eHobby & TakaraTomy Mall Present: Transformers Cloud

When eHobby gets involved, it's going to be interesting. I wonder if this will tie in the TFCC in some manner as well?

Last week, we reported on eHobby & TakaraTomy Mall's new partnership titled Transformers Cloud. This week, they've updated with a new image and new info.

This new partnership will create a new fiction called Guardians Of Time and a new toyline to replace the TG series of figures. First up, according to the preview, a new deco on Henkei Prime and GDO Megatron.



More information will be available later today (November 15th), until then we don't have further specifics, but we do have a price. 5,940 JPY, which currently converts to $59.28 We will be checking back throughout the day for the rest of the info, and we'll have it available to you shortly thereafter.

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

Agreed. Although, the N.E.S.T./GDO mold is actually quite nice. Not Megatron nice, but nice.

Not sure I really want another redeco of Optimus Prime, heck, from the image he looks exactly the same as previous versions?

Biggest difference from the Henkei! Henkei! version I can tell is that this one has one Autobot symbol on his left shoulder while the former had two, one on each shoulder.

And the truck kibble in the arms seem to be stripe-less, being solid red here.

And his smokestack gun is black this time instead of silver. As is his truck wind vane, so his altmode might be partially black.

Additional details on this thing.

The comics that come with these figures might be two different versions from each other: "Transformers Cloud Comic (Optimus Version)" and "Transformers Cloud Comic (Megatron Version)"

They seem to be splitting the two figures between the two vendors. Optimus will be exclusive to TakaraTomy Mall and Megatron will be exclusive to e-HOBBY.

Did you miss this? "This new partnership will create a new fiction called Guardians Of Time and a new toyline to replace the TG series of figures."

"TG" = "Transformers Generations". At least, in Japan it does.

And I find this statement from Duque to be very implausible since this is just an online exclusive promotion, whereas Generations (as well as the Super GT toys) have been standard retail releases in Japan. Why a mass retail line would be canned for a limited selection of online exclusives that can only be purchased from two vendors is completely nonsensical.

It'd be like trying to sell the entire Age of Extinction toyline at just Kmart stores two figures at a time.

I got that. I just have no idea what this has to do with Alternity/GT.

Megatron is the eHOBBY exclusive while Optimus is TakaraTomy Mall's exclusive.

Classics Prime AGAIN!!! Seriously, give us a new Optimus Prime. After the awesomeness that is Toyworld Orion arrived at my door, I can't be bothered paying for the classics mould again.
