New Images of Henkei Cyclonus and Universe Countdown!

Though the Henkei is more G1 accurate, the Univere's dark purple is cooler for me.

This settles it for me; I'm buying them both. Each version of Cyclonus is different enough to warrant a purchase. Both look good in their own way. Kudos to Hasbro and Takara, both, on this one!

As for Countdown, they could paint this mold in caca-brown, and I'd still buy it (just like Vector Prime).

Side by side, the Universe version makes the Henkei release look absurd.

I love both those Cyclonuses. Like Universe and Henkei Ramjet, they look sufficiently different to pass as seperate characters.

Will definitely get them. With my G1 Cyclonus and oversized white KO, Cyclonus is going to have a platoon of his own.

Be nice if they repainted him in the yellow colour scheme from the Energon comics. Remember when Megatron transported Prime into the bowels of Unicron? There were these yellow 'Cyclonus' clones alongside Megatron's Energon body.

I thought I would like Henkei better myself, but since seeing the two side-by-side, I am inclined to agree with you. I think I will stick with the Hasbro version.

I thought I would pass Cyclonus, but the more i look at it the beeter it looks. Definetely agree that the Hasbro version is better than Henkei's, this time. As for Countdown, I loved this mold in Cybertron, it was one of my favorites, so I'll definetely get it.

Sometimes I feel like Cassandra in Greek mythology. I've thought the Henkei Cyclonus looked ridiculous since I first saw it. *shrug*

I'd probably buy both types of cyclonus,1 hasbro version as the main cyclonus,and 2 henkei cyclonus's to make his armada.
As for Countdown I'll buy it...but call it Percepter.

Do you think they'll change Universe Countdown's colours before he's released or do you think that is 'The Final Countdown'?

Do you think he'll be released in 'Europe'?

yeah I was unsure which one I would end up liking better...But this seals it...Universe takes the win...Hasbro finally made an intelligent descision...The henkei one looks like he's ready for church on Easter Sunday...
