Don't get me wrong, he's a superb toy, just get the lilac one if you don't want a figure that flops about like a boneless fish...

I guess I lucked out on mine, his shoulders are nice and snug, he can hold Nightstick stretched out or pointing all the way up in both hands.

And I also agree, this color us much better than the Kingdom version. This will be my comic Cyclonus rep, while the Kingdom figure will go on my movie shelf.

f I chose one I'd choose the selects, definitely a better color scheme. I always thought Cyclonus was more purple, while scourge was more blue (based on the seekers they were reformatted from), but obviously Studio Series 86 though otherwise. but there is always Sweep.

I got Sweep and Scourge, Sweep being my Scourge stand-in on my movie shelf along with Generations Scourge and TR Scourge as the "sweeps" and Scourge going on my comic shelf next to Selects Cyclonus.

So now what do I do with my CW Cyclonus?

Ebay sell it for tons of money. I think I'll get a 86 Sweep for my Scourge, and Generations Scourges for my Sweeps.

Put im on your IDW shelf.

I got my Cyclonus open and shot a review. It's going into editing, but I'll have it up tomorrow. I think I did okay on the looseness, but he's definitely not as tight as Kingdom Cyclonus.

I'm giving GS Cyclonus's Nightstick to CW Cyclonus as season four Cyclonus alongside the TR squad. GS Cyclonus is toy/Marvel, Kingdom is TF:TM / season three.

I really hope we get a magenta Hot Rod and a grey Blurr, though I don't think either are very likely. My planned Marvel UK shelf will have Galvatron, Scourge, Cyclonus, Springer, and Kup already, so I'm most of the way there.

We do have a Hot Rod coming in the Velocitron line and we know the design team wanted the SS86 figure to be magenta before higher ups ignored the whole point of SS and made them do toy colors instead so it's possible that the design team pitched the movie colors to Walmart.

I for one don't want a majenta hot rod, accurate or not, so Im happy they made the change

I personally would have preferred magenta hot rod. I think I am going to sell my Hot Rod anyways, Rodimus just ended up so much better and kinda ruined Hot Rod for me.

As for selects, i got my Cyclonus. He is really sharp, THIS is how he should have looked to begin with. My only wish for him would be an IDW head, but i will give him the sword I got for the retail one. Might sell my retail one now too, hate that thing.

How muxh you want for Hot Rod?

Anyway, he's the latest - including how I did on looseness-

Probably would ask what i paid for him, so $35.

I'll need to take a look at your review. I need to transform my Cyclonus still, should do that before bed tonight

I just gotta say, I really wish Selects Cyclonus would have been Kingdom Cyclonus, this paint job is infinitely better than the retail one, and I actually like this one, a lot. This works so well.

also, I wish it had an IDW head, it would work!

I just wish such an expensive item was not so bloomin' floppy!

I'm wondering.
Would there be any point in a "G1 toy accurate" Select voyager Scourge?

Or is SS86 Sweep already it?

I'd say Sweep was already it. But following Toy Galvatron and Cyclonus, they could include stickers and a Fracas Target Master ( if the Siege one wasn't already accurate as far as color scheme?)

I'm more curious about molds of the last 2-3 years that haven't been reused. I mean all the Diaclone decos are neat, but I really want a Masterforce colored Doubleclouder.

For me, Sweep is my movie-accurate Scourge and SS86 Scourge is on my comic-shelf (toy-accurate).

Interesting.
Regardless of what Sweep is, looks like I have to get one.

It's Scourge. The only difference is the shade of blue and his hands. Otherwise, same figure.

No I meant where sweep will go. On the "toy accurate" shelf or the "Movie accurate" shelf.
I'll also have to buy the Repro sets.

Selects will likely be targetmaster for the headmaster shelf (and probably reuse pointblanks targetmaster, because gotta be cheap on a £43+ figure).

Picked up deepcover, it would be rude not to with clampdown getting released evn if i'm not a fan of the mold and waiting for sale price on clampdown.

Movie accurate. Scourge's darker blue parts resemble the US comics version, even though he only appeared like 5 times. Same with Cyclonus. Kingdom is movie, Selects is comic/toy. The comics artists mainly used the toy decos. Except for f**king Perceptor.

I need my red and blue Selects version of SS86 Perceptor, Hasbro.

No Selects release for Scourge necessary, his Targetmaster Fracas was a separate release in the Siege Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron set with Skywarp, Spinister's Hairsplitter Shrute and Terror-Daxtyl. Though hunting that down will be even costlier than a new Selects release...

I do have the set. So who was that specific Targetmaster? Got a picture?

Fracas is the Firedrive one:



Just for funsies; Artfire Nightstick is the same mold like in G1, but for Generations their colors are switched:
