what if Thundercracker appears in Earthspark
Would it be interesting if more legacy characters appeared in the show like Jetfire, Ironhide, Jazz, Windblade, Ratchet, Drift and Thundercracker.
I can see Thundercracker getting along with Hashtag pretty well and making a movie together with him being a screenwriter and living on Earth with his pet dog Busters. I heard that Thundercracker didn’t appear with Skywarp because Hasbro didn’t want make Thundercracker a girl so they used Nova Storm instead. Thundercracker doesn’t need a gender swap, it was a miss opportunity to add him.
In the IDW comics Seekers have their story arc. Thundercracker living on Earth as a screenwriter while still working for earth’s government and Starscream is handling politics as a new ruler of cybertron. And Skywarp end up working with GI Joe after leaving the Decepticons which was under the leadership of Galvatron.
I know that Thundercracker and Starscream gets more focus for with Thundercracker deflecting Decepticons and working with Autobots and Starscream well being Starscream, Skywarp was the one loyal to the Decepticons cause as even after work with GI Joe he still remains a soldier.
I want to see an episode where the Terrans meet Thundercracker while looking for ember shards than end up encountering Starscream, Skywarp, and Nova Storm.
I don’t know what Nova Storm relationship with Thundercracker but I feel like their more like distance cousins since Nova Storm came from the Rain makers along with Acid and Ion Storm. Until Nova Storm got separated from her siblings after the space bridge was destroyed so Skywarp took her in as her sister. Due to the falling out of the Elite Seekers, She doesn’t want to be involved with their drama.
And then there’s drama between Thundercracker with his siblings. All three of them used to be close but their falling out was really bad. Starscream try to persuade Thundercracker to rejoin the Decepticons under his leader ship but still refused and the two started arguing which go something like this.
Starscream (SS): I am giving you an opportunity to redeem yourself, “STOP BEING SO SELFISH!!!”
Thundercracker (TC): I’M SELFISH !?!?!? This is exactly why I left, Decepticons were meant to fight for better future for all of us but no all we do nothing but all we had done is destroy worlds and kill each other for what a lost cause or someone’s selfish gain, why do you think I don’t work with G.H.O.S.T!!!!!
Starscream : Things are different with the Decepticons under my leadership we can succeed and take this planet into our own image”
TC: Different? You were a given real second chance not for yourself but the Decepticons to be better person. BUT NO you destroyed that second chance and now you are just drag everyone with it and now you’re are going to drag everyone to accept their fate because of your stupid ego.
Starscream: “WHAT DID SAY YOU” I’ll have you known that I am better leader than what Megatron have given us for the last 4 million years.
Thundercracker: After all these years, I was hoping you can finally turn your life around and stop this pointless goal. And no matter how many chances you were given You haven’t changed at all. You are not better than Megatron was, you are even worse than he was!!!
This would result a fight between the two seeker brothers in a fight. The Terrans try to step in and help Thundercrack but Nova Storm prevents them as she advises them not get involved knowing how bad the seekers falling out was and doesn’t want to get involved. But to their surprise Skywarp step in and break up the fight between her brother. Starscream was not happy that Skywarp defended Thundercracker but as Thundercracker was about to thank her, but ended up getting slapped or punched in the face by her.
Starscream: “HOW DARE YOU GET INVOLVED AND DEFEND THAT TRAITOR”
Skywarp: He’s my brother too you know
Thundercracker: Well since that’s done Thank You SKY - (getting PUNCH 🥊 in the face)
Skywarp: NO DON’T YOU DARE “SKY” ME YOU JERK”, You think I am not mad at you leaving.
Thundercracker: Sky please I am sorry really I am but you need to understand I did what I have to do.
Skywarp: YOU LEFT US, YOU TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT AND ABANDONED OUR FAMILY LIKE WE ARE NOTHING.
Thundercracker: Skywarp I left the Decepticons, it doesn’t mean I stopped being family, Your still my sister.
Skywarp: Thundercracker, you get to walk freely and live out your best life while everyone was starving and struggling to survive, what kind person does that to their own family. Don’t you have any idea what we been through. What does it matter you don’t care anyway.
Thundercracker: I do care and I did everything I could to make sure your taken care of without G.H.O.S.T, the Autobots, and Megatron involve.
Thundercracker: please I know you are angry and you have every right to be, you were given a second chance and you don’t have to work with Starscream, we can have a chance to rekindle your bond….
Skywarp: …. so what so we can be a family again. Don’t you get it Thundercracker, the day you left stopped being one for a long time ago. It’s been easier for you since You and Starscream never wanted to be soldiers in the first place while I already accept what I was built for and nothing more.
Thundercracker: Skywarp I never realized how you.
Skywarp: you are no better than Megatron.
After the drama ends, Starscream, Nova Storm, and Skywarp left, leaving Thundercracker and the Terrans left speechless in an awkward silence. I could parallel the Terrans siblings relationship with the Seekers what could have been if they have a similar falling out. Similar to Gravity Falls where Stanley and Stanford’s relationship parallel with Dipper and Mable since than Stan twins used to be close but also have a falling out through out the years.
