Storm Jet (Energon)


 * Storm Jet is an Autobot from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Storm Jet is the leader of the Air Team, five robots who make up the legendary super-energon-fueled super robot Superion Maximus. Even though he's an expert marksman with heavy firepower, Storm Jet is a brawler at heart, a rowdy robot who's always itching for a fistfight. If there aren't any Decepticons to smash, then he'll pick on his fellow Autobots in order to instigate a brawl. Even warnings from his commanders don't seem to dampen his need to smash stuff... he just takes it out all the more on whatever luckless Decepticon happens to cross his path.


 * Japanese name: Afterburner

Energon

 * Storm Jet (Basic, 2004)
 * Team ID number: A5


 * Storm Jet transforms into a Cybertronic jet shaped somewhat akin to a "blackbird" stealth jet. He also forms the torso to the Superion Maximus combiner robot, capable of using any "Powerlinx Combiner" limb-robot combination thanks to the universal connector points used for the Air Team, Destruction Team and Construction Team toys.


 * Early releases of the Hasbro Storm Jet lacked the blue "Powerlinx" cog tampograph, which was added midway through the run.


 * Superion (Multi-pack, 2004)
 * Japanese ID number: SC-26


 * In Japan, Storm Jet (aka "Afterburner") was only made available as part of a complete Superion gift set. The two versions are largely identical, the main difference being that the Takara release uses a darker clear-blue for the "energon" bits than the Hasbro version.

Trivia

 * Storm Jet's bio mentions he has a large arsenal of firepower... yet not only does he have no accessories, but there are very few features on his toy mold that imply "gun". Maye they all flip out of hidden panels or something.
