We haven't heard much about the Takara Transformers Cloud line in a while, but thanks to Facebook page Planet Iacon we get a look at some in-hand images to TFC-AC01, Optimus Prime, and 02, Megatron, respectively based on the Classics/Henkei Voyager and the ROTF Bludgeon mold. In addition, some more Megatron images courtesy of MASABON1980, too, and some images from the included comic featuring the Generations Whirl styled Shockwave character, too - check them all out below!

That's not Generations Whirl. That's Cloud Shockwave who's an upcoming repaint of Generations Whirl.

It's certainly more show-accurate than and not as cluttered in color as the original Classics version.

In other words, dull. Sorry, but between the AOE 2-pack release being toy accurate and this cloud release being show accurate in their colors those 2 come across as the LEAST exciting releases of this mold thus far. True, each one has one point of major interest between lots of chrome on one and a G2 soundbox reference on the other, but on the whole they're very straitforward and meh. Neither of these will replace Henkei Convoy IME.

It's very plausible actually, as all Cloud releases have been Voyagers so far, and molds and retools initially skipped by TakaraTomy (excluding Prime and Rodimus should he be next of course).
However, this is all rumor and speculation at this point, even until the 4th and final releases.

TFC-D04 is Hellwarp, a redeco of Generations Sky-Byte in Skywarp colors. The name "Hellwarp" is likely a homage to the Beast Wars II iteration of Starscream who upgraded into a robotic shark form called "Hellscream", with this figure likewise replacing the first part of the Seeker name with "Hell" while retaining the name's second part, giving us "Hellwarp".

TFC-A04 is Roadbuster, a redeco of Generations Roadbuster in the colors of Energon Ironhide, who was named "Roadbuster" in Transformers: Super Link, the Japanese version of Energon.

Looks like Transformers: Cloud finally got interesting. At the rate they're actually releasing the figures, these should be out by 2018 or so, right?

Thanks to Dengeki Hobby, we get a look at the next two figures in the Transformers Cloud line. Using the Generations Sky-Byte and Roadbuster molds, we get TFC-D04 Hellwarp and TFC-A04 Roadbuster. These were on display at the Chara Hobby 2014 show.

Thanks to Seibertron member Sabrblade we learn that Hellwarp is a Skywarpish homage to Beast Wars II Hellscream, an upgraded cybernetic shark form of Starscream. Roadbuster is a homage to Energon Ironhide who was called Roadbuster in the Japanese version of Energon, Transformers Super Link.

Check out our galleries of Energon Ironhide and Beast Wars II Hellscream to see how the homages compare.

I was just thinking the other day that Sky-Byte would make a decent Hellscream and now here it is!

And my God! I thought Brawn was a lame homage to a D-list character among great repaints of A-list characters like Optimus, Rodimus, Megatron, Starscream, and Shockwave. Energon Ironhide? One of the most reviled toys and characters in Transformers history.

I have a feeling that as more time passes we will be getting more and obscure character references in toy form. Who seriously has some sort of appreciation for Energon Ironhide and his wide array of facial expressions?
Desepticon? What's up with the people who make these labels?

No new tooling on Roadbuster.

Also the article left out that Hellwarp is a Skywarp homage more than it is a Hellscream homage.

That Energon Ironhide actually looks pretty cool. I always liked the look of the original figure (which I sadly never got), and this is a good homage. It's a shame that the Energon cartoon sucked, but I can always just treat this as G1 Ironhide in a new body.

Also, this gives me an excuse to get this mold and still buy Fansproject's Roadbuster. And Recoiler and Riftshot whilst I'm at it.

(As for why this character is getting a homage, remember that Superlink was a lot less painful in Japanese- the animation still sucked and the plot was still kinda dull and overlong, but AFAIK the voice acting was decent and the dialogue actually made sense. Also I don't think Roadbuster/Ironhide was anywhere near as annoying in Japanese as he was in the dub- similar case to Chibi-Usa from Sailor Moon and poor, poor Shinji Ikari from Evangelion.)

As for Hellwarp? Weird, but I do like it. I'd love to get the Hellscream mold some day, so maybe when I have him and RID Sky-Byte I'll get this and have a trio of "Shark Seekers".

It's a little bit of both actually. you'll understand the colors chosen a bit more once you see Hellscream's original form:

Image

BWII Starscream's colors happen to be close to G1 Skywarp's colors (by coincidence, as it was originally meant for G2). So in a sense we have a Hellscream in his original Jet colors, which can double as a Skywarp homage, hence the name. Just be open-minded about the purple, it's such a hard color to get right.

And I'm calling it now: Cloud Roadbuster repurposed as SG Roadbuster :lol:

I'm thinking the connection to BWII Starscream's colors are a bit more coincidental, with the whole warp part of the name. Granted the Hell part is clearly drawing the connection to Hellscream (who was BWII Starscream and all that). So it's a Skywarp homage in color scheme and name, but the naming convention follows suit with Hellscream. Kind of like how when Hot Rod was upgraded into Rodimus Prime. He's an updated Hot Rod following the Optimus Prime naming convention, more than an homage to Optimus Prime.

Yeah, that's what I was going for when I first mentioned it. Guy with a Seeker name (Skywarp) gets a shark form that has the first part of his name replaced with "Hell" while keeping the same part of the name (Hellwarp).

Hellwarp is just...ugly with those colors. He looks like G1 Galvatron scanned Sky-Byte and it gave him unpleasant results.

We should also note that these will be the final releases for Cloud. And I will say they both came out of left field. Guess the Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus was a red herring.

Most should agree it's Lugnuts aka Road Storm.

Note: Blurzz was talking abut this guy, SG Treadshot:

Based on Armada Sideswipe, as Universe 2003 Treadshot was a repaint of him. No relation to G1 Treadshot.

He was the same as the US version. So they weren't going to repeat the same toy again. Just as Classics Astrotrain appeared as Cloud Astrotrain.

Hm, I could picture headswapping Roadbuster with an OP figure to get a kickass Optimus Prime.

Hellwarp?! I'm sorry, but the deco looks nothing like Hellscream. I get the idea of making a fusion between Hellscream's design and his previous color scheme of Starscream, but this is just silly looking.

He also kinda has the same colors as Starscream before he became Hellscream (not the G1 Starscream but the beast wars 2 Starscream)

The news post description is wrong. It misinterpreted what I said. The name is a homage to Hellscream, but the concept is "Skywarp as a shark".




He also kinda has the same colors as Starscream before he became Hellscream (not the G1 Starscream but the beast wars 2 Starscream)
By coincidence. The intent of this being "shark Seeker = Hell prefix" is obvious. Had it been Thundercracker's colors instead, the toy's name likely would have been "Hellcracker".

After all, none of the Cloud toys are the same characters as those they homage, all being unique iterations of those characters. Hellwarp is just another iteration of Skywarp.

looks like him to me

*Snippity snip*


Yes, he does. As I said:

I mean that I really can't stand the deco on this guy.

Ah, gotcha.

I get the idea of this Cloud line, but I just think in some cases they've hit gold (Cloud Rodimus being an example) and others they've hit a sewage line (Megatron, sorry, but he looks awful IMHO)
