I've done a side-by-side comparison w/ ROTF Bludgeon, and as I initially suspected, not only do the rear panels on Cloud Megatron fail to sit flush as they do on Bludgeon, but the swords are a LOT softer. When ROTF Bludgeon first came out, I thought that his swords were incredibly soft, but they're positively rock hard compared to Cloud Megatron's swords! Cloud Megatron's swords are so soft that they wobble like jelly if you shake them. On the plus side, they clip into the hands really easily and it doesn't feel like there's as much (if any) risk of the handles placing stress on the thumbs and potentially breaking them. The plastic on the legs are soft enough that it doesn't allow the knees to bend without the lower legs popping off.

The paint operations on Cloud Megatron are a bit sloppy in some places on my figure. There's a small red smudge on one panel in tank mode, and some of the silver on the chest and white on the face has some unpainted spots exposed (making it look like it's been chipped). The paint on the tank treads are also more easily prone to chipping; I have some on mine which have already chipped just from transforming. I hope this isn't a sign of quality issues for other Cloud TFs -- not that I personally intend on getting any others, but for anyone considering getting this or other Cloud TFs, please be wary.
