Oh hell yeah. I am waiting it out for the first week though. From experience, he gets about 50 or so, so I will wait for the prices to quiet down and hopefully snatch him for 30$ or less. The odd thing about this one is that the shipping isnt free.

This mold is TERRIBLE. They should have buried the thing before it even made it to production, let alone releasing a grossly overpriced repaint of it. Silly knee joints that barely made the thing posable, ankle joints that try to buckle under the weight, arms that are too short and can barely bend, and the fact that the thing is nothing more than a shellformer.
Nothing good about it whatsoever. I would rather have a broken head on my Brainstorm than this mold in its "perfected" form.

I disagree, I think its a fantastic mold and great improvement since it actually uses the shark head as the chest without using fake kibble like the original. The legs are super stable if you tab in the knees properly and I am impressed with how well he balances. This toy has flaws, sure (the Hasbro deco doesn’t help), but I dont get the complaint about its shell. It's a great improvement in terms of the shell over its original toy. What used to look like an amazon canopy in the back is now reduced to two small wings that can be rearranged any way that suits you.

I never cared for the original, but I bought the Generations one just because I am a completest. It might be an improvement on the older one, but if so, in my opinion that is like saying a fart is an improvement over raw sewage. I wanted to like it, but in the end I could not based on the ankle, knee, and arm joints. The shell might be an improvement, but its still a shell. So many other figures they could have chose from......like a Voyager Shockwave. FOC Shockwave works because that was its look in the comics, but why we haven't had a generations or even a classics style Shockwave is beyond me. Let alone four other dinobots.
I don't even remember this character from IDW. Is Skybyte even in the comics?

Was it in the storyline that covers the giveaways in the comics? Sorry, when I said that I refer to the comics given with any of the Generations figures. I haven't read any outside of that. I see Ironhide is sporting his WFC/FOC look. Is that his most current look? Since we suspect he will be a redeco of Offroad in the CW subline I would have thought they updated it? I see Starscream has his G1 colors rather than the newer red deco, so I assume this issue is at least a year old?

From 2012, RID #5. The Generations toy uses a few design ques from this incarnation but isn't a direct match.

I rather like these colors. I do hope to get the Skybyte figure at some point in the near future, if the price is right.

Oh prices are right. The same guy selling hellwarp on e-bay is usually the lowest price you'll find. He also has the hasbro sky-byte right now and he should be going away for very little I recon.

That would be that red and blue Gen. Roadbuster, homaging Energon Ironhide (who was called Roadbuster in Japan). Some see him more as the G1 Targetmaster Crosshairs.

Ah, but was Energon Ironhide homaging G1 crosshairs? Because the other Energon Irohnide deco was homagin G1 Hound. So there could have been a bunch of homage double dipping.
Like one thing I am curious of is generations corsscut. Is it a modernising of the exclusive G1 crosscut that was released way after the facts or an homage to the Honda diaclone model that was not chosen for the Transformers line back in the day? Or both at the same time?

I'd say both at the same time, as he along with Road Rage are based on Diaclone-original decos. And there are still more to be potentially had, as there are red and black versions of the Honda City Turbo mold as well.

Oh yeah, there were a bunch initially
You know, for those diaclones, I really wish there were rereleases of the actual diaclone toy rather than a transformers encore. Like ratchet and ironhide. They have redone those a few times but it would be really cool for one set to come with the little guys so that it could be "played with" properly. And Wheeljack's cockpit is so detailed I wish I had a little diaclone guy to man it.

People just prefer to think of the Cloud Roadbuster toy as a stand in for a CHUG Crosshairs since it has close-enough colors to G1 Crosshairs.

Good news for you Robotmetal:
Right off the heels of the Cloud Hellwarp images, E-bay seller lena81822 has posted images of upcoming Transformers Cloud TFC-A04 Autobot Roadbuster to go with the toy's listings. Cloud Roadbuster uses the Generations Roadbuster mold with deco homaging Energon Ironhide.

Speaking of those colors, I always did prefer the deco of Super Link Roadbuster over Energon Ironhide. It's just too bad that the latter was the more show-accurate version.Samsonator wrote:I must admit, the Roadbuster mold does look fantastic in those colours.

Ironhide was one of the first Transformer figures I got back during the Energon line. I dig the colors here, but wish it had a new head. Doesn't look like the kind of figure I's pay Cloud Prices for.

Same here. I got them and have no issues. Granted I am very careful with them and dont transform them on a regular basis like some collectors who fiddle with their toys all the time. I contemplated buying this roadbuster to be crosshairs, but then I figured somebody eventually will do all the targetmasters in a more proper fashion. Then I would be stuck with yet another high priced repaint to join my pile of funpub exclusives that ended up getting an original figure down the line. Instead, I opted to buy cloud rodimus. I think its time to start displaying protector in vehicle mode for a while.

The Cloud stuff was already on sale for $72, and as of last week they're remaining stock is at $68... I'm still waiting for this week's, though. I've got my eye on that Starscream.

The Cloud stuff was already on sale for $72, and as of last week they're remaining stock is at $68... I'm still waiting for this week's, though. I've got my eye on that Starscream.

It may not pertain to the figures from the Takara Tomy Transformers Cloud line, but we have news from website e-Hobby that the entirety of the story accompanying the line will be released in an omnibus comic book edition, written by Makoto Wakabayashi and with art by Naoto Tsushima. The book will feature 24 pages of adapted script, and be included with any order of TFC-D01 Megatron, TFC-D02 Starscream, TFC-D03 Shockwave, or TFC-D04 Hellwarp - check out the cover art below!

This is really cool that these are being collected together.
Would love to get my hands on one but i doubt i will be shelling out for one of the figs anytime soon.
Hopefully some pop up on Ebay down the line.

It's cool that they're compiling all the text stories together.

I have just realised that, with a different head, this would make a pretty good custom IDW Roller. I might have to look into that.

Sure are! Originally I didn't clue in, but the back wings really call back to the seeker homage Hellwarp is portraying!megatronus wrote:Are those sharks... all yours??

Japanese blogger (and possible cat enthusiast) Mangod uploaded a handful of images featuring the comic that comes with Takara's Transformers: Cloud release of Hellwarp. Of interesting note is that the one of the pages feature Generations Jhiaxus... perhaps hinting at a Takara release of the Cybertronian Empire's leader/Nova Prime's go-to mad scientist? Whatever the case, check out the preview pages below!

Hah, Cloud Megatron is getting all DotM and that's a Soundwave in the background, possibly based on Prime Vehicon according to the blogger... with Gul as Laserbeak?
Don't tell me that Cloud made aspects of the Movie Universe leak into other Universes, that's FunPub's job

Alright, if they end up making Soundwave out of the RiD Vehicon mold I NEED it. Easily one of my absolute favorite molds, and since my favorite character's always been Soundwave the combo is too good to miss.

"Cloud" is just the drunken Japanese version of Shattered Glass in my opinion. I suppose you could take Cloud Roadbuster and Whirl and display them with Mech Ideas Prototype X and Project Z to have Shattered Glass Wreckers.
I bought Cloud Roadbuster to use as G1 Crosshairs and Cloud Rodimus to give FP Protector a much needed chance to display his awesome alt mode. I dont need any of the other Cloud figures. They missed a tremendous oppurtunity to do Cybershark.

While I agree on Cybershark, I disagree on "drunken". I think they chose molds really well, and the paint jobs given were A++. And I'm not even worried about the BW homage. HasTak likes to get their monies worth out of every mold, one that requires zero retooling is a no brainer. And it might even be standard retailer.

It's a more active version of FunPub's TransTech, really IMO... The somewhat open ending could lead to a sequel line, only with Deluxes. Vehicon Soundwave and Jhiaxus anyone?
