Thrash is a Terran from the EarthSpark continuity family.
Even if I'm not who I'm supposed to be... I like who I am right now.

Adopted by the Malto family, Thrash Malto is a Terran, one of the first of a new generation of Transformers born on Earth. Closest to Mo, the two of them are fast friends, goofing off and playing games together. Thrash would do anything for her, and even his motorcycle-and-sidecar alternate mode was inspired by her old bike. While his connection is strongest with Mo, the siblings' emotions are all connected through the mysterious cyber-sleeves.

While fun-loving and carefree may be positive traits much of the time, they are also Thrash's greatest flaws. He's easily bored, hates rules, and has a tendency to end up doing the opposite of what he's told. He means well, but it can leave his newfound family frustrated and picking up the pieces of the mess he's inadvertently created.

Thrash and Twitch were created in a cave on Earth when Robby and Mo Malto came into contact with the Emberstone. After an attack by Arachnamechs, the two kids smuggled the newborns home where they had their father Alex explain the history of the Transformers so Thrash and Twitch could overhear. Secret Legacy, Part 1 While playing in the forest, Twitch gained an alternate mode, inspiring Thrash to go with Mo in search of something to take as his own alternate mode. Their search was initially fruitless and the pair were attacked by an Arachnamech. They, joined by Twitch and Robby, were rescued by Optimus Prime and Elita-1. However the Autobot leader's attempt to have the two Terrans protected by G.H.O.S.T. resulted in them being captured by Mandroid. Another rescue was mounted, during which Thrash scanned a motorcycle alternate mode in the process of protecting Robby, Mo and Alex. Following the battle, Dot Malto opted to take them under her protection, with Optimus assigning Bumblebee as their tutor. Secret Legacy, Part 2

When Bumblebee attempted to begin training the Terrans, Thrash asserted that they didn't need the scout's help, only to find he couldn't transform. Bee went on to participate in Family Game Night with the Terrans and their adopted family, which resulted in Twitch storming out and accidentally releasing a herd of cows. With Bee's help, Thrash was able to transform and with Mo, rounded up the cows. Moo-ving In After Twitch and Thrash accidentally damaged the kitchen while fighting over a flag, Dot and Alex went over the house rules. Thrash chafed at being banned from the house, and after he and Mo were grounded for breaking the rules, he talked Mo into violating their grounding. The pair headed into town where they encountered Swindle, who talked them into helping him try to find Hardtop. Swindle inevitably showed his true colors, turning on Thrash and Mo when they refused to break into a G.H.O.S.T. truck, and once Dot and Bumblebee drove the Decepticon off, Thrash apologized for breaking the rules. House Rules

The Terrans and their kid partners paid a visit to Dot's ranger station work, but G.H.O.S.T. activity resulted in them having to try to keep a low profile, which ended up with them falling into a trap intended for Decepticons, at which point Thrash and Mo found out that Twitch and Robby had sneaked out the night before and encountered a G.H.O.S.T. patrol, which had caused their current situation. Optimus extracted them from the trap and hid them in his trailer in the G.H.O.S.T. base, only for them to venture out and become temporarily stuck in one of Megatron's training sims. They were able to complete the sim by working together, and Optimus later smuggled them out of the base. Classified Thrash and Twitch listened to Alex's story about the dreaded Wakwak. The following day, Thrash constructed a makeshift guitar and Mo taught him how to play it. While the pair were demonstrating Thrash's newfound musical skill to Dot and Alex, Twitch introduced them to Wheeljack. Traditions

The two Terrans found themselves increasingly experiencing malfunctions while training with Bumblebee, which they put down to emotional overflow from Robby and Mo, who were about to start their first day of school. After Bumblebee took the Terrans to school as a scouting mission, their emotional link caused the kids to experience motor control malfunctions as well, resulting in Robby telling them to go home. Twitch, however, slipped into a zombie-like state and Thrash followed her into the forest, until eventually he found he was too low on energy to continue. Bee and the kids found him, and Bee applied an energon patch after scanning him and finding his energon levels were low. Despite this, Thrash lapsed into the same zombie-like state as Twitch. After Twitch blasted the ground and sent the group plunging into a cave, the two Terrans became so low on energy they went into a form of stasis lock. Fortunately, as it turned out, the water in the cave was able to restore their energy completely. Friends and Family During another training session, Bumblebee turned teaching duties over to Arcee, who forced the Terrans and kids to do tasks until they rebelled. Arcee took the group into battle against Soundwave and they were successful in helping Bumblebee take down the three cassette-bots. Decoy

During a G.H.O.S.T. ceremony, Twitch and Thrash were forced to stay home with Bumblebee to maintain the secrecy of their existence. As a result, the pair were unable to help the Maltos when Skywarp and Nova Storm attacked G.H.O.S.T. Learning of the origins of the Terrans, Optimus decided it was time to investigate further and had the Terrans and kids lead him to the cave where Twitch and Thrash were originally born. Alex, Robby, Mo and the Terrans ventured inside and retrieved the Emberstone. However Skywarp and Nova Storm returned with Arachnamechs aiming to capture Optimus. Those small enough retreated underground, only to be followed by Mandroid's mechanical drones, and witnessed the birth of three new Terrans. Age of Evolution, Part 1

After successfully escaping the cave, the family regrouped with Optimus and Bumblebee to come up with a plan to rescue Dot and Megatron, who had been captured by Mandroid. The new Terrans posed as bounty hunters, bringing in Optimus, Twitch and Thrash as prisoners. Unfortunately Mandroid immediately saw through the scheme and unleashed his giant mech. Thrash rode in Optimus's vehicle mode, helping provide covering fire as the group took out the mech's external cameras. While Twitch destroyed the mech's cannon, Thrash used his shield to protect Robby, Mo and Jawbreaker. In the aftermath of the battle, the family was reunited with three new members. Age of Evolution, Part 2

With the arrival of the three new Terrans, Thrash tried to step up and be a mentor for his younger siblings. His attempts to get Nightshade interested in alt-modes went nowhere and Thrash found himself inadvertently recruited by Nightshade in helping build a new underground base for the Terrans to live in. Hashtag: Oops When Jawbreaker and Hashtag were filming a documentary asking others how they got their alt-modes, Thrash and Twitch were recruited by Hashtag to help act out a scene she had planned. Outtakes When the Decepticon scientist, Tarantulas, kidnapped Alex and Dot, Thrash arrived on scene to help rescue them shortly after Nightshade had taken care of the situation. Missed Connection

Thrash and Twitch came to blows when Twitch began feeling Thrash wasn't taken their training simulations seriously. The two, along with the rest of their siblings, then found themselves locked in the dugout for 10 hours thanks to security measures put in place by Nightshade and Hashtag. Unable to help their parents in helping Bumblebee avoid capture by G.H.O.S.T., Thrash and Twitch finally blew up at one another, though after Twitch revealed her fears over what would happen to her siblings if they were on a mission, Thrash apologized for realizing how much his carefree attitude put pressure on Twitch. When Dot and Alex returned and had to inform them that Bumblebee had to go on the run, Thrash confronted the devastated Twitch. Security Protocols

On Thrash's first Mother's Day celebrating Dot, Thrash and his siblings found themselves terrorized by a mother bear looking for her cub, who Twitch had kidnapped. When it was revealed the bear was mutated by some mysterious substance from G.H.O.S.T., Thrash helped take it down. Bear Necessities

When Megatron took the Malto children to Spacebridge Memorial Park to educate them on the history of the Autobot/Decepticon War, Thrash repeatedly questioned the Decepticon leader on why this was relevant to the Terrans. Going off his own for a bit, Thrash vented to Mo about what he felt was the unfair burden being placed on him and his Terran siblings of having to clean up the mistakes of the Autobots and Decepticons. He changed his view however when Mo told him Megatron was trying to teach them not to make the same mistakes he did. They found their night time history lesson interrupted by the return of long-dormant Decepticon, Shockwave. While Megatron battled it out with Shockwave, Thrash and Robby joined Nightshade in trying to cut off the power to the Spacebridge core that Shockwave had set to detonate. Warzone

When taken by Robby and Mo to Philadelphia for the first time, Thrash's good time at experiencing city-life took a sour turn when he, Jawbreaker, and Mo found themselves tricked into entering an underground Bot Brawl fighting ring, where they coincidentally ran into Bumblebee. When the mind-controlled Grimlock was revealed to be Bee and Jawbreaker's opponent, Thrash and Mo joined in to help. Working together the group were able to free Grimlock from his mind control, though they had to quickly depart as the Dinobot then went on a fire-breathing rampage, deciding to let him cool off. Reuniting with the rest of his siblings, Thrash eagerly volunteered to go back with Bumblebee to rescue Grimlock. Home, Part 1

However, the search for Grimlock soon turned into a battle with the returning Mandroid. After taking down one of Mandroid's newest Arachnamech creations, Thrash and the rest of their family found themselves having to fight their brained-controlled sister Hashtag. Hesitant at fighting their sister, the group found themmselves outmatched by her size and Wi-fi powers. They were all able free their her when they were empowered by a mysterious energy that originated back from the cave where the Terrans were born. With their sister freed, Thrash and the others raced back to Witwicky in hopes of getting home before their parents woke up. Home, Part 2

The kids encountered Grimlock while collecting flowers in the woods and had to flee back to the farm, where they eventually fought the Dinobot into submission. A Stygi Situation When Robby's cyber-sleeve manifested a new shield ability, Optimus smuggled the entire Malto family into G.H.O.S.T. HQ to have Teletraan-1 scan the devices. The kids were later training in the base's rec room when Mandroid took control of it, unleashing a holographic Megatron on them, and though Hashtag was able to shut it down, the fight resulted in Robby's cyber-sleeve becoming inactive and the emotional link between the kids was lost. Disarmed

While trying to reactivate the cyber-sleeves with the cave water that the Maltobots were using to energize, the kids stumbled on a cave system through which Starscream, Nova Storm and Skywarp were trying to escape. Things were complicated more when they encountered the energon-feeding Dweller, forcing them to try to enact a desperate plan to imprison it so it couldn't escape the caves. What Dwells Within Robby's cyber-sleeve began affecting his health, and Dot assured the other kids that they'd do all they could to help the boy get better — at which point Mo, believing this to be a lie, stormed out and Thrash had to go after her. He found her wishing she'd never touched the Emberstone. When she and the other human members of the Malto family lapsed into unconsciousness, the Maltobots took care of them until they recovered, having had an encounter with Quintus Prime that restored both Robby's health and the cyber-sleeves. Prime Time

When Bumblebee was tasked with infiltrating G.H.O.S.T. HQ, the kids resolved to help their mentor. To this end, once Twitch located the entrance to G.H.O.S.T., Nightshade, Thrash and Robby joined her in sneaking in. They bumped into Schloder and managed to persuade him to help them, leading them to find G.H.O.S.T. had taken possession of the space bridge. During the ensuing fight with Agent Croft's Ghoids, the group used the space bridge to escape to the outside. Stowed Away, Stowaways Pursued by a Mandroid-controlled Shockwave, the group headed into Witwicky where they were joined by the rest of the Malto kids and managed to take down the Decepticon, shortly before being surrounded by G.H.O.S.T. agents. With a timely intervention by their parents, they were able to escape back to the farm and revive Shockwave, only for Croft to arrive with an army of Ghoids. During the ensuing battle, the Maltos, with the help of the Autobots overcame the Ghoids, only for Croft to disable the Autobots with a Mandroid device, and then Mandroid himself, grotesquely enhanced into a new robotic form, arrived back through a portal. The Battle of Witwicky

The Malto family attempted to escape from Mandroid and his two Sharkticon henchmen, but during the flight, a missile resulted in Thrash, Hashtag and Jawbreaker plunging over a waterfall. The Last Hope, Part 1 The trio survived the fall and successfully tracked down Twitch and Nightshade who'd freed Bumblebee and Schloder from G.H.O.S.T. HQ., helping them overcome a Mandroid-controlled Optimus. While the others fought more controlled Autobots and the Sharkticons, Twitch and Thrash confronted Mandroid himself atop the spire he'd erected. Thrash found himself battling the mad scientist solo while Twitch was occupied dealing with Megatron, and eventually the two siblings triumphed, only for Mandroid to activate his superweapon. Thrash shielded Twitch from the device's energy, giving up his own life to save his sister. Fortunately Mo and Robby were able to use their cyber-sleeves to reverse the damage, reactivating the Transformers and reuniting the Malto family. The Last Hope, Part 2

In the year following, the Autobots and Malto family set about trying to collect the shards of the shattered Emberstone, leading to an incident in which a shard fell in water and created the Chaos Terran Aftermath. Thrash later took part in a diversionary operation to lure the Decepticons to the naval yard while a small team sneaked into the Decepticon base to steal the collection of shards there. Aftermath Mo talked a reluctant Thrash into exploring a cave, in which they found a Quintesson Executioner. It followed them home and the pair tried to conceal it from their parents, only for Alex to find out and realize it was hostile. They fled from the Quintesson until Mo was able to trap it back in the pod and launch it into space. In Ruins Thrash and the rest of the Maltos helped clear the old G.H.O.S.T. stuff out of the Autobot base, and at one point had to fight a number of reactivated Ghoids. Control Alt Delete

While attending a fair, Twitch, Thrash and Mo discovered that the Tent of Curiosities included an Embershard, but their attempts to secure it resulted in them coming into conflict with the Fairmaestro. During the chase, the four kids inadvertently cyber-synced for the first time, with the two Terrans forming a combined vehicle mode, allowing them to free Cosmos and stop the Fairmaestro. The Butterfly Effect They continued to experiment with cyber-syncing so that Wheeljack and Nightshade could study the phenomena. Togetherness

Following the creation of the Chaos Terran Spitfire, and as part of the Polyhex Protocol, the Malto family took part in an assault course to decide who would go on an Autobot mission. Thrash was eliminated while trying to traverse the tires. Spitfire Thrash and the others were able to mount some swift emergency repairs on Optimus's trailer when the Decepticons damaged it under Robby and Hashtag's watch. Dude, Where's My Trailer?

The Malto family held a celebration after they successfully collected the last Embershard. When Mo remembered she needed to complete her Witwicky history report, Thrash suggested the creepy ruins, but passed on actually going there. Witwicky, Part 1 Following the discovery of Terratronus and Starscream's plan to control the Titan, Thrash and Alex were left guarding the Embershard collection while the rest of the family joined the Autobots in an attack on the Decepticon base. Unfortunately the pair were ambushed by Spitfire who knocked out Thrash and took Alex and the Embershards. Thrash eventually came around, and picked up Robby at the Decepticon base before heading to Terratronus's spark chamber, where they were too late to stop Starscream. He and Hashtag were able to get Robby and Mo to a safe distance, where the two kids used their cyber-sleeves to trap Terratronus in a Chaos Dome. Witwicky, Part 2

The kids were reading Transformers comics when Robby complained about missing an issue. Mo had the idea to go into the Chaos Dome accompanied by Twitch and Bumblebee to find the comic in a store inside. During the adventure, Thrash and Mo were scandalized to discover Bumblebee had come along with the intent of freeing his friend Breakdown, but reluctantly played along and retrieved the comic. Breakdown inevitably betrayed them to the Cons but after Bumblebee beat him in a race, the Cons let the trio leave the dome peacefully. The Need for Read Thrash helped out organizing a movie night for Robbie and Izzy. The family ended up having to try to round up the Mole Bots which escaped the film thanks to Nightshade's hyper-reality film projector. Attack of the Drive-In Movie The Malto kids were lured into a trap by Fairmaestro, who had them take part in a series of tests which they failed solely due to Twitch helping everyone else. This resulted in Thrash being trapped as part of a ride with the other Terrans until they were able to escape and help Twitch overcome Fairmaestro. The Great Escape

When Prowl's ship crashed within the Chaos Dome, the kids joined Optimus's welcome party. Using their cyber-syncing ability, they were able to connect a line between the ship and Terratronus's helmet to allow the chaos lightning to recharge the ship for take off, though unfortunately it was hijacked by the Decepticons. No Soldier Left Behind The Malto kids took the Hypershuttle to a disused G.H.O.S.T. base in the Arctic for some snow fun. This ended when Megatron and Optimus, infected with Hate Plague, turned up and fought each other until it turned out cold was an effective cure. Fire and Ice Placed in charge of the investigation into the origins of the Hate Plague, Prowl drafted Robby and Thrash as deputies. Prowl perhaps regretted this decision as Thrash often went off on many tangents, though they did eventually discover the cause of the infection — Robby's girlfriend Izzy was actually a Quintesson shapeshifter who battled them until Prowl successfully trapped it. The Truth Is Out There

When the Quintessons arrived in a huge ship, the Autobots and Maltos assembled at the edge of the Chaos Dome to greet it. The Quintessons demanded Robby and Mo, destroying the Chaos Dome as a demonstration of their power, and as a result, the kids cyber-synced and flew up to the ship. Twitch and Thrash were dragged off by guards and slapped in a cell. Judgment Day, Part 1 Robby and Mo later broke them out and they cyber-synced so they could escape. They were shot down resulting in Twitch being gravely wounded, much to Thrash's distress. As part of a plan to keep the Quintessons busy, Thrash cyber-synced with Robby and Spitfire and attacked the Quintesson ship head on, giving Mo and the others the time to revive Terratronus and help the Titan destroy the ship. Afterwards Thrash was reunited with a healed Twitch. Judgment Day, Part 2

EarthSpark

[edit]
I dooon't waaAaAanna die, I just wanna riiide my mooootorcye. Cull. (Hasbro version)
  • Terran Thrash (Warrior, 2023)
  • TakaraTomy name: DX Terran Thrash (DXテランスラッシュ)
  • TakaraTomy ID Number: ESD-09
  • TakaraTomy release date: March 16, 2024
  • Accessories: Sidecar/shield-blaster
Released as part of the second wave of EarthSpark Warrior Class figures, Thrash is a simple Deluxe Class-sized figure that transforms from a robot into a motorcycle of made-up model with a sidecar.
Whew, I really needed that bath. (TakaraTomy version)
His sidecar transforms into a shield, albeit one that doesn't bear much resemblance to the show model, with the tire being the mounting point rather than the center of the shield front. It also has a flip-out scope and (non-firing) blaster barrel. The weapon mode is mounted via 5 mm post on the tire, which is locked into place with a peg in this mode to keep it still. It can also be stored on his robot back.
While Thrash's legs are designed so either one can be the front or back tire strut in cycle mode, putting his right leg as the rear tire means the sidecar will end up pointing backward.
The TakaraTomy version of the toy, released in the third wave of EarthSpark DX Series product, features a much more extensive, show-based paint deco. He uses a milky, almost translucent white plastic in place of Hasbro's silver. His stock photos (left) however show him with opaque white.


Vroom redeco in 3...2...
(Hasbro version)
  • Terran Thrash (Deluxe, 2024)
  • TakaraTomy name: DX Thrash Malto (DXスラッシュマルト)
  • TakaraTomy ID Number: ESD-11
  • TakaraTomy release date: June 29, 2024
  • Accessories: Blaster, shield
Released in the fifth wave of Hasbro's EarthSpark Deluxe Class figures, this Thrash is a more articulated version of the character with higher complexity than the Warrior Class figure. However, his knees are more limited, only bending about 45 degrees. He trades his full sidecar for a faux one permanently in its show-model shield mode, with one corner removed for clearance with his left shoulder. It attaches to his back in robot mode and to the back of his motorcycle mode for storage. He also includes a small blaster he can hold or mount on his shield. Undocumented, the blaster can also plug into the bottom of his shield to form the otherwise missing bottom point, but this interferes with storage. This figure has a generally more accurate color scheme than the above Warrior figure; it gets the shiny white and bronze but changes his dark teal to bright turquoise.
(TakaraTomy version)
This is the first toy to sport the Terran insignia introduced in "The Last Hope, Part 2". This wave of Deluxes was also the first to drop the "Build a Figure" parts from the toys. Thrash was also re-released in Wave 8 with updated packaging.
The TakaraTomy version of the toy was released in the fourth wave of EarthSpark DX Series (which mixes Hasbro's Warrior and Deluxe class toys into a single assortment) as "DX Thrash Malto" to differentiate itself further from the prior Thrash toy. Just as with the Warrior, this release has more extensive and show-accurate paint applications than its Hasbro counterpart, including the pair of "Terran" faction symbols on his shoulders that the Hasbro version lacks.


  • Terran Thrash (1-Step Smash Changer, 2025)
Part of the first wave of "1-Step Smash Changers", Terran Thrash converts from a motorcycle into an unarticulated robot in one step, triggered by holding the fins at the rear of his vehicle mode and smashing him against a surface (or just press down on the fins if you're boring). The toy is reset by pulling his body back down. Thrash's rear wheel sometimes causes him to tip backwards instead of transforming. He sports the same inaccurate deco as the Warrior figure.


Notes

[edit]
  • Thrash's more carefree and rebellious characterization of Season 1 radically changed into a more cautious and neurotic character come Season 2 without much of an in universe explanation.

Foreign names
