    Now c'mon... Enough of this. Where's our sharks? Are they still releasing this month?

    Also, what do people have against Universe Cyclonus? I thought he was a great toy...

    I wish it had more of the MTMTE samurai vibe, but still great to have a voyager option regardless.

    Good toy... too small, bad colors on the Hasbro release.

    for the time hastak cyclonus was one of the superior molds.

    but compare that to somethings out now and he has some issues

    the arm articulation is a bit frustrating with him, though he was pretty tall for a deluxe.


    interested to see how this turns out though, most seem pretty happy with their recent citizen stack release

    I despise it personally. I hate the legs, I hate the articulation, I hate the way the nose cone looks, and I hate that his shoulders pop off everytime I transform him.

    Looks promising. I quite like the Classics Cyclonus mold even if it hasn't aged all that gracefully (better than Rodimus, at least). If KFC can deliver a bigger and better mold, then I may pick it up simply because I'm a fan of IDW Cyclonus. Still, the only KFC product I own is (the FrenzyRumble custom painted) Mugen Scope and I don't dare transform him due to how delicate his parts and joints are. Supposedly, KFC's QC has tightened up with the release of Citizen Stack (and a change of factory and plastics) but I'll need to see in-hand reviews first (and pictures of this next to Mania King).

    Targetmaster's name is Thug. It's a voyager figure. Not sure if that "Chug" posted is also a Targetmaster

    At least that was what I got from Scaleface.

    Okay, correction, Thug is not the Targetmaster. The line is called "Chug & Thug", which is why this is CT-01, which will contain one CHUG Transformer and one Thug partner.

    KFC is an automatic pass. Also you can see the back of the head in vehicle mode plus the back pack. Total easy pass.

    They must have used what Fakebusker89 named some of his designs.. Thugger/Thug Meister - Small bot, being that the Target Master is a smaller bot.

    Just a speculation.
