<br />
Despite his intelligence, data gathering skills, and potential charisma, '''Acid Storm''' prefers to wallow in anonymity as just one of the [[Rainmaker]]s, a cadre of specialized [[Seeker]]s who have the capability to manipulate localized weather patterns to create [[acid rain]]. He is a part of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s forces on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].<br />

<br />
When a group of [[Autobot]]s (and [[Chip Chase]]) journeyed to Cybertron to fetch a [[cosmotron]] for a wounded [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Megatron sent the [[Rainmaker]] trio, including Acid Storm, to make things difficult for our heroes with some [[acid rain]].<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*According to [[Hasbro]]'s [[BotCon 2008]] panel, Acid Storm was originally to be named "Rainmaker", then "Acid Rain", but those names didn't clear Legal.<br />
*Acid Storm's ''Universe'' deco was designed by [[Aaron Archer]], a relative rarity for the time given Archer's high hierarchical status within Hasbro.<br />
*Although explicitly based on the green Rainmaker from "Divide and Conquer", Acid Storm's near-fluorescent green in the cartoon was specifically toned down to fit better into the quasi-realism of the 2008 ''Universe'' toyline. <br />
