Um, LOVE your mini Thunder clash story. Can you tell us more? How small is he now? Is his frame a different shape or is he just mini?
Yay! I’m so excited to got into depth about Miniclash/Funsized Thunders!
So the general basis for this is that Thunderclash’s spark is too weak to support his true frame. Thus Brainstorm, Preceptor, Ratchet and Velocity all pitched in and build a frame Thunderclash’s spark could support and recover in.
Thunderclash’s new frame isn’t really small but small enough for Rodimus to hold like a stuffed animal at times. So I want to say he’s just a little shorter then Rodimus’ waist. That’s where I picture him to be but it’s not set in stone.
His frame is pretty much the same without the stuff on his back, without the extra weight on his back struts and such his spark can recover faster. But there’s some huge upsides with his new frame, he has more energy, no more aches (well from his spark ;)), his frame is more sensitive and his tanks are smaller so he doesn’t need to fuel as much. And Rodimus likes the idea of man handling his new fun sized boy friend.
So there’s ups and downs and adjustments Thunderclash needs to get use to, it’s great that Rodimus is there for him, along with some other minis that don’t mind lending a servo.
