Trivia
- According to Hasbro's BotCon 2008 panel, Acid Storm was originally to be named "Rainmaker", then "Acid Rain", but those names didn't clear Legal.
- Acid Storm's Universe deco was designed by Aaron Archer, a relative rarity for the time given Archer's high hierarchical status within Hasbro.
- Although explicitly based on the green Rainmaker from "Divide and Conquer", Acid Storm's near-fluorescent green in the cartoon was specifically toned down to fit better into the quasi-realism of the 2008 Universe toyline.
