| The name or term "Jetstorm" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Jetstorm (disambiguation). |
- Jetstorm is a Predacon from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 Continuity family.
Jetstorm is another in a line of disgusting insect Predacons. Regurgitated toxins spew forth from his mouth at any enemy in his way. Air-to-air missiles give him supreme sky superiority, which he absolutely revels in. Jetstorm is an elitist snob who prefers to stay "above" the battle at all times, disgusted by those squabbling on the ground below. The appearance of Jetstorm's dragonfly mode captivates the enemy's attention, distracting them long enough for him to show off his powers of destruction.
In other words, he's butt-ugly, but functionally butt-ugly.
- Spanish name: Alguacil

Beast Wars
- Jetstorm (Deluxe, 1997)
- Accessories: 2 missiles
- Jetstorm transforms into an organic dragonfly. His beast mode's inner head (which is his robot-mode head) features a water-squirting gimmick with an internal bellows located in his tail. His dragonfly tail conceals a pair of spring-out spring-loaded missile launchers that swing forward at the push of a button. These launchers are available in robot mode as well, but due to their construction fire mostly upwards.
