From Dengeki Hobby. Energon Ironhide (Superlink Roadbuster) and... BWII Cyborg Beast Skywarp?
Cloud Roadbuster is a neat homage to Energon Ironhide (aka Super Link Roadbuster); so I can see what they did there. Hellwarp feels like more a stretch though -- yeah, I get the Beast Wars Starscream ---> Hellscream ---> retooled Cybershark ---> TM2 Cybershark ---> Gelshark ---> Sky Byte (RiD---> Generations) ---> Starscream ---> G1 Seekers ---> Skywarp ---> Hellwarp... but far out... talk about degrees of separation!![]()
Well thats another Cloud wave I couldn't care less about.![]()
I'm not overly impressed with that roadbuster but I don't mind the colour scheme on hellwarp. Once I have sky byte in hand I'll make up my mind whether the mould worth getting a second time

Beast Wars/Machines/Neo/Second
Roadbuster looks like one of those random-coloured generic background bots you see in the original series comic or cartoon. And that's probably why it intrigues me so much.
Skywarp is a favourite character of mine, so I'm still undecided on him being a mutant shark.
I would get the Cloud set of eight if they weren't so darn expensive, even by TakaraTomy price standards.
Optimus was boring, but the other seven either look really nice, or creative enough to get, just for fascination.
Novel ideas, if these were normally priced repaints I'd consider them, but total pass on Cloud prices.
How does one actually go about getting these? I really like the look of Rodimus and Shockwave (which I'm going to keep insisting is in homage to the Transformers 2007 game Shockwave) but am unsure if/when they're out and how to get them
I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

Looking at Cloud Roadbuster/Ironhide as a repaint of G1 Roadbuster, you can forget for a moment how annoying that character was in the cartoon.
