Thunderbolt the Chinchilla

"You've given Lord Eggman so much trouble, Sonic. I honestly didn't think you'd fall for our trap so easily. But you won't have to live with the indignity for long. I don't take prisoners!"

- Thunderbolt, Sonic the Hedgehog #264

Thunderbolt is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-off comic series published by Archie Comics. In the Post-Super Genesis Wave timeline, she is an anthropomorphic creature and the Egg Boss of a division of the Soumerca Egg Army stationed on Sonic's World.

Appearance
Thunderbolt is an anthropomorphic creature of an unspecified species. She has a light and short muzzle with long ears, and has wide maniacal eyes and a similar smile. She also has long tufted fur around her neck, though it is unknown if it is her own or a part of her attire. She has cables sticking by both sides of her muzzle.

History
During the Shattered World Crisis, Thunderbolt and her forces managed to recover a Chaos Emerald. As she was about to report to Dr. Eggman of their find, the doctor contacted her. Thunderbolt promised to deliver the Emerald soon, but Eggman ordered her to keep it and use it as bait for the New Freedom Fighters, a plan she took a liking to. Later, Thunderbolt and her Egg Army were entrusted with E-113 Xi. As Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy Rose, and Sally Acorn, along with help from Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel, managed to subdue E-113 Xi, Thunderbolt prepared for "Lord Eggman's plan to destroy the Freedom Fighters. The Freedom Fighters arrived at the Egg Army base, and defeated the badniks there, but were immediately ambushed by Thunderbolt, inside her robotic suit, and her Egg Soldiers. They activated electric projectiles at the heroes, which caused Sonic to succumb to his dark concentration energy, transforming him into the Werehog.

Personality
Extremely loyal to Dr. Eggman, so much so that she address him as "Lord Eggman", Thunderbolt is an obedient commander to Eggman, following through every plan the mad scientist assigns her without questioning its faults. She is also seemingly twisted and malicious as she openly likes Eggman's way of thinking of how to lure enemies into a trap.
