:''Overcast is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Energon (franchise)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Overcast''' doesn't share the love of adventure his brother [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] has. In fact, Overcast refused to get involved in the war with the [[Decepticon]]s, and vanished for centuries, exploring the cosmos... until one of his favorite planets was consumed by [[Unicron]]. Realizing that [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] was working to restore the monster, Overcast reluctantly returned to his brother and took up arms in order to prevent Unicron's rebirth.

He may not ''like'' fighting, but that doesn't mean he's not ''good'' at it. He's got his brother's speed and strength, and a considerable amount of skill in combat.

*'''Overcast''' (Mega, 2005)

: A [[redeco]] of the ''Energon'' Jetfire toy (and part of the final assortment of ''Energon'' toys), Overcast transforms into a Cybertronic space shuttle. In this mode he has a working spring-activated gripper-claw, plus a spring-loaded missile launcher mounted under his nosecone, which becomes a hand-held weapon. When transforming him to robot mode, pushing his haed/neck plate down onto the torso activates the classic "transformation" sound effect. His left shoulder-armor has a [[spark crystal]] that can be used as a mounting point for an [[energon chip]].

: As a [[Powerlinx]] combiner, Overcast can also form the upper or lower half of a super-robot, compatable with most Deluxe or Mega-class Autobot ''Energon'' toys.

: A slightly deco-tweaked version of this toy was used to make the "Sonic" upgrade of Jetfire in the [[Takara]] ''Super Link'' line.

==Trivia==
* Overcast has oddly non-symmetrical deco as far as his arms go. His right arm has an off-white-painted grill, with unpainted off-white plastic as the outer panel of his forearm. The left arm, however, has a silver-painted grill, with the outer panel on the forearm also painted in silver, plus a small red application on a raised area. What the dillio is, is unknown.

* There is conflicting data with the show and the toy. Acording to the show Overcast is just "Energon Jetfire" not a different charicter.
