Thunderblast - Transformers: Cybertron (Decepticon)

Transformers: Cybertron (Decepticon)

Thunderblast is a female Transformer, and a member of an ancient race of Decepticons living on the Planet Earth. Thunderblast's vehicle mode is a speed-boat. She is armed with a quadruple-missile launcher that converts into a super-rocket launcher with use of a Cyber Key. She also has a 30. caliber Browning-style machine gun which mounts onto her boat deck in boat mode and which mounts onto the outside of her left leg.

Her tech spec indicates that she frequently takes advantage of her looks, counting on the fact that Autobots won't blast her on the grounds that she's female, using her charms to beguile them then destroy them. This deceitful gambit doesn't always work, however, as some opponents do not give her the chance mis lead them. She has a loose affiliation with Sideways. Despite her appearance, she is actually one of the ancient Decepticons freed by Starscream in his quest for power. In ancient times she posed as a siren, luring human sailors to their deaths with Cybertronian songs. However, her Takara bio indicates she is not without ambition. It is known that the Decepticon Shortround is infatuated with Thunderblast. Thunderblast is also a chronic side switcher. During the final battle between Galvatron and Starscream, she is heard to think that she would support whoever won.

Thunderblast is not the first Transformer to possess an especially feminine figure, with features such as a shaped torso, hips and even what appear to be breasts underneath her chest-plate, (Blackarachnia was perhaps most notable for this) but she is the first to have what appear to be nipples, seen only for perhaps one instant in the show itself.
