Thruster

One of the more unique things about the GoBots were their transports. Thruster, the playset, not only held Renegades, but turned into a robot... sorta. I'd love to see that kept alive with a quickie update. Using Armada Jetfire as the base with a slightly modified head, Thruster returns in all its olive-headed glory.


Since Thruster was never given a personality in the show (which I think is a shame), I'll apply my own twist on the character that made for some fun in my Transformers vs GoBots fanfic.

"Thruster only recently discovered her capacity for thought, and is still adjusting to her new-found sentience. She understands her role in the Renegade ranks as a transport and mobile battle station, and seeks to bring glory to Cy-Kill's cause. Since gaining her ability to think, Thruster has become extremely protective of her passengers to the point of obsession. She keeps tabs on the location, activity, and functioning status of all Renegades within her at all times. This sometimes benefits the Renegades in battle, as she will fight tooth and nail to protect them. On the flip side of this, Thruster refuses to leave any of her passengers behind, forcing the Renegades to drag their fallen comrades aboard before she is willing to leave a battlefield."
