Universe/Classics 2.0 Cyclonus w/ Nightstick

Picked him up a few days ago. He's a perfect example of what Classics should be.

Jet mode is flimsy, but his robot mode gives off so much nostalgia it's bonerific.

I don't know if I should buy him or wait til the Animated Cyclonus toy is announced.

Buy him NOW!!!

Universe Cyclonus is awesome. Jet mode isn't that bad as you might think from reading all the criticism here. If you align his parts properly when transforming him to alt mode, he can be pretty sturdy.

After months of searching, finally snagged this guy at retail (sadly $7.77 is long since gone, I paid almost twice that to get him, *sigh*). I was kinda worried this would end up being like the Concept Camaro Bumblebee from the first movie line, all the hype behind the figure, months to find him, only to find people praising something very average. Thankfully this was not the case, and Universe Cyclonus really is as amazing as everyone makes him out to be. Maybe not my favorite Universe figure I have, maybe not my favorite deluxe I own, but really damned close.

Cyclonus is rad. My only beef with him is that I wished the legs held together a little better in his alt mode, but it is just a nit pick really. I think I like the darker colour scheme of the Hasbro version then the Henkei.

Opened this guy yesterday. WOW.

Alt mode: 8/10 - a nice looking cybertronian/space jet with a slight tendency to bits getting misaligned. Still nice and evil/powerful looking and clearly Cyclonus in jet mode.

Transformation: 10/10 - the split leg halves, the way the almost entire nose of the jet vanishes into his chest, the wings flip this way and that and yet it is never complicated and doesn't fall apart. Just awesome.

Robot mode: 10/10 - may be one of the most perfect bot modes in any line - easily rivaling TFA Prowl. Awesome posability, tons of character, wicked light-piping eyes... just about perfect.

Bonus: The Targetmaster is just GRAVY. And it looks like a bot in bot mode and looks like a weapon in weapon mode. Nightstick has more posability than some of the G1 Targetmaster bots themselves, forget the weapon guys.

Overall: 9.5/10 - one of the best in the Classicsverse line, and one of the best TFs I've ever owned, period.

I just got mine the other day. It is so awesome! The pics on the packaging don't do it justice.

hopefully TFSOURCE will get henkei cyclonus in soon and then cyclonus and his armada of 2 universe cyclonus will be completed...

Just picked this guy up. The only thing that I wasn't digging was his unpainted face! I added some silver and am totally satisfied now. Super easy to do.

Now that I have Cyclonus, one of two things are going to happen:

He's going to become Animated Cyclonus or just painted to look cooler than what he is now. The mould is okay, actually quite nice with his little friend and all, I like the shade of purple, but every other colour besides thet is just not comfortable working with the rest.
