Via Dengeki Hobby, we have our first look at the next two releases in the Transformers Cloud series. On the Autobot side we have Roadbuster, a Transformers Energon Ironhide themed repaint of Generations Roadbuster. He’s the fourth wave’s Takara-Tomy Mall exclusive, and works shockingly well in the Energon Ironhide deco.
On the Decepticon side we have Hellwarp, a Skywarp themed recolor of Generations Skybyte. Hellwarp is the E-Hobby exclusive of the fourth set of Cloud releases. He’s got an involved backstory – while Hellwarp is a complete new, non-homage character, there was a Hellscream in 1998’s Beast Wars Second, who was a remold of Cybershark to represent an evolved version of that show’s Starscream. Hellwarp is a similar concept – a recolored version of Generations Skybyte to represent a cyborg shark evolution of skywarp. To top it off, the mohawk head that using the Skybyte mold gives Skywarp just might be a reference to Transformers Armada Skywarp, who also had a fin on his head.
