However, after witnessing the destruction of a planet by
Unicron , Overcast's priorities changed. He aligned himself with his brother Jetfire to stop Megatron reactivating the Chaos-Bringer.Toys

voiceby =Overcast is the name of a Mini-Con. He is an original mold for the Cybertron line and turns into a cargo jet and is part of the Giant Planet Mini-Con team. Despite the Cybertron series being a follow up to Energon, these two characters seem to be unrelated. The Giant Planet Mini-Con team is an original Hasbro creation, and did not appear in the Japanese version of the series, Galaxy Force. As the television series was produced in Japan, these Mini-Cons didn't appear in the show.Overcast's bio was published in issue 13 of the Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club magazine.
Overcast is the leader of the Giant Planet Mini-Con Team, a gang of Gigantion Mini-Con rebels. His self-image is incredibly over-inflated, even though his main goal in life seems to be little more than to cause trouble for others through pranks and vandalism. A classic bully, he bullies his teammates as well, mostly the spineless Deepdive. After all, Longarm can pound him into the dirt.

He travels the galaxy inflicting his inventions on the unsuspecting, and now he has come to Earth to see how they measure up against the triumphant Autobots. Obscured behind a cloud generated by his built-in weather-makers, he drops nanite bombs capable of corroding and destroying even the most advanced machines.
