Overcast is a Decepticon from the live-action movie continuity family.

Cloudy with a chance of DEATH

Overcast gets his name from the dark clouds he generates with his built-in weather controllers. There is no silver lining within, however. This quiet, secretive Decepticon inventor is a dangerous adversary, equipped with a variety of experimental weapons so brilliant that even the Autobots might be impressed-if they weren't busy contending with sudden disabling bolts of electricity or being eaten away by ravenous nanites.

Fiction

Titan Magazines Transformers movie comics

The following events occur in a splinter timeline where Megatron won the battle of Mission City.

Shut UP, man!

Overcast was one of Stockade's "new Decepticons", a group of Decepticons who remained on the dying Cybertron out of patriotism and survived by feeding on Nucleon. Return to Cybertron: Part 1 In order to rebirth their world, they tried to summon a replacement for the All Spark: an ethereal entity related to the last All Spark, one which could replace it. He was part of the crew that helped it enter Cybertron, and thus one of the first to learn they'd summoned Unicron into their planet. Return to Cybertron: Part 2

As the planet turned against them, Overcast was nearly killed and had to be saved by Stockade. Left severely pessimistic, he wondered how long they'd stay alive. Return to Cybertron: Part 3 Despite this, he joined the combined Autobot-Decepticon team that entered Cybertron's depths and stopped Unicron by shooting things. Return to Cybertron: Part 4

When Stockade made a deal with the Autobots and arrived to defend Earth, Overcast was part of his air support. He played the vital role of identifying a fulcrum drone to Fracture, ensuring the drones were turned. Revolution Part 2 The New Decepticons quickly began to win, and in the penultimate battle Overcast was tasked with tidying things up (i.e. killing beaten enemies). He also wanted to know if they were really going to take the Decepticon Heartland and then just give Earth back-with Stockade hinting they might not...

It all became academic when they entered the Heartland to find Megatron back from the dead. Overcast ordered everyone into defensive formation before the battle was on. Luckily, the Autobots turned up to do their part of the deal, teleporting Megatron's crew to the dead Cybertron; unluckily, they had noticed the New Decepticons thinking about seizing Earth and teleported them too, leaving Overcast trapped there FOREVER.

Up, up, and away!

Overcast was one of the many reinforcements Soundwave deployed to Earth. His transition form landed in Japan, where he was able to scan an appropriate alternate form at a Japan Air Self-Defense Force base before levelling the installation. Alliance issue 3

To better fit the location of his planetfall, Overcast transforms into an F-15 Eagle of the sort used by the JASDF rather than the Russian MiG-29 that his toy turns into.

His victory was short-lived, as the Autobot-human alliance systematically hunted down and destroyed the Decepticons one by one. Overcast was shot down by the increasingly multinational NEST forces in Europe. Alliance issue 4

  • Accessories: 2 "flame" missiles

A redeco of the Decepticon Dreadwing mold, Overcast transforms into a MiG-29 "Fulcrum" fighter jet. His afterburners contain spring-loaded missile launchers, which can fire the bright yellow "flame" projectiles in both jet and robot modes. His chest also has a spring-loaded Automorph gimmick, opening up and revealing more robot parts.

This mold was later used to make Revenge of the Fallen Fearswoop from the Walmart-exclusive "The Fury of Fearswoop" 3-pack.
