Thunderwing is the ultimate Decepticon villan - a two-faced, lying, cheating, back-stabbing scoundrel. Pursuing science for the sole reason of turning himself from a weak intellectual into a feared warrior, he has made huge and terrible leaps in weapons technology. He is also equipped with electrostatic gun ports in his shoulders and a metal-eating laser beam in forehead. Reserve fuel tanks in his legs provide a huge fuel supply and aerator hoses in his chest emit noxious gases. His weapon of choice is one of his own creation, the cyclone cannon and he transforms into inter-stellar jet that carries full payload of plasma charges.
