and then searched the net for the thunder horse I came to a mythical creature created by wizards for knights to ride in sky battles. well I found out that there are a bit of pictures for a thunderhorse reference so I thought of what the sky looks like when there is a storm brewing
so its dark blue and lightning is white? (but I prefer to make it yellow) but anyway I made the frame white :) so thats where I got the scheme. Now for the additional parts the big booster because of the concept thunder horse the horse had wings to fly with now I just noticed that the unicorns back pack is very simple so I made a big thrusters and 2 pairs of mounted bfgs that also turn into destroy mode when the main unit transforms.

for the bfg I dunno it just came to me and I wanted to build one hehe
most of the sb parts has lego parts inside it so there could be equality (haha Im lazy to measure things) and also made the dio out by scratchbuilding everything in it I admit it is not orginal as I copied the diorama of kenny lim's trinity well there are some days I wished I made an original concept..but anyway Im happy because I was able to do this :)

and now without further ado here is my rx-6 thunderhorse I got consolation prize at GBWC2011
I think I want to pass for the year 2012 for some reason though..

Thunder Horse:
As the armies of the Western Empire was about to close on an Elven village ahead of them. A roar of Thunder off in the distance could be heard and flashes of lighting could be seen.
Out of the cloud of dust that was following emerged a group of twenty riders clad in armor and riding horses that look like demons from hell itself as lighting bolts were emerging from their hooves every time their hooves hit the ground.
As the riders came closer lighting bolts shoot out of their eyes. As the archers of the western empire shoot arrows at the approaching party a wall of electricity appeared to block the riders from any harm that was heading their way.
The wizards on the other side try using magic against them by summoning demons to attack the riders
but when the demons try to scare and attack them this only made the mounts even madder cause this mounts were magically engineered for fighting and as part of their alterations anything that normally scares most people or animals only
causes the beast aggressive nature to become more aggressive and attack what ever it is that cause the problem.
As the battle continued on the western empire soldiers that were left learned why the mounts were called what they were.

The Thunder Horses were a magically engineered byproduct of the great war tens of thousands of years ago. This war was fought between the various races of the Palladium World against the Old Ones.
The Thunder Horse are considered by many to not really be horses. They are magical creatures similar in nature to the Unicorn, Pegasus, and Dragondactyl.
It was thought that the Thunder Horses had gone extinct but they have been just recently discovered roaming the forest and plains in what had been the Old Kingdom and in the Land of the South Winds.
These horses are very intelligent and very aggressive.
The are also very hard to trained and raise but once they bond to their owners they are very loyal. The new Elven kingdom are the only ones with a large numbers of these horses.

haha thank you for viewing! :D
