He also was the only one that couldn't decide whether or not to have a goatee or be clean-shaven In Marvel Comics Cyclonus made his first appearance in Transformers the movie the official comic adaptation But just like Transformers the movie he really didn't do much in the comic book in the regular series He appeared in headmasters number four as he was introduced as a target master But once again really didn't do anything He then made another appearance in Marvel Comics issue number 67 in an alternate timeline Where he Galvatron and Scourge had taken over the earth or the Decepticons had taken over the earth Cyclonus was being bested by chain claw Galvatron came to his rescue and since Galvatron thought Cyclonus was weak. He blew his head off then in Marvel UK Cyclonus was killed once again by a clone of Megatron by having his head ripped off and that started a time Flux that pretty much kicked off one of the best UK series ever the time wars and I'm still pissed at IDW For canceling their UK reprint So I'm not really sure why Marvel Comics hated Cyclonus so much that they were always killing him off But that's pretty much it for the history of Cyclonus in US Comic and cartoon history now. Let's take a look at the figure himself and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews 1986's generation one Cyclonus to this day has my favorite G1 Decepticon jet mode I absolutely love the looks of this jet. This thing just looks Bad ass. It's very streamlined Pretty well seamless for a G1 figure aside from the toes sticking out the back But you know you can pretend those are thrusters, but man this thing just looks Spectacular now my G1 here has brand new decals thanks to toy hacks because my original figure the decals were a little beat up He does have some great paint applications right there. He's got the orange cockpit that was Seen in Transformers the movie that Galvatron can actually ride inside of Cyclonus So you got a little bit of mass shifting going on there And that's pretty much it for the paint applications. Like I said, you got stickers Decepticon logo there on Each wing you got decals right there and decals there that really adds to the look of the figure The tip of the nose cone is rubber and he does have some die cast. There's die cast metal right there That little pin or lever and die cast right there on the wings This is the error where the die cast was slowly getting faded out of the transformer figures He's also got his rub symbol right there. Not sure if it still works or not Barely But you know, he's a Decepticon he wears it all over now Cyclonus also has landing gear and visible robot face syndrome right there Now the problem with Cyclonus is landing gear Let's see you got wheels here and here is the front landing gear only has one wheel there on the side So you got to get it positioned just right or it's going to flop over So sometimes it takes a little bit of manipulation to get it right But once you have it there it looks great and now for a quick vehicle comparison here is 1986's Cyclonus With the new Kingdom Cyclonus as you can tell they're very similar yet different where the Kingdom Cyclonus Tends to go more towards the animated look losing a lot of those sticker decals from the original Now let's get Cyclonus transformed into robot mode and the first thing we're going to do is fold back in The landing gear then you're going to take these little flaps right here on the back flip those open and Extend the legs Do that like so they're on a double hinge Bring them all the way out Then you're going to flip the feet up Make sure and get the knees locked in Now we're going to take the nose cone and simply just fold it back Along the jet revealing well not much revealing but yes revealing Cyclonus's horns Now we're going to take the wings And bring these back Let's see he's quite tight. So you're just going to fold these over like so and then with the arms Bring this section down and rotate around Just like so I gotta manipulate the forearm wing around the back wing There we go So make sure Cyclonus's Fist holes are facing out and there we have Cyclonus In robot mode, but I forgot one step. I always forget this you take the shoulders right here and just Slide them up And they'll lock into place And now we've got Cyclonus in robot mode And robot mode looks a lot different than the animated or comic appearance. It's very G1 the head Is really big the face is kind of sunken down here at the bottom Great face sculpt though. I do like the painted eyes Face looks really good the head. It just looks weird Moving on down the body. You got some nice sticker decals right there This black sections where the landing gear was He kind of has Popeye forearms in my opinion not a big fan of the forearms and fists Legs are decent. They kind of have that Rounded look from the movie more sticker decals right there And that's pretty much it now as far as articulation goes The head cannot move at all the arms Could do a complete 360, but you have to get the wings out of the way They kind of fold up against the back now the arms or the biceps do have a bicep bend And bicep rotation the legs can go forward And back they are on a ratchet which is really nice And he has a slight knee bend well kind of snaps apart there But a very slight knee bend thanks to transformation Now Cyclonus also comes with a weapon Right here that can be placed in either hand so it just goes Right there. There's that peg hole Match it up to the peg And there we go. Now we have Cyclonus All armed and ready for battle And now for some quick size comparisons here is 1986's generation one Cyclonus With his partner in crime generation one Scourge Classics Cyclonus Combiner Wars Cyclonus And his newest incarnation kingdom Cyclonus 1986's generation one Cyclonus is a must have for a generation one transformer collector This is an iconic figure and not that bad of a toy Robot mode leaves a little bit to be desired, but with Cyclonus. It's all about that vehicle mode So there you go guys transformers 1986 Cyclonus So does a generation one Cyclonus belong in your collection? Absolutely if you're a g1 collector, this is a must have for your collection This is one of the most popular characters After the movie on into season three and four. This is a great figure decent bought fantastic vehicle mode I can't brag enough about the vehicle mode. So yeah, you see this guy pick him up You are not going to be disappointed But keep in mind an original generation one Cyclonus with his weapon Is going to cost you a pretty penny Now if you're not hung up on getting official generation one toys There is a fantastic KO version out that my good friend Bert the stormtrooper has just reviewed So if you want to check that out click the link above and yes, we timed these reviews together So check that out compare to this and see which Cyclonus is best for you Now guys, if you enjoyed the video, don't forget to like don't forget to subscribe And don't forget to hit that bell icon to get notified when I upload new reviews And if you're in any position to help out the channel I offer channel memberships here on youtube and I also have a patreon page Once again guys, this is patreon signing out
