Profile: A decisive leader who is never afraid to take action, Thunderclash commands the instant respect and loyalty of every soldier that he takes under his wings. With a razor sharp mind, and an intuitive flair and reputation for rescuing troops under his command from disastrous situations, Thunderclash is looked upon as the ideal mentor to initiate new recruits into the Autobot ranks. Massively powerful and versatile, just his fearless presence on the battlefield saps the fighting spirit from Decepticon troops.

Before the war, Thunderclash studied in various fields of academia including the medical field. He even helped the Autobot’s chief medical officer Ratchet pass his medical exams. In the end, however, Thunderclash’s true calling was that of a champion of the innocent and oppressed. Sensing the danger that Thunderclash might pose to them, the Senate decided to station Thunderclash and his men on the Eight Track on the outer rim of the galaxy.

Word eventually came to Thunderclash about an uprising of a terrorist group called Decepticons. Thunderclash asked if the Senate would like him to return, but they assured him that the Decepticons were a small band of troublemakers, capable of doing no serious harm. Unable to put his concerns aside, Thunderclash often drilled the mechs under his command in the ways of battle just in case they were called to action.

After a long period of no contact from the Senate despite repeated hails, Thunderclash took his men and the Eight Track back to Cybertron only to see that it had fallen into total war. Learning of the corruption of the Senate, Thunderclash felt ashamed to have been so deceived by them and, upon learning that Orion Pax – now Optimus Prime – led the Autbots, joined with the Autobot forces in an attempt to oust the Decepticons.

Many times during the war on Cybertron, Thunderclash clashed with the Decepticon Predators and their vicious commander Skyquake. Their rivalry left Cybertron for the stars once the war moved away from their home planet with Thunderclash pursuing the Predators ceaselessly. Thunderclash does not worry about the air superiority of the Predators, believing that by standing as one, he and his men will be able to resist anything that is thrown at them.

During Optimus Prime’s first sabbatical, Thunderclash carried the Matrix of Leadership for the Autobot supreme commander. It’s said the Matrix had to be surgically removed, so pleased it was with its host.

Abilities: Thunderclash is extremely powerful, possessing incredible strength, intelligence, and endurance. He is considered one of the most gifted leaders within the Autobot ranks, a talented commander and strategist, capable of performing death-defying rescues. He is also medically trained, thanks to his pre-war academic pursuits.

Thunderclash possesses a high-powered hand-held mortar capable of launching plasma shells a distance of up to 10 kilometers, which is his weapon of choice in combat situations. In standard robot mode, his shoulder cannons will introduce any adversary in his way to his unique 12-missile-power defense system. His standard trailer can turn into a mini-command center, equipped with hand-held weaponry and his unique 12-missile-power defense systems.

Weaknesses: Thunderclash has no physical weaknesses.
