In fact, I have reasons to believe that he was not simply a man, but a God or at least a deity in human form.

There really should be a bible (if not numerous bibles, temples, churches and mosques) devoted to His Divine Holy Lordship, Stormtrooper TK-421.. 0_o
That's pretty much the story behind Sunstorm!

The dude started off as nothing more than a random generic yellow Decepticon jet in the first episode of the G1 cartoon (as you can see here). And for 19 years nobody gave a flying Rattrap's tail about him. People cared about Hauler, at least Hauler had a name. Sunstorm was a nameless mook and we all know that nameless gumbies are highly disposable!

"Do you know who I am? Have you got any idea how many anonymous henchmen I've killed over the years? I mean, look at you. You don't even have a name tag. You've got no chance. Why don't you just fall down?" - Nigel Powers (Austin Powers In Goldmember)

But then in 2003 we got Sunstorm as a toy. I got this toy but not because I cared about Sunstorm but because I wanted Hauler! Finally seeing a Hauler toy was a dream come true for me. I couldn't care less for Sunstorm, but of course Hauler and Sunstorm were sold as a set so I ended up getting him. And of course since Sunstorm's been retconned as a demi-godlike character (as you can see here)... I can't think of any other Transformer that walks around exuding energy all over his body, not even The Fallen (he's just on fire all the time ). Primus-possessed Emirate Xaaron comes close, but that's really because Xaaron was a vessel for a god so that doesn't really count. Sunstorm's energy aura is all him baby.

So now we have so many fans who totally worship Sunstorm. I've never seen a character born from such obscurity who's become so popular with fans! With growing demand HasTak has since given us more Sunstorm toys and merchandise which is always highly sought after!
e.g.:
+ Heroes of Cybertron Sunstorm
+ Pallisades statue Sunstorm
+ Titanium Series Sunstorm
+ Universe Sunstorm
+ Mini-Con Sunstorm
+ Cybertron Sunstorm
+ Animated Sunstorm (he even a recurring character with dialogue in the cartoon!!)
+ Reissue G1 Sunstorm!

There's no Animated Thrust or Dirge (in the show), but we have an Animated Sunstorm! That's kuh-razy! So come on Michael Bay... give us movie Sunstorm!
