Easily one of the heaviest-armed in the Deluxe class stands Hailstorm, named for him being able to launch 8 missiles upon the enemy. Genzhao of KOToys has managed to corner this bad boy for some very detailed photos. These images can all be seen here, although you have to register for a free forum account first.

This looks like it could be one of my favorite deluxe figures. He just looks so badass.

A little disappointed about the missiles, but at least he isn't covered in kibble.

Very, very chunky! I'm liking the giant-tread shoulders and the missle packs.

This guy was in the ROTF game wasn't he? Does this mean we'll be seeing more game characters?

Bot mode remionds me of the Dewbot from the first movie. And those missile drones from the ROTF game. Which means awesome.

Overall design and especially the head design makes him kinda look like Brawl's shorter, chunkier little brother. :D

I am extremely excited about this guy, which is odd since he's not an homage character or anything. Guess I feel the same way about him as I originally did Lockdown before he got any fiction.

Dissappointed...I thought with a name like "Hailstorm" for sure it would be a seeker or a movie take on the G1 lavender rainmaker. :-(

The vechicle mode is cool though, I might be interested if I could see a pic of the real vechicle from the cold world era. Im tired of seeing tanks made up that never really existed like the old deluxe Bludgon mold and silimar voyager class mold used in the classics line.

Isn't he an homage to G2 Mindset?

Perhaps, but we're getting a Mindset repaint first.

So huge firepower = arms practically dragging on the ground like an ape?

Not sure I like that.

I like the overall look of the figure, but the gold treads and missiles hanging out of the back are a bit much for me. I love the name though. That is a solid choice for a name.

I think I may be alone on this one, but the pics have definitely soured me on this guy. He's much too ape-like for my tastes, not to mention being far too squat and bulky. It's a pass for me. I was really looking forward to this guy too.

Still looking forward to this guy. I like where Hasbro is taking the HFTD line.
