Now "connected" in Hollywood, Thundercracker had the resources to eventually finish, finance, and film Last Laugh. He was in the process of completing a final edit of the movie when Unicron attacked Earth. A Sunrise Dark After Unicron was defeated and life began to return to normal, Last Laugh was released to the general public and proved to be a hit.

Notes
[edit]- This movie is based on the events of IDW's Cobra mini-series, obviously embellished and rewritten to Thundercracker's liking. Among other things, the real Chuckles does not "save the world" through his actions, nor does he manage to save his love interest Jinx (he actually kills her himself to maintain his cover!) Even the Cobra Commander that Thundercracker envisions as the main antagonist of the movie's climactic scene is inaccurate; the actual Chuckles had already unceremoniously assassinated a different Cobra Commander by the point he has to deal with the nuclear missiles, and was instead with Xamot Paoli at the time.
