- One of the final releases in the normal retail 2001 Robots in Disguise series, Storm Jet is a redeco of the Beast Machines Vehicon Jetstorm mold, transforming into a Cybertronic jet fighter. His jet-mode cockpit has a spring-loaded extension, giving him a bird-like head in this form that is articulated at the neck to "search" for targets. Both jet and robot modes feature spring-loaded "energy blast" missiles. He also has an alternate robot mode, which folds his legs into a "flight cone" with revealed jet thrusters. His color scheme bears a resemblance to Jetfire. Interestingly, on the underside of his opaque red spark crystal is a molded Vehicon symbol.
- Although most previous versions of the mold have the wingtips swept forward in vehicle mode (as shown here), Storm Jet was packaged and depicted in his instructions with the wingtips swept back.
- This mold was also used to make the Beast Machines Sonic Attack Jet, Robots in Disguise Jhiaxus, and Universe (2003) Skywarp.
