Universe

 * Acid Storm (Deluxe, 2008)


 * Acid Storm is a redeco of the Classics Starscream mold, transforming into an F-15 Eagle fighter jet, though with a canopy like that of an F-14 Tomcat. He comes with a pair of spring-loaded missile launchers that can be mounted on his biceps or used as hand-held weapons in robot mode and can attach under his wings in vehicle mode.

Trivia

 * The name is a reference to the Rainmakers from Generation 1 episode "Divide and Conquer". According to Hasbro's BotCon 2008 panel he was originally to be named "Rainmaker" or "Acid Rainmaker" but those names didn't clear. Acid Storm was the closest they could get.
 * This deco finally gives fans the mass-release Thundercracker deco of this mold that many have wished for since a convention-exclusive Thundercracker deco was sold at BotCon 2007. Of course, it's Machine Wars Thundercracker, but hey, what're ya gonna do.
