Thunderwing is a Predacon in Transformers: The New Beast Wars. He is the team leader, and is very powerful. He is heavily armed, very strong and fast, and possesses an incredible intellect to boot. He always appears to be in control, with his emotions being buried under a veneer of icy cold. Should they come out, Thunderwing morphs into a very violent being. The fact that he has enough firepower to take down a starship and strength enough to tear apart small buildings with his bare hands isn't helping matters. His crew dislike him, except for Bugly and Submarauder, who believe him to be the reincarnation of their former leader.
