\\Thundercracker//

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Function: Warrior

First Appearance:

Comic-Transformers #1

Cartoon-More Than Meets the Eye

Motto: "The deadliest weapon is terror."

Profile: Soaring swiftly through the clouds, Thundercracker gazes with scorn on the creatures below. He is utterly contemptuous of anything that cannot lift itself off the ground and claim the sky. Occasionally, he expresses that contempt by diving and striking, leaving flame and destruction as he again speeds upward. Yet he is not totally convinced of the cause that he serves. Only the words of his Decepticon companions about the rightness of their cause, the destiny of conquest that is their birthright, convince him to go on. He is persuaded because he wants to be persuaded. Without a sense of purpose, Thundercracker would find his life unbearable.

Abilities: Like his follow Decepticon jet fighters, Thundercracker can attain speeds of up to 1500 mph. He has the additional ability to produce controlled sonic booms of deafening magnitude that can be heard within a 200-mile radius. He can launch a drone rocket with a range of 500 miles that behaves similarly to a cruise missile and has the concussive force of 3000 lbs. of TNT. He has a shoulder-mounted automatic incendiary gun that shoots at 100 rounds per minute heat-resistant ceramic bullets containing a highly explosive flammable material that ignites on impact.

Weaknesses: Lingering doubts in Thundercracker's subconscious sometimes surface and impede his effectiveness, particularly when innocent human lives are endangered. Usually his fear of Decepticon Leader Megatron compels him to overlook these doubts.

Allegiance:: None/Third Faction Neutral

Live Journal:: http://storm_skies.livejournal.com

First Appearence:: At a Rave that Frenzy threw.

Motto:: "Don't fuck with me, or those I deem valuable"

Profile::  Out going and gregarious, he has a tendency to be able to sink into any peer group and usually find a friend or compatriot no matter the faction. He enjoys spending time with his family and his mates. He currently has two. His first mate is Skywarp- his long time lover and wingmate. The second is Bumblebee, an autobot scout he came to care for during the duress the other was under from his emotional stress with a certain squishie named Sam Witwicky. He has developed a severe dislike (read, hatred) of humans due to several incidents via Sector Seven. He recently had a series of upgrades given to him by the Quintessions (see: Kidnapping and brainwashing) and has shared those with the Medic Hook (see: grandfather and pyscho) and both he and Sunstorm might as well be considered brothers for their physical similarties (minus color)that they share. He seeks to do no harm, and actually spends a great amount of time breaking up fights, or spending time with other Cybertronians. He has a great number of friends still within Decepticon Ranks, and a compatriotship with more than several autobots- including Optimus Prime himself.

He was the leader of the non-aligned third faction. He's since rejoined the Decepticons...  There were several from either faction into this new one, though in reality- most faction rules and laws have broken down.  Hardcore Autobots (see: Cliffjumper) and Decepticons (See: Dive Bomb) still refuse to admit that the war has ended...

But whatever keeps you going...

He has a terrible phobia of organic things getting into his chassis, and will not absolutely let any squishie in his cockpit under pain of death, literally. This all stemmed from that damned mission to Rigel IV... Which yes, he's still bitter about.

He's gotten over the organic thing...kinda.  What can we say? Sarah's a good friend. As for Sam? He deserved it.

He has a keen connection to family, and would prefer to keep it that way. He's one of the few Transformers with sparklings of his own.

Thundercracker has a considerable, cold temper if you get on his badside, and given the amount of mechs he's managed to make either into family or friends- I'd forego making him an enemy if I were you.

You see.

We really are the Mafia.

Just Wait.

We know where you sleep.

Capiche?
