"There are no rules on the road -- only the victors and the scrap metal."

By far the most agile of the land-based generals, the Vehicon Thrust is a lethal adversary against any Maximal.  Extreme speed and shrewd handling make him a hard target.  Subdued personality is a mystery -- disposition reeks of a "rebel without a cause."  The only General not intimidated by Megatron -- always seems to know the correct thing to say.  It is rumored that he hosts the spark of the former Predacon Waspinator.  Outfitted with an enormous amount of firepower: fires energy pulses by spinning his front wheel while popping a wheelie.  In Robot Mode: one arm functions as a rapid-fire energy pulse weapon, the other a grappling hook.   Cares for nothing but himself; often heard muttering the nihilistic phrase "to think is to say no."

His Robot Mode, however, suffer a bit.  It's usually quite difficult to get a perfectly balanced toy that looks great in both modes (more on that in the Blackarachnia review), and more often than not one mode suffers.  Thrust's rear wheels simply have no place to go unless you employ his three-wheeled mode, which provides him with a stability that his unicycle or "feet" modes do not.  The Vehicle Head can be pulled off for a more show-accurate look, but there's no other place to put it, so it can get lost easily if you are prone to doing this.  Thrust's neck is abnormally long in order to accommodate his transformation, so leaving the Vehicle head on is recommended.

The biggest problem I see here is that nothing really locks into place, and so the transformation to Robot Mode is rather unintuitive, leaving you with a sense of "oh, it's *supposed* to look like that?" after you read the instructions, something I NEVER like to do unless it's a more complex and highly superior Japanese-designed toy.   His shoulders are simply too low, and his feet are wobbly at the ankles (assuming you even use the feet), so he has a habit of swaying back and forth.  Not a bad Vehicon, but definitely not the best.  Oh, and he's really tall.  Taller than Tankorr.
