The '''''Thunder Arrow''''' (サンダーアロー ''Sandā Arō'') is a mighty vessel indeed. Whether serving as [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s mobile base or acting as an interstellar shuttle for [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker's]] ambition, it provides mobility and firepower.  
While [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s main vessel, the [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]], was imprisoned in the [[Dark Nebula]], the '''''Thunder Arrow''''' (サンダーアロー ''Sandā Arō'') was his mobile base on his quest to gather enough energy to free his mighty fortress. It was a huge vessel that could swallow up an entire [[oil tanker]] with ease.

The Thunder Arrow is a starship from the Victory portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

While Deathsaurus's main vessel, the Planet-Destroying Fortress, was imprisoned in the Dark Nebula, the Thunder Arrow (サンダーアロー Sandā Arō) was his mobile base on his quest to gather enough energy to free his mighty fortress. It was a huge vessel that could swallow up an entire oil tanker with ease.

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.

That doesn't seem quite right...

This article on a location (real or fictional) associated with the Transformers brand is a stub and is missing information. You can help MediaWiki by expanding it.
