tamo536:
Got him today and really like the color scheme on him.Very similar to skywarps colors.
He is a repaint of the ultra class powerglide
REVIEW

PROS
The colors and paint apps are very nice on him(should have been released in this mould first)

CONS
no improvements to the mould
sounds are the same
AND yes the heart is there
(it's black though)
OVERALL
these colors work alot better than the powerglide colors.I recommend getting him over the powerglide version.And he looks like skywarp
PICS

BOT MODE






ALT MODE








COMPARISONS TO POWERGLIDE AND OTHER ULTRAS


Shark Jumper:

G1Wheeljack:

Shark Jumper:
Wow his heart is cold and black as he is.

Now some kingdom Hearts junkie will paint a heartless logo on it.
Powersa:
Nice photos. Not sure which one to get, Powerglide or this.
Dinobot Nuva:
Really really want this, clunkiness look about him aside, he looks really nice, the colors show a lot more detail than the cream-gray on Powerglide.
DN
Rodr-Evil:
\m/ black heart!!!
DestronGenerals:
i'm kind of convinced to buy this because unlike blades or springer, who i feel that if we're lucky we could get new molds of, these are repaints of the NEW molds as micros...
Dolza_Khyron:
hey how doe the powerglide/stormcloud's missiles look, swapped? because i think the black missile would look better with this guy, and the gray one would fit better with the powerglide, just wondering if the gray missile fits the gray on powerglide :3
Robogeek28:
Sadly that bot mode really sucks so he'll be an easy pass for me.
col:
It looks like he has a beak.
General Magnus:
Sold on the blackheart alone

now that I'd like to see
eriku:
I like these colors better, but those yellow parts are naaaaaaaasty. The yellow face plate alone kills the whole thing for me.
Uncrazimatic:
yeah i might get this and repaint that yellowish green nasty to something else.. i dunno if i want regular powerglide anymore.

I'm thinking if the face plate's Radioactive Vomit color is just painted on it'll be easy to strip the paint and paint over it with silver.

The face and knees are just painted.

I plan on redoing them shortly(i was thinking black or purple)
Draven:
MM-89? Sweet. I love the way Hasbro are doing stuff like that now.
Wingspanky:
I think I will wait for this release. It look loads better

Yeah, me too.

Also, MM-89 probably stands for "Micromaster 1989".

I believe that they said as much at Botcon this year.
Octavius Prime:
Dude looks nice, better than Powerglide. I love how he's decked out in the "official" decepticon colors, and the deep translucent blue looks good too. I'd like to get him, maybe more than I want Silverbolt.
Acteon:
Though it's an improvement, it's still an ugly mold imo.

Srsly. This is what I've thought since the day we saw his proto images.

...Of course, I hate the Powerglide mold with a fierceness unending, so I will NOT be picking up EITHER color.

For how Powerglide SHOULD look (IE, not tall, dumpy, and well-endowed) see Jizaitoys.
Otispq:
Since I love the alt mode so much, I'll pick him up and own them both!
dark69:
i realy like him i will get him over PG

Oh? I must've missed that.
Incepticon:
Wowza, that is one seriously ugly repaint. Between this and that Treadbolt thing, Powerglide's new white color scheme is suddenly looking gorgeous by comparison.

I'm a little nervous to see what they'll repaint Onslaught & Silverbolt into... because we all know there *will* be repaints of them eventually.

G2?

Show me one person who wouldn't buy a yellow Onslaught and a baby blue Silverbolt.

......


I'd buy it.

Spider Striker:
Stormcloud's not a femme? Could've sworn she was. That's really disappointing to me for some reason.

Still, looks good. Must get.

*raises hand*

I know I'm in the minority here, but I always thought the G2 repaints & color choices were beyond epically awful, and it never surprised me that TF essentially bottomed out as soon as that line showed up on store shelves in all its neon glory. I *am* surprised, however, that there are evidentially people who not only liked it but who also want to see these kind of homage repaints being done with present day figures.

Either way, it seems unlikely they'd repaint Onslaught or anyone else into a G2 version of the same character. Seems that with the Universe line, all repaints are destined to be new characters.
Shark Jumper:
Don't worry we'll get Action Master Thundercracker colors on something soon enough.

Oddly enough I thought the Stormcloud repaint kinda looked like an evil police airplane...

Well I for one am not only not going to be buying the Ultra line cause its too much money but will not buy any new repaints for the same reason.
bhaalistik:
I guess I'm in the minority here, cuz I prefer Powerglide 100000% over this repaint. Like someone else mentioned, that awful green/yellow detail is just AWWWFUL. If it were done in almost ANY other color it would have been a win.
lars573:
I was going to buy this guy as soon as I heard about it. This only makes that resolve stronger!

i for one would not mind a desert camo redo or the urban camo paint scheme like in the universe/armada reissues they did a couple of years ago....

I loved those two remolds of bruticus and would not mind getting two onslaught's in those colors....

Anyone who isn't blind can see the difference. (Why has everything gone dark all of a sudden? )

flywheels:
I'll still probably pick this up once he sees mass release.
Drive-By:
I am sold on the black heart AND the Decepticon Aerospace symbols on the wings.
Dark Magnus:
Silverbolt would have made a better homage to stormcloud than powerglide. Still, I'm passing on this one anyways.
superquad7:
Thank you, tamo, for posting a image and text-based review. I was more than happy to read over it and gain insight from the front page, as opposed to the video toy reviews fped that bump half of the other news bits down the page significantly.
openchallenge:
i gave up trying to think of a robot chicken reference for this thing.
Shane Anderson:
That's an interesting homage. I would have thought however, given the original Micromaster Stormcloud's alt mode as a sort of triangular jet type aircraft, that Silverbolt might have been a better repaint choice. Still, it's an impressively obscure character to resurrect, so kudos to whoever was doing the research.

Pics of the original from tfu.info Storm Cloud (1989) - Decepticon Espionage - www.tfu.info

I don't know if I'll buy him or not... I don't usually buy $25 figures at all, and having broken that rule and already bought Powerglide, I'm not sure a repaint tempts me. But we'll see.
