It says that they're fan made mock up images, so we still don't exactly know what the actual product is meant to look like. For me it's a pass. The mould was great as Springer and it worked as Sandstorm (sure it had its limitations, but it worked). To me it doesn't quite work as Hot Rod. Looks okay in robot mode, but the armoured car and helicopter mode don't suit the character IMO (nor the sword).
The only Cloud TF I'm getting atm is Megatron because I never got the Asian Generations Megatron (retool of ROTF Bludgeon). Even that's a bit of a stretch for me because I do already have ROTF Bludgeon and TF2010 Banzaitron. None of the other Cloud TFs have interested me thus far.
I like it. It works well for a IDW Rodimus or a Rodimus Prime compaired to the Classics Rodimus.
I certainly wouldn't have it's 3rd mode, but the car looks pretty good in red.
Ditto. If they want to go in a new direction with the character, I quite liked Energon Rodimus - I thought he was cool!Quote:

I was worried for a sec when I saw the title. This weekend, I had just spent $80 securing a Fansproject Protector set with Sidearm and reprolabels.
But then I saw the pics.
Keep in mind that the picture isn't from Takara. It is a digibash by a fan based on information and single piece of art released for the storyline.
It says it in the link provided:
IF the product is real (and from what I have read it is only speculation based on the comic pictures released for the figures) then it could look completely different and probably a hell of a lot more polished.Quote:
Check out the fan made image below for a look at what the Transformers Cloud Hot Rodimus Triple Changer figure could look like.
I've only recently opened Sandstorm and Springer and when I saw this thread I was completely skeptical. But the digibash changed my mind. It looks alright, not something I need to own but totally okay.
I wonder if this explains a pic that one of the comics colourists recently posted on twitter with Rodimus from MTMTE #1 in Springer's colours (which also looked better than you'd think)
