When Thunder comes to my mind, I can't help but think about how he has never had a proper update. One of the defining characteristics of the figure is the dual antennae and the face shield. While Hasbro did do a Sgt. Thunderblast as an update in 2009, this version lacked the antennae and so seemed incomplete to me. In designing this figure, I tried to stay true to the original figure while updating it to the modern construction. The antennae were a must and were constructed using the original Thunder head gear. I intentionally kept him relatively simple and in a subdued color palette, because a heavy artillery man, in my opinion, is not one for a flashy uniform or excessive gear. He gets his satisfaction from the concussive blasts and the resultant destruction.
