I imagine that these are about as unnecessary as the Seekers they're based on, but I actually really like how these newer Seekers looked, so I had fun dusting off my old TFA vectors to make Starscream clones. Incidentally, I made an Acid Storm a looong time ago, and Bitstream, but this new one is based more on the Generations colors than the initial toy. It fits Animated better, though it makes him look Constructicon-ish. Every clone of Starscream has a bit of treachery in them, but Acid Storm is the KING of it. He'll tell you all he knows about backstabbery, then shoot you the moment your back is turned, because now you know too much. It's safe to say he is not very well trusted even among his fellow clones. Nacelle isn't the best flyer, combatant, liar, any of that stuff - but he will go out of his way to prove he is the best at being all of those things, pushing himself to the front lines where he really doesn't belong. Deep down, beneath Starscream's exterior, he's got a bit of wit to him, and Bitstream embodies it. From snide remarks, to topical comebacks and more than a dozen ways to mock every flaw of his teammates, Bitstream is sure to say something clever - even if he's the only one who laughs.
I considered the Actionmaster Thundercracker and other variations of old Seekers but I think that would be going overboard. I got my fix with the newer guys.
Wait, they've actually named the other 2 Rainmakers. Ion Storm (Blue) and Nova Storm (Yellow). That's another 2 Seekers for me to sketch. Nova Storm
I thought I might've forgotten one, that'd be Red Wing. I was also unaware of Ion Storm and Nova Storm, and I can't find anything on a character named Slaughterhouse. Perhaps there are too many Seekers for me to take on, haha
Sluaghterhouse is a fan coined name for a background character in now exRID. Nova Storm and Ion Storm are Acid Storm's 2 teammates in the original cartoon who were recently named. They even got artwork at the same time, like my avatar is Nova Storm, complete with spear for stabbing people who call him Sunstorm
Nova Storm as Starscreams Anger, Ion Storm of that Smart Side, Red Wing as the Triggerhappy Side. Hotlink as the commanding side?
He's pretty much a background character, so I'm not sure why I brought him up, he's on the right: File:Rid12 clones and slaughterhouse.jpg - Transformers Wiki
The original artwork for Ion Storm and Nova Storm were done back in 2012. The spear is one of Nova Storm's weapons. The joke that was placed on TFwiki was due to the misconception about Sunstorm and the yellow Rainmaker. Nova Storm as Starscream's anger...that might work. As for Ion Storm for the smart side...maybe but he is a bit snarky. As for the OP, nice work on the TFA clones that did not show up in TF: Animated.
