Title:
Storm Cloud 2nd Strike Patrol Jet Mode Micromaster
Description:
Strike Patrol (Micromaster Patrol, 1988)
Storm Cloud transforms into a lavender and black Dassault Rafale fighter jet. He was only available as part of a four-pack with his teammates Nightflight, Tailwind and Whisper. Storm Cloud is gang-molded with Whisper, sharing plastic colors.
Together with the Off Road Patrol and the Race Car Patrol, the Air Strike Patrol was released by Hasbro in late 1988 (basically, a case of ”next year product” being released at the end of the old year), in packaging that differed from the ”proper” 1989 Micromasters’ redesigned packaging (silver cards and boxes featuring an all-new ”Transformers” logo) by retaining a variation of the faction-specific color-coded gradient background on the card and featuring a unique ”Micro Transformers” title in a variation of the old, pre-1989 ”Transformers” logo. This same basic packaging design was also used for Canada (albeit bilingual English/French) and parts of Europe (bilingual French/Dutch, and Italian-only packaging distributed by GiG). However, a variant of sorts featuring the later 1989 packaging design also exists, and was released (in English-only packaging) in the United Kingdom, where it was sold at Woolworth’s stores.
This toy was sold without changes in Japan as the Autobot Star Cloud. This sculpt was also redecoed to make Skyhopper.
