Possible Cloud Hot Rodimus (digibash)

Low-res scans of Cloud Hot Rodimus. Looks like initial responses has not been enthusiastic. What is everyone's thoughts?

Edit: Please note that the above picture is a digibash and not officially released material from Takara Tomy.

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!

No.

No.

Do you mind clarifying yoru position? you're not being very clear.

I don't really see the point of any of these "cloud" figures. it's all coming across a bit meh for me. They feel like repaints for the sake of repaints.

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.
