Siege on Cybertron Thunderwing

Siege on Cybertron's Titanmaster Thunderwing uses the same die cast metal chest as Rodimus Prime with a new faceplate and limbs & head taken from the Fangry Titanmaster. The arms are lavender, legs black chest white and head blue, so the aim here with the figure is to make it look as much like Pretender Thunderwing's Inner Robot as possible. The head mode looks more like Generations Thunderwing than the original putting it on the top 50% of Thunderwing heads: the last Thunderwing head, used on TFSS 5.0 Thunder Mayhem, was a disaster!

The Siege on Cybertron set highlights a Strength Set Logo and just like the Speed Logo on Chaos on Velocitron led top Rodimus Prime's power being "Ultimate Speed Boost", the List of Titanmasters found on the Trypticon Cereal Box reveals Thunderwing's Power to be "Ultimate Strength Boost", which given Thunderwing is traditionally shown as a strong Transformer makes some sense.

There's no Thunderwing Titans Return to to pair him with, though I've seen several photos using him as a replacement head for The Last Knight Nitro which makes sense as he's a jet who doesn't have his own Titanmaster. With Rodimus Prime having been unveiled as a Power of the Primes leader and Thunderwing appearing on the Power of the Primes fan vote some have seen the boxset heads as a hint to the identity of Power of the Primes leaders. Personally I'm a little surrprised that Thuderwing wasn't done as a leader in Titans Return as a retool of Sky Shadow just as his original toy Blackshadow and his Generations successor were a retool of Thunderwing and his Generations version. Of course if they went down that route the Titanmaster there would end up supplying the face, which would then be surrounded by a helmet to boost it to leader size, rather than being the whole head like this one is.
