If bright colors are nature's way of saying "Do not touch", then nature's got nothin' on '''Sunstorm'''.  Come too close, and circuits will short, steel housing will begin to melt, and psyches will break as the mind struggles to comprehend. If you ask scientists why this is, they'd explain that his body is aflame in radiation.

The name or term "Sunstorm" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Sunstorm (disambiguation).
Sunstorm is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
File:Sunstormg1.jpg
"We didn't start the fire, it was always burning since Cybertron's been turning."

If bright colors are nature's way of saying "Do not touch", then nature's got nothin' on Sunstorm. Come too close, and circuits will short, steel housing will begin to melt, and psyches will break as the mind struggles to comprehend. If you ask scientists why this is, they'd explain that his body is aflame in radiation.

However, if you were to ask Sunstorm, he would reply that he is the living embodiment of the Will of Primus, placed by the divine in this universe to deal righteous judgment on the blasphemous. His judgment is swift, painful, relentless, and punctuated with the recitation of Holy Writ. His power is only surpassed by his conviction.

Chances are, this version is not Sunstorm, even taking into consideration the haphazard coloring typically given to generic Seekers.</div>

Toys

Generation 1

  • Sunstorm (Decepticon Jet, 2003)
Japanese ID number: 89
File:SunstormToy.jpg
Creamsicle creamseeker.
Sold only in a separately-packaged-toys set with Roadhauler exclusive to e-Hobby, Sunstorm is a redeco of the original Starscream toy, transforming into an F-15 fighter jet. His coloration is inspired by—but not wholly accurate to for a variety of reasons—a previously-unnamed "generic" Decepticon seen in the episode "More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1".
The same base mold is used by Dirge, Ramjet, Skywarp, Thrust, and Thundercracker.
  • Sunstorm (Decepticon Jet, 2009)
E-Hobby reissued Sunstorm in February, 2009. This release includes a mini-comic featuring the character.

Titanium Series

  • Sunstorm (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
Titanium Series Sunstorm is a redeco of War Within Thundercracker, transforming into a Cybertronian "tetrajet" as reimagined by Don Figueroa. As with all 6-inch Titanium Cybertron Heroes, he is constructed mostly of fully painted die-cast metal.
This mold was also used to make War Within Starscream and Skywarp.



Merchandise

A Heroes of Cybertron version of Sunstorm was given as a freebie to people who pre-registered at OTFCC 2003 for next year's OTFCC 2004. He was later made available for sale through the 3H website. A repaint of the mold used to make Starscream and the other Seekers in the Heroes of Cybertron line, Sunstorm's colors are inspired by the e-Hobby toy, but given more variety in its shades of orange.
