Overcast (Skyfire Sonic in Japan) is a repaint of Energon Jetfire, and in Japan is simply a power-up of Jetfire, however Hasbro's toy line treated the toy as Jetfire's brother. Overcast has never appeared as himself in any official storyline, but his model has represented a powered-up Jetfire in the later episodes of the Energon television series.
Overcast is the long-lost brother of Jetfire and has been a loner for many eons, refusing to get involved in the conflict with the Decepticons. Overcast had a change of heart after witnessing the destruction of one of his favorite planets at the hands of Unicron. He then realized that this battle extends well beyond a simple conflict between Autobot and Decepticon. He has since joined his brother in battle against Megatron in order to avoid the potential revival of their common enemy. Like Jetfire, Overcast is a fast and powerful warrior whose impressive skills have served the Autobots well during battle with the Decepticons.
[edit] Transformers: Cybertron

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.
Later releases of the Classics Ultimate Battle Pack of Optimus Prime and Megatron included Mini-Cons Overcast and Deepdive as a bonus.
