• Thundercracker (Warrior Class, 2018)
  • Action Attack: "Lightning Slash"

Cyberverse Warrior Class Thundercracker is a redeco of Warrior Class Starscream and converts from robot to jet and back. His "Lightning Slash" Action Attack gimmick is activated by winding up a spring in his waist and releasing the upper part of the figure, allowing it to spin and flip out its spring-loaded wing blades with centrifugal force. The waist can be locked in place by pegging his landing gear onto a peg on his backside. Additionally, he has non-firing Null Ray blasters molded into his forearms with 5 mm post hole hands.

While his arms have articulation comparable to other Cyberverse Warrior Class toys, Thundercracker has the unusual distinction of having his hip swivels molded together, meaning the front-to-back movement is in tandem. He also lacks knees, likely due to his whole legs being cast from the same blue plastic. Despite this otherwise restricted movement, he can splay his legs out to the sides due to hinges on his hips, allowing splits and high kicks.

This toy was intended as a Toys"R"Us exclusive for the United States market, but due to the bankruptcy of Toys"R"Us in the United States, this didn't work out. The figure was first revealed to the public via a listing on the Hong Kong Toys"R"Us website and, subsequently released as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Singapore and Malaysia without any prior announcement from Hasbro. It was also available from the Canadian Toys"R"Us online store.

This mold was also redecoed into Acid Storm.
