"I only land when and where I want to."
Cloudburst, half of a two man team known as the Air Commandos back in 1991. For most of us the Air Commandos were released after we had gotten out of collecting G.I. Joe. Cloudburst was never in the ARAH comics, but was featured in the DIC G.I. Joe cartoons. For the 2016 JoeCon set Cloudburst works on Sky Patrols new gear. Cloudburst consist of: Head: new sculpt Torso: Duke v33 Arms: Storm Shadow v32 Hands: Storm Shadow v47 Upper legs: Snake Eyes v64 Knees, Lower Legs, & Feet: Recondo v7 I think the Club did a good job on the parts used. He looks very much like his ARAH version. Accessories are to a minimum due to the glider being the main accessory/vehicle. Cloudburst's rifle is from Snake Eyes v64, sub machine gun from Baroness v14. The vest/harness seems to be a new sculpt, as I do not recognize it and couldn't find it on YO Joe.com. The glider used is from 2002 Barrel Roll's Air Assault Glider. Once again the Club did their job on matching the original gliders digital camo. This is one figure I'd recommend for most Joe collector. It's another Joe we can check off the list of ARAH made for the Moderrn Era Collection. Only drawback that heard around at JoeCon was the smirk the new head sculpt has. I actually like it gives him character and shows that he loves what he does. My only problem is that the head sculpt is painted, instead of being molded in flesh color. It takes away from the details of the sculpt. Otherwise I am pretty happy with Cloudburst.

I could see an episode where Law and Order have to identify a serial killer within the Joe ranks. That last photo in the OP is going to give me the night terrors.

I finally found a ARAH CloudBurst about 9 yrs ago. Love him, and the updated ME is cool as well. I wonder if the club plans on using the head again.

If his pupils were more aligned he would be perfect.

This is one of the very few Joes from California, and happens to be from San Diego. For that reason, I had him as soon as I found him on the shelf. Happy to get an updated version true to form.

I like him, but yeah the face is a bit off putting. Kind of reminds me of Disney's new BFG.
Side note. I actually love the yellow and white. Looking at the pictures while standing in line, I wasn't to keen on them, but in person I really like them. Glad I got him.
