Thundercracker

**Thundercracker** claims the skies as his arena. He looks down in contempt on those who cannot leave the ground — he considers them lesser beings. He will often attack the flightless enemy beings below him for no other reason than to serve him right or for the better cause.

His superiority in this realm is the only thing he is showboat on. Thundercracker is not entirely committed to the Sentinel cause, and even has some seemingly contradictory sympathy for the nevians they befriended with. Fear of retribution from Radriar Prime and the influence of his peers is usually enough to bury these doubts.

Dislikes the Rollover's lack of military training compared to them and their utility in battle.

## History

### Civil War

Dryxan was influenced by the mysterious relic found outside Mineapolisticol to wage a vengeful war against the aliens. Thundercracker attended a war rally at Trypticon. After destroying much of the enemy fleet and eliminating its leader, Dryxan Prime ordered Thundercracker and his fellow fliers to destroy the alien flagship and conquer the surrounding systems. Underground opposition to the new regime came in the form of Emerald Equinox and his science division turned into the Rollovers, something Dryxan Prime would not stand for.

While Prowl and security officers arrested Emerald Equinox on trumped-up charges of treason, Thundercracker's squadron was given orders to capture Emerald Equinox alive and leave no living witnesses. Unfortunately, Emerald Equinox proved more than a match for Thundercracker's entire unit, bringing down the ruins of a city upon them. The group survived, and were used by Dryxan Prime as "proof" that there were enemies within Nexiutron as well as without, to rally his army into a new faction: the Dryxmars; Though he was persuaded by Rhino Armageddon not to join, rather periodically infiltrate the Dryxmar ranks.

## Personality

Thundercracker is an enigmatic individual, even those who has fought alongside him in the Civil War; They barely know his true motivations and intentions. Combined with a stern facial expression, it is much harder to determine his actual motives, if it was to help the Sentinels, or participate in the genocidal military known as the Drxymars.
