| The name or term "Thrust" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Thrust (disambiguation). |
- Thrust is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Thrust wants you to know he's coming. The other Decepticons have learned there's no being sneaky when he's around. He's a loud-mouthed braggart who will claim victory before he's even taken the field. He tries to terrify and demoralize the enemy with loud rumbling roars from his engines and boasts from his vocal circuits. The truth is that Thrust is mostly bluster with little to back it up. Any sort of strong resistance can send him flying back the way he came.

When the mighty Autobot Dinobots relocated to the time-displaced prehistoric Dinobot Island, Thrust was one of several Decepticon warriors who accompanied Megatron to the island in the hopes of exploiting the island's vast energy resources. After the Dinobots made their presence known, Thrust stood by to guard the energon cubes while Megatron conspired to eliminate their adversaries. Dinobot Island, Part 1
After Megatron sucessfully took control of Central City by manipulating his ally Shawn Berger and the other humans, Thrust was tasked with capturing the escaped human slave Chip Chase. He chased the human into the Autobot base and seemingly prevented Chip from saving the Autobots from a collision course into the sun by destroying Teletraan I, but actually unwittingly saved his enemies by shutting off the autopilot that was navigating their doomed ship. Thrust attempted to crush Chip before securing him in his jet cockpit and returning the human to the power plant, where he had his after burner handed to him by the Autobots. Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2 During the Decepticons' attack on Autobot City in 2005, he had the distinction of being the first Decepticon to be run over by Optimus Prime. Ouch.
Devil's Due G.I. Joe vs the Transformers comics continuity
As part of Serpent O.R.'s forces, Thrust defended the newly unified Decepticon army's base against a combined Autobot/G.I. Joe strike force. In the course of the battle, he and Barrage were shot by Lady Jaye. The Art of War, Part 5
IDW continuity
Thrust was a part of Darkwing's command on the planet Nebulos when the Pretender Thunderwing attacked the planet. Though he was eager to join the fight, Thrust was instead put in charge of the hidden Decepticon command bunker for two purposes. First, to alert Megatron of the reborn threat of Thunderwing. Second, to destroy the bunker, leaving no trace of their presence. Thrust carried out the first order but, since Thunderwing left early, might not have carried out the second order. Being the only Decepticon left on the planet, he would truly be an Army of one. Too bad it is such an incompetent one. Stormbringer, Part 3
Toys
Generation 1
- Thrust (1985, 2001, 2004)
- Japanese ID number: D-57
- The original Thrust toy is a retool of the original Starscream, who was originally a Diaclone "Jet Robo Acrobat-Type" F-15 Eagle. His central F-15 body is unchanged, but he has new wings with ducted VTOL fans, and new rear stabilizers. Unlike Dirge and Ramjet, however, Thrust retained the launchers, null-ray lasers and cluster bombs projectiles used in Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp.
- In robot mode his official instructions has the user pulling down his nose cone to complete his head transformation, like Starscream. However, Thrust, as well as Ramjet and Dirge's television incarnations depict them as having their heads untransformed, leaving a distinctive 'conehead' shape to their appearance. This has lead many owners to do the same thing, to differentiate the three later Decepticon jets from the three earlier ones.
Smallest Transformers
- Thrust (2003)
- Japanese ID number: GTF-11
- Smallest Transformers Thrust is a retool of Starscream. Like all toys in the line, Thrust is a tiny, simplified version of the original toy, transforming into a modified F-15 fighter jet. These toys were sold "blind-packed" in boxes, so you could not know which one you had until you actually opened the box.
Timelines
- Games of Deception! (Multi-pack, 2007)
- Thrust is part of the upcoming Classics-themed BotCon 2007 box set, along with Bugbite, Dirge, Dreadwind, and Thundercracker. He is a retool of the Classics Ramjet toy.
- Thrust was retooled to have two new wings and horizontal stabilizers from Ramjet. He is the first Botcon toy to have a retool that affects transformation.
- As with most Classics toys, he features a heat-sensitive rubsign.
- There were 1500 Classics Thrust figures produced.
Trivia
- Thrust is one of the few Decepticons from the G1 cartoon who didn't have red eyes. He had yellow eyes instead.
- Classics Thrust is one of the only modern Hasbro produced figures to have label stickers.
