I realise you're excited by his return in Lost Light #10 but the world does not revolve around Getaway who only has 3 versions anyway, so don't pretend that it does!

But the lightening isn't in the foot or the savory biscuit. It is too much to be a coincidence

Biscuit = game = soggy biscuit game. Seaspray. -Ralph I *almost* am tempted to make this week Seaspray because of that well reasoned argument! But it isn't. This has cost me money, I went online to see how much a recent version of this character was - not the most recent, that's on my desk already - and ended up buying one even though I suspect there may be a newer version shortly!

Thunderwing? Have there been 5? www.tfu.info/2007/Autobot/Thunderwing/thunderwing.htmMega Pretender, Generations deluxe *, Titans Return Titanmaster, 3 Armada/Universe Minicons ** and a Classics Minicon * + United ** + a dimension X version of the Japanese version with a different name 3 of them are specifically THE Thunderwing. I think only Bludgeon of the Pretenders has had more versions! Bludgeon has 7, Metalhawk & Blackshadow also have 3, Octopunch has 2. I think that's it for Pretender remakes

Spelling check!
Is this lightening as in to lighten something, or lightning as in bolts of electricity from the sky?

Thursday Tease: This week the lightening isn't underfoot or in a savory biscuit Most people got that Lightning was drawing you towards Thunder. A savory biscuit is a cracker, so not Thundercracker A foot is a hoof, so not Thunderhoof either! Thunderwing is the most prominent name in the remaining Thunder toys

Not remotely in the running: Thunder Mayhem. It's not clear from the fiction if it's meant to be Thunderwing or not but by the looks of the toy that's what they were aiming at..... and missing. Using a green military transporter as a body didn't help but the real let down is the abysmal head, a problem on several late club toys :-( This would have been better done with Silverbolt or Cyclonus (or givn time and extra moulds, Starcream) as the body, repainted in grey and purple as Thunderwing with a new head representing the inner robot form and have the combined mode head as the Pretender head. 5) Classics MiniconClearly a "hold onto the name copyright" release, this is actually one of the better Classics Minicons 4) Air Military MiniconThe Stealth Bomber/Shuriken minicon. Nice, but the all black X-Dimension Micron repaint is better. 3) Siege on Cybertron TitanmasterThunder Mayhem is a bad head Thunderwing, this is much better, shame I can't put it on the larger toy, though it'd be a bit small there. Yeah he needs a body. I can see Thunderwing following as a Blackshadow retool at some stage. 2) GenerationsIt was a struggle to decide which came top. In the end this came 2nd, but not before a research trip to eBay had caused me to rebuy it. It follows the convention of Deluxe robot with shell's head turns into vehicle mode but works here because the shell has a vehicle mode, unlike Skullgrin. Another good head Thunderwing. Scale it up, give it a Titanmaster head that can sit in the cockpit and I'll be happy. 1) 1989 Mega PretenderI've got a soft spot for all 3 Mega Pretenders. Inner robots that transform and outer shells that also Transform and combine with the inner robot's vehicle to form a larger vehicle mode. Wish I'd bought them all at the time and wish I had them now. £££ due to his comic appearances. Sadly this is not a Thunderwing with a good head on his Pretender Shell :-(
