Takara Tomy Transformers Cloud Line to Consist of 8 Figures?

Rodimus is the only one that raised an eyebrow there. I would hope the mold would get a retool instead of just a repaint. The car mode just isn't Hot Rod enough but i'll settle for a repaint at the end of the day. It'll look neat with Sandstorm and Springer.

The rest are a total bore.

Looks interesting...I'd really like to see how the initial figures turn out before I get excited for the rest though.

1- Rodimus, if indeed released, will be mine.
2- Megatron has roboboobs.

Everyone but Rodimus is supposed to be their recently released TakaraTomy Generations figure. Jazz is in another chapter and it's the TakaraTomy version of the FoC figure.

Andrew Hall, formerly of eHOBBY / Part One, said that for the first story they just used the Japanese Generations figures for the other characters that appeared in that first chapter.

I do believe whatever they have planned won't be the above other than Rodimus.

...which is all I need, really.

Based on Prime and Megs (as well as e-HOBBY's reputation), I'd imagine the Cloud line will be all redecos of whatever molds it winds up having.

That makes sense. But will they be repainted to represent different characters (like turning the Springer mold into Rodimus) or will they simply be repaints of the same character (like giving FOC Jazz a new paint job and calling it "Cloud Jazz" instead of "FOC Jazz")?

What he said.

Let me rephrase.

The toys of Blaster, Jazz, Starscream, Soundwave, and Swindle shown in that artwork were not Cloud toys. They were just the existing Japanese Generations toys.

The eight toys that Cloud is supposed to have are Optimus, Megatron, possibly the Springer-Rodimus redeco, and five others we know nothing about.

Takara Tomy is showing off the first two figures in their e-Hobby and Takara Tomy Mall exclusive Transformers Cloud line at Tokyo's Super Festival. TFC-A01 Optimus Prime is a repaint of Voyager Classics Optimus Prime available via the Takara Tomy Mall. TFC-D01 Megatron is a reuse of the GDO Voyager Megatron mold, which itself is a redeco/remold of the ROTF Bludgeon mold, is available via e-Hobby. Recent information suggests the Transformers Cloud line with consists of eight figures total, four through each of the aforementioned retailers. Speculation based on the line's accompanying story is we will see a repaint/remold of the Generations Voyager Springer mold into Rodimus. Images below courtesy of Temping Toys via TFW2005.

I think Cloud Megatron would look so much more Megatron-like if Takara had used the Classics Nerf Megatron head!

Heck, maybe some thoughtful KO factory will KO the Headrobots Blood set again but in grey and silver and include a decent bucket-head?

It's a good looking mold, I just think that Megatron is more of a robust guy. The Bludgeon mold isn't chunky enough.
