Thundercracker (Armada)

Armada / Micron Legend Anime
There is no "Thundercracker" character found in the animated series. Technically, the toy does appear as Starscream. Certain characters are given upgrades and new color schemes in the series. This includes Starscream who gains a new, mostly blue appearance. While all other characters were given the "Powerlinx" prefix when the redecoed toys were released in the United States (example: Cyclonus becomes Powerlinx Cyclonus), the "Powerlinx Starscream" was released as "Thundercracker." This is due to the new version's connection with the Generation 1 Thundercracker. G1 Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp were the same toy with different color schemes and vastly different animated and comic book personas. As far as the Armada / Micron Legend anime goes, Thundercracker is Powerlinx Starscream.
