Title:
Cyclonus Boxed
Description:
Cyclonus (Voyager Class, 2015)
3 of 5: Galvatronus
Accessories: Rifle, shield, 2 tailfins/daggers
Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro)
Released in the third wave of Generations Combiner Wars Voyagers, Cyclonus is a redeco and retool of Combiner Wars Silverbolt, transforming into a dark purple Cybertronian fighter craft surprisingly close to his original animation model, given existing mold constraints. He also gains two small tailfins, held in Cyclonus’ exposed hands in vehicle mode, which plug into the 5mm holes on Cyclonus’ forearms to mimic the original character model’s forearm fins. These tailfins can also be used as dagger weapons in robot mode. He also transforms into the torso of Galvatronus; any combination of limb-bots counts as "Galvatronus”, regardless of faction.
Cyclonus includes a silver version of Silverbolt’s rifle, which can be held in Cyclonus’s or Galvatronus’s hands, or mounted underneath Cyclonus’s nosecone in fighter craft mode (although it won’t insert fully, thanks to the placement of one of the nosecone’s screws). The winged rear section of the rifle can be detached and used by Cyclonus as a shield.
As seen on the photo at the right, the vehicle mode’s vertical fins are assembled incorrectly, with the control surface detailing facing forward. This can easily be fixed by popping them off their hinges and flipping them around.
The Silverbolt mold was also retooled into Combiner Wars Scattershot and BotCon 2016 General Sea Clamp.
