"Hey, why do I look so weird over there?"

Acid Storm was joined by Thrust in an attempt to recover the scout ship that Windblade and Bumblebee had stolen. Windblade was able to take off before they could infiltrate the ship, and a dogfight ensued, with the two Seekers being joined by their commander Slipstream. Acid Storm's assistance in the fight was short-lived, however, as ze and Thrust were taken out of the fight when Windblade discovered the ship's armament array, a brace of missiles sending the two subordinate Seekers spiraling down to Earth.

Lives up to the title of "the green guy".

• Acid Storm (Warrior Class, 2018)

Cyberverse Warrior Class Acid Storm is a redeco of Warrior Class Starscream and converts from robot to jet and back. their Action Attack gimmick is activated by winding up a spring in their waist and releasing the upper part of the figure, allowing it to spin and flip out its spring-loaded wing blades with centrifugal force. The waist can be locked in place by pegging their landing gear onto a peg on their backside. Additionally, ze has non-firing Null Ray blasters molded into her forearms with 5 mm post hole hands.

While their arms have articulation comparable to other Cyberverse Warrior Class toys, Acid Storm has the unusual distinction of having their hip swivels molded together, meaning the front-to-back movement is in tandem. Ze also lacks knees, likely due to their whole legs being cast from the same green plastic. Despite this otherwise restricted movement, ze can splay their legs out to the sides due to hinges on ze hips, allowing splits and high kicks.

This mold was also redecoed into Thundercracker.

Notes

• As with the rest of the Cyberverse cast, Acid Storm presumably uses an evergreen design inspired by their Generation 1 counterpart.
• Acid Storm's bio on the English Hasbro website uses male pronouns, plus the character illustration (as seen at the top of the article) uses a considerably different color scheme than the cartoon model attributed to Acid Storm in "Terminal Velocity". In this episode, ze speaks with a female voice and female voice actress, but is animated with the male Seeker face. Meanwhile, the Brazilian Portuguese Hasbro site refers to Acid Storm's toy in the feminine, [1] but the French Canadian site uses the masculine.[2] Not to mention that in the ep Teletraan-x they make a masculine laughing noise.
