The Sandstorm drones, under the leadership of Sandstorm, are mass-produced clones of Sandstorm.
Fiction
Wings Universe
After the clone Sandstorm's true allegiance and origins were revealed, the Sandstorm drones arrived with Jhiaxus to Cybertron to support their commander. Termination
A squad of Sandstorm drones awaited Jhiaxus’s command to destroy Strika and Obsidian. When they did engage the pair, they ended up not faring too well. A Common Foe
Toys
Machine Wars
- Sandstorm (Mega, 1997)
- Accessories: 2 cannons, rotor blade
- A redeco of the Generation 1 Rotorstorm toy, Sandstorm transforms into a Cybertronian helicopter with a US Air Force roundel added to his helicopter mode. Due to the small missiles of Rotorstorm failing US choke gate tests, the turbine launchers were retooled into non-firing cannons, with no missiles included. A button on the back of the rotor housing drops down both engines/cannons for an "attack mode" feature. In robot mode, Sandstorm has quite restricted articulation, and holds his turbine launchers in his hands. He can also hold his rotor blade as a somewhat odd sword.
- This mold was later redecoed (and given further-retooled launchers) to make Universe (2003) Whirl.
