In-Hand Images of Transformers Cloud Starscream

Mistransformed or not, Cloud Starscream is gorgeous.

Va'al wrote:Last we saw of Takara Tomy's Transformers Cloud storyline, we had some teasing allusions to the inclusion of more toys into the exclusive repaint/repurpose line. The Takara Tomy website has of course been updated fairly regularly with new installments of the story itself, though all in Japanese, including new artwork by Nagi Miyako - and another chapter recently went up! Check out a recap of all the images below, featuring Generations toys from Perceptor to Bruticus, and the Beast Wars cast, as Shockwave (a redeco of Whirl) battles Rodimus (a redeco of Springer) and head here for the text!

it looks like starscream wants some bubblegum and kick some tailgate (arcee cries)

no need to worry i think both figure would look good as repurposings as SG whirl and Starscream respectively and could you beam me down some ribs from Famous Daves please
sorry for the star trek joke

but that looks nothing like SG Starscream.

what would his earth mode look like then if it wouldn't be that ?

He doesn't have an Earth mode (he kept his Cybertronian form).

Nor does he have those colors.

oh ok thanks

Fellow Seibertron.com user chachipower was nice enough to send us a video review of the not-too-recently released, but somehow overlooked since September Takara Tomy Cloud Starscream! The figure, as a reminder, is part of the Cloud section of Transformers, featuring repaints and redecos of Hasbro Generations figures - in this case, Blitzwing and Doubledealer lend their body to Screamer. Check it out below.

Looks awful IMO. Definitely not a fan of this mould.

GF Starscream mold (Voyager), G1 Jetfire colors

Jelze,
When?
Where?
This is so AWESOME.
I've never seen before.

Cover the ears of your wallet. This Starscream is a BotCon 2008 Exclusive, part of the "Shattered Glass" negative universe that's full of fanwank obscure references. In this case, Starscream has Jetfire's colors as a reference to their friendship in the G1 cartoon.

That's Shattered Glass for ya.


Ignore Cliffjumper

Nope. Google Image Search results.

Yeah, the person who took that pic included Classics Cliffjumper since he met and teamed up with the SG Decepticons in the first comic.

Cobotron wrote:I know it's been around for a while, but where does the SG concept come from?
Some fiction, or is it just a good excuse to make cool repaints?

It started as the theme of BotCon 2008 and has kinda stuck around since. It began with a since comic issue, but then grew bigger with text stories and some magazine comic issues, all published by Fun Publications for the Transformers Collectors Club.

It's basically the Transformers take on the age old science fiction concept of an alternate universe where everything's backwards. Good guys are evil. Bad guys are good. Rights are wrong. Wrongs are right. History's inverted. Etc. etc.

Such iconic examples from the past would be Star Trek's Mirror Universe that had Evil Spock with a goatee, and DC Comics's Earth-3 that had the Crime Syndicate of America (evil Justice League).
