Thunderclash


 * Thunderclash is an Autobot commander.

Thunderclash is the powerful, intelligent commander-in-chief of the Autobot Turbomasters. Fearless in battle and keen in strategy, he is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, his mere appearance sapping the fighting spirit from Decepticon forces. He commands the respect of the Autobots under his authority and the fear of the Decepticon Predators they fight against. Thunderclash worries not about the air superiority of the Predators, believing that by standing as one, the Turbomasters will be able to resist anything that's thrown at them.

What a guy!

"The universe is cold, and cruel, and violent —- but only if you choose to look at it that way. ... The good always outweighs the bad. And this, right now —- this is my modest contribution to the good."

Wings Universe
Nine million years ago, Thunderclash was originally a merchant, until his ship was taken hostage by the Fright and Bones Decepticon vessel. After a daring rescue in which he safely freed all seven of his comrades from enemy hands, Thunderclash enlisted into the military. He had difficulty putting up with his drill instructors barking orders at him all day long, and nearly resigned from the military, only for fate to intervene once more. On his way to his superior officer's quarters, he found the officer murdered, and came to grips as to why his training had been so extreme; to prevent the same fate from befalling himself. Thunderclash often drilled the mechs under his command in the ways of battle, even though his ship, the Eight Track, was stationed on the outer rim of the galaxy. His quick and powerful mind and the ease with which he commanded respect made him an ideal mentor for new recruits.
