He's pretty much on par with Megatron and Shockwave when you look at how easily he beat the crap out of Grimlock.

Here's what I think the two would measure up:
- Megatron might be stronger in terms of physical strength (not by much though).
- Thunderwing is much faster and more agile (mostly due to his altmode).
- Megatron has superior firepower.
- Thunderwing can take way more damage then Megatron thanks to his pretendershell (and he can partially regenerate).
- Megatron's blackhole tap would give him a quick win, but I'm willing to bet that Thunderwing could dodge it more easily then Optimus and Magnus did.
- Thunderwing can exit his pretender shell and attack Megatron from two directions at once.
- Both had the balls to attack and board the Ark, they are even in terms of courage/insanity.


I think that I'd give it to Megatron, though he'd be barely functioning after the battle.

- Megatron is as sane as he's ever been,
- the whole Matrix stuff is out of the picture and cannot be used,
- bringing magic black holes out of nowhere is not an option.

So, under the above stipulations, who's gonna take it?
