It was a 2003 retcon, so the character of Sunstorm is only 7 years old, which should make it just as eligible as The Fallen (also a Gen1 character only 7 years old), and Drift (only 2 years old).
My opinion anyway, as I have a thing against 'fanboy' retconning of Gen1, decades afterwards...
We do know that when Sunstorm was first released by E-Hobby, it was with the intention of being the similarly coloured Seeker from More Than Meets The Eye, and we don't know that the yellowy-orange-and-white Seeker from MTMTE didn't necessarily have a god complex. I can see how his character is only seven years old. However, given that his first appearance is supposed to be the first episode of the cartoon and his body type is one of the most Geewun moulds in existence, I can't see how he could be anything but a G1 legacy Transformer. (If there's enough disagreement, then that's cool, because it would mean Slipstream would count too, and she's awesome. )
