Thundercracker (Machine Wars)

Thundercracker is loyal to the cause of unifying the Cybertronian Empire, however he does not believe in Jhiaxus' means of doing such. He remains rebellious within the ranks of the new Decepticons and does not fear displaying his contemptuousness to his superiors.

Often times Thundercracker prefers taking his clone squadron on monotonous patrols and performing menial tasks so as to distance himself from his fellow Decepticons. This also allows him to practice his latest tactics for striking fear in his enemies while acting on his disdain for anything incapable of flight, without feeling judgment by the piercing optics of the land bound Soundwave.
