There is some really nice artwork there! I'm still not sure what the whole Cloud thing is all about, and was not too keen on the looks of the toys themselves, but dang that is pretty art.

Nice artwork. See Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus again, wonder if he'll get a cloud release, as I don't think he's been released in Japan yet?

He turned out to be a red herring. As it is now, the Cloud line is fully revealed after Roadbuster and Hellwarp, and the story is over, done.

Looks good until you get to the stupid generic aninimu girl. Could have done with out it.

That's amazing art. I haven't been following the Cloud story but I really want some of the toys (Roadbuster/Ironhide and Hellwarp especially) and those art pieces are phenomenal.

Also am I the only one who likes the cute anime girl thing? I dunno, I think she's adorable.

That thing is a computer intelligence, not a girl. SARA is its name.

Whatever she is, she's adorable and I want to pat her on the head.

It's happening to Ironhide as well- MEATHANDVIRUS!

Also, my original reply was going to be "Which Prime?"

Robo-knuckles.

A little too human, maybe, but it would appear that these hands are mechanical segments within a rubbber skin to protect them, ratuer than the more commonly segmented exposed joints.

Suprised no one's caught that there are two Optimus Primes in that pic. :-B

With the whole universe-crossing schtick, nothing surprises us in that aspect. :lol:

Those two are G1 Convoy and Cloud Optimus Prime for those who don't know.

The Japanese artist who did the THS-02 up comics also used the same style with the hands. Really, these artists really amp up their crafts!

I know this is an old topic to bring up now, but is anyone else loving Cloud Optimus Prime as their "Classics" Prime now? I switched out the black smoke stacks and wind vane for the smoke stacks from 2006 Classics Prime and the wind vane from Evolution 2-Pack Prime, and now I've got a Classics Prime with a screen accurate G1 paint job. (I like to leave the back pack on in robot mode and attach the smoke stacks to better approximate the G1 look.) I also gave him an extra gun and energon axe from the Generations Orion Pax figure. I'd love the Evolutions 2-Pack Prime if it weren't for the yellow eyes. Henkei Prime is not bad either, but has some extra embellishments in his paint apps compared to the cartoon look.

thats crazy... does the red plastic match with all those versions? care to post any pics?

News Credits: 65 · by **Wolfman Jake** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 11:30 pm

The red plastic between Cloud Optimus and Evolution Optimus is a VERY good match. Not perfect, but damn near close. The smokestacks are all black across every version of Optimus, with variations in the amount of silver paint used for detailing. I'll try to post some pics when I have the time.

cool thanks!

May I email the pics to you, shajaki? They're far to large of files to attach to a post here, and I don't really have a space to upload them and hotlink a URL either. You can just PM me your preferred address.
