Thunderclash (Armada)

The name or term "Thunderclash" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Thunderclash (disambiguation).

Thunderclash is a Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

A greasy, amoral smooth-talking weasel, Thunderclash has somehow managed to lie, cheat and swindle his way into a positon where many larger and more powerful Decepticons actually owe him... or at least fear that he may blackmail them, so they do what he wants. Utterly self-interested, Thunderclash doesn't do anything unless he can see a way to personally profit from it. Some say he started the rumors that his occasional partner Skywarp is only in the position he is thanks to a healthy dose of nepotism. Needless to say, Skywarp hates Thunderclash's guts, but can't do a whole lot about it... yet.

An alternate-universe incarnation of Thunderclash serves the will of Unicron via the herald Ramjet. This version of Thunderclash has no free will whatsoever, being a near-mindless thrall.

Toys

Armada

• Skywarp w/ Thunderclash (Max-Con, 2003)

Available only with the Decepticon Skywarp, Thunderclash transforms into a Cybertronic gunship. His jet mode can be attached to the underside of Skywarp's jet-mode nosecone for storage, "launched" by pressing down on Skywarp's cockpit canopy.

This mold is also used by Processor, Saber, and Triac.

Notes

• The packaging for the Toys "R" Us Ramjet sets shows a different deco for Thunderclash and the Air Military Team than what was ultimately used.
