He retains a very deep blue in accent coloring, primarily a dusted gray, colors that easily remain unnoticed as they don't stand out to eye nor optic. He holds his head high even though his face is usually indifferent, and his shoulders square and proud, even though he feels as though he is a horrible mech. With rounded shoulder pads broken from the spare of his cockpit, as most of it was used on his chest, and a firm and wide jaw, he also has a typical helm. The sides of his chest are made of a good portion of the barrel of the jet, the cockpit compressed into the split barely, reaching down into his waist, where a joint under the metal incorporates it.
His legs incorporate the primary thrust agent of the back of the jet, the upward pointed tail fin splitting vertically in half and reinforcing the leg itself, adding the occasional spike. His wings are stationed firmly on his back, the smaller tail wings slightly below them and in front of them.------------------------------------------------------------------------------YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH

Personality: Thundercracker is a confusing mech, and he prefers to keep to himself. Despite this, there are many unexplored facets of his personality. He is, despite his outward appearance, unsure of his status as a Decepticon, his superiority as a flier one thing that he is truly certain of as a seeker. He does hold some sympathy for humans, believing that Decepticons were made for conquest, not for slaughter, and that humans were not worth their effort, as they are unworthy adversaries.
Despite that, he continues out of obedience to his trine and a respectable amount of fear for Megatron himself, even though he himself has holes in his view of the war.
This doesn't mean he doesn't have a cruel side. In fact, it is the cruel side that bots usually see, not the doubting child that seems to be described above. He is cold and calculating, merciless in combat, and uses a kind of tactic that his commanders seem to not understand. Starscream, his trine leader, thinks to rashly for him at times - but he doesn't say so.
He is a very quiet mech, and prefers to stay to himself at all times. He is a mech of thought and action, few words ever escaping him as he coexists, silently, with the other, more rash, less sensible Decepticons.
He is not a schemer. He doesn't truly trust in the schemes of others, but will help those that ask him, so long as the request isn't too ridiculous, or at a bad time.
He is a mech who believes in a little bit of flight time, who believes in the simple things - a nice, warm day in the sun. Not being bothered by those above him. A calm breeze to allow flitting over his wings. He is not a violent mech, but he does believe in violence to achieve his means, as long as it is necessary.
His philosophy is very confusing, but it is his, nonetheless - he goes by it, through and through.
He does, despite his doubt, follow his trine leader relatively faithfully, despite scoffing at his more erratic plans, and he does understand that his choices have directly affected his future, locking him in, somewhat eternally.
Strengths: Thundercracker holds his strength in his Aerial superiority and his distance from other mechs. He has no emotional ties, and he doesn't depend on others for his help. He holds his own.
Weaknesses: He doubts himself in his cause and, while he doesn't like to talk about his doubt, it does sometimes affect how well he works for the Decepticon cause.------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE SKELETONS IN YOUR CLOSET
Family: His Trine is his only family, and he intends to keep it that way.
History: Thundercracker has always been a bit of a loner, even back before the war. As the war began, Seekers were highly sought after as Decepticon warriors. Thundercracker and his trine, led by Starscream, quickly became the elites. They were the Seekers that defined Seekers everywhere.
And yet, Thundercracker wasn't sure that he had joined the right cause. He was part of many Decepticon missions. He had done horrible things that ascended some of the old fables he'd heard, even in the creative minds of Cybertronians before the war. He no longer believed in the Decepticon cause.
However, as the war went on, Thundercracker understood better and better that his position in the Decepticon ranks was long locked in. He stayed for his trine, and he worked to avoid the pestering of Megatron.
When the war left Cybertron, Thundercracker stayed long enough to ascertain that their main warriors were moderately defended, before taking off after Starscream. It was his fate to stick with the Decepticons for the rest of the war - and so he'd do it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?
Weaponry: Thundercracker has a good arsenal of weapons, being one of the elite seekers. He has the traditional seeker arm canon, in both arms and extended from the shoulder, the long barrel able to build power and accuracy, whereas his left arm can shift into a smaller cannon, better for close range, fast paced assaults. He has a wrist blade in his right arm, as well as an extra pistol tucked into his leg armor.
Extra: Thundercracker is well known for being able to produce a sonic boom load enough to deafen most bots, or at least scramble their sensors. He doesn't use this often, as it draws a lot of attention to him, but it is a useful tool.------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT MEAs he banked to the left, back toward his trine leader, Thundercracker took the chance to feel the air bend to his desire. He loved flying. He hated flying just to bug some bots. That was below him. Not that he'd admit it, of course. With a faint twitch of his wing, he evened out, as the trio flew in close formation.
Skywarp was going on about something, but he himself couldn't bring the willpower to care, or, really, to even attempt to listen. He wasn't exactly in a chatty mood. Or a listeny mood. Or a... anything mood, really. He just wanted to fly.
They had reached their destination and, with a sigh, he followed Starscream as they dove into what would be the battle zone. The 'bots had been searching out a false lead they had planted a day or two ago, and, whoop-dee-doo, they got to be the hunters that went to check the trap. Their bait, however, was marvelously thought out. He had to admit that much to himself...
