarters, incinerating them all. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 4 of 4|Worlds Collide, Part 4}}

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Image:Thunderwingwhathaveyoudone.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Moral of Stormbringer: Pretenders [[Ruined Forever| ruined Transformers]].]]

Seven hundred years ago, during the height of the Autobot-Decepticon war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Thunderwing was a Decepticon scientist who alerted both sides to the damage that the ongoing conflict was doing to their planet and the resultant danger of an impending catastrophic event. According to [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], his warnings were ignored, even by [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]].

[[Image:Thunderwing stormbringer.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Y'know, Thunderwing, Al Gore was content with just making a slide show.]]
Subsequently, Thunderwing took action on his own, subjecting himself to a "polydermal grafting" process of his own design, one that had previously been summarily rejected by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] as "unnatural" and "ill-conceived". This process of grafting tissue culled from living subjects onto a Transformer to create an armored symbiotic carapace somehow also appears to have made him the avatar of the very apocalypse he had warned against. The process drove Thunderwing insane but made him invulnerable; even the combined might of the Autobots and Decepticons couldn't stop him. In the end, he was swallowed whole by Cybertron itself, leaving the planet completely uninhabitable. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 1}}

When [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] went missing, Megatron assigned Bludgeon to dig into his research and find out what he'd been doing. An indeterminate time later, Thunderwing's resting place was discovered by a group of Decepticons led by Bludgeon, who planned to continue where Thunderwing left off. {{storylink|Spotlight: Soundwave}} The project was completed in the present day, using a combination of "[[Ultra-Energon]]" (culled from Shockwave's research) and a set of imprinted commands. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2}} Thunderwing was thus resurrected and immediately departed for [[Nebulos]], following Bludgeon's plans to sacrifice that world to restore Cybertron somehow. There, Thunderwing was engaged by the Decepticon Infiltration team in place, which did not want to see Nebulos completely destroyed. After Thunderwing totaled [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]], [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]], [[Skullcruncher]], and [[Roadgrabber]], the survivors, [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]], [[Darkwing]], and [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], abandoned the planet, leaving Thunderwing alone. However, after the destruction of Bludgeon's control harness, Thunderwing changed course—back towards Cybertron. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 3}}

[[Image:Thunderwingidwultramode.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Ultra mode" puts all that wing kibble to use!]]
There, he was attacked by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]], the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]], and reprogrammed [[Centurion droid|Centurion drones]]. Jetfire revealed that enough punishment would eventually cause Thunderwing to drain most of his [[Energon (fuel)|Energon]] reserves. However, Thunderwing revealed a third "[[Super Mode|Ultra]]" robot configuration. Thanks to the Wreckers, the Decepticons, the instability of Ultra Energon, and a speech/salvo combination from Optimus Prime, he was stopped dead in his tracks. His inanimate form was taken into custody by the [[Autobot|Autobots]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4}}

[[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] would later steal Thunderwing's body from [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]'s detail of Autobots, in service of [[Nova Prime|his master]] in the [[Dead Universe]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Galvatron}} Since the Dead Universe Transformers can only spend a limited amount of time in the land of the living, they programmed Thunderwing to guard the cave entrance to the [[Nega-Core]] on planet [[Corata-Vaz]]. He easily batted away Hound's crew and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], but did not pursue them, as his programming seemed to keep him on a leash that only includes the cave entrance. It did, however, allow [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] the time he needed to escape. {{storylink|Spotlight: Cyclonus}}

The [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] later attempted to penetrate Thunderwing's defenses and reach the Nega-Core, but apparently had no more success than Ultra Magnus and company. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}

Jetfire came up with the idea to try and take control of Thunderwing using Bludgeon's (apparently repaired) control harness. This alerted [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], who activated Bludgeon (now under his control) to put a stop to it. {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}}

While Jetfire managed to halt Thunderwing in his tracks for a brief time, a visit from the Jhiaxus-controlled Bludgeon forced Jetfire to focus on other, more pressing issues. While the Wreckers were successful in disabling the Nega-Core, Thunderwing once again began to advance on them. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

{{Note|Due to the truncated nature of the [[Revelation (IDW)|Revelation]] mini-series, the end result of this battle was not shown, but as all of the Wreckers appeared later on, Thunderwing was presumably disabled along with the other guardians when Jhiaxus was defeated.}}

[[Image:G1Thunderwing toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|You passed this up when you saw it in the stores. Then Furman had to come along.]]
:Thunderwing's inner robot transforms into a rather simple Cybertronic shuttlecraft. His [[Pretender]] shell also transforms into a starship mode of its own. The inner vehicle can be attached underneath the nose of the larger vehicle to create a combined starship mode. The inner robot is relatively generic in appearance (as with most Pretenders) while his outer Pretender shell resembles an alien warrior with Japanese [[wikipedia:Oni_(folklore)|Oni]] influences. The inner robot carries a small laser, while the shell is armed with two large blasters. All three of his guns can be mounted on his shell's vehicle mode. The large laser cannons can be mounted on the jet two different ways, either perpendicular or parallel to the wing undersides.

:Unlike fellow Mega Pretenders [[Crossblades (G1)|Crossblades]] or [[Vroom]], parts do not need to be removed and rearranged in order for Thunderwing to achieve any of his modes.

: This mold was [[Retool|retooled]] to make [[Black Shadow]].

{{comingsoontoy}}
{{-}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Thunderwingisdeath.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Like that cannon he always carries around? Too bad, the toy ain't got it.]]
* Thunderwing only transformed out of his humanoid shell mode once in the entire United States run of the Marvel Comics series. Even then, it was into his non-combined shell-only jet mode, leaving no hint that he had a inner robot mode at all. The only time we see his inner robot mode is in his first appearance, the Marvel United Kingdom story, "[[The Big Shutdown!]]".

* Thunderwing's Marvel Comics appearances give him a four-barreled hand weapon that's completely fabricated, as it's not based on any of the toy's three guns. As with the melee weapons [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], [[Stranglehold]], and [[Octopunch]] use in the comic, his four-barreled cannon likely originated from his unpublished [[character model]].

* A phenomenon [[Straxus (G1)|seen]] [[Circuit Breaker|often]] in the Marvel United States material, Thunderwing suffered from color scheme shift. At first, he appears in colors that approximate his toy's layout as best as the printing process allowed. By the time he makes his biggest, most memorable appearances, much of his blacks, grays, and blues had been replaced by light greens.

[[Image:Thunderwingg1catalog.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Early Thunderwing was faaaabulous!]]
*Hasbro photography of Thunderwing shows some plastic color differences from the final product. His shell's arms are the same purple as his guns instead of gray, and his inner robot's thighs are that purple as well, instead of the final toy's black. Black paint is applied to the shell's thighs differently, and the inner robot's forearms seem to be painted light gray. Additionally, the smaller robot is incapable of toting either of the larger guns in jet mode, as the peghole isn't large enough.

*Speaking of pegholes, both of Thunderwing's large guns have [[5mm post]]s with holes in the center that can function very much like [[Powerlinx|Powerlinxable]] pegs, which means one can store [[Mini-Con|Mini-Cons]] on them, if one so desires.

*Fitting with [[Don Figueroa]]'s method of making all of his robot designs able to be easily turned into toys, IDW Thunderwing's Ultra Mode is telegraphed by his kibble. An image in the Stormbringer Trade's sketch section shows exactly how he transforms into it.

:''Razorclaw is a former [[Maximal]] from an alternate [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]] who became a [[Minion of Unicron]] in the [[Universe war]].''

[[Image:Razorclawtfu.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Know that he is '''Razorclaw'''.]]
Know that he is '''Razorclaw''', that his reality is not yours, and while he may resemble [[Tigerhawk]], Razorclaw is not he! This alternate version of Tigerhawk was corrupted by the [[Vok]], and he killed his universe's [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]. [[Unicron]], his body ruined and trapped between dimensions, abducted Razorclaw to be his fourth and final general.

Razorclaw has served his new master well, pillaging star systems with all of his Vok-enhanced elemental powers. These powers are further fueled by Razorclaw's short temper and deadly rage. The other generals tread lightly in his presence, as they are afraid that they may randomly enrage him. And, well, when you're led by a godlike warrior who can summon earthquakes, electrical storms, and tsunamis, you really don't want to get on his bad side. Friend and foe fear his arsenal of weaponry, which includes titanium-reinforced claws and a paralyzing ion diminisher. All these and more are utilized by a Vok-enhanced intelligence that knows few equals.

He harbors a special hatred for [[Optimus Primal]], his former commander, whose ideals represent everything that Razorclaw has left behind. Other than his short temper, his only real weakness is his binary [[spark]]. It consists of the sparks of his home universe's [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] and [[Tigatron]], and their noble influence can confuse Razorclaw in times of stress. Time will tell if this influence can push itself fully to the surface. <ref>Information taken from Razorclaw's [[Hasbro]].com [[bio]] and the profile published in [[Abduction|''Transformers Universe'' #1]]</ref>

[[Image:UniverseCDrom-Decepticons.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Please know that my name is Razorclaw. Because, well, here they don't bother to tell you.]]
On an alternate [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], that universe's Optimus Primal was leading the Autobots [[Snarl (BM)|Snarl]], [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]], and [[Striker]] against Razorclaw, [[Reptillion]] {{sic}}, [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]], [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]], and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] in the most intense day of fighting that year. Just as the combatants were really beating the slag out of each other, they were interrupted by a mysterious spaceship that swooped down, sucked the [[Decepticon]]s up on beams of light, and flew away. None of the combatants realized that it was taking its captives to Unicron for use in a massive army. {{storylink|Universe CD-ROM}}

{{note|This comic shows no signs of being intended to mesh with other ''Universe'' fiction. There are inconsistencies in many of its elements, but given that ''Universe'' is entirely ABOUT alternate dimensions, it could still be a side note to the [[Universe war|greater storyline]]. Razorclaw is one of the [[Obsidian (BM)|few]] [[Tankor (BM)|characters]] who could conceivably be the same ones who show up in the [[Universe (2003 comic)|main ''Universe'' comic'']]'', but it is up to the reader to decide if that's the case.}}

===''Universe'' comic===
[[Image:KnowthatIamRazorclaw.jpg|left|300px|thumb|"You know it, I know it, and the American people know it."]]

After [[Unicron]] poached the Vok-corrupted Razorclaw from his home dimension, he put him in charge of his other three generals: [[Reptilion]], [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]], and [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]]. He immediately put his elemental powers to use, pillaging nearby star systems to glorify his fallen master.

But Unicron required something more. The Chaos Bringer needed to feed off the sparks of fallen Transformers to fully regain his strength. To these purposes, Razorclaw oversaw the [[Cauldron]], along with the other generals. Here, Transformers from across the multiverse were abducted into this sub-Unicron dimension, where they fought each other gladiator-style inside an arena. When one Transformer fell, its extinguished spark was consumed by Unicron, bringing him ever-closer to complete reactivation.

This continued for a time, until one particular party of multidimensional abductees was paraded before him. One of its members, the Maximal [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]], recognized him as Tigerhawk. Razorclaw confirmed the familiarity and explained who he was and why they were here. {{storylink|Abduction}}

[[Image:ThenameisRazorclaw.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Ask me again and I'll tell you the same."]]

While other members of that party, [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], were forced to battle in the arena, Razorclaw spotted an intruder in their midsts. [[Optimus Primal]], plucked from death by [[Primus]] Himself! Razorclaw tackled the resurrected gorilla, laughing. Was this the best opponent Primus could muster? Though Primal mistook him for Tigerhawk at first, Razorclaw quickly corrected him. After working himself free, Primal grabbed the energy weapons that Sideswipe and Sunstreaker had been given and used them against the general. This only angered Razorclaw, but unfortunately for him, his Vok-powered attacks were merely fuel for Primal's body, and after a few more attacks, Razorclaw was temporarily subdued.

All of the prisoners contained within the Cauldron were released, and though Razorclaw and his lieutenants pursued them, Primal led nearly all of them to safety. Only [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] and [[Shadow Striker (Universe)|Shadow Striker]] stayed behind, seduced by Unicron's influence. {{storylink|Escape (issue)|Escape}}

[[Image:Razorclawrevelations.jpg|left|150px|thumb|"How many Mini-Cons must I destroy before my name is known?"]]

An undetermined time later, Razorclaw was a combatant during the final battle between the [[Children of Primus]] and the Minions of Unicron within the Chaos-Bringer's body. Razorclaw flew through the skies, where he blew up [[Gunbarrel (Armada)|Gunbarrel]] (apparently) and another [[Mini-Con]]. This battle ended prematurely as Unicron himself vanished beneath them, somehow due to the [[Unicron Singularity]]. Optimus Primal and his warriors were able to escape through a dimensional portal to their home dimensions, but Razorclaw's ultimate fate is unknown. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}}

* '''Razorclaw''' (Ultra, 2003)
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles, 2 feather-missiles

:Razorclaw is a dark gray and purple [[redeco]] and slight [[retool]] of [[Tigerhawk]], transforming into a winged mechanical/organic tiger with a bird-helmeted "attack mode. In attack mode, he is armed with "feather" missiles very similar to the Fuzor [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]'s, with spring-loaded switches to flip the wings forward, and flip-out missile launchers which activate when a lever on Razorclaw's back is pulled (which also moves the wings). A bird helmet that is usually hidden mostly behind the tiger head is deployed in this mode. (The normal beast mode points these missiles backwards and uses the normal tiger head.) Under his beast head is a small cockpit with an empty pilot's chair, a vestigial remnant of his aborted "third mode."

: Razorclaw's hind leg talons are also spring-loaded to snap closed when the palms are depressed. His beast mode tiger head has an articulated jaw and an articulated tongue! The flip-out missile launchers can be removed and pegged into the top and bottom of Razorclaw's left fist pegholes.

:His feather-missile launcher mechanisms were slightly [[Retool|retooled]] from the original version of the toy. Though his toy is a [[Decepticon]] by allegiance, it keeps its sculpted Maximal logo.
