    Not really. You can flip his legs down, but then he just looks like a person stuck on top of the jet. I'm trying to find a way to attach him here (he's just sitting there now):

    I could probably do it fairly easily, but since this is an actual stamped test shot and not just an early retail version of the figure, I don't want to do any actual cutting/modding on this one.

    Thanks for the link!

    It would be nice if things work out like Hasbro intends and this is one of the rare few instances where the final product is better than the official in-package pics.

    Although, not intending to be an ass but it'll probably come out that way, it would have been a little nicer if you could have provided the link to the original Q&A session instead of another site's re-posting of it. Just that little thing of preferring to see the actual source.

    BTW, should've said it before but...

    Thanks for the review, Peaugh. Great collection of shots you took here, especially Cyc with Screamer and Galvatron as well as the "Artfire" shot.

    Now I wonder if Artfire will be the re-deco for Inferno, since the mold doesn't make a very good Grapple, and all it would take would be what you showed plus a recolor on the mold.

    Yo Peaugh, thanks for the great review man!
    Could you take a few pics of him posed with the rest of the Classics/Henkei Decepticons?
    I loved the pic of Hound with his fellow Autobots.

    Forgive me if this was answered already, but do Nightstick's legs move independantly or are they joined together?

    They're tight enough that moving one will move the other, but they're fully capable of moving independently if you wish.

    thats a really nice and inspired transformation, the 2 mode fit with nightstick makes it feel like the designer really sat and thought about this toy for a while. Hoping for a stronger repaint somewhere down the line but otherwise a great TF toy.

    Can Cyclonus hold G1 Nightstick or any other G1 targetmasters?

    Wow, placing Nightstick in the back looks way cooler! Too bad there's no permanent peg you can stick it on back there. If you ever find a way Peagh please post it!

    Awesome, I just added one of my Titanium Scourges to my Classics/Universe shelf today, I've been planning on doing something similar to this pic once I get Cyclonus.

    Since this got bumped up anyway, I'll go ahead and ask.

    Can the head be easily removed from Cyclonus? I have ...an interest. :D
