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.

• 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.

In an undocumented feature, as shown to the right, his chest piece can be repositioned to sit flush with his body. The instructions and stock images otherwise have Overcast's chest resting against his crotch. Meanwhile, the joint connecting this piece to his body is gray in stock images, compared to the final product's purple.

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.
