Renders up on tfw of bot mode (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/3rd-party-unlicensed-41/x-transbots-mx-iii-eligos-masterpiece-cyclonus-renders-182773/), looks pretty good, besides the blocks for legs. I've always though of Cyclonus as thin, as his G1 toy is very thin and due to his IDW proportions, which is probably why I wasnt a fan of the KFC? not-cyclonus. But this, the head, the colours, the alt mode, all lookin' good, I'm keen to pick up both this and their not-Scourge.

Then all we need is an MP scale Galvatron.

[CBratron]

I wonder if he will come with a Targetmaster as well..

If Apollyon is good I might consider getting this as I cannot see TT making a MP Cyclonus anytime soon and I need more MP Decepticons

[Akky82]

Sold! Looks great, the legs dont look as blocky to me anymore, loving it. Although like I said about the not-scourge render, it's shiny and I hope they dont go the KFC Transistor route with the paint. Cyclonus is maybe my favourite (non masterforce) decepticons (behind scourge) and the chug mould, and the other attempt at a 3P figure were a bit disappointing to me (well classics robot mode was sweet, but the jet left a lot to be desired imo).

^ This does not make sense to me =S

Has this happened in the cartoon or something??

In the '86 movie.

In the '86 movie.

really? man, i really need to watch that again to refresh my memory:p

[Hursticon]

Oh... Oh my! :eek:

This is looking VERY good indeed; with those 2x accessories, a great sculpt and Cyclonus being my 2nd favourite Decepticon... If the engineering holds up, I'll be extremely tempted by this. :)

[AJ_Prime]

dammit I wasn't gonna, but now I think I hafta...

Now, as a starting point, that's what I'm talkin' about!

[leej84]

so scale wise this galvatron is smaller than his target master??

[Trent]

You'd prefer the Galvatron figure was left out?

But that bring up an interesting question: can the Targetmaster sit in the cockpit????

[CBratron]

I doubt it. I suspect pilot Galvatron is half as tall as the targetmaster. The targetmaster itself is as tall as Cyclonus' torso.

Although I dont mind it, but for something that happened for a split second in the movie, i rather them spend the money elsewhere to make the cyclonus figure better, with less QC issues or better paint apps etc.

[Hursticon]

Far out...

Just show me some physical samples, I'm sold on the renders but physical tolerances and handling need to be top-tier for me to force myself to find room for this in my budget! :o:D

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

so scale wise this galvatron is smaller than his target master??On the bright side, it should look good with Trypticon.

I need this next to MP Magnus.

Even better and more accurate than their Megatron. Excited.

[Trent]

Wow that looks good.

[loophole]

Oh man, that is sexy!! I think that's a must have!!

[leej84]

pre-orders are up on tfi

[spiderken17]

He is pricey.

[leej84]

Robot Kingdom has him for 149.95usd but at $34usd shipping... After exchange rate tfi is cheaper

[Akky82]

Alt mode looks amazing to me, love the figure so far so much... but as for the price of this and Andras, compared to the maketoys cupola (at TFIdownunder anyway), has pushed me towards the latter line, at least barring some kind of windfall. I'm expecting a tax debt due to unplanned occurance, otherwise I'd probably bite and deal with it, but mortgage, planning for a kid, saving for new car, I think I can pass. But man I can still drool!

ohh nice and tale

[Arctorro]

He looks good, but no way I'll pre-order another XTB toy. Hopefully reviews will be positive.

This does indeed look utterly amazing, but I think I will also wait for reviews before committing money towards it - A lot of qualms I've seen over Apollyon once in-hand so I'd like to wait & see with this fella... :o

If and when Eligos has passed that test, he will very likely be added to the collection. :cool:
