Barithunder

Barithunder is an Autobot Mini-Con from the Adventure portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Who's that Pokemon? It's Electabuzz!

Barithunder (バリサンダー Barisandā) has the power to control electricity, being able to call down lightning from the heavens and shape it into electric weapons and armor for his larger partner, Sideswipe. Wearing armor created by Barithunder increases Sideswipe's speed and strength threefold.

Toys

Adventure

• Barithunder & Sideswipe Thunder Armor (Mini-Con Battle Pack, 2016)
  • Japanese ID Number: TAV43

A redeco of Anvil, Barithunder transforms from a spiked spheroid into a winged gargoyle-like robot. As a Cyclone Mini-Con, he is designed to be launched from the Deployer Crazybolt and Overload toys. He has multiple indents that look for all the world like Mini-Con armor attachment points, but he does not actually come with any armor.

He was only available in a two-pack with the basic-sized "Thunder Armor" Sideswipe.

• Bumblebee & Sideswipe Supreme Armor set (4-Pack, 2016)
  • Japanese ID Number: TAV44

Barithunder was also sold in a 4-pack with Sideswipe, Bumblebee, and Ironjam. This "Supreme Power Barithunder" is redecoed in the same red and black colors as Sideswipe.

Notes

• The first part of Barithunder's name probably comes from "baribari" (バリバリ), Japanese onomatopoeia for the crackling of electricity.
