Thunderlane is one o the many pegasi who trained to generate the tornado in "Hurricane Fluttershy" To transfer the rain water to Cloudsdale. However, on the day of the actual event, he was too sick to help and was in Ponyville hospital with the feather flu.

He also had a minor appearance in "Wonderbolt Academy" as one of the recruits, where he saves Rarity when she falls from the hot air balloon.

His cutie mark is a storm cloud with a lightning bolt descending from it.
