Rainmaker Leader

Acid Storm is an Autobot Rainmaker with the talent of Acid Production

## Official Bio

### Real

*Primary leader of the Rainmakers, an Autobot team comprised primarily of Seekers, one would think Acid Storm would have good reason to hate the system he serves. After an incident where he accidentally damaged his faceplate with his own powers, he ultimately failed to get the treatment needed in time, instead receiving a mechanized optic compensator to make up the difference. However, instead of raging against the machine, he found it more efficent to inspire people who had been similarly handicapped to face their new life head on. Sometimes he blows off steam by testing the mettle of heroes in training, often erroneously mistaken as a Decepticon in the process much to his and their chagrin.*

### Disguise

*The leader of the terror cell known as the Rainmakers, Acid Storm is the oldest brother of the group, who's acid producing abilities led to him accidentally scarring his own face. Never being given access to the treatment to heal his now deformed face, he has a fond hatred of the leading government. Now he leads the Rainmakers on daring assaults of major installations to, as he calls it, stick it to the system.*

## History

Acid Storm attended the Autobot Academy and eventually graduated, afterwards forming the Rainmakers with their younger siblings Ion Storm and Nova Storm. At some point they accidentally melted the side of their face leaving it permanently scarred due to not getting the needed medical care in time. This forced Acid Storm to wear an optic compensator, but this led to them working to inspire those with similar injuries to take on their new life. Their team would act as Decepticons and pretend to raid their old school in training simulations.

*In Nighttime Duel Acid Storm entered the Academy with his teammates once Ion Storm deactivated the power. He snuck up behind Longshot and Mach Dart while they were looking at Ion Storm and shot them with acid that pinned their feet to the ground before announcing their intentions to take over the school, though it was undercut by Nova Storm pointing out they needed to install their virus first, much to his chagrin. The trio then headed down to the computer lab, with Acid Storm setting up several traps in the nearby hallways. Once there Acid Storm helped his brother set up the virus, noting the effectiveness of his acid trap once it went off, before assuring his sister they would fight once the students got past all of his traps. When Longshot started shooting at them, Acid Storm reattached the cables disconnected from the device while his siblings dealt with the freshman, before informing them that the three virus nodes were all installed. After Longshot neutralized Nova Storm's flames by using explosives to use up the oxygen in the area, Acid Storm fired his acid at him, only for Saber to slash his wing, who Acid Storm then tried to shoot acid at his eyes. This opened him up to being thrown into the wall by an explosive shell from Longshot, taking him down temporarily. He was able to get up in time to sneak up on Mach Dart again and spray acid at him, calling him a coward when he ran, only to get gouged in the chest by Mach Dart's knife, which he quickly covered with some acid. Once the other students had all retreated, Acid Storm joined his siblings in throwing Bomb-Burst around until his arm was hooked by "Jetman's" grappling hook, who then punched him through several computers into the wall. Recovering from the impact, he noted the stupidity of the students not looking for the other virus upload points and believing that defeating them in combat meant victory, but asked the same question by "Jetman" as the vigilante held him down. Getting loose while "Jetman" was distracted by Gridlock, who was convinced he knew Acid Storm, he then sprayed acid at the newly arrived Nightbird, spraying more at her two clones once she threw a sai into his leg. He dodged her attempt to send the rails he was standing other down onto him, only to be hit in the back by a combined blast from Hot Shot and Bumblebee while he noted the students were finally prioritizing removing the virus. Forced together with the other Rainmakers, Acid Storm was then knocked down by the bomb thrown by Rad, but that's when the attack was revealed to have merely been a simulation and Acid Storm got back up and gave Rollout a thumbs up as the teacher explained the Rainmakers' true identities.*

In Your Past and Future Acid Storm and their team went to Maccadam's for drinks.

### The Siege- Revised Timeline

When the timeline was altered in Return to Autobot Academy, Acid Storm was blackmailed by an unknown individual who instructed them to come to the doors on the side of a mountain on Acadeimos during the Festival of the Stars and bring their team with them. Hot Shot recalled the exercise with the Rainmakers when talking about how used to strange events he was to Bumblebee.

## Powers and Abilities

Acid Storm has the talent of Acid Production, allowing them to produce acids of varying effects, such as corrosive and quick-drying varieties. However, they are not immune to it's effects, and Acid Storm must now where an optic compensator as a result of learning this fact the hard way. They are also equipped with a pair of arm mounted blasters.

Like most Cybertronians, Acid Storm has the natural ability to transform, taking on the form of a Cybertronian Jet.
