Rodimus Prime has done some good flying in a spaceship. Didn't he crash a ship into someone's eye?

He is pretty awesome, the shoulder issue is still there with the mold but paint apps are really nice, Not sure if we can tell from any of the pictures we've seen before but the chest is a really nice red metallic color. the MP null rays can fit in the back like we've seen before but the fit was really tight and I have to shave the hole a little bit before I can get it in on one of the shoulders. Not sure if that is a general issue or if it was just mine. Only problem is that now that I have him... I don't really know where to display him with.. Kind of a one of sorta deal I think if you're not collecting the whole cloud line that is.

here is a crappy cell phone pic

yeah a little bit of both. they already made an original triple changing Springer (besides 1986 version) but can't make an original Rodimus... w/ a trailer?

If it helps any, almost all of the Cloud cameos were either in FoC or Classics-verse bodies. In fact, Cloud Starscream's first body was repurposed from FoC Starscream.

Honestly I'd get Cloud Megatron if I didn't already have 2 Megatrons and wasn't after the original version of the Bludgeon mold.

The official Takara Tomy YouTube channel has updated with a video of the upcoming Cloud Roadbuster figure, showing off his transformation. We've embedded the tweet linking us to the video, the video itself, and before you check those out, please stop by our galleries of the Generations Roadbuster mold, on which this figure is based, and the Energon Ironhide mold that it homages.

Here are the embeds below:

I think I'm gonna get that [s]Crosshairs[/s] Roadbuster figure. Roddy is cool to the more I look at him but no. I love how the Autobots all seem to have their arms up like they are cheering over a wrestling match

Yeah, there's a bit of a story behind this video.

The reason the other three are all yelling near the beginning, and then cheering at the end, is because there was a previous video posted of a woman who tried to transform the Roadbuster toy before, but failed to because she couldn't figure it out. This video serves as a follow up to that one, with the person in this video succeeding where the other one didn't.

Here's the first video with the failed transformation attempt:

Wow. I didn't realize the Roadbuster mold was so retardedly simple until now.

Wow, that looked like a lot of work! Each one amazingly well drawn and coloured... Could do without that hentai girl in one of them though.

hentai? Btw, you do know it's meaning eh? hentai means not normal, perverted. I don't see anything about her beyond the norm from typical anime moe kawaii renders. She ain't naked, more like a cyborg.

Maybe it's you who's ******? <--- Staff edit by Autobot032: No, just no. Don't post comments like that again, please.

Art is just outstanding. By any chance was the artist also responsible for the Robot Master and Superlink mini comics?

News Credits: 668 · by **Autobot032** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 6:48 am

That art is amazing. It's quite possibly the best Transformers comic work I've ever seen. Just such painstaking detail. Wow.

The inclusion of Circuit Breaker is an odd one, at least to me, but perhaps in the story line it makes sense.

The art with BWII Glavatron's head is posted twice.

Circuit Breaker? Do you mean the teal-haired girl robot? That's SARA, a supercomputer intelligence given a humanoid form.
