Sandstorm is an Autobot from the movie continuity family (via the 2010 Transformers toyline).
I may be a Beachcomber redeco now, but at least I'm not yet another darn redeco of an Evac mold!

Sandstorm was designed to spend long periods of time in the most harsh and forbidding environments imaginable. Earth has nothing to throw at him that he can't laugh off with a smile. Sandstorm requires his partner Private Dedcliff be just as tough. Together they work to hunt Decepticons where no one else can, or would want to, go. Even in the most remote areas of the planet there's no place to hide from this team.[1]

Toys

[edit]

Transformers (2010)

[edit]
  • Sandstorm (Legends Class, 2010)
  • Accessories: Spare tire/rifle
Part of the second wave of 2010 Transformers Legends Class figures, Sandstorm is an orange and tan redeco of Universe Legends Beachcomber. He transforms into an off-road buggy of indeterminate model. The spare tire and gun are all one piece and are removable for no obvious purpose, as his robot mode lacks any way of mounting the piece in any remotely useful way.
He was part of the Hunt for the Decepticons promotion.

Dark of the Moon

[edit]
If Decepticons are hiding in a Glaswegian pub toilet after Curry Night, they're your guys!
  • Private Dedcliff / Sandstorm (Human Alliance Basic, 2011)
  • TakaraTomy ID number: DA23
  • Accessories: Gun
  • Known designers: Andrew Scribner (deco artist)
Part of the first wave of Dark of the Moon Human Alliance Triple Changer figures, Sandstorm has two different alternate modes. His vehicle mode is a one-man assault buggy, and he also turns into a gun platform which is compatible with MechTech toys. Sandstorm has C joint-compatible bars, and is armed with a gun with a C joint clip. His human partner figure, Private Dedcliff, can be seated on him in either of his modes.
This mold was also used to make Dark of the Moon Half-Track.

Notes

[edit]
  • Until the Dark of the Moon toy was released, Sandstorm's Legends class toy had nothing to link the character to any specific continuity. Both toys share the same Tech Spec numbers and a similar vehicle mode.
