Cyclonus is taller in the fiction too. He's meant to be tall and imposing.

It's best to assume every link I post is NSFW, and every post I make is just me taking the piss.

Yeah it is weird about the box art... it's also the wrong way around (or the position of the toys in the box is wrong...)
The protector armour is actually a good reason to buy this! Oh no... now I HAVE to buy it!
How awesome does the Protector armour look!?
Damn thats cool...
If the set came with the armour... Why don't Hasbro do this? It's surely not THAT expensive to do what FansProject are doing? Or just license the thing from them already!
Anyone know if any of the third party companies have done this before? Tried to make thier products officially licensed by Hasbro? Just curious...

Where did you pre-order?
I am thinking this will not be released in the US, as Cyclonus' gun is chrome and Hasbro tends not to do that.

But even those 3 Cybertron scouts in 1 box seemed a bit rich for a dollar store, so this set likely won't end up there. Still, in 1999 I found Machine Wars Optimus Prime in a 'SAV-A-LOT FOOD' for $10.00, so stranger things have happened. The Universe label is basically a license for legit TFs to turn up ANYWHERE, even the realm of KOs, so everyone keep your eyes peeled!
I'll go on record as saying I actually like Hot Rod's stab at a 'toon look, but a more Henkei-esque Cyclonus is reason enough to hunt this down! The real H-Cyc has gotten even pricier than SG Cyclonus or Credit-Card Strafe!
(Off topic, but to see Henkei Strafe get animated, search for "Transformers Chile" on Youtube to see him help Megatron attack Op's shipment of TF tennis shoes - seriously!)

They still had some Energon gestallt leaders in deluxe universe packaging and the same 4-packs of insect-bots and double-combiner aircraft that Big Lots carries alongside them; all gone now, but this was just a couple months ago. They still have those Laser Cycle and Cyberjet KOs in RM Victory Saber packaging though.

Off topic, I saw the Cybertron scouts but they were £30 for the set. A bit too expensive for the set in my opinion. I found an Alternator's Jaguar Ravage (beast mode) for £5 at retail, about two years after the toys were officially off the shelves. That was a happy day

I pre-ordered from robotkingdom.com, but you can also pre-order at BBTS and TFSource

The reason why I say this is because when the Superion and Bruticus 5-packs were released at Target, I never found the Bruticus. I did see a couple of Superions, but I already had the complete Energon version. Shame on you, Target. Shame on you......

It's been stated a lot of times that it will have an American release. Again, please be either Wal-Mart or Toys "R" Us.......

if it is, the store it would be exclusive to has yet to put thier "only at" sticker on it. so odds are if it is coming to the US, its a warehouse (Sam's Club, Costco, Bjs) exclusive

People keep saying that, but I've never seen anyone "in the know" actually stake their rep on it, always using the word rumour or something similar when referring to a US release.
Now that I see that they're using the old Universe-style packaging, I'm not so sure anymore...

The last "International" multipacks I can recall were the Classics Op & Magnus along with the Jetfire & Grimlock, but they had no deco changes.
If would seem an awful lot of trouble to repaint these figures if they don't.

The protector armour will be pointless once Takara reveals MP Rodimus.

Why, will the Masterpiece trailer be compatible with Classics Rodimus? Will it fit in, size wise, with the rest of the Classics/Universe/Generations toys?

1 ) Toon color Cyclonus
2 ) The canopy to my Rodimus is no longer attached thanks to a botched attempt at the mod that lets said canopy open. It will hang on in static or forward-leaning poses, or in car mode, but the hinge is noticeably partially melted and any really dynamic pose it won't stay on for anything.
