- Cloudcover is a Decepticon Seeker from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Cloudcover is a toxic... crusader, if you will, working under the leadership of Toxitron.[1]
Fiction
Legacy marketing material
Toxitron and his radioactive warriors Jazz, Grimlock, and Cloudcover rose from the Toxic Sludge Swamps to unleash mayhem on Cybertron. Toxitron marketing material[1]
Toys
Generation 2
- ??? (Decepticon Jet,
1996?)- Accessories: Presumably 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, 2 fists (left & right), 2 wings (left & right), 2 tail fins, front landing gear, sound effects box
- A hand-painted mock-up of the original Ramjet in "cloud camo" deco was known to exist for years. Whether it was ever meant to be taken into production and whether it was meant to be Ramjet or a new character remains unknown. It was originally offered for sale in October of 2000 from Whiz Bang Collectibles, along with other items seemingly from a former Hasbro employee's collection.[2]
- Possibly, "cloud camo Ramjet" would have been paired for release alongside "jungle camo Starscream", paralleling Ramjet and Starscream as well as the also-scrapped Sandstorm and Blackout.
 Proceed on your way to oblivion. |
Legacy
- G2 Universe Cloudcover (Voyager Class, 2023)
- Accessories: 2 rifles
- Legacy Evolution "G2 Universe Cloudcover" is a redeco of Earthrise Ramjet paired with Dirge's headsculpt, itself a retooling of Earthrise Starscream. Cloudcover transforms into a modified F-15 fighter jet with cranked-arrow delta wings based on the F-16XL prototype. As one of the Coneheads, Cloudcover features a new headsculpt based on the original Conehead design, though it is a faux piece not formed from the actual nosecone.
- The tooling is now cast in a checkerboard blue color scheme based on the unreleased Generation 2 figure above.
- Cloudcover was only available as part of the Toxitron Collection subline, which was exclusive to Walmart in the United States. He was one of three toys officially revealed and put up for pre-order on Walmart.com and Hasbro Pulse on March 13 in 2023 as part of Walmart's "Collector Con", and they shipped out to stores and online order-ers in mid-July.
