	: Late in the run, the "mood ring" styled rubsigns were replaced with new rubsigns that revealed full-color Fire/Wood/Water images on black backdrops. (These rubsign variants also happened at the same time in the Hasbro ''Battle Beast'' version of the line.)

			* As he was not sold in the post-''Transformers'' sequel series and thus had no bio card, his "RPG"-era bio comes from the ''[[Hero Special 4: Beastformers]]'' book. This bio gives him the nickname "'''Thunder'''" (サンダー ''Sandā''), and notes he was born in the city of Stoll.

	'''Wildthunder''' (ワイルドサンダー ''Wairudosandā''), or '''Thunder''' (サンダー ''Sandā'') for short, is one of the many Beastformers who joined [[White Leo]]'s resistance forces as [[Galvatron (G1)\|Galvatron]]'s [[Decepticon]]s began to conquer the formerly-peaceful planet [[Beast (planet)\|Beast]] with their army of cold-blooded insurgents. His role in the [[Autobot]]-allied Beastformer forces is land attack warrior. He also holds the rank of Emperor of [[Stoll]], under King [[Elephan]], and was born in the city of [[Stoll (city)\|Stoll]]. While he's got sharp instincts and is quick to notice when something is wrong, he is also scatterbrained and impulsive, a bad combination that often sees him jumping to conclusions and acting without fully understanding the situation. He gets along well with Elephan, who empathizes with his faults and helps him overcome them, and together they make a mighty team. Wildthunder's [[MVP Weapon]] is the Thunder Bar, which can incapacitate machines by emitting a high-voltage current from its tip.

	: Re-released in the ''Transformers''-less ''Beastformers'' sequel series, Wildthunder was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card with corrected coloring.

	: ~~The initial early~~ releases ~~of this series had~~ the chance for ~~any Beastformer~~ to ~~have the~~ rare Burstsun ~~symbol; we'll probably never know if Wildthunder was ever actually one~~ of ~~them~~. ~~Later~~ in the run, the "mood ring" styled rubsigns were replaced with new rubsigns that revealed full-color Fire/Wood/Water images on black backdrops. (These rubsign variants also happened at the same time in the Hasbro ''Battle Beast'' version of the line.)		: He was sold in two similar-but-different styles of boxes. One wholly-generic version, sold in large display boxes like the ''Transformers'' releases, advertised the chance for the included bio card to instead be a rare holofoil card of [[White Leo]] with a "Burstsun" rubsign in a baggie taped to the back, so you could apply it to the Beastformer of your choice. The more common version has a slightly different box with a peg-hole in the top flap, and has a sticker on the bottom with his name and role on it.

	: This stumpy lil fellow could be found in red, blue or green plastic, representing the Fire, Water and Wood elements (even though he still had a rubsign). All of the Meji Beastformers comes with a ''different'' Beastformer's weapon attached to their shoulder by a snippable sprue, common for inexpensive toys of that nature. However, we do not currently know which weapon Wildthunder came with, or who came with his weapon.		{{Canceledtoy}}
