The latest figures from the Transformers United series have taken off and none higher than Thunderwing. This Decepticon packs a punch with those massive weapons mounted under its wings and even has a detachable reconnaissance plane mounted underneath!
UN-26 Thunderwing converts from a jet fighter into a robot mode patterned after the original Thunderwing’s Pretender shell; the nose of the jet separates to become a drone unit, and the missile launchers double as handheld weapons.
Thunderwing serves the Decepticon cause in his aerial espionage capacity. Thunderwing is characterized as a personification of way of the Decepticon. Thunderwing embraced the experimental Pretender process, finalizing the procedure and serving as his own guinea pig; upon merging with his symbiotic Pretender shell Thunderwing was imbued with enough power to battle the Autobots and his fellow Decepticons simultaneously, although the process cost him his sanity.
