TFW2005 member Masabon has kindly shared with us images of the latest releases in Takara-Tomy’s Transformers Cloud line. The newly released figures are Brawn, who is a Takara-Tomy Mall exclusive and a remold of Transformers Prime First Edition Bulkhead. Joining him is a triple-changing Starscream who is a redeco of Generations Doubledealer, with the nul-rays from Masterpiece Starscream. “Stardealer” is an E-Hobby exclusive. Check out the images of both figures after the break.

Oh, I have to check that. Maybe I can give Optimus then his 2 faction symbols.

Got my Starscream and first thing I noticed were how solid the shoulders were compared to Blitzwing. Now they really click in position. Deco is superb. Well done Takara!
Alpha Omega Trion Supreme
My Starscream came with a comic book with similar Decepticon faction stickers inside. This was separate from the figure packaging though.

using the generations blitzwing mold is not a good idea those arms suck

Thanks! He's pretty neat. The Repro labels for lights and a couple of Autobot badges and he's good to go:
Also, for those who bought these Cloud releases, did they come with these faction stickers? My Brawn didnt….
Alpha Omega Trion Supreme
I was futzing around with my android and auto-uploading photos through google plus when I stumbled on an automatic motion feature that google will add to photos that it sees are similar.
Anyway, main reason I'm posting this is that I think I found a better bot mode for the shelf. The tank turret isn't obvious anymore, and the nose-cone evokes a bit of a G1 flavor even if its not as level as I'd like. Plus it helps put a Decepticon insignia into view.

Nice work on making Brawn look pretty cool to me for once.
LegendAntihero
I agree. People should respect Brawn

This is like the Seekers Trio, blitz at skywarp, double dealer at TC and SS just wow. I also like brawn better but too much money,

Lots of hate for Brawn, but I love this guy. Added the Bulkhead Reprolabels.

what a wasted opportunity on brawn….if they had used a darker grey he would have been awesome with that dark green….I hate that light grey color that takara/hasbro uses to "infer it's silver" ….ugh.
I might get this guy….so far aside from "shockwave" it's the only one interesting to me anyway….
Alpha Omega Trion Supreme
Mine arrived today from BBTS. I love the deco on this. I had a lot of trouble standing him, and then found out that neither of the feet ball joints were properly seated. Easy enough fixed. Go to jet mode, no problem. Go to tank mode, and I'm having a heck of a time centering and pegging the left tank tread. Then I figure out what's wrong…….I have two right front tank treads. (look at the pic, and see how the wheel is in the wrong spot)
Sigh. Going to have to contact BBTS and go through that whole shebang.

The faces/heads look awful and that's not any Brawn I'd want. SS is an interesting take but the mould is going to have all the drawbacks of the original (shoulders, rubber Nosecone) and and the ridiculous price.
Plus dat face. Ugh.
Roddy will be my one overpriced dip into this circus. And even then that's going to need some Renderform magic to make it passable.

A pinhead on a bruiser body is a classic archtype
Chaos Prime
I'm torn about this Brawn. The Bulkhead body looks great, but that head is just too small.
This wasn't the way it was supposed to be man….it wasn't supposed to be this way!!
Robogeek28
I think I'm about to cave on this guy….

Ok I can see why Hasbro/Takara chose to make Brawn from Bulkhead I mean their vehicle modes are almost identical but it's in robot mode where that idea just falls flat.
First of all the retooled Brawn head is absolutely tiny on that big body of Bulkhead's and second aside from a bit of orange, the green deco (while not 100% identical) is just way too close to Bulkheads for my liking.
That being said I love the gallery especially with that chase sequence between Brawn and Starscream, I love that fire/explosions I wouldn't mind getting some of those, they really add so much personality to those pics.
