Ask Vector Prime
Sunstorm and his fellow servants of Megazarak hailed from Aurex 304.0 Epsilon. Ask Vector Prime
The Sunstorm of Aurex 105.15 Gamma was the brother of Thrust but, unlike his brother, he was a cultist obsessed with the mythical Ultimate Warrior; instead of being involved in the war on Earth or against Unicron, he was off fighting a religious war in the Mirtonian Star Quadrant. When he learned from Thrust's Mini-Con partner, Inferno, that Galvatron had killed his brother, he vowed revenge... only to learn Galvatron had himself died in the Unicron Battles. Desperate, he prayed to the Ultimate Warrior to help him get revenge and Unicron answered, promising he would resurrect Galvatron for a beating if Sunstorm fought for him in the Universe War.
This was considered a really good deal and he became a massive Unicron zealot. Among other things, he captured the Street Action Mini-Con Team of Aurex 604.24 Gamma and used their Servility Program to brainwash them for a time. But when Unicron began to lose the War, Sunstorm demanded he get Galvatron now. The tyrant was indeed resurrected in a new body...
And Galvatron kicked his ass.
Sunstorm died cursing Unicron and the Ultimate Warrior as Galvatron walked off with Inferno. Ask Vector Prime
