The most show-accurate vehicle mode Cyclonus toy ever made.
Can't say the same for the robot mode, but that jet mode is gorgeous!

Not really feeling this one, and I'm a Cyclonus fan.

No, so far Cyclonus and Optimus Prime are "extra torsos", meaning they have no particular members uniquely assigned to them unlike Superion and Menasor.

Umm... The top of the jet, yes, but the bottom kibble is a tough sell. I know that all jets suffer from this but some are better at tucking in the bottom kibble than others. Silverbolt was always the biggest offender for me because the shape under the jet wasn't even in tune with the plane. Generations Jetfire has all the kibble there too but at least from the sides the legs work along the jet making the undercarriage add some volume to it and make it seem like it belongs there. But not with Silverbolt, tt was all boxy and angular under a standard plane. But it was an homage to G1 (aka an easy way out) which I can get behind (to help me sleep at night). But with this guy, not really. As far as updates to G1, I find the Universe one better. Now thats a toy that knows how to handle kibble.

Sexy!
I'm interested to see whether TT release these, seeing as everything has been gift-sets so far.

Someone needs to make a Classic Galvatron cannon to wield in his combined mode.

I actually really like this. I kind of expected to, as oddball stuff falls squarely in my court, but it's nice to have that feeling confirmed.

Additionally, Cyclonus's bio on the box says that he mind-controls other Transformers into combining with him, so he probably just hijacks whoever is around. Y'know, in whatever micro-continuity the bio takes place in.

Don't count on it. TakaraTomy seems to focus on the classic Combiners and the classic lineup only, with Superion, Menasor, and likely Guardian/Defensor, plus whatever classic teams appear next year.

Looking at the Galvatron face, I think maybe Cyclonus should have been an Overlord figure...

While the Universe Version has an outstanding robot mode, I was always disappointed by the jet mode. The jet mode in that version hid the kibble well, but in the process, it lost all of the sleek lines that the G! toy and cartoon had.
I almost want to buy this guy, chop off all the kibble showing for his robot mode and just keep him as a jet on my shelf.

I'm glad it's not just me, I'm getting the feeling it's not a coincidence
In fact swap out cyclonus for hot spot, change blades for his white alternative alpha bravo and I'd say you got a close as possible idw overlord.
Can't wait to see it done, I think it would surprise a few people. Hopefully someone on here will flex their photshop skill on it soon

actually dig the torso mod.
wonder what the 3rd party can do with this/who can this be?
Def could have made a more convincing overlord.

If he was done as overlord, I wonder how many people would be posting that they would have rather seen him as galvatron.

I'm thinking Cyclonus could look good using Offroad with Alpha Bravo decoed as Battletrap, and Skydive with Rook decoed as Flywheels.

Worse, if he was done as overlord, there would have been a myriad of complaints about being underwhelmed after waiting for soooooo long.
