Ok I was thrilled when I found Cyclonus this past Sunday morning and after taking him out, transforming him back and forth I had a thought..

Could this figure be the best most accurate TF ever created?

I mean he is exact as to what he is supposed to look like, his articulation is superb and his transformation is flawless (and he has his targetmaster!)..
In other words, he looks like he is supposed to look.
He is in my opinion a perfect transformers toy.

I have a new favorite TF and it is Cyclonus.
If only they could have done this with Galvatron.

This is of course my opinion.

I've really been looking forward to getting him...
Hope it happens soon, although seems stuff shows up late around here.
Nice to hear such a great review though!!

Yep, he's definitely one of the better Universe toys. I'm thinking about the Henkei one too. I normally don't do that either, but the mold is just so well done that it's hard to resist buying another.

He has a very unique leg transformation. He is also one of the rare figures where in either mode, you can not see the other mode at all.

I'd really like to see what they could do with a Headmaster.

I've heard others say similar.

Now I might have to buy him.

Chromedome for being the main character of Headmasters, Brainstorm for having a sexy alt mode and pretty much all of the Decepticon headmasters just for being awesome. Especially the Horrocons.

If they released all of them that would rule..

I wonder if they could re-do the pretenders and make them functional?

Bludgeon!!!

Look to the engineering on Samurai Prowl for that kind of thing. They definitely could do it...but I doubt that it even has a chance now with the movie on the horizon.

I'd agree, but there's definitely a priority list in my mind. Horri-bull's at the bottom of it.

i think classics hot rod and jetfire take some beating, i think both are brilliant. After that Armarda Unicron and fort max are pretty near spot on too

How about Scorponok? I keep holding onto hope that he'll get the Encore treatment, but a brand-new headmaster mold would be great too.

id happily have a classics universe basebot, being a headmaster would make it super sweet

Jetfire is up there with me as is Hot Rod.

My only gripe with Cyclonus is the gap in the rear section of the alt mode where the legs come together. Not a big deal really, but they already have the perfect piece to cover this up and they didn't find some way to use it, Nightstick. Rather than have him just plug into the top of the jet, which looks odd, why not have him connect further back and fill in the gap? Just a couple of small pegs molded onto Nightstick's arms and a couple of holes in Cyclonus' legs and it would work. I may try to do it myself since I now have two. The first one I bought had a shoulder that would not connect to his torso properly.
