Thunderblast (Decepticon)
| This article is about the Cybertron female Decepticon. For the Cybertron Autobot-allied Mini-Con, see Thunderblast (UT) (Mini-Con). |
Thunderblast is a Decepticon from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
Thunderblast is obsessed with power. Not attaining it for herself, but rather, latching onto a "male" Transformer who has a lot of power. She follows the strongest Decepticon she can find, and the stronger they are, the more infatuated with him she is. As such, she is usually seen clinging to Galvatron (who certainly doesn't reciprocate). But as soon as the power structure shifts, so does the focus of her affections.
Though she's fickle and flighty (and greedy and selfish and opportunistic and vain and overconfident and...) she's not completely stupid. She knows how to use her wiles to get what she wants, and she's no slouch in combat, especially underwater. She knows Autobots are generally reluctant to shoot at a female and uses that to her advantage as long as she can... at least, long enough to give them a faceful of missiles.
She seems to have something resembling an actual friendship with Lugnutz. And while she's generally dissapointed if guys aren't fawning over her, she's found that she wants nothing to do with the geeky Shortround, who is infatuated with her. On the other end of the spectrum, she has quickly gained the undying hatred of the human girl Lori.

Thunderblast arrived on Earth in the colony ship Atlantis millions of years ago. While the Autobots watched over and guided human evolution, the Decepticons terrorized the humans, inspiring the myths and legends of old. (For example, Thunderblast was the inspiration for the myth of Lorelei.) These "monsters" were rounded up by the "monster hunter" Crosswise, who locked the criminals up inside a prison located in the center of the Earth (called the "Earth's Navel"), where they stayed until they were released by Starscream in the present day.
