He does have a hole in his right hand, clearly visible here:

Additionally, Nightstick can also peg into his thruster, if you rotate the fist back in as if in Jet mode.

peaugh, who has reviewed him, shows how Nightstick pegs into the thruster.

IIRC, Peaugh posted on TFW that the connector on the thruster is present on both sides, so Cyclonus can use Nightstick left-handed. Well, left-armed, seeing as his hand won't be involved.

Oh, and how does Universe Cyclonus "sux"?

I own a JT Cyclonus. And while it's interesting it's far from perfect. It's a snap together model kit for starters. You have to be pretty decent at models to put it together so it doesn't look half assed.

It's also incredibly flimsy. Same with Wheelie. Don't get me wrong, I fully support all that Jazai Toyz puts out and when I can get my hands on Powerglide and Octane I will. But in direct comparison the official product is way better.

Plus I fiddled around with the new Cyclonus about a week ago and it's just awesome.

EDIT: New picture of Cyclonus with a much better paint job.

I'm starting to wonder if this is a test shot figure?

I gotta say - this mould is awesome. I just hope the final product gets a good paint job.

Nightstick is looking excellent now, but I don't see much improvement with Cyclonus besides the nosecone is now painted.

If Cyclonus ends up looking similar to the original official pics, he will definitely be in my top 3 favourites from the classics/universe line. Maybe even number one.

Down_Shift, that pretty much compares with what I'd always heard. If I had the money, I'd probably buy them, but I just can't justify it on my budget. Especially as I like to play with my toys.

I wonder if robots1 will deign to explain why Universe Cyclonus "sux"? I do get annoyed with people who offer that sort of lame comment without any explanation.

I agree. Saying he "sux" and describing him as...what was it? "Hot garbage"? Anyway, saying these things doesn't actually explain anything about why you feel that way.
