The Transformers Hailstorm toy doubles as a movieverse character and as a Generation 1 character.

Part of the second wave of the 2010 Transformers toyline, Hailstorm transforms into a multiple rocket launcher of undetermined model. In both modes, he has a pair of positionable pressure-launch missile launchers, with each one containing four missiles. Each launcher also has a c joint bar on the top to attach additional weaponry to. Although he has holes in his fists, they're not really 5mm post compatible.

This toy was retooled to make Mindset.
