| The name or term "Thrust" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Thrust (disambiguation). |
- Thrust is a Predacon Combatron from the Beast Wars II portion of the Generation 1 continuity family who was later upgraded into Thrustor.
Like his best friend, Dirge, Thrust has the attitude of a comedian. He never calms down and hates acting serious. He’d much rather have fun and take things in stride. Thrust has a shrewd personality, though, and along with Dirge he forms a well-known duo among the Predacons. Unfortunately, the duo isn’t known for exactly what they’d like to be. For the most part, they are thought of as bunglers. Thrust hates sea breezes since they tend to cause him to rust and for that reason alone he has a great hatred of the Maximal Scuba.
After pledging unconditional loyalty to Gigastorm, Thrust was rebuilt as Thrustor (スラストール Surasutōru). While he retains the same jovial personality, Thrustor is an all-around superior warrior to his previous form and no longer a harmless joke among the Maximals.
