Transformers Artwork #10

In 2001, a new Generation One Transformers character made his debut, Sunstorm! This character was an e-Hobby exclusive repaint of the original Starscream mold based on an extra Seeker seen in More Than Meets the Eye (Part 1). The character was given true back story in the Dreamwave comics before they bit the dust in 2004. In the comics, Sunstorm was a clone of Starscream created by Shockwave and fitted with an internal fusion reactor. In order to protect his body from the excessive power surges, the clone was coated with Electrum, which made him near invincible. However, the process drove Sunstorm insane, and he began to think of himself as a god. He is a really great character, and I hope that we will continue to see more of this character in the future. He has appeared in multiple toy lines in the U.S. over the last nine years, and he has always been a repaint of the seeker molds. If you want to read about him and his battles with Starscream, Omega Supreme, and Jetfire, check out the first five or so issues of the Ongoing Generation One Transformers comics from Dreamwave. They are becoming harder to acquire, but you can still get them at a decent price at comic book stores which sell back issues of comics or there is always e-Bay.
