Jetstorm (Movie)
From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Jetstorm" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Jetstorm (disambiguation). |
- Jetstorm is a Decepticon from the live-action movie continuity family.
Very few Autobots want to go up against Jetstorm at close range. While there are certainly stronger and more heavily-armed Decepticons out there, none of them fight as dirty as Jetstorm. He aims for particularly weak and painful joints, knows the full list of low blows and cheap shots, and generally does anything possible to win. Precious few make it out of a scrap with him without extensive damage.

- Accessories: 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, Cyber Planet Key
- A Toys "R" Us exclusive redeco of Cybertron Jetfire, Jetstorm transforms into a white and black cargo plane resembling a modified Antonov An-225. Jetstorm features sound effects activated by pressing the port side aft engine nacelle. Inserting his Cyber Planet Key (a clear-purple Planet X-style key with unpainted border) into his tail assembly in either vehicle or robot mode causes a pair of translucent red cannons to extend and the compartment they are mounted on to raise. Pressing the port side aft engine now activates a different sound effect. The tail section can be swiveled up to form an attack mode somewhat resembling the "gerwalk" form of a Macross Valkyrie.
- In robot mode, Jetstorm has a tendency to topple back due to the heavy, battery-operated gimmicks of the tail section, though he is more stable if one puts him in an action-oriented pose. In this mode, he features two pop-out (non-firing) missile pods in his waist and wields his two wing-mounted (spring-loaded) missile launchers.
Trivia
- According to Hasbro designer Joe Kyde's design notes on Hasbro's Transformers website, the figure is loosely inspired by the AC-130 Spectre gunship that appears in the Scorponok battle scene at the beginning of the live-action movie.
