History[]
Omniverse[]
He was first seen in The More Things Change: Part 2, as a member of Psyphon's Gang. He was instantly defeated by Armodrillo.
In Special Delivery, he came to Ben's house and tried to kill him for eating his father. Ben said that he is not the person he is looking for and defeated him as Echo Echo.
In Rad, someone threw him and Bug-Lite out of the Black Hole.
In Mud Is Thicker Than Water, he, along with the other thugs, attacked a Plumber Ship. Later, with the other members of Psyphon's gang, he received highly advanced Plumber Tech from Gorvan. After the Plumbers and Ben arrived, he was defeated by Crashhopper.
In Cough It Up, he, along with several other bounty hunters, was hired by Psyphon to get him a precious item. He was defeated by Spidermonkey and later banned from Undertown by Argit.
In Blukic and Driba Go to Area 51, he escaped from his cell and attacked Ben for eating his father. He was defeated by Luhley.
In No Honor Among Bros, he defeated the Bouncer at the Golden Fist Tournament but didn't make it to the finals. He was later amazed by Blowfeld's strength.
In Universe vs. Tennyson, he got out from jail thanks to Chadzmuth but was taken back after Perk Upchuck ate his flail and spit it onto him. Before they could have put him back to his cell, Chadzmuth helped him once again, much to Ben's annoyance.
In Clyde Five, he and Liam attacked Ben, Rook and Clyde to get back the Mark 5 Nanoshift Enabled Exo-Armor. After Clyde rubbed Liam's neck and made him fall asleep, Thunderpig started to panic and stated that Clyde was a wizard. He grabbed Liam and ran away.

- Thunderpig's flail closely resembles the flail belonging to the Dinobot Swoop from Transformers Animated.
- When asked where Thunderpig obtained his flail, Derrick J. Wyatt jokingly stated that he got it from Dinobot Island.[DJW 2]
- Liam probably told him that Ben ate his father.[DJW 3]
- He understands the Sotoraggians' language, since he was shown talking to them in the Black Hole. He was also impressed by what EightEight said when she tried to get Argit.[3]
- Thunderpig is similar to Lion-O from ThunderCats. They wear the same warrior outfit, though the symbol on Thunderpig's belt is a black warthog in a red background instead of a black panther.
- In some his appearances, Thunderpig charges up his mace yelling "Thunder, thunder, THUNDERPIG!", while Lion-O is famous for yelling "Thunder, thunder, THUNDERCATS!" as he charges his sword.
- The way he greets Ben is similar to Inigo Montoya from the popular book/film The Princess Bride.
