I really love the Universe version of the Night Slash mold. Obviously not show accurate, but the colors are pretty cool and the robot mode is very unique in its sleekness and height. It has an impressive presence to it. Quite honestly, that's probably the best we'll get because it seems that aside from repainting the Air Attack Primal mold here and there, there is utterly no interest in making new versions of anything from BM and given how mixed the reaction to that show and its designs is among the fanbase, it makes sense.

Yeah, I felt the same for many of the Vehicon designs.

Tankor uses TR Hardhead
Thrust uses CW Groove
Jetstorm uses T30 Starscream
The Diagnostic Drone got in too as a redeco of TR Crashbash's vehicle.

"An embryo of a reborn dark God, this Avatar of Unicron is the byproduct of hubris and obsession. What was once the Decepticon Shokaract has been consumed and reformatted by Angolmois into a mishmash of his original form and that of the power which consumed him. His sanity, identity, color scheme and now face gone, he has been physically and mentally transformed into a living effigy of the Chaos Bringer."

Even though I don't have him (passed on him when he was at Ross ) I had a piece of headcanon that involved... well, the identities of the two components switched around. That Krok was reduced to a Headmaster like so many in the Legends Manga, and Gatoraider being converted into a transtector.

Latebrus-K wrote:Headcanon wise, I've re-imagined a more conflicted version of the character, similar to a young King Arthur. Here, he is a channeler/avatar of Prima. Unlike some others, he was chosen by the Prime to have this power for his sheer moral purity. He struggled with this honor, initially wanting to be rid of it since Prima's energy gives him immense strength to do right, but at a cost. Thunderclash must fight the Prime's influence on his personality: a burning hatred of evil. He refuses to embrace it as part of himself, unlike Star Saber who is more at peace with it. While Star Saber sublimates it into his violent fighting style, Thunderclash finds himself stopping mid-battle to get it under control.
