We didn't review Kingdom Voyager Cyclonus - because we knew THIS was coming! The Selects set of Cyclonus and Nightstick on Hasbro Pulse! Whether you think he was made out of Bombshell, or Skywarp, Cyclonus was indeed part of the Transformers 86 movie! He never said a word, but he had an armada, and now he's got an updated figure with stickers and everything!

Join Death in a full review of both Cyclonus and his Nightstick Micromaster - the modes, the decals, and everything in between!

Just wanted to take the opportunity to respond here instead of on YT.

Anywho.... Nice review as always. Many fans have reported the same issue you had with the left arm in robot mode (basically swinging loose because the ratchets are broken or not present). Which is unfortunate.

I just wanted the Nightstick Battlemaster, and after many months of searching, I finally was able to procure one on eBay.

As for the claim that Cyclonus has no dialogue in TF:TM.... I still stand by the my own observation that the line "You want me to Gut Ultra Magnus?" was Cyclonus (Not Scourge).

1. If you listen closely, it is clearly Roger C. Carmel delivering the line (the credited voice of Cyclonus in TF:TM and most of Season 3 *He also voiced Motormaster which has a very similar tone). as opposed to Stan Jones (Scourge).

2. I know many people make the claim that in that scene Scourge raises his Head/Cockpit and they can see lip movement. I watched this seen numerous times, at different speeds and frame-by-frame (even one of the fan commentators in the TF:TM 20th anniversary DVD makes this claim), I still say it is conjecture at best and has no evidence.

It may seem silly that Galvatron was talking to Cyclonus while riding around inside him, but it makes a LOT more sense in the context of that particular scene. It's what I've always thought even when I was a kid seeing this for the first time, and I've seen nothing to convince me otherwise.
