- The Thunder Arrow is a starship from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Thunder Arrow (サンダーアロー Sandā Arō)is a mighty vessel indeed. Whether serving as Deathsaurus's mobile base or acting as an interstellar shuttle for Skystalker's ambition, it provides mobility and firepower.
It was impressively armed, with four main cannons on the nose, guns on the deck and numerous smaller gun ports all along the side. Despite this impressive armament, however, it often wound up being damaged by the Autobots in battle.
