Thundertron ain't no Decepitcon. In fact, he'd be appalled to be even associated with a Cybertronian faction. He utterly dispises Cybertronians, beauring some sort of grudge-like vendetta against them all. He is a Star Seeker and proud of it.

From what we've seen of him thus far, Magnus is loyal and honorable to Optimus.

I don't know why I'm only just thinking that a lion is an odd alt-mode for a pirate. He's still cool and I still want him, along with Dreadwing. Fix that Mechtech weapon in blaster mode and paint it silver and grey and it'll be awesome!

Yeah, you'd expect a pirate TF to turn into a shark or octopus or a pirate (space)ship, but it's kinda refreshing that the only thing stereotypically "pirate" about him is the (optional) pegleg.

Still, I'm hoping he gets a crew of more 'typical' beast-formers. In particular, a small parrot that can sit on his shoulder is a must.

I see nothing wrong with a Pirate Lion.



I also can't be the only one who made that connection, especially after he turned out to be blue and white.

Think of him as being more of a "pirate king" than a captain, and what animal is known for being the "king of beasts"?

What's mroe refreshing is that, depsite being a pirate, he speech is that of a normal person, devoid of any and all pirate lingo like "Arrgh" or "shiver me timbers" or using "be" in place of "is" and "are".

His known crew members thus far consist of Brimstone, Cannonball, Sandstorm, and ex-Decepticon Axer. Their ship is called the Tidal Wave.

At BotCon 2011, Hasbro showed us a few images from within the Binder, in which we saw Brimstone and maybe Cannonball (don't remember if we saw Sandstorm, but 'm pretty sure we didn't see Axer). From memory, Brimstone was based off of Cybertron Brimstone, he at least is known to turn into some bird-like beast. I don't remember what Cannonball looked like, if they did show him, that is. All I can remember is Brimstone.

I remembered him too, but the color scheme first reminded me of PCC Searchlight and then Cybertron Snarl.

I cannot believe someone figured out how to make Whirl look cool

To be fair, its only because it's a Decepticon chassis

Fun fact: That kind of speech pattern was introduced by actor Robert Newton, in the 1954 Australian film adaptation of Treasure Island, portraying the part of Long John Silver.

Axer should be a motorbike, though, right?

Given that he was at one point a 'Con, probably. Though he could have switched up his altmode to blend in with the crew.
