B-E-A-YOOtiful!

[GuyIncognito]

That fig looks great in those colors!

(Also, I need to get one of those stands for my Sky-Byte. Can anyone point me to a site that sells them? I don't even know what they're called.)

[Lockdownhunter]

Looks better on this colours than the Sky Byte colours!I might get him when he is on clearance.

Looks to me like the arm of a standard Tamashii Stage, probably Act 3 or Act 4. CSToys has them for a decent price here

That's a three-pack of them.

[shajaki]

im sold on at least half of the cloud line. i just got megatron (love it), and plan to get starscream, rodimus and hellwarp. ironhide and shockwave are maybes. prime and brawn are out cause of that black windvain (and ive got henkei) and brawns tiny head/giant body.

[Rated X]

They really should have done a cybershark deco instead. It would have gotten more buyers. I dont waste my money on those stands. I propped my skybyte on one of those transparent scoop cups that come in GNC products. It works just fine.

[Killerewok]

A nice and inexpensive stand that I use are Obitsu stands. I got mine on eBay for like $6 a piece shipped. They are modular and come with several parts to mix and match. They are perfect for Deluxe class, and feel a little flimsy for some of the heavier Voyagers, but they are workable. I had my Sky-Byte on one for a few days without any drooping, but he was a little "bouncy". They come with different sized clips and pegs and are pretty versatile.
Mixing the extra parts, I made a nice tall stand to hang Prime Airachnid over my Prime display (you know, so I don't have to look at her horrid robot mode lol). I also use it for Strafe to fly over my Dinobot display. They can extend pretty high and stay sturdy. Definitely worth a look if you can't find the inner strength to spend $12-$20+ on a stand. They were the least expensive stand I could find that came recommended from other collectors.

Since we haven't seen new pictures of Transformers Cloud TFC-A04 Roadbuster in a while, we turn to TakaraTomyMall for a handful of new images of this upcoming figure. Transformers Cloud Roadbuster homages Transformers Super Link Roadbuster who was also known as Ironhide in Transformers Energon. The website offers the following bio however it is in Japanese. Perhaps a bilingual Seibertronian could offer their translation services for all of to enjoy. Feast your eyes on the following high quality images of Roadbuster mirrored below.

クラウド世界・時空警察オートボットの戦士ロードバスター。彼が所属するレッカーズは時空界の秩序を脅かすあらゆる問題へと対処するオートボット内の特殊部隊だ。過酷な任務のため気性の激しい者が多いレッカーズにおいて、ロードバスターは真面目な人柄と任務への実直さから仲間内での信頼も厚い。だが戦いに生きる彼は戦闘以外のことに苦手意識を持つ不器用なところがあり、時空界の平和のため戦う自分がその平和になじめないのではないかという葛藤を常に抱えている。だがそれも彼が真面目すぎるゆえであり、本来の彼は優しく穏やかな心を持っているのだ。誰よりも仲間を大切にする普段の行動がそれを物語っている。
戦闘だけでなく武器の開発や整備にも長けているロードバスターは、自ら調整した複数の銃器からなる愛用の武装「キャリバーアームズ」を駆使し、それらを組み合わせることであらゆる局面へ臨機応変に対応することが可能だ。
「SARA」の未知なる力、ディメンションモードを彼がもし得たならば、多くの時空世界と仲間を救う偉大な勇者となるであろう。そんな彼を平和な世界と仲間達はきっと暖かく迎え入れてくれるに違いない。

[Mkall]

I shall pose him next to Armada Hot Shot and the few other AEC figures I have.

[robotmel]

He looks great and would make a perfect homage to G1 Tagetmaster Crosshairs for many a folks Classics collection.
Just a shame hes not being made available at general retail stores such as Toys R Us or the like.
Even picking him up via sometime celebrity TF seller lena81822 could prove somewhat expensive, should he manage to escape the factory somehow!

[rockman_fan]

with this figure i am like drooling





if this is popular i could see it as a new figure for Energon Ironhide

though i can see the replies disagreeing or saying no

[RhA]

I was psyched, but Ironhide needs a new face. This one is to robotic. I mean, even for Ironhide.

[Cyber Bishop]

Ew.. Not digging the colors.

[Sabrblade]

im sure the demand for THIS must have been staggering. seriously, energon offered NOTHING in terms of character. why this?

The show may have been vapid, but the toyline offered plenty of awesomeness. And since Ironhide's toy was one of the weaker ones, this gives us a better figure to display with his superior contemporaries.

And the mold being the same as Hasbro's Roadbuster, just happens to have the same name as Takara did for Superlink Roadbuster.

[Evil Eye]

I think I need this. I don't have an Ironhide in my collection and this one looks like it would hit the spot.

It's a shame the show sucked so bad, because the Energon toyline was one of the best in the franchise. Good to see it getting some love.

(Also, Energon Divebomb redecoed in G1 Laserbeak colours with new chromed guns when? That figure is the best goddamn bird Transformer ever, and I reckon it would look great in Laserbeak colours...)

He and a similar Buzzsaw already exist, BotCon 2006:

On the flip side of the high quality Transformers Cloud TFC-A04 Roadbuster images, we turn to e-HOBBY for some high quality images of TFC-D04 Hellwarp. Hellwarp is a repaint of Generations Sky-Byte. The website offers the following bio however it is in Japanese. Perhaps a bilingual Seibertronian could offer their translation services for all of us to enjoy.

ヘルワープは瀕死の重傷を負ったスカイワープがメガトロンの手により再生・進化した姿である。以前よりも大型かつ異形のボディを得て、その意識と記憶はスカイワープのままだが凶暴性が増し力を振るうことを楽しむ好戦的な性格となった。それが無理な進化の弊害なのか、今まで抑圧されていたスカイワープの本性なのかはもはや誰にも分からない。
左腕の主武装ヘルワインダーから放たれる螺旋状の光弾は、拡散させ広範囲の敵を撃ち抜くことが可能だ。だが彼の最大の武器はスカイワープ時代から持つワープ能力である。以前はエネルギーの消費も激しく持て余していた力であったが、メガトロンよりSARAの力の片鱗を与えられた今その欠点は克服され、短距離ではあるが自由自在な連続ワープが可能となった。鋼鉄さえも引き裂く鋭利なヒレと牙を持つビーストモードで空中を泳ぐように進み、海面のように大地からワープアウトし襲いかかる彼にとって、陸海空すべての空間は哀れな獲物が逃げ惑う狩猟場となる。
『SARA』の未知なる力、ディメンションモードを得たとき、ヘルワープは時空世界さえも越えるワープ能力を獲得し、全時空界の生きとし生けるもの全てが彼の標的となるであろう。

Google Translate is quite interesting with those:

Roadbuster-
Road warrior Buster cloud the world-space-time police Autobots. It's special forces of the Autobots in dealing Wreckers he belongs to any issues that threaten the order of the space-time world. In Wreckers person of violent temper, the more trust in fellow is also thick from honesty to the mission and serious personality load Buster for harsh mission. But suffer always a conflict there is a place clumsy to have a berth to combat other than his live to fight, his fight for the peace of the space-time world that do not do not get used to the peace. But it also is because he is too serious, he of the original's have a gentle and calm mind. Behavior usually to cherish the fellow is tell the story better than anyone.
Load Buster are skilled to maintenance and development of weapons not only combat, corresponding flexibly to all aspects by making full use of armed favorite consisting of firearms a plurality of adjusting themselves to "Caliber Arms", to combine them it's possible.
If he got the power if the unknown of "SARA", the dimension mode, it would be a great hero to save the world and fellow space-time of many. Comrades and peaceful world is not warm difference to me I'm sure such a welcomed him.

Hellwarp-
Heruwapu is a figure which Sky Warp seriously injured dying was playing and evolution at the hands of Megatron. To give a body of irregular shape and large than before, and memory that consciousness remains of Sky Warp, but became a personality warlike enjoy that ferocity can wield the force increases. We do not know anyone anymore it is whether the adverse effects of excessive evolution, is whether the nature of Sky Warp which had been suppressed until now.
Light bullets emitted spiral, although it is possible to shoot out a wide range of enemies is diffused from the main armed Hell winder left arm. But the greatest weapon of his is a warp ability to have from Sky Warp era. Previously had a power consumption of energy was also bored violently, but its drawback is overcome now given a glimpse of the power of SARA than Megatron, albeit at a short distance, but it has become possible to freely and continuous warp. For him to go to swim through the air in Beast mode with sharp fangs fins and tearing even steel, attacked warp out Mr. from the earth as the sea level, the space of all land, sea and air becomes a hunting ground that pathetic prey Nigemadou.
Force the unknown of "SARA", when you give the dimension mode, Heruwapu won the warp ability to cross even space-time world, all living things of all space-time world would be the target of his.

And seeing the gobbledygook that Google chucked out of its machine translation, we can certainly see why.

Yeah,
“But suffer always a conflict there is a place clumsy to have a berth to combat other than his live to fight, his fight for the peace of the space-time world that do not do not get used to the peace.”

And,
“We do not know anyone anymore it is whether the adverse effects of excessive evolution, is whether the nature of Sky Warp which had been suppressed until now.” Yes?

As soon as I read your crosshairs comparison, I jumped on the preorder. I got the mastershooter collectibles targetmaster set so im set. Screw energon Ironhide, this will be my crosshairs. I might also consider buying Shockwave and use them as G2 wreckers along with the mech ideas repaints at some point. (sorry I hate SG)
