Sandstorm is a hardshelled mystery of a robot, wrapped in a softshelled cover-identity and cemented by a tasty bean-paste of lies.

The Covenant's resident expert on court intrigue, Scorpius' billions of year of experience made him a natural to survey the deepening crisis on Cybertron due ot Shokaract. He did so with gusto, immediately vanishing into a cover identity so thoroughly that even the Covenant couldn't contact him. His rise to power paralleled Shokaract's, and Sandstorm eventually ascended to become the (much dinished) leader of the Predacons, leading the anti-Shokaract rebels in the sub-levels under Iacon.

Sandstorm is armed with a blaster in his right claw.

Trivia/Oddities

• Early in production, Sandstorm was going to be named Quicksand. The change marked a strengthening of the bonds between 3H and Hasbro, as both Botcon '99 toys were given names Hasbro already held copyright on.
• The text of Reaching the Omega Point describes Scorpius as having pincers, and Sandstorm with normal hands. In reality, that's reversed. Whoops!
