It is constructed from a Shipyard in-game. It's primary function is off-shore bombardment and can deliver heavy damage to all units (including airborne units) and structures.
WAR OF THUNDER PC
In the 1998 PC game Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds, the Thunder Child can be constructed as an Ironclad warship. The cover portrays a Canopus-class battleship engaging the Martian tripod. The Album cover of the 1978 version does not accurately portray the novel's description. The Thunder Child successfully Sacrificed it Self and Protects the steamer which is evacuating the population including the narrator's wife, Carrie. The Thunder Child successfully rams one of the three fighting machines, cutting it down, but is sunk When it's taken Damage by the Heat ray of the other two While the Martians Concentrate all Fire on Thunder Child With all Heat Ray Fire Tearing through it's Hull. (The Pendragon Pictures' film also portrays this). In the musical the Thunder Child fires her guns as she approaches the tripods, instead of ramming them first. In Jeff Wayne's musical version of the novel, the attack of the Thunder Child is reversed from the book. Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War Of The Worlds The only War of the Worlds adaptation other than the Pendragon Pictures film to feature the Thunder Child was the Jeff Wayne's Musical Adaptation. The 19 versions completely omit any mention of the Thunder Child. The battle is reversed, much like the Jeff Wayne's version, where the ship fires its cannon before ramming the tripod. The film wrongly portrays the vessel as a Havock-class destroyer. The Thunder Child has only appeared in the Pendragon Pictures version of the War of the Worlds. It was also noted as being so low in the water that it appeared to be waterlogged. The ship is described as a huge ironclad with several guns and twin funnels. 2.2 Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War Of The Worlds.
