Thrust was one of the Seekers sent to Earth under Slipstream's command; he accompanied Acid Storm in an attempt to recover the scout ship that Windblade and Bumblebee had stolen. Windblade was able to take off before they could infiltrate the ship, and a dogfight ensued, with the two Seekers being joined by their commander Slipstream. Unfortunately for Thrust, he and Acid Storm were taken out of the fight when Windblade discovered the ship's armament array, a brace of missiles sending the two subordinate Seekers spiraling down to Earth.

Thrust was among the army of Seekers offlined by an Allspark-powered Starscream. I Am The Allspark

Where's my hat?

• Seekers Sinister Strikeforce (Multi-pack, 2020)
  • Action Attack: "Nova Seeker Missile"

Cyberverse Thrust is a redeco of Warrior Class "Cybertronian Mode" Starscream, transforming into a Cybertronian jet that resembles the Vic Viper T-301 from Gradius V. His "Nova Seeker Missile" Action Attack flips his wing-attached spring-loaded null rays up and forward when his cockpit is pulled back all the way into his robot-mode back. The blasters are also removable for safety reasons, but cannot attach to anything but their normal mounts.

Thrust was released exclusively at Target with fellow Seekers Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Starscream, all of whom were also redecoed from the same Starscream figure. The product was first sighted in July 2020 with no prior announcement from Hasbro.

Notes

• Unlike Ramjet and Dirge, Cyberverse Thrust does not have a conehead. The reason for this is unknown; story editor Randolph Heard hinted at it becoming significant in a future storyline, but this did not come to fruition.
• Thrust was made female in the Japanese dub of Cyberverse, inverting the recurring trend of female characters being made male in several Japanese Transformers dubs. Additionally, her non-conehead status led Takara to rename her Red Wing.
• Thrust's Cyberverse cartoon model uses the masculine Seeker face while the Battlegrounds game model uses the feminine Seeker face.

Foreign names

• Japanese: Red Wing (レッドウイング Reddo Uingu)
