Jumpstream


 * Jumpstream is a Camien Autobot.

Jumpstream is loyal to Pyra Magna to a fault, willing to sacrifice herself for her if need be. Pyra Magna knows Jumpstream can't be deterred, so she's decided she might as well train Jumpstream well enough that self-sacrifice won't ever be necessary. Thankfully, Jumpstream has the ability to teleport herself away from danger, but is that a power she'd use if Pyra Magna were in trouble? <!-- Jumpstream can combine with her fellow Torchbearers to form Victorion.

2005 IDW continuity

 * First Appearance: Transformers: Combiner Hunters #1

Before becoming a Torchbearer, Jumpstream was a civilian living in the desolate mining town of Parvus Oppidum. After her Conjunx Endura Dustup was attacked by a group of bandits after the town's meager energon supplies, Jumpstream convinced her partner to call the Torchbearers for assistance and greeted Torchbearer leader Praesidia Magna as she and her team landed. After showing them the town, Jumpstream introduced them to Dustup, trying to keep her wife from fangirling out to hard at finally getting to see the group up close. While Dustup left to show Torchbearer second-in-command Pyra the town's energon supply, the bandits suddenly returned. After her wife saved her from getting mauled by one of the bandits, Jumpstream joined in the fight and began attempting to rally the townspeople to stand their ground. However, after a large black hole opened up underneath the town, Jumpstream's priorities switched to helping get as many to safety as she could. Though the marauders and the black hole eventually disappeared, the town was completely destroyed. Helping the Torchbearers clear away the rubble and search for survivors, Jumpstream and Dustup both watched with interest as the Mistress of Flame helped Pyra to her feet as she regained consciousness.

When Pyra returned to Parvus Oppidum, Jumpstream thanked her for her team's help in reconstructing the town but the Torchbearer was more interested in talking to Dustup. Soon after this, Jumpstream and Dustup were both made members of the Torchbearers by the group's new leader Pyra Magna.



Soon after Caminus entered the Council of Worlds, her team was sent to Cybertron to search for the remains of Crystal City.

Jumpstream and Dustup were really excited when Magna decided to investigate a nearby fight, and soon found themselves involved in a battle to save the Enigma of Combination. Said Enigma turned Jumpstream and her friends into a new combiner, Victorion, and after they uncombined, a startled Jumpstream learned something about Dustup that her friend didn't want getting out.

The Torchbearers opted to stay in the Rust Sea for a time, still learning to control their new powers. The inhabitants of the wasteland soon learned to avoid them. On one occasion, the team appeared to scare off a group of zombified Sweeps.

They remained in exile until Optimus Prime- seeking answers about what it truly meant to be a Prime, decided to visit the group. Merging into Victorion, the Torchbearers tested Optimus's physical and spiritual resolve. Optimus's agnosticism about the Matrix of Leadership prompted Victorion to lay claim to the Matrix and vow to build Optimus into a worthy Prime.

The Torchbearers travelled back to Iacon, where they combined and joined Starscream's forces in quelling a Decepticon riot at the space bridge. After Optimus declared Earth a member of the Council of Worlds, the Torchbearers- still combined- took part in a skirmish against Galvatron's splinter force of Decepticons, but had to separate and fall back to the Skyroller after China deployed its anti-Transformer weaponry.

As a show of good faith, the Autobots began patrolling impoverished and troubled regions around the world; Jumpstream and the other Torchbearers would defend a Middle Eastern girl's school from religious fanatics. The Torchbearers would later travel to the White House after Aileron went rogue, forming Victorion and extricating the Autobots from the White House lawn.

The Torchbearers participated in Optimus and Soundwave's joint operation on the Nemesis. Galvatron managed to take them out of the fight by using his power over the Enigma of Combination to tear them apart, reducing Victorion to her components and knocking them out. By the time that the Torchbearers had regained consciousness, the fight had already moved offworld. Pyra Magna led her team as they helped mop up the stragglers, but were forced to combine again after the Earth Defense Command launched an attack on the exhausted Autobots.

Over the course of several months, the Autobots settled into their new role as global protectors, unaware that there were those humans who still saw them as unlawful alien invaders. Jumpstream and the other Torchbearers were deployed from Autobot City in Monument Valley to Oregon, where they defended Arcee and Jazz from an unprovoked G.I. Joe attack. As Victorion, they used her gravity powers to harmlessly take down human aircraft in the wake of Soundwave's EMP attack. Victorion maintained guard outside Autobot City as the situation intensified. Not long afterwards, the Dire Wraiths and M.A.S.K. besieged Autobot City for the deposits of Ore-13 beneath. As Victorion, the Torchbearers went up against Baron Karza, but when the Microspace tyrant released an army of Dire Wraiths from his innards, Victorion split into her components to better deal with the swarm.

When Karza had been thwarted, the Autobots and their allies returned to policing an increasingly volatile Earth. Jumpstream accompanied her leader to the Matterhorn, where they witnessed a massive alien ship make planetfall. It turned out that it contained the nomadic Junkions, and, as Victorion, the Torchbearers watched as Wreck-Gar and Rum-Maj made their introductions.

Jumpstream and the Torchbearers stood by when Pyra Magna finally came to blows with Optimus Prime over his hypocrisy of leading via religious mandate when he himself did not believe. Nevertheless, they attended the meeting between the peoples of Earth, Cybertron, and Junk arranged by the Prime. Which, of course, immediately descended into open warfare. They engaged the attacking Junkions on the orders of the Prime, forming Victorion to deal with their foes. In the aftermath of the battle, the Junkions were given Bikini Atoll as a refugee city, building their own Little Cybertron on the island, with the somewhat reluctant assistance of the Torchbearers.

Jumpstream was at Autobot City when Metrotitan's Space Bridge ferried Earth's envoy of ambassadors to Cybertron to be accepted into the Council of Worlds. When contact with Cybertron was cut off, she and the Torchbearers locked down Autobot City in case an attack was directed back through the bridge. She met Pyra Magna, Skyburst, and Stormclash at the Space Bridge once they returned from Cybertron and the assault had been quelled.

The Torchbearers awaited Optimus Prime at Autobot City when he returned from the Ore-13 mines with a supply of energon for Cybertron. A situation developed when he delivered the energon to Cybertron, but Pyra Magna chose to keep her forces in reserve rather than rush to the Prime's side. Of course, they had no say in the matter once Autobot City acted on its own accord and transported to Cybertron through its own Space Bridge portal. Metrotitan was then murdered by the Nemesis, flagship of the prodigal Prime, Onyx Prime.

In the wreckage of Metrotitan, the Torchbearers were faced the Maximals of Liege Maximo and the fanatical combiner, Devastator. They formed Victorion in order to better defend their allies. The power of Devastator seemed to be so great that he overcame Victorion's gravity-manipulation abilities. Victorion's fight with Devastator went poorly for some time and he held the upper hand. Eventually, however, it was revealed that the Liege Maximo manipulated the gravity power of Ore-4 to counteract Victorion's powers. Once Arcee dispatched him, Devastator fell easily and was pulverized by sustained gravimetric pressure. Jumpstream and the Torchbearers disconnected as Pyra Magna confronted Onyx Prime in his true form as Shockwave of the Decepticons.

 * Combiner Wars Jumpstream is a retool of Deluxe Class Breakdown from the same toy line, and transforms into a supercar resembling a Lamborghini Diablo. Jumpstream can also form either an arm or a leg for any standard-issue Combiner Wars or Unite Warriors gestalt or into one of Legends Godbomber's legs, though she was intended to combine with her teammates Pyra Magna, Stormclash, Skyburst, Dust Up, and Rust Dust to form Victorion, with her weapon forming the chappe of Victorion's sword.


 * Like the rest of her Torchbearers, Jumpstream features Cybertronic tampographs on her vehicle mode, which read "All shall be" on the right, and "Turned to dust" on the left.


 * Jumpstream was only available as part of a Victorion box set, including a poster and a collector card based on the set's packaging art. The set was one of several so-called "Collection Packs" that were "online exclusives" in the United States, available from online retailers such as Hasbro Toy Shop, Amazon, and BigBadToyStore as well as the online stores of "big box" retailers such as Toys"R"Us, Walmart, Target, and Kmart. In Hasbro's Asian markets such as Singapore and Taiwan, the set was available at general retail. In Australia, it was sold at Toys"R"Us stores, whereas in Canada, was both sold at Toys"R"Us stores and available via Amazon Canada. In the United Kingdom, it was available via the UK Toys"R"Us website (but never sold in stores), whereas in Spain, it was available via the Spanish subsidiaries of Amazon and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés, supposedly also only available online.


 * This version of the sculpt was also redecoed into Unite Warriors Trickdiamond.
