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!

And to my disappointment no teasers for the next Decepticon Cloud figure. The Autobot one has been teased as Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus but who will be his adversary?

Bruticus is wielding Shockwave in a gun mode (a la "The Revenge of Bruticus"), but which cannot be achieved with the actual toys.

Shockwave is showcasing his fourth mode: an artillery cannon which is just a reversed Gerwalk mode. Bruticus wields him akin to a scene in the G1 cartoon, except he does so willingly.

So this is like Sixshot's "Wingwolf" mode, Ovelord's combined jet mode, or Black Zarak's "Daikatsu" (sp?) mode, then? Something made up for the fiction by fiddling around with the toy, but is (probably) not in the instructions?

We haven't seen Shockwave's instructions yet, but if that mode's in it, it's truly official. Those are official pics btw.

this person can't even TRY to get the figure transformed correctly? every picture they post looks like a picture of a figure that was just pulled out of a box at a garage sale.

I'm sure he doesn't care. It's what he's known for now. Early toys and bad transformations. Don't understand why people are so offended by it.

Mistransformed or not, Cloud Starscream is gorgeous.

huh, looks like they abandoned the idea of having ShockWhirl's claws and weapons cast in translucent purple. That's a little disappointing.

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

Nor does he have those colors.

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.

Wow. I really like how this turned out. The bonus tank mode took a while to warm up to, but with the null rays.... Looks great. Hope they do the other two seekers.

I'd add, if you get the add-on kit for DoubleDealer to add the missile, makes the three quite different in each mode.

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.

They're all so cool, even Cliff.
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?

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.

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).

Cliff was the positive universe guy who ended up on the wrong side among all the Shattered Glass cast. I love the notion, toys, and fiction. Great fun. Too bad they are so pricy after the fact. It's hard to jump into collecting them now. Box set runs a good grand.

Re: Takara Tomy Transformers Cloud - Chapter 3 Ends (1623420)
Posted by Cobotron on November 20th, 2014 @ 2:24pm CST

I see. Created by the fan club.
So it IS a great excuse to make really cool repaints.

Sounds like an evil plot to me.
A plot to get more of my money. :lol:

I'm disappointed Animated never got to do their own Shattered Glass episode, and that Prime was "too serious" for it (just imagine what a SG Knock Out would be like!).

Re: Takara Tomy Transformers Cloud - Chapter 3 Ends (1623442)
