The Rainmakers are three fictional characters from the Transformers series. They are inspired by three initially unnamed characters who appeared together in the original Transformers animated series.

Transformers

The Rainmakers are group Decepticons who turn into jets. Although they appearfed in animated form in 1985, none of the members got official names or toys until 2008, when Hasbro named the green member Acid Storm and released a toy for him in the Transformers: Universe line.

CHMS, KOLD, Heeerotoysmaker and Reprolabels have made third party Transformers homages to the Rainmakers.
