    I'd be more interested if I didn't already have a pretty nice CHUG Cyclonus.

    However, if HAS made a Scourge for limbs, I might bite.

    It doesn't look too bad. I'm not sure whether to buy it or just settle with Universe Cyclonus, but this new Voyager is definitely a well-done repaint.

    Not bad. They could've modded the arms a little so he wouldn't have to partsform with those little wings. But I like the combined mode.

    This thing is a lot better looking than I originally thought. At first I was a pass on it, I mean I won't actively hunt for it, but I'd buy it if it comes to my local Walmart. The Galvatron torso is really well done. Cyclonus plane mode is cool aside from the under kibble. I'd say from looking at it, the Cyclonus bot mode is the weakest mode. That said, I'd buy this thing and buy random arms and legs for it, like the pictures in the link show. It's better looking than Silverbolt, at least to me. I have the Universe 2.0 and Reveal the Shield Cyclonus, so I don't need one, but the play value on this thing is a selling point.

    AWESOME! My Breakdown and Air Raid just came in the mail, so it's great to have confirmation on the "official" Galvatronus configuration!

    It's looking good for sure but....yeah, I don't need him. I'm still extremely satisfied with the Classics Cyclonus. I don't have any need or reason to double dip on this character.

    A LOT of people would. It's a great idea that they should do.

    Which means it probably won't happen.

    "Cyclonus uses mind control to..."

    There's only one possible reason I can think of why Cyclonus suddenly has gained psychic abilities that allow him to mind control anybody he wishes.

    Frankly, that just means I prefer my Universe 2.0 Targetmaster (both the original and the RtS repaint) as it just feels more like Cyclonus in appearance and in bio, since with that deluxe the bio simply implies that Cyclonus was built out of a bunch of guys instead of just one of two particular dudes.

    That said, this is a pretty spiffy looking toy and would be on the want list if I didn't have him twice over in deluxe form already.

    I love my Classics Cyclonus, but will get this guy because he has an awesome jet mode, and because Galvatron is in there. I'm a massive fan of the 86 guys so I can't pass on this. Though, I'd rather have a proper G1 Galvatron update.

    This looks far more tempting than I expected. If we get a deluxe Scourge/Sweep, I will probably go for Galvatronus.

    The Galvatronus head looks a bit like Coronation Starscream to me.

    That and the rounded cockpit style detailing on the chest also make me think Seeker.

    I'd like to see Galvatronus in the IDW comics. Galvatron should die but somehow possess Cyclonus and they would have a Bruce Banner / Hulk style relationship with each other. Galvatron's and Cyclonus' minds fighting for control of one body.

    I used to think Galvatronus was a dumb name when I first heard it. It sounds like something the fans would come up with as a nickname. But thinking about it further, we've had Megatronus so Galvatronus isn't too bad I suppose.

    I'd like to see Botcon repaint Cyclonus into Ferak. His combined form would remain Galvatronus but in Galvatron's 1986 color scheme.

    Can't wait to replace my Reveal the Shield Cyclonus with this one.

    Despite being fine already with me RTS Cyclonus this does look nice enough. It's an impressive retool and repaint with the arm blades being used as small weapons. If it's repainted into a different character later on I'll consider it.

    I lost my RTS Cyclonus a few years ago, so he'll be a welcome addition to my collection. His Galvatronus mode looks fantastic. SERIOUSLY hoping for the Scourge-limb idea to come true.
