This version of Cyclonus is a redeco of the above Kingdom toy in a "Generation 1" toy-inspired color scheme, complete with an optional sticker sheet in a similar fashion to Selects Galvatron.
The Nightstick that comes with Artfire can actually be given to Scourge and be used as Fracas. In G1, Nightstick and Fracas were not released in Japan with their owners, Instead, Nightstick was renamed Nebulon and given to Ricochet while Fracas was renamed Nightstick and given to Artfire. For those who did not get the Siege Skywarp Fracas, give the Nightstick from Artfire to Scourge since according to G1 lore, that's basically Fracas.
Good review as always, my selects cyclones has a loose left arm! Hasbro really need too sort out their qc issues! Few people that I know have the same problem, but he's a good figure neverless!
You know that when one can detect even a single gram of disparity between these two figures ~ just by holding ~ there is a seasoned cook in the house! Fantastic review as always, Chef Bro! PS. I have the G1 Targetmaster Cyclonus (sans Targetmaster) and he is a very awesome toy (with significant tooling from the original & due to that is able to work with all modern Targetmasters with 5mm handles)! Unsure if I would be picking this very handsome one up still (even though my Kingdom version too has yellowed rather quickly) since I have 5 of the earlier Classic ones [3 x Universe 2.0 (one of which is Reprolabelled even), plus the boxed set one with Hotrod version & the original Henkei], on top of the Combiner Wars' Voyager version. Kingdom Cyclonus already has his 'Armada', in a manner of speaking! This would just be the 'cherry' on top of a cyclo-cake! 😉
hahahahaha yeah, i was pretty good with spatial logic and proportions... that's probably why i was great in the kitchen LOL thanks so much my friend :-) oh man i wish i had that G1 toy!!! perhaps wait for this one to go on clearance then... wow awesome collection bro!!!!
Haven't dabbled with the B sides versions but this is tempting, he looks great. I've seen a few issues with a loose shoulder but I'm used to tightening up modern Hasbro's joint QC. Stickers are cool for the g1 likeness, just wish he could display the decepticon logos on his wings without compromising his robot mode.
I'm annoyed that l can't swap the arms of Cyclonus' Nightstick with those of the Nightstick that comes with Artfire...G1 toy and cartoon Nightstick had black arms.
I ordered this guy. If they dont make his Armada, this guy can be his stand-in. EDIT: he just came in the mail. His shoulders are WAY loose. Scary. How come some Hasbro mold reuses don't have degradation and some don't? Consistency Hasbro.
I had sold this one last year since I figured, I liked the kingdom version better... but my kingdom cyclones was starting to yellow so I decided to sell it off and just picked this version again on clearance...
