With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride

Emerging from Cybertron's Toxic Sludge Swamps, Cloudcover unleashes a storm of toxic destruction! Along with the rest of Toxitron's team of radioactive warriors, Cloudcover is a toxic... crusader, if you will.

Generation 2

Checkerboard nightmare.

• ???? (Decepticon Jet, 199?)

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.

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.

Your bargaining posture is highly dubious. Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Legacy

Nobody cares about Sunstorm, apparently.

• 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, which was exclusive to Walmart in the United States.
