Well just looking at it, looks like the legs telescope out, the wings fold back and that whole section on both sides become the arms, and the nosecone flips over the back behind this back.

Looks close to the g1 version to me. :)

In package pic of cyclonus.

Yuck, gummy grey. Seems like they were the final colours

looks fairly alright and would match up with Galvatron
now we need is Scourge... :P

This figure is looking like a definite 'Henkei only' buy thanks due to Hasbro both creating false expectations and severe cost cutting.

Reminds me of Universe Depth Charge with the paint apps. :(

Otherwise looks decent, and a nice larger deluxe figure for a change.

Universe Cylconus has gone from my most awaited figure to my most repulsed! God, the paint apps look like they're going for the 'yellowing plastic' effect..... Either that or they've got a huge vat of old coffee that they randomly dipped the figures into! I wish TakaraTomy would put my mind at ease and reveal the Henkei colours sometime soon! Just to clarify, i was *not* expecting the toy to look like the first released photoshops, but i was hoping it would resemble it somewhat!

What they have done with Cyclonous is utterly disgraceful. Even I thought that the earlier loose toy pics were nothing more than a prototype and that Hasbro would not release a figure with such appallingly bad paint finish.

This is very wrong now and I see no conceivable way that this sort of cost cutting can be excused. What was an Excellent mold has been turned into a crap release thanks to Hasbro's utter lack of pride in their products.

It looks like a freaking KO!!!

IMO...

Cyclonus = not too bad :)

Nightstick = All I can think of is that he's a gun & guns are sometimes grey? *shrugs*

hey, at least the package art looks nice... :D
