Between his lightning whip and his electricity-firing thunderbolt laser pistol, Cloudburst pretty much has the whole electric weapon thing covered.

How a laser pistol shoots electric blasts is unclear, but it may have something to do with ionization pathways.

Fiction

[edit]

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

[edit]

Cloudburst's Pretender shell was armed with a thunderbolt cannon that fired high-voltage bursts. Cloudburst's More than Meets the Eye profile

Toys

[edit]
"Is she gone?"
  • Accessories: 2-piece Pretender shell, helmet, belt, lightning whip, thunderbolt laser pistol
Cloudburst came with a red weapon, identified as a thunderbolt laser pistol in his instructions and packaging bio, that he could wield in all three modes. This toy was released without changes as Super-God Masterforce Pretender Phoenix, where the thunderbolt laser pistol was repurposed as Phoenix's wave blaster.

Notes

[edit]
  • Cloudburst's Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye profile refers to Cloudburst's weapon as a thunderbolt cannon, possibly because laser beams aren't composed of electricity.
  • Both Cloudburst's packaging bio and More than Meets the Eye profile imply that this weapon functions as a particle beam cannon when he is in space cruiser mode.
