FUNCTION: SABOTEUR
FIRST APPEARANCE: THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE # 1
"Compassion is the Autobots' downfall."
Profile: Cyclonus is a huge and emotionless air-warrior metamorphosized from parts of dead Decepticons and remnants by Unicron. Like Galvatron, he derives vast resources of power and energy through Unicron and so can draw on strength in direct proportion to its need - always being able to become stronger than his opponents because of his access to the infinite reservoir of power that Unicron represents. A dedicated destructor, Cyclonus transforms into a gigantic multi-engine (and perhaps multi-wing) jet fighter. His firepower remains intact and is augmented by an incendiary bomb rack. Cyclonus is capable of an additional transformation, trimming his wings and tail back to assume a space-worthy rocket mode for interstellar pursuit and warfare. He has no personality, no interests other than conquests for the sake of Unicron, and no weakness.
Abilities: In jet fighter mode, Cyclonus is equipped with nuclear-powered turbine engines which enable him to reach speeds greater than Mach 2. In robot mode, he carries an oxidating laser that fuses an enemy robot's internal mechanisms.

** Got Cyclonus in December 2015 from another local seller I found off of eBay along with Octane. Got him complete with the bot, his Oxidating Laser and his tech spec. There is a bit of sticker wear, but he is pretty nice otherwise.
Cyclonus fits in the situation that all movie Transformers do... They are cool, but at the same time I am not overly excited about them. I liked the movie, but there were many things about it I either did not like or did not fully embrace. the movie bots for one I felt were the first where Hasbro and Takara really started going away from realistic alt modes, which I am a huge fan of from the beginning Diaclone Transformers. If these guys were real, I would still definitely notice them if I saw them in the real world... Also, I was not a fan of Hasbro killing so many of the original characters to replace them with these guys... I admit most of my movie character pick ups for my collection are more to complete the collection than because I am that much of a fan of them... **
