:''Sunstorm is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Sunstorm''' has turned out different in different universes. Sometimes he's a powerful but dim thug, in others he's a clever strategist, but you'll always end up finding him doing the dirty work for [[Megazarak (Armada)|some totally]] [[Unicron|horrible bastard]]. But at least he says his prayers every night!

He's not to be confused with the ''other'' [[Sunstorm (Mini-Con)|Sunstorm]] in the [[Aurex|same]] [[universal stream]]s. 

==Fiction==
===3H comics===
A version of the smart Sunstorm was one of [[Megazarak (Armada)|Megazarak]]'s loyal inner circle. {{storylink|OTFCC: Official Convention Souvenir Guide|Megazarak's ''Universe'' profile}}

During the [[Universe War]], ''another'' version of the smart Sunstorm showed up with very little explanation and tried to kill a bunch of Autobots. {{storylink|Voice Actor Drama}}

===Force of Habit===
A version of thug Sunstorm participated in a [[Decepticon]] attack on the ''[[Iron Hope (Cybertron)|Iron Hope]]'' during the [[Unicron Singularity]] crisis. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
Sunstorm and his fellow servants of Megazarak hailed from [[Aurex 304.0 Epsilon]]. 

Meanwhile, the strategist Sunstorm of [[Aurex 105.15 Gamma]] was the brother of [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] but, unlike his brother, he was a cultist obsessed with the mythical [[Last Autobot|Ultimate Warrior]]; instead of being involved in the war on Earth or against [[Unicron]], he was off fighting a religious war in the [[Mirtonian constellation|Mirtonian Star Quadrant]]. When he learned from Thrust's Mini-Con partner, [[Inferno (Armada)|Inferno]], that [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] had killed his brother, he vowed revenge... only to learn Galvatron had himself died in the [[The Unicron Battles|Unicron Battles]]. Desperate, he prayed to the Ultimate Warrior to help him get revenge and Unicron answered, promising he would resurrect Galvatron for a beating if Sunstorm fought for him in the [[Universe War]].

This was considered a really good deal and he became a massive Unicron zealot. Among other things, he captured the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team]] of [[Aurex 604.24 Gamma]] and used their Servility Program to brainwash them for a time. But when Unicron began to lose the War, Sunstorm demanded he get Galvatron now. The tyrant was indeed resurrected in a new body...

And Galvatron kicked his ass.

Sunstorm died cursing Unicron and the Ultimate Warrior as Galvatron walked off with Inferno. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime}}

===Universe===
* '''Sunstorm with Inferno and Street Action Mini-Con Team''' (Decepticon Jet, 2004)
[[File:UniverseSunstorm.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
: A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] toy, Sunstorm transforms into a bright orange [[wikipedia:F-35_Lightning_II|F-35 Lightning II]] fighter jet. He was available only as part of a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] set which also included the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' incarnations of [[Inferno (Armada)|Inferno]], [[Grindor (Armada)|Grindor]], [[High Wire (Armada)|High Wire]], and [[Sureshock (Armada)|Sureshock]]. Unusually, Sunstorm's card art is in Thrust's deco. The Mini-Cons are likewise printed in their original color schemes, rather than the deco used on the actual toys.

==Notes==
* These two Sunstorm toys used to be seen as separate characters but in 2015, "Ask Vector Prime" retconned that ''Universe'' Sunstorm is also a [[Unicron Trilogy]] character. Two characters from the same franchise with very different looks and personalities? '''Welcome to Transformers.'''
* Sunstorm may have beem the first "new" character to the standard-retail-release ''Legends of Cybertron'' assortment, depending on whether the Ramjet is [[Ramjet (Universe)|''Universe'' Ramjet]].
