And does anyone else find it funny that Cyclonus' description describes him as being reformatted from Bombshell/Skywarp? It seems they just can't make up their minds...
Yep, basically the design team saying, "Hey, we had no part in making the movie, don't ask us."
Uh-oh, looks like this may turn into a Frenzy / Rumble type debate

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

I know most fans wont mind (some even mix & match older Generations toys & Newer ones), but if I personally were trying to assemble the cast of TF:TM, across all these different lines would be quite frustrating at the lack of consistency in overall appearance.
I don't get that impression at all, and I don't have any concerns about consistency. Springer is the biggest outlier due to battle damage, but it doesn't bother me at all.
And really, this isn't specific to the animated movie cast, either. My seasons 1 and 2 cast is split between Prime Wars and WfC, but aside from a couple of odd Headmasters, I don't think there's anything that challenges them being displayed together. I would go a step further and say I'm much happier with the consistency in the last two trilogies than in, say, Classics and Universe, or the generic Generations and T30 stuff.

Cyclonus looks somewhat unflattering, But I think that's just the angle.
The other two.. Ha. They already had reviews, And they weren't even formally revealed!![]()
That Megatron though.. Words fail me. Just perfect!![]()

I have all the redecos of him too and I must ask ... how is this one inferior?
The articulation looks like it matches AND it has wrists. The vehicle mode is more cohesive. I suppose you could prefer the bot mode overall.

So I guess this settles, once and for all, who Cyclonus really is. He's an amalgam of Skywarp AND Bombshell. Cool.
I do like that they know of the controversy there and didn't want to give a concrete answer, so they just go "everyone's right!". Cyclonus will always be Skywarp to me.

Overcracker wrote:I always thought the "Armada" thing as just a joke, referring the fact there's only one other visible guy when Cyclonus is created and Unicron boasts "...and his armada!".
People just were making fun of that by calling the single guy there "His Armada".

Indeed. When Unicron refers to "his armada" there are two of them onscreen. Later in the show ..more:
