New Galleries: Combiner Wars Cyclonus and Galvatronus

Posted by Va'al May 13, 2015 at 2:23pm CDT 37,937 views
Our latest Seibertron.com figure gallery features an unexpected repurposing of a previous wave figure: feast your eyes below on Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Voyager Cyclonus! The figure is a fairly significant remold of the Silverbolt toy, featuring a new head, torso, paint job, wings - and an entirely new combiner head, ready to form an almost Decepticon leader - Galvatronus, nemesis to fan-built Victorion and possessor of mind-bending powers. Check all three modes out in the images below, and click on any of them for the full gallery.

I don't care what anyone says. I love this Cyclonus, and I need one ASAP.

I can't help but wonder how TakaraTomy will repurpose this figure... No doubt they'll use the Galvatron II persona, but what of poor Cyclonus?

Take a cue from the Club and use Ferak?

Since Galvatron II uses the toy's pale deco, they could make Ferak the same pale color.

Nope. Don't like it. The only good thing is the jet mode, and only the top of it.

Just wanted to point out that I used a silver sharpie to color his "ears" silver like past Cyclonus figures. Looks much better in my opinion. Here's hoping Takara gives Cyclonus this extra paint app as well.

No doubt any TakaraTomy release of this figure will be an exclusive redeco like Grand Scourge.

Victorion? LOL...........

LAME.

I am actually glad because I need a break from Hasbro sucking my wallet clean with the first three real combiners. Just two to go, Bruticus and Devastator, and they can put this line in the can for all I care. If I thought we would get Computron or Predaking, then I would be interested. But, instead we get two LAME combiners. Once of which was created for political purposes rather than to make the fans happy. And they claim the fans "created" it. The sad thing is some of you believe it.....

That's not Victorion this is Galvatronus.



Computron's components are kinda dead in the comics except for Scattorshot and Strafe so I think their waiting plus Rook looks to be a nosecone remold and Hasbro probably does not want to confuse kids with the Predacons right now since it hasn't been too long since Beast Hunters ended.




What is sad though is you actually believing that the voting was rigged that and insulting the rest of us.




Seriously all your posts seem to be about complaining or call bullcrap on something.

Victorion will be Galvatronus' rival.

Yes I know that was the case.

This looks great, can't wait to pick him up. Plus he can get his Targetmaster from my smaller Cyclonus ;)

Not naturally, though. Tailgate's just shoved in there.

Sort of ... I never thought to try the Legends Class figures in the chest on Silverbolt. There isn't a peg for them to attach to, but the chest panels on Silverbolt/Cyclonus hold the figures in pretty darn well. It stayed in position when I posed "Galvatronus" without any problems at all. In my twisted reality for "G1" Cyclonus, who I'm considering a separate incarnation from the honorable and watchful "Lost Light" Cyclonus, he enslave Tailgate as armor through his mind control abilities. Sorry Tailgate ... you have no friend with G1 Cyclonus.

There is an episode of G1 where Cyclonus' face is drawn in a very similar style to the Combiner Wars Cyclonus. I thought it was a brief scene in Starscream's Ghost, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone else think of where his face was drawn like this? It certainly takes reference to some scene with Cyclonus where his face was drawn differently than normal. No, I'm not thinking of the "lips" version of Cyclonus either.

Another Seibertron.com gallery for the weekend, featuring some ambiguously placed Generations Legion figures of Ultra Magnus, Skywarp and Cliffjumper. Why ambiguous? Not only do these go almost hand in hand with the galleries we posted yesterday of Motorbreath and Thundercracker, they also sport the Generations Combiner Wars packaging and logo, though without the Combiner Wars banner.

At the same time, they are simple repaints, much like two figures in yesterday's galleries, of the Optimus Prime, Starscream and Bumblebee that were re-released with Age of Extinction. Just to make it clearer for everyone. In any case, click on any of the images below to view their full galleries (as Ultra Magnus' latest Leader update is just around the corner...)!

Looking forward to getting this and RiD's legion Magnus.

Who do they think they're fooling with that white-coloured Magnus artwork on that Legion class 'Magnus' figure?

Also never liked that Bumblebee mold. Cliffjumper's original 1984 toy still looks better in a few ways (the head and face design in particularly, and I dislike the arms on that newer one)

Skywarp's colour scheme always looks cool.

Va'al, great find! Would you tell us where you found these? Aren't they supposed to be sold at discount chains like Dollar General?
