Name: Thunder Gender: Refered as male Species: Hippoid, (Solus Robotics Grand Prix Racer, prototype No. 64000 ). Build date: 17/12/2023 Personality: Easygoing and friendly, just like his organic counterpart.
SUMMARY
This Thunder is the robotic counterpart of the organic (and original) version. A Machine only made for high speed racing.
MAIN DESCRIPTION
A prototype commissioned by the Equestrian Racing Championship Federation (EQRCF), following the example of one of their greatest racers back in the day.
It is powered by the brand new version of Racing Artificial Intelligence (2.5). The machine learns fast and outperforms organic pony racers and human racers alike.
The design, provided by TrackheadTheRoboPony , is a combination of a hi-tech and beauty. Thunder is considered as the most powerful racing hippoid that outperfoms any racing hippoid in the line.
His normal mode shares the aesthetic of the organic animal, with some delicated redesigns on a scrapped N3000 model commsioned for Solus themselves. For the mane they used microscopic shape-shifting carbon fibre to build certain part of the vehicle.
As for the tail, which is made by holo-matter that doesn’t glow unlike the standard Acceron models, is used to resemble the organic tail. It dissapears once it transforms into vehicle.
On his sides, there are special bended pipes that ressembles the pegasus’ wings, and it rapidly transforms into side spoilers and exhausts (duh)
The limbs is connected with a set of 4 tires provided by Yohmyoy. Despite of the size difference between the rear and the front wheels, once it transforms, the size of the tires will be balanced.
Thunder also hides a powerful fan on his crotch area, whose purpose is boosting the acceleration by eliminating air resistance underneath it. A surpise element extracted from the Gordon Murray T.50 model.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION
His vehicle mode is a futuristic racing hypercar based on the combination of the Buggati Bolide and the Devel Sixteen, things will go wild as you read the description. The Solus Acceron GP.R is unique in all it’s senses.
This is the only model ever made, a distant relative to the OG Acceron models. Built for high speed racing and extreme grip. It doesn’t have a wing, or does it? Well… it doesm but it’s an active wing, and it lifts up when it’s speed is over 250 km/h
Thunder’s vehicle powerhouse is a custom WR16 Hybrid engine named Hades, which provides wicked 7000 HP, delivered to all the 4 wheels. The acceleration is way greater than the Acceron Zaffire (blue), as he can reach more than 650 km/h (+404 mph) in just 8 seconds, even on rough roads. SunRacer doesn’t stand the chance.
For legal reasons, during racing sessions, the model has been homologated, and it’s top speed has decreased to 420 km/h. So if you want him to reach that high speed of 650 km/h, use the Hyper mode.
The Thighs and shoulders, which are the super slick Yohmyoy tires, rapidly transforms into well balanced wheels that provides extreme grip thanks to it’s special compound and the downforce provided by the chassis itself.
