The Cloud line is complete, no new figures. All 8 figures are now known, and we've known from the start that's all it'll have.
- Jelze Bunnycat =:3
Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl
- Spare CW HFGs (Air Raid/Skydive)

EDIT: And now I can't find anything on that, so Wave 4 might indeed be the end.

A surprise wave? Weird, the Cloud site only mentions the 4.

In my opinion they are too small.
Scale has always been an issue with Transformers in G1. It's about time we moved passed that.

Meaning Hasbro should finally set up a standard size for their TF line? Wouldn't cost/design factors also have to be taken into consideration?

That would be tough though. I would like my vehicles to be in scale but then again i see tailgate as a small guy you know. So i would prefer if he were small.
Plus, there's always that 'small car, giant jet' thing, which means starscream would tower over any of the cars.
As for Brainstorm's repaint/remold? What about Dreadwing or even Darkwing.
Really like these though, but apart from tailgate, hasbro's look fine enough.

I raise you with this:

Everybody on screen are inside Astrotrain, even a fully formed Devastator in TF The Movie. For those who dont know, In robot mode, Astrotrain is the size of a standard seeker.

I'd rather keep my figures as unaltered as possible, for collectability and potential resellability. That's why it's the Takara version of leader Jetfire for me!

The first with the clocks (yes, clock, 25cm or 10 inches in diameter) seems to be exclusive to the ever-popular (and often rigged) Crane Games, while the ones with the weapons is exclusive to Lost Age. They are:
Ptera Spear: repainted from Prime Knock Out's weapon
Spino Hammer: repainted from BH Deluxe Twinstrike's weapon
Tricera Mace: repainted from BH Deluxe Windrazor's weapon
Prime Axe: repainted from BH Dreadwing's melee weapon.
