Cloud Roadbuster Video Now Online

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:

what are hey timing self for when transforming figure?

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

Nagi Miyako has just posted a lot of the artwork he did for Takara Tomy on his Deviant Art account. These artworks are created for the Transformers Cloud story chapters. Check these amazing artwork we've mirrored below for your viewing pleasures and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

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?

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.

Ah.

There is some really nice artwork there! I'm still not sure what the whole Cloud thing is all about, and was not too keen on the looks of the toys themselves, but dang that is pretty art.

Nice artwork. See Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus again, wonder if he'll get a cloud release, as I don't think he's been released in Japan yet?

that art brings a ridiculous amount of life to straight repaint line. makes me wish there was a show built around it!

I love this art!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He turned out to be a red herring. As it is now, the Cloud line is fully revealed after Roadbuster and Hellwarp, and the story is over, done.

Looks good until you get to the stupid generic aninimu girl. Could have done with out it.

That's amazing art. I haven't been following the Cloud story but I really want some of the toys (Roadbuster/Ironhide and Hellwarp especially) and those art pieces are phenomenal.

Also am I the only one who likes the cute anime girl thing? I dunno, I think she's adorable.

That thing is a computer intelligence, not a girl. SARA is its name.

Whatever she is, she's adorable and I want to pat her on the head.

Closer look:

YEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUURRRRRRRCCCHHHHH what is going on with Prime's hands?

Delta Magnus wrote:YEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUURRRRRRRCCCHHHHH what is going on with Prime's hands?

Robo-knuckles.

Delta Magnus wrote:YEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUURRRRRRRCCCHHHHH what is going on with Prime's hands?

It's happening to Ironhide as well- MEATHANDVIRUS!

Also, my original reply was going to be "Which Prime?"

A little too human, maybe, but it would appear that these hands are mechanical segments within a rubbber skin to protect them, ratuer than the more commonly segmented exposed joints.

Suprised no one's caught that there are two Optimus Primes in that pic.

Sabrblade wrote:Suprised no one's caught that there are two Optimus Primes in that pic.

With the whole universe-crossing schtick, nothing surprises us in that aspect. Those two are G1 Convoy and Cloud Optimus Prime for those who don't know.

The Japanese artist who did the THS-02 up comics also used the same style with the hands. Really, these artists really amp up their crafts!

I know this is an old topic to bring up now, but is anyone else loving Cloud Optimus Prime as their "Classics" Prime now? I switched out the black smoke stacks and wind vane for the smoke stacks from 2006 Classics Prime and the wind vane from Evolution 2-Pack Prime, and now I've got a Classics Prime with a screen accurate G1 paint job. (I like to leave the back pack on in robot mode and attach the smoke stacks to better approximate the G1 look.) I also gave him an extra gun and energon axe from the Generations Orion Pax figure. I'd love the Evolutions 2-Pack Prime if it weren't for the yellow eyes. Henkei Prime is not bad either, but has some extra embellishments in his paint apps compared to the cartoon look.

thats crazy... does the red plastic match with all those versions? care to post any pics?

The red plastic between Cloud Optimus and Evolution Optimus is a VERY good match. Not perfect, but damn near close. The smokestacks are all black across every version of Optimus, with variations in the amount of silver paint used for detailing. I'll try to post some pics when I have the time.

cool thanks!

May I email the pics to you, shajaki? They're far to large of files to attach to a post here, and I don't really have a space to upload them and hotlink a URL either. You can just PM me your preferred address.

Try imgur. I use it to post my pics.

im getting roddy for sure. but i was about to pass on shocky... but he looks pretty good in hand. im close to biting, but i wonder how he scales next to classics megatron. a 3P upgrade (hands and proper gun hand) would make him more enticing.

A quick search around brought up this pic:

thanks!

maaaannnn.... he scales beautifully... you may have sealed the deal sabre

Fellow Seibertron.com user Arctorro has pointed us in the direction of Photobucket user MASABON1980, and their in-hand images of the Transformers Cloud Hot Rodimus and Shockwave figures, the eHobby and TakaraTomyMall repaints of Generations Springer and Whirl. We've mirrored some of them below, so why not take a look? The rest can be found here!

SARA looms ominously in the background of their packaging.

I decided to drop my preorder for Whirl-wave. I like him, but not for 90 bucks. Hopefully he'll go into clearance like many of the existing Cloud figures.

Woot Woot Arctorro!

Not sure on the translucent pink for his weapons (would have preferred chromed silver myself) but the mold works surprisingly well for him. Also that Rodimus is sublime.

And that Whirl versus Megatron pic makes me like the Classics Megatron mold a whole lot more. The Takara paintjob probably helps. If it weren't for the fact I really don't like Megatron as a gun (it's just silly even by "objectformer" standards) I'd try and get him.

Cloud Hot Rod is VERY tempting. I love the shade of maroon they used for him.

I don't like how it clashes with the orange they used though.

I was expecting more of a true red myself, but I don't think the maroon looks half bad.

Isn't the maroon pretty much spot on for his Rodimus Prime coloring?

So I'm not the only one thinking that.

I've got Rodimus paid for at RK (along with a few things coming next year ) and was a bit concerned about the colours at first, but I think they work well.
