    I almost agree, but I think the challenge at cybertron Cyclonus is the best because it is the same as the BIS one (I think) except without the crappy rub sign (really makes a fig look tacky imo) compared to the CAC with a nice printed decepticon symbol.

    Objectively speaking, the one thing I like about BiS Cyclonus' colours over Universe Cyclonus' is the lack of the mismatching grays, which is my main criticism of Univ. Cyclonus. Also Nightstick features more colours which makes him look nice. Other than that I think BiS Cyclonus looks rather dull. BiS Cyclonus is great for people who like G1 cartoon colours whereas Universe Cyclonus' darker colours are still more G1 toy accurate and more similar to the way he was coloured in the G1 comics too.

    I don't have a preference for cartoon colours (I prefer G1 toy-accurate colours), so BiS Cyclonus doesn't appeal to me all that much. But I can see the appeal for fans of show-likeness.

    The other problem with Universe is the brown. G1 had no brown.

    For some reason the brown doesn't bother me. I'll admit that BiS Cyclonus does look really nice, but I'm satisfied enough with Univ. Cyclonus that I'm not prepared to go buy it.

    I know it is likely that I am in the minority, but I really dig Hotrod's BiS pack colours. I like the cartoony aesthetic they went for, with the light blue windows, finally a good use for allspark blue!

    It's easily my preferred scheme, even better than Henkei Rodimus which was superior to classics.

    And the lilac and velvet purple Cyclonus is the icing on the cake for me, as I never nabbed the original classics release.

    Can't really say I like Rodimus, but Cyclonus is awesome, he's not as lightly coloured as Henkei, but at the same time is free from the horrible grey plastic and unpainted face that make Universe Cyclonus look like a KO.

    I really don't like the solid-coloured windows on Rodimus because it totally covers up all the interior details of the car mode (driver's seat, passenger seat, steering wheel, dash etc.).

    For those who may not have Classics Rodimus, here are some pics:

    In Melbourne this weekend and saw the two pack for $25 AUD which is a good price for AUS.
    (Big W melbourne at least 10 there)

    After buying this set - Cyclonus is great, Rodimus arm feel off immediately after purchasing him
    Still $25 is same price as HK $195 - about time AUS sold things for the same price!

    I think you will find that this is a discount super cheap price.

    Toyworld had the BIS pack for $49 and I am sure Target will revert back to $49 if they havent done so.

    I honestly feel that it is still cheaper to buy online overseas provided you dont go over the $1,000 limit.

    Target are definitely back up to $49.
