Toys

Generation 1

• Thunder Clash (Turbomaster, 1992)

This mold was retooled into Machine Wars Optimus Prime. This later version of the mold had a planned redeco as Menasor in the Universe line, but was cancelled.

This toy also has an undocumented feature. The back of Thunder Clash's legs have notches in them that fits his handgun's "wings" for storage in vehicle mode.

Trivia

• Thunderclash began life as "Hyperdrive". According to the concept art, the truck mode is roughly the same (the trailer sports two large "vent sections" on the sides) but the trailer and cab together form one very large robot in a fashion similar to Motormaster. For whatever reason, this robot is shown holding one of Thunderwing's rifles and having a chest similar to Star Convoy.
