Thrust (Movie)
| 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 from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film continuity family.
Thrust, a "melee Decepticon lieutenant", is in charge of the lighter long-range Decepticons. Which works out great for him, because it means he can send them out on the dangerous missions. This way he doesn't have to get up close and personal with the Autobots himself.
Thrust is a colossal coward; he's as "brave" as they come when it comes to terrorizing unarmed humans, but once even a decently-armed human force comes into play, let alone fully-armed Autobots, Thrust is off like a shot. He has no intention of hanging around and getting killed.

Revenge of the Fallen
- Thrust (Deluxe, 2009)
- Part of the seventh wave of Revenge of the Fallen Deluxes, Thrust is a retool and redeco of Revenge Breakaway with a new head, transforming into an approximation of an F-35 Lightning II/Joint Strike Fighter. His right arm features a rotary cannon with rotating barrel, activated by a gear-wheel embedded in his forearm. His Mech Alive gimmick is located in his upper arms; turning his forearms makes the machinery inside his biceps turn in time. Thrust does have a waist joint, but turning it is impossible because the tail fin (attached to his waist) tabs into his back. Surprisingly, unlike most deluxe figures, he actually has rolling landing gear.
- Thrust was initially released with the standard Decepticon symbol tampographed on his wings and fuselage. A running change was made, correcting these with the movie style Decepticon symbol.
- This mold was redecoed and further retooled into Dark of the Moon Air Raid.
