Overcast (Transformers)

Overcast is the name of several fictional characters from the Transformers universes.

Transformers: Energon

Overcast (Skyfire Sonic in Japan) is a repaint of Energon Jetfire, and in Japan is simply a power-up of Jetfire, however Hasbro's toy line treated the toy as Jetfire's brother. Overcast has never appeared as himself in any official storyline, but his model has represented a powered-up Jetfire in the later episodes of the Energon television series.

Overcast's bio portrayed him as a loner who didn't get involved with the Autobot-Decepticon war. However, after winessing the destruction of a planet by Unicron, Overcast's priorities changed. He aligned himself with his brother Jetfire to stop Megatron reactivating the Chaos-Bringer. {{-}}

Transformers: Cybertron

Overcast is the name of a Mini-Con. He is an original mold for the Cybertron line and turns into a cargo jet and is part of the Giant Planet Mini-Con team. Despite the Cybertron series being a follow up to Energon, these two characters seem to be unrelated. The Giant Planet Mini-Con team is an original Hasbro creation, and did not appear in the Japanese version of the series, Galaxy Force. As the television series was produced in Japan, these Mini-Cons didn't appear in the show.

Overcast's bio was published in issue 13 of the Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club magazine.

Overcast is the leader of the Giant Planet Mini-Con Team, a gang of Gigantion Mini-Con rebels. His self-image is incredibly over-inflated, even though his main goal in life seems to be little more than to cause trouble for others through pranks and vandalism. A classic bully, he bullies his teammates as well, mostly the spineless Deepdive. After all, Longarm can pound him into the dirt.
