Nova Storm (ES)

The name or term "Nova Storm" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Nova Storm (disambiguation).

Nova Storm is a Decepticon from the EarthSpark continuity family.

Nova Storm was once part of the elite squad of Decepticons with jet alt-modes called Seekers. Following the war, however, she and her partner Skywarp have fallen on hard times, and are doing whatever it takes to survive... including making some very bad deals with some very shady characters. Nova Storm isn't very thrilled about their current lot, but what else can she do? It beats being in G.H.O.S.T. custody, right?

...right?

Part of the Decepticon army that traveled to Earth, Nova Storm fell under Shockwave's command when Megatron defected to the Autobots. When the Autobots attempted to return the AllSpark to Cybertron, Optimus Prime hitched a ride on Skywarp's jet mode. Though Nova Storm attempted to shoot the Prime off, she instead caused Skywarp to crash. When Megatron claimed the AllSpark, Nova Storm and Starscream tackled him down but failed to prevent him from launching the AllSpark through the space bridge. Warzone

Stranded on Earth following the destruction of the space bridge, Skywarp and Nova Storm fell into the employ of Dr. Mandroid, being ordered to bring him Optimus Prime's left arm. The two attacked Optimus and Megatron at a public relations event at G.H.O.S.T. headquarters, the ensuing brawl being broadcast on live television. The two put up a very good fight, but ultimately ended up in the dirt, Nova staring down the barrel of Megatron's fusion cannon. Skywarp used a moment's distraction to teleport out from beneath Prime's axe, freeing Nova Storm and flying off. Upon returning to an angry Mandroid, the human decided that their next mission would be as bait.

Using holograms to pass himself and his Arachnamechs off as G.H.O.S.T., Mandroid lured Megatron and Dot Malto to a rail yard where the Seekers were pretending to be prisoners. Skywarp once again teleported away with Nova in tow, and the Arachnamechs leaped and subdued Megatron, leaving the Seekers to tow him away to Mandroid's base. To bring Optimus Prime to him, Mandroid gave Skywarp Malto's badge to show to Optimus. Upon picking up Optimus' signal, the Seekers traveled to the Emberstone's cave. As the humans and Terrans ran back into the cave, the Seekers unleashed a payload of Arachanmechs and took on Optimus and Bumblebee. Once again the pair were beaten, but Nova launched a salvo of rockets at the cave entrance, collapsing the tunnel. But it wasn't enough to stop Optimus from locking the pair in cuffs and leaving them for G.H.O.S.T. to pick up. Age of Evolution, Part 1

Fell down the stairs the same way Peter Griffin once did.

Somehow, Nova Storm was able to evade custody, and eventually made her way to Philadelphia and its illegal underground "Bot Brawl" tournament. Ultimately she lost her bout and was hauled away to be stripped for parts. Home, Part 1

During a prison break at G.H.O.S.T. HQ, Nova Storm managed to escape along with Starscream and Skywarp into an old cave system. They soon encountered the Malto kids, but also an energon-eating Dweller which almost ate Nova Storm before the others could rescue her. When the Malto kids came up with a plan to trap the beast, Starscream talked the other two Seekers into helping, though unfortunately for them, the plan went wrong and Nova Storm and Skywarp ended up trapped in crystals in the creature's lair. They were later released once the Dweller was destroyed and teleported away with Starscream. What Dwells Within Learning of Mandroid's plan to wipe out all Cybertronian life, Starscream, Nova Storm, and Skywarp returned to aid efforts to stop the mad scientist. Ultimately, Mandroid activated the weapon, shutting down every Cybertronian in range only for everyone to be brought back online a short time later when Robby and Mo used their cyber-sleeves to reverse the effects.

Notes

• Now, you didn't hear it from us, but Nova Storm's inclusion alongside Skywarp in Earthspark sure is weird, huh? Almost as if the writers wanted to include a different character in a female role, but were told they couldn't. Now, if that were the case, it seems pretty likely that's the second time in a row Nova Storm was given a prominent cartoon appearance simply because a more-famous Seeker was off-limits to have their gender changed from male to female. She would even use Thundercracker's Sonic Boom ability.
