| This article is about the hovercraft from the 2007 movie franchise. For the hovercraft from Universe, see Storm Surge (Universe). |
- Storm Surge is a Decepticon from the Transformers portion of the movie continuity family.
Storm Surge is a bad guy, apparently hiding out in Sector Seven's naval vehicle pool. He is well known for his tendency to attack literally everything in a fight. Corrosive salt blasts, napalm, depth charges...no Autobot avoids getting hit by these in a fight with him. Neither do his fellow Decepticons. This is in large part because Storm Surge doesn't believe in aiming. He believes that if he discharges a lot of ammo over a lot of ground, he's more likely—not guaranteed, just more likely—to hurt the opposition.

Toys
[edit]Transformers (2007)
[edit]
- Storm Surge (Scout Class, 2008)
- Accessories: Pistol, Cybertron Decepticon Cyber Key
- A redeco of Cybertron Shortround, Transformers Storm Surge transforms into a Sector Seven hovercraft. Inserting a Cyber Key into his key jack swings a pair of (non-firing) torpedo racks up into firing position. This gimmick is available in both vehicle and robot modes. There is also a small, non-firing gun that can be held in either of his claws or can be mounted on the top of his hovercraft mode.
- During transformation, snapping the torso into place forces the head up, making it easier to twist into place. He also has wheels on the underside of his vehicle mode, allowing him to be rolled on smooth surfaces.
- Storm Surge was part of the fourth wave of live-action movie toyline Target-exclusive Scout Class toys (this wave branded with the "AllSpark Power" subline), and was also sold as a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand.
- In 2009, this toy was rereleased in the Walmart Black Friday exclusive Universe "War of the Waves" two-pack as Storm Surge, and was later repurposed as Shattered Glass Seaspray. This mold was also used to make the unreleased 2010 Transformers line Undertow, and was the basis of the non-toy "Theft of the Golden Disk" version of Beast Wars Scorponok.
Notes
[edit]- Storm Surge was "revealed" in Target's online catalogue when his pictures were accidentally put on the page for the Star Wars Transformers General Grievous toy. Whoops.
- The only faction symbol on Storm Surge's body is a Sector Seven mark. His Key, however, bears the Decepticon sigil.
- Chris Mowry had plans to use Storm Surge in Transformers: Alliance, but the idea didn't end up happening.[1]
