6	----
7	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Gets distracted easily when on missions.
8	* AttentionWhore: Is shown to be one during the episodes ''Upgrades'' and ''Road Trip,'' where he gets dangerous upgrades just to get people to like him more than Thunder, and soaks up all the praise he gets in the new city where everyone is a fan of him.

10	* BorrowedCatchphrase: Does this to Thunder during the episode ''Upgrades.''

25	* RedIsHeroic: He's painted red, and also does heroic deeds.
26	* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Thunder's Blue Oni. While Shiny's general approach to fighting kaiju is to go with his gut and is very energetic, Thunder takes a more logical and planned-out approach and is usually very stoic.

39	* AIGettingHigh: During one episode, Thunder comes into contact with toxic chemicals from a Kaiju burrow. It has a considerable effect on his reasoning, to the point where he acts "high."

46	** "Affirmative."
47	* ByTheBookCop: Thunder is a stickler for procedure.
48	* ColdHam: Though he does not speak in an overly-emotional manner like Shiny, his language is rather verbose and a little dramatic; therefore, he qualifies for this trope.

58	* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Shiny's Red Oni, with paint schemes to match. Thunder takes a calm and logical approach to fighting off kaiju, and while not sporting blue he wears a light gray, while Shiny, painted red, goes with his gut and is very energetic.

60	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Thunder tends to speak quite verbosely.

63	* TheComicallySerious: Thunder reacts to even the most absurd of situations with at most mild snark, which can be pretty funny at times.

90	* BenevolentBoss: He takes the welfare of his crew seriously, but never forgets the needs of the many either.
