Have you seen me?

This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.

Jetstorm is another in a line of disgusting insect Predacons. Regurgitated toxins spew forth from his mouth at any enemy in his way. Air-to-air missiles give him supreme sky superiority, which he absolutely revels in. Jetstorm is an elitist snob who prefers to stay "above" the battle at all times, disgusted by those squabbling on the ground below. The appearance of Jetstorm's dragonfly mode captivates the enemy's attention, distracting them long enough for him to show off his powers of destruction.

In other words, he's butt-ugly, but functionally butt-ugly.

Fiction

IDW Beast Wars comics

Magmatron traveled to prehistoric Earth to turn the Axalon's Protoforms into a new Predacon army. Transquito witnessed the Jetstorm's successful conversion. Magmatron ordered Jetstorm and the rest of his new forces to seek out the double-agent Razorbeast and his crew of Maximals. Later, under the leadership of the reactivated Ravage, Jetstorm joined the other flyers, Lazorbeak, Sky Shadow, Injector, and Buzz Saw, in hunting down the Maximals. Within a few days, the Predacons had located the Maximal headquarters, and Ravage ordered an attack. The Maximals won that fight, forcing the surviving Predacons to retreat into the wilderness.

  • Jetstorm (Deluxe, 1997)
    • Accessories: 2 missiles
Jetstorm transforms into an organic dragonfly. His beast mode's inner head (which is his robot-mode head) features a water-squirting Gimmick with an internal bellows located in his tail. His dragonfly tail conceals a pair of spring-out spring-loaded missile launchers that swing forward at the push of a button. These launchers are available in robot mode as well, but due to their construction fire mostly upwards.
This toy was redecoed to make Tonbot.
