    Does it have to be messaged? That seems like something a lot of people might be interested in hearing.

    The aspects behind the yellow Rainmaker and the blue Rainmaker, which are now Nova Storm and Ion Storm, respectively, were discussed earlier in the thread. In case, if people have forgotten or have not read about it, here is some information about them.

    Ion Storm was mine. When the possibility of naming the two un-named individuals, we thought about what creates acid rain on Earth. There are two types of acid that can create acid rain. One of them being sulfuric acid which comes from volcanoes and the other type is nitric acid which is from lightning bolts. Nova Storm has the sulfuric acid/volcanic abilities whereas Ion Storm has nitric acid/lightning abilities. When the trio are together, they can create some nasty acid rain

    Electro Storm would have been an interesting name and we tried for Lightning Storm, but it was kind long so Ion Storm was the finalized name.

    It doesn't matter if you like it, the fact remains that these are their names. But why, though? These "characters" were just generics in a MEANWHILE ON CYBERTRON episode right? That would be like giving a Name to the Vehicon that RoidRagetchet tried to torture.

    I read about their names on TFWiki weeks ago, they work just fine for me, especially after reading the reasoning behind them here. As far as I'm concerned, Hasbros MP Sunstorm is my MP Nova Storm. Once TT Thundercracker arrives Hasbro TC becomes Ion Storm and my Rainmakers are complete.

    And I now have one more reason to get TT Sunstorm. As if I needed one.

    Using Hasbro's MP Sunstorm and TC could work for the two previously un-named characters and they could look good with MP Acid.
