Awesome! Did you end up getting mini-Cyclops?

Yep, everyone gets it. Luckily it is not a 'limited issue' figure as originally implied by fans.

Mini Cyclops is pretty cool, for a Legends size figure he has pretty sophisticated engineering, closer to a deluxe but there are some flaws that hold it back a bit.

Certainly a very nice bonus figure and totally unexpected. The weirdest thing about it is that according to the mini-comic included, this is the 'real' Cyclops and the big boat Cyclops is just a transtector similar to how Mega Pretenders worked in G1.

I was taking pics but ran out of batteries. I will buy some new batteries and take more pics tonight.

If I bring it to the fair, I am going to have to practice transforming him better. I still struggle a bit from robot to ship but it's easy to do it from ship to robot. It could take me a while to do it too.

He is really big and although not too fragile, I can see risk in carrying him around so I will need to decide if I should. He is very solid and more compact in ship mode which would be his optimal form of transport.

I just finished taking pics of Cyclops. Ended up with 38 pics! They may be too many to post but there is so much to this toy that I think they are all relevant.

I guess that I can put them all as a collage video and only post a few for my review.

The review will have to wait as I have an early day tomorrow, big day.

Choose the best & post 'em in the Photography thread dude!
If you decide to bring him to the Fair man that'd be sweet - I don't really want to handle him so much as just getting to see him in-person, so if you could demo Cyclops man that'd be cool.

Vangelus/Peaugh did not mention this in their reviews, but is there a way of combining or integrating mini Cyclops with the big guy in robot mode?

Also, if the mini Cyclops is the real Shockwave, then it looks like FP Bruticus can hold him in his hands Very cool!

Vangelus did mention it but he called it something weird which made it vague like a 'Powermaster'. Technically, mini Cyclops is not integral to the larger toy as it only 'stores' within the larger figure without having any real functional aspect (Unlike a Headmaster or Powermaster which is necessary and visible). However it is cool how the bottom of the ship opens up with three bay doors to allow the sub to 'dive down'.
