Who knew teaming up withUnicronwas a bad idea?

Thrustis the leader of theSky Terror Mini-Con Team,whose goal is to undermine and destroy theMini-Con Council of Sages.Why? He just likes chaos. He likes bad things, and putting people in mortal peril. For him, the appearance of theUnicron Singularityis just one big party. He's certainly charismatic and fearless... though some whisper that he's just an unknowing figurehead, and thatSunstormis the real driving force of the Team.

Fiction

Cybertroncomic

After Anti-Blaze and his allies worked for six stellar cycles on building an evacuation fleet to flee to the S-K System, Thrust ruined their plans by destroying it entirely in less than an hour.Anti-Blaze, Scythe & Checkpoint's profile

Thrust and an army of insurgent Mini-Cons forged an alliance with some Decepticons to eliminate the Mini-Con colony on one of Cybertron's moons. Hidden in the debris between two of Cybertron's moons was a secret base of operations, where Thrust and the others had constructed a cannon that could eliminate the primary colony with one shot. But theMini-Con Council of Sagescaught wind of this plan and contacted the remaining Autobots on Cybertron.Revelations Part 4

The insurgent Mini-Cons were soon engaged in battle withan Optimus Prime,an Ultra Magnus,Sentinel Maximus,Downshift,andSkyfall,which would have been more than they could handle, if Thrust and the others were not secretly allied withUnicronandSoundwave.Unfortunately, the alliance was a sham to draw out Skyfall, who Unicron had designs for, and Unicron quickly turned on them. After Thrust was impaled by one of Unicron's spires, he called for his brethren to retreat.

Thrust himself did not survive, and his limp, gray body still hung from Unicron at battle's end.Revelations Part 5

Notes

• Thrust is consistently drawn with his jet-mode tailfin assembly behind his head, matching his Hasbro stock photography. This is of course a mis-transformation, as the very back end of the jet issupposedto form the toy's chestplate... but hey, it does make him look that little bit more different from other iterations of the mold, so why not?
