[edit]- Autobot Whirl with Makeshift & Gunbarrel (Ultra, 2004)
Thunderstick was repurposed from the Universe Ultra release of Gunbarrel.
- A redeco of Armada Gunbarrel, Universe Gunbarrel transforms into a multi-engined military cargo plane of undetermined model. He also has a third "weapon" mode, a six-barreled (non-firing) cannon.
- He was only available in an Ultra-class set with Whirl and Makeshift (who was similarly renamed into Skysickle in "Force of Habit"), released in the third "official" wave of Ultra-class packs (Universe has a few ".5" half-waves, which ultimately put this pack in the fifth set of Ultra releases, yes it's confusing).
