BLOODY HELL HOW MUCH?!?!!!!! Ha! It's odd that because I've been buying so many 3rd-party figures recently, it didn't immediately occur to me how inflated that price is. Maybe there's only going to be a very limited run or something?  EDIT: I really shouldn't be making excuses for them. I'm sorry... |

Why is it called 'Transformers Cloud' anyway? I'm glad you asked... Maybe you don't actually ever get to own them and can just view / manipulate them via Takara's new cloud storage medium. The massive over-pricing of digital media might explain the inflation you've seen in online stores.  |

Why is it called 'Transformers Cloud' anyway? Because the prices are from cuckoo land? |

With the new photos, Brawn has grown on me. The colours do evoke the cartoon appearance quite well. And it is a fantastic mould. It's far too over priced, but if this had made it out as part of the much cheaper GDO line I probably would have gotten it.

I do kind of like the look of OP, but not at those prices.
There is something kind of endearing about Brawn, but more than anything I'd like to see an homage to his G1 toy design.

And very cheap in online stores in about six months after they can't shift them at $100.

Prime looks really out of place using a mould that was designed for him. Bizarrely something like TFP Ultra Magnus repainted as Prime would have been better suited and as a bonus would have had a very G1 looking vehicle mode.

I think the price range is bonkers. I wonder if these will go down. I recall Robot Masters going cheap towards the end of its run.

There is precedent, Artfire and Stepper both dropped in price big time in the last few years and I imagine both would have appealed to more people than these. Course if they do ever go on sale they'll sell out in seconds. |

That is absolutely the most boring deco that mold has ever had.
I get that the air foil was done in black to replicate his ion cannon, but good goddess does it look horrible in all modes.
The white legs and crotch look horrible and garish, and he is painfully devoid of paint apps. Especially in truck mode.
Pretty sure the foil is painted black, as I'm sure it's gangmolded to the red parts. And if that's the case, that is the worst waist of expensive paint apps I've ever seen.

That Shockwave is... hideous. And yes, also wrong.
Of course, subsequent pictures may give us a better view, and it might not be as bad. But I fail to see how.

Given that there's been no proper classics Shockwave, even from a 3P, Whirl's the best substitute so far.
