You had to burst the bubble

How about a Firedrive with new arms, legs and gun piece that may or not have been designed but never used?

Probably Blowpipe. Or Caliburst,

Hopefully the Original Nightstick from the Universe release, and they do some retooling so the TM can mount Japanese style.

*looks at Selects Artfire's Nightstick, then at Siege Skywarp's Fracas*

Yet another Firedrive redeco it is.

LOL, true.

Look at what Amazon Australia accidentally put up a day early: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09H1LDTJ7 ... BKMG1XQZVQ
Blowpipe it is.

Wow, that looks awesome! It even comes with foil decals if you aren't a fan of the toy aesthetic.

I like the purple and color layout. Might pick him up, but as is, he seems pretty nice

You know, with this figure, I could very easily see them also trying to make a Toy Colors Scourge to go with both this figure and the Selects Toy Colors Galvatron to complete the trio.

They already did, the box just said Sweep instead of that.

Nah, I mean with the same kind of toy sticker details that Galvatron and this Cyclonus have.

I would like that, or I could flip it to Scourges being the Sweeps and a Sweep being Scourge since I have multiples of both.

Looks like Amazon Australia jumped the gun on a new toy meant to be revealed on this Transformers Tuesday (maybe). We have our first images of Transformers Generations Selects Cyclonus and Nightstick. This is the final known Selects toy of 2022 and the name in the initial rumour was Cyclonus Armada referring to the line in the movie where you see more than one Cyclonus being formatted. This acts as the G1 toy deco version of the Cyclonus released in the Kingdom line. The targetmaster is a redeco of Blowpipe.

This toy will probably be open for preorders soon. With the 2022 Selects toys now all revealed, there are still most of the 2022 Amazon, Target, Walgreens and Walmart Exclusives that have yet to be revealed.

Ooooo, I suppose this could compliment the more "toy colour inspired" SS Sweep, but I really love how toy-accurate this deco is. Might be a good reason to buy another Cyclonus, he does need his Armada after all...

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 8:51 am

Yep. This is the superior Cyclonus. I'll take the deep purple over the light lavender every time.

But what's with that symbol? They couldn't measure out the one on his chest properly or something? Not that I'll apply any stickers.

by **figureguy** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 8:59 am

Since we normally know a few releases in advance does this mean the Selects line could be done? Figures in Legacy like Sandstorm and Buzzsaw are the types of characters that would have been perfect for Selects releases. We know there are going to be another 5 Shattered Glass but nothing about these. I have loved and bought all the releases so far but I hope it's not cancelled.

News Credits: 55 · by **o.supreme** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 9:06 am

I felt the same way. For ER especially we knew several figures in advance, especially when they revealed 8 or so in late summer 2020. I don't think the line is ending ( I hope not). I just think the amount of releases known in advance will be fewer. Seems to be that way across the board. With SS, the current wave seems to get released, and then leaks for the next come out.

I hope Selects continues, there is a LOT of holes in many of our collections that probably won't be completed otherwise.

The stickers for the lower legs are absolutely stupid. They're interferring with the landing gears! :HEADHURTS:

News Credits: 5 · by **Overcracker** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 9:44 am

Interesting mashup of Cyclonii.

The went with the 1986 non-target master general paint scheme, but gave him the 1987 Targetmaster.

1986

1987 Target Master

Hope I can find him somewhere for not too much over MSRP. Love the colors, and was hoping for a Toy colors version since the original was revealed.

News Credits: 22 · by **Rodimus Prime** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 10:00 am

I like how this looks over the SS86 Kingdom version as well, the colors just pop more. But I get why that one was colored that light shade. I'll be picking this one up for sure, I see no negatives. Better color, good transformation, and Nightstick. (So what happens now with Artfire's Nightstick?)

News Credits: 2 · by **Hero Alpha** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 10:59 am

Oh damn, that toy-deco Cyclonus is too sweet looking. I didnt think I would be interested at all in a repaint of him, but this hits me right in the feels. Nothing but happy nostalgia feelings of childhood. :HASBRO:

got me again lol. Although Im not sure if I want all of those stickers. Also whats up with the small

decal over the larger tampograph, strange. That particular blast effect is one of the coolest ones, and Ive never seen/had it in purple, nice.

Now I'm confused which g1 cyclonus I have hahah

Looks great just not £42 great, shame there isn't a toy colored RED Galvatron to go with him as I really dislike the Kingdom mold. If/when he drops like Artfire did I'm buying him.

News Credits: 48 · by **Nemesis Primal** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 11:24 am

He's up on Pulse now.

This isn't supposed to be the last Selects though, there's still Diaclone Blue Trailbreaker coming as far as we know.

Hasbro has now officially revealed Transformers Generations Selects Cyclonus and Nightstick. This is the final known Selects toy of 2022 and the name in the initial rumour was Cyclonus Armada referring to the line in the movie where you see more than one Cyclonus being formatted. This acts as the G1 toy deco version of the Cyclonus released in the Kingdom line. The targetmaster, Nightstick, is a redeco of Blowpipe.

This toy is now available for preorder almost everywhere since it is not an exclusive. The price is pretty good too. It is right now $38.99 on Pulse (link below) which means they are pricing the targetmaster at $5, so even cheaper than the original price point when this mold came out in the Siege line. Plus we have a look at the sticker sheet, meaning that these stickers are totally optional.

What's this about Selects ending? I haven't seen anything said by Hasbro about that?

I picked up some Joes and Cyclonus.

News Credits: 55 · by **o.supreme** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 11:26 am

Oof....$39 on Pulse, I'm going to pass for now, unless it shows up in store at GameStop like Artfire, for presumably a lower price.

I have every BattleMaster so far. I know the name Nightstick has been used, also all the humanoid decos start to all look the same. Is this one truly unique?

Somebody a few posts above was fearing the end of Selects simply because of there having not been any new leaks about any more forthcoming Selects as of late.
