Little is notable about Duststorm, except for his ability to form a limb of the powerful Constructicon Maximus and perhaps other combiners, and the hard-to-pronounce "stst" phoneme in his English name. He was one of the few to survive the great battle between the combiners, late in the Energon wars,outliving his own team leader Steamhammer through what was either ghoulish treachery or ingenious improvisation on Storm Jet's part. It all depends on your point of view.

Fiction

Energon cartoon continuity

Duststorm was never seen as an individual, only as a limb to the larger combiner robots. Ripoff.

Sure, he looks awkward, but his long-distance wedgies are lethal.

Duststorm, identical in mold to his teammate Wideload, transforms into a truck-mounted mobile crane. He can also form a leg or arm to any Energon-series "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot, though his nominal placement is as the left arm of Constructicon Maximus. He comes with a giant claw for clawing things, which can be wielded in hand or affixed to his boom, and a blue "super energon" Decepticon-style energon star.
