The name or term "Overcast" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Overcast (disambiguation).
Overcast is a Gigantion Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
How do you type with missiles for hands?

Overcast is the leader of the Giant Planet Mini-Con Team, a gang of Gigantion Mini-Con rebels. His self-image is incredibly over-inflated, even though his main goal in life seems to be little more than to cause trouble for others through pranks and vandalism. A classic bully, he bullies his teammates as well, mostly the spineless Deepdive. After all, Longarm can pound him into the dirt.[1]

Toys

Cybertron

  • Giant Planet Mini-Con Team (Scout-class, 2006)
    • Accessories: 2 missiles
Part of the final new-mold Scout set of the Cybertron line, Overcast transforms into a modified Martin P6M SeaMaster flying boat bomber. He has pressure-launch missile launchers under both wings which become his robot-mode arms. He was only available with his teammates Deepdive and Longarm. Their packaging marks them as Decepticon-allied, though the toys do not have any faction symbols other than the sculpted Mini-Con sigil.
This mold was also used to make Astro-Line and Transformers (2010) Airlift. The hypothetical Blue Max would've used this mold, but there's no evidence that figure was ever intended for release in the first place.
