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 packaged with Air Raid as a Walmart exclusive Black Friday release for 2009.
- The movie release of this toy was repurposed as Shattered Glass Seaspray. This mold was also used to make the unreleased 2010 Transformers toy Undertow.
