• Known designers: Emiliano Santalucia (concept artist)
Part of the fourth wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, Thundertron converts from a robotic lion to a peg-legged space pirate and back! He features an incredibly long beard and looks like he’s wearing a long-coat, with the latter being due to the beast mode ”wings” on his robot waist and the coattail-shaped panel on his back. He also features translucent plastic, such as his back and forearms/beast mode forelegs, to accommodate his weapon’s light-up gimmick.
For accessories, he has a short-bladed claw which is pegged (via 5 mm peg-hole) into his peg-leg, and serves as his right robot mode and rear-right beast mode foot. He also has a long-bladed claw that transforms into a ”Battle sword”, the LED in the weapon illuminating the sword blade as a sort of ”Energon glow”. Either accessory can peg into his hands, forearms, robot and beast back, and into either side of his ”wings”. Additionally, the light-up weapon features a peg-hole on either side of the lever.
In order for him to fit in the box, he is often mis-transformed in-package, with his chest panels not being opened, and his crest, ”coattail”, and pelvis being left in their beast mode positions. His package-back also features a call-out to his static snap-on claw/right foot accessory, but it incorrectly points to his claw/sword accessory instead. Additionally, his stock photography depicts additional paint operations not present in the final product, such as silver paint for most of his robot feet/beast hind-feet, and gold paint for the lower half of his peg-leg. Finally, his instructions forget to mention that the spurs on the sides of his rear feet have to be swung up and angled for lion mode, as shown in his package art and stock photos.
He was later redecoed into Leo Prime, Go! Go Prime, and BotCon 2014 Alpha Trizer.
