Siren of the Squad: THUNDERBLAST

(Deluxe Class, $9.99, 2006)

• (+)Has some of the best articulation of the line, being incredibly flexible for all manner of silly poses
• (+)Has an impressive weapon that still works with other figures, despite the unconventional way she holds it
• (-)Her transformation is literally just her alt-mode splitting in half, and it's quite fiddly.

The circumstances being purchasing her are completely uninteresting. What IS interesting is that I was dead convinced that her boat-mode would actually float, and thus took her to many a pool and bathtub. She never floated, however, and I feel stupid for ever thinking such a thing would be possible.

The founder and commanding officer of the Decepticrew. A master of military strategy and psychological warfare, Thunderblast uses her brain to whip her underlings into shape and her targets into a fine red paste. Her personality is unapologetically flamboyant, a poetically-driven girly girl which is a fine hiding place for her guile and genius.
