The featured bots in this video is 1987's Generation 1 Autobot Clones, Cloud Raker and Fastlane. Now the clones appearing on the toy shelves in 1987 made it just in time to appear in Season 4 of the original Transformers television show, but very, very briefly. They're in there long enough to both transform into their alt modes and tell Optimus Prime, Roger Dodger, Optimus Prime. Not Roger Roger, Roger Dodger. Fastlane, Cloud Raker. I want you to search the planet until you find the key. Roger Dodger, Optimus Prime. Roger Dodger, Optimus Prime. The Autobot Clones also appeared animated in their television commercial along with the Double Spy Punch, Counter Punch and the Decepticon Clones, Pounce and Wingspan. Unfortunately, the clones did not appear at all in the Generation 1 Marvel comic series. So I do believe they appeared prominently in the Headmaster series from Japan. So without further ado, let's take a look at these pretty unique Generation 1 Transformers. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Now the whole gimmick behind the Transformers clones is the fact you have two identical looking robots that transform into two completely different vehicles. One an air-based vehicle and one a land-based vehicle. Now the Autobot Clones pull off the identical robot look okay except for the big spoiler on the back of Fastlane's head. Now of course you can remove that and place it to the side and these guys look more identical unless you turn them around and then you can tell the big difference there. But you do risk losing this spoiler piece and this piece is fairly expensive online. I think the cheapest I've seen is around 20 bucks. So I usually keep mine plugged into the back of Fastlane. Now we'll go ahead and take a look at Cloudraker First. The robot modes as I said are identical so they have the same features. We'll take a look at the head sculpt. Head sculpt looks alright. My biggest complaint is I wish the face was a different color than the helmet to make it stand out a little bit more. Love the blue visor that really pops. Articulation the arms can do a complete 360 and that's about it. Though with Cloudraker you can bring the legs in and out but that's mainly due to transformation. He's got really nice stickers. Those are toy hacks replacements. Now originally these rub symbols are supposed to work. He has a rub symbol down here that shows if he's an Autobot or Decepticon. And the rub symbol up here which shows which vehicle mode he turns into. But unfortunately oh wait a minute. Wait a minute it is working. See the jet which shows that he is a jet. I had no idea that still worked. I covered this one up because the Autobot symbol just wouldn't work for me anymore. But that's really cool. Surprise surprise. So anyway as you can see the jet Cloudraker transforms into a jet. So let's go ahead and get him transformed. First thing you want to do is remove the weapons. They are in there tight. Once the weapons are removed you're going to fold the fists in. Just like so. And turn the arms up. Now you're going to bring the legs out. And push the head in revealing a nose cone. Now bring the arms up. Like so folding in on the chest. You're going to flip the nose cone out. Take the legs. Bring all the way around. Take the feet. Fold down and underneath the back of the legs are wings that you bring out. Just kind of line those up straight. And now you're going to take the weapons the guns which are really cool. You peg them in upside down. And they actually have molded in landing gear on the bottom. So those will peg in right here. So there's one. And there's the other. So now we have Cloudraker in jet mode. And it's a jet. It's Cybertronian I guess. I love how the weapons are utilized as landing gear as well. That's really really cool. Sticker details on the nose cone look great. Along with the paint job there for the canopy. Lots of gaps in the back. But I mean it is what it is. It's a pretty cool jet. I love how the nose cone is hidden within the body. I mean you cannot tell this figure is a jet whatsoever. And it really doesn't have any robot bits really hanging off. I mean yeah those are arms and legs. But you can't really tell in this jet mode like some jet transformer. So anyway there is Cloudraker in jet mode. Now we'll take a look at Fastlane. Fastlane to transform him. What you're going to do is pull the head up. He elongates his neck right here. What you're going to use after getting ahead of myself. Remove the weapons. Just like Cloudraker you're going to fold the fists in. Bring the arms up. Once again just like Cloudraker this will reveal the wheels. Now you're going to take the head and spin it around. Bring it out and spin it around. You've got to spin the spoilers so the Autobot symbol is facing down. That way it will fit over the arms. So now you have the back of the vehicle. Now you're going to take the feet. Fold those down and then just collapse the legs. There we go. Mine is a little tight. Now you're going to take the weapons and they peg in right here on the side. So there you have Fastlane in his Cybertronian Dragster mode. And this one, this one's a little disappointed. I mean it rolls really good. Man are you using your imagination with this? I love the big wheels on the back. They look really cool. The front wheel is just one single wheel right there. But it works. I mean like I said it rolls really, really good. But it just doesn't look good at all. But hey I guess it's Cybertronian. That's how you get away with these things. So anyway guys there we have Fastlane and Cloudraker. And now for some quick size comparisons. Here is 1987's Generation 1 Autobot Clones, Cloudraker and Fastlane with Generation 1 Optimus Prime, their Decepticon counterparts, Pounce and Wingspan, and Titan's Return, Cloudraker. 1987's Generation 1 Autobot Clones are pretty cool toys. I like the robot modes. They look really good as clones aside from Fastlane's spoiler hanging off the back of his head. But as I said earlier, you can take that off for display purposes. Just be careful not to lose it. The alt modes however leave a lot to the imagination. But hey it's Generation 1. So there you go guys 1987's Generation 1 Autobot Clones, Cloudraker and Fastlane. So does a Generation 1 Cloudraker and Fastlane belong in your collection? Well if you're a Generation 1 collector, absolutely. These are fantastic toys and they really have a very unique gimmick. I actually prefer the Decepticon clones over these two but still if you have one set you have to have the other. Now they're not really that expensive on the secondary market but you do want to make sure you get them 100% complete because piecing these two together can be costly. Especially that little spoiler there on the back. And guys I want to thank you for stopping by and checking out my video.
