I don't suppose you have any G1 version of Nightstick or from Ricochet? I'd be amused to see Cyclonus dual-wielding his Targetmaster.  

 

Nice! Can't wait for the retail release!

 

Nightstick attaching to the arm is hands down pure win.

 

I see what you did there.

 

Love it.


Oh, are you thinking of eventually getting a second one, to re-deco as Shattered Glass Cyclonus - and since you showed Firebolt as a comparison, maybe have SG Nightstick be in Firebolt's colours?

 

TOTALLY AWESOME !!! Cyclonus... love it the transformation; wondering if Nightstick can be pegged on underneath of Cyclonus in vehicle mode ?

Also Hound is very nice... love the seats fold down as the thigh in robot mode... overall sweet Update from G1... and now Ravage can be a friend of Hound ?? Wonderful !!!  

 

Thanks for the response! That's good to hear, to. It wouldn't have made me not get him or anything, but it certainly makes him better.

 

Dang, Cyclonus was a transformer I was SO looking forward to, but now that I see the final colors I am really upset and disapointed. I'm going to wait for the Henkei version and hope they do the colors accurately to the show/TF:TM.

I don't like all that grey, and especially the different shades that clash. It's ugly and it's not even accurate.

Well, I'd like to see someone's kitbash repaint of this. I'm going to wait this one out for a while.

As for Ravage, I like, but he really needs his metal side rocket booster thingies. He's just too bare without them.

Hound at first glance looks kind of weird and too much animated style in his jeep mode, but he's alright in his robot mode. I just hope they fix that ugly clash of green shades for the final release. I also think they should go with the army shade of green all over like Alternators Hound is and like the G1 Hound toy is. If it's too bright of a shade it won't look right.

Thanks for the review and the photos, Peaugh.

 

Great fig and way better then the test shots. i cant wait to get him. his size is great. as in the G1 cartoon he always looked taller then glavy.

 

Wow, I spoiled the transformation for myself by looking at all the pics, but damn, that's really cool. I LIKE that transformation, though, that's really inventive to make parts fold in and extend and stuff.

How's nightstick's articulation? I saw he has elbows and separate legs.

 

Yesss.....It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.....

 

I haven't found any way of pegging Nightstick underneath in vehicle mode. I'll keep looking.

 

A fantastic review... I was on the fence with Cyclonus, but seeing the transformation has sold it for me! I'm even liking Nightstick!

 

Nice!

 

another must-buy! looks like this wave is gonna rock..thanks for the review

 

Dang it, looks like Nightstick lacks the articulation to ride Ravage like a horse.

 

Can't wait to get this toy!

 

Absolutely gorgeous!! 


I'm definately getting him, but really can't wait for the Henkei version if only so he has a painted face. 

 

Thanks for the great concise reviews!

 

Great mold, too bad about the paintjob. We're counting on you now Takara, don't let us down!
