| The name or term "Thundercracker" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Thundercracker (disambiguation). |
- The Thundercracker drones are Decepticon clones from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Thundercracker drones are the troops of Thundercracker, and, like him, are cloned from the Decepticon of the same name. Linked to their master via a cortical network, they can receive their orders wordlessly, although this connection can become disrupted, leaving them to act independently.
Like Thundercracker, the drones will readily use fear tactics to intimidate their foes, but unlike him, they have no qualms with terrifying innocent bystanders too.
