Transformers Generations Selects G1 Toy Deco Cyclonus Revealed

Posted by william-james88 Apr 26, 2022 at 9:36am CDT 55,444 views
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...

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.

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.

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:

Interesting mashup of Cyclonii.

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

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.

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?)

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

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.

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.

I skipped out on Kingdom Cyclonus, just because I didn't really like the pale appearance. Yes it was 'cartoon accurate', but that doesn't necessarily equate to being better. This Selects version looks 'better', I'll admit. So I may put in an order.

This one is Blowpipe's mold with a not-yet-used-before deco, Artfire's Nightstick was Firedrive's mold with a different deco because there's too many Nightsticks in G1. They are different.

There's nothing to suggest Selects is ending, I'm just trying to correct the 2 articles that have now gone up saying "Cyclonus is the last 2022 Selects".

Don't most of us already have "And His Armada" what with the Original G1, Combiner Wars, and Kingdom? This would be the 4th. As it is, we only need 2 Cyclonus' TOTAL. "And His Armada" consisted of just ONE. This, along with Cyclonus himself if I'm not mistaken equals a combine total of TWO. 1 + 1 = 2, Right? Do we need to have 4 Cyclonus'?

I don't think Hasbro counts the previous ones, even if some of us do.

For me, this will rep the comics version of Cyclonus along with SS86 Sweep as my comics Scourge. For me, his Armada is the Universe deluxe Cyclonus.

Fair enough, but I think we can all agree Hasbro has definitely made their money's worth on these little guys

No argument there, and I wish they would release more with more vibrant decos. Where are the reds, greens and yellows?
