Moved this posting to the Non-TFs section, due to it being KO Gen1 jets.
I haven't deleted it because the auction has since ended, and it can be a reference for people to see what these KOs look like.
Please don't post KO ebay listings to advertise them. A cheap price usually indicates it's a KO. But if you aren't sure, ask someone or post it in this section as a question.

KOs suck! They even called Sunstorm "SunSTROM" on the box. He wasn't even a G1 figure (ie released in the 80's) was he? Glad to see no-one bought it.

Sunstorm was an e-hobby exclusive based on a character introduced in the Dreamwave G1 comics which in turn is based on a background (extra) Seeker jet who sported similar colors in the first episode of the G1 cartoon.

I wasn't having a go at you personally, just making the statement to everyone in general.

Actually, it's the other way around. The e-Hobby toy came first, then it appeared in Dreamwave comics.

Sunstorm originally appeared in the G1 episode "More Than Meets The Eye" and arguably also in "Divide and Conquer" although the character was never named or had any exposition in the G1 cartoon. He was just some random yellow Decepticon jet! Prominent Transfan Ichikawa Hirofumi created the Sunstorm character based on that yellow jet - which has essentially since been retconned as being Sunstorm.

Click here to view the part of that episode where Sunstorm appears. Sunstorm appears in this video at 01:58



There's another yellow Sky Raider in "Divide And Conquer" but it's a different shade of yellow and sports a different colour map from the yellow jet in "More Than Meets The Eye" - you can see that yellow jet here at 05:43 - but it is a distinctly different shade of yellow and has a very different colour map to the one in "More Than Meets The Eye."

It's widely accepted that Sunstorm is the yellow Sky Raider in MTMTE Part 1 but debatable if the yellow jet in Divide And Conquer is also Sunstorm or an entirely different character.
