Generations Selects Legacy Voyager Cyclonus and Nightstick

While getting the Voyager class WFC Kingdom Cyclonus was pricing at $50 aftermarket, this version of Cyclonus (Generations Select) is ranging just under the Voyager class price of around $30. Not only does he come with his standard blaster, but he also comes with his target master plus 2 blast effects! That is a definite deal! The only downsides would be if you wanted Cyclonus in his toon accurate colors - that would be the WFC version. This version is actually the TOY accurate version. Furthermore, the plastic does feel a bit more hollow or flimsier, so people have reported that this version tends to have looser joints than the WFC version. Even so, some others have reported that the WFC version also had loose joints, which I suppose is common with this mold. And even though most people prefer the toon accurate version to the toy accurate one, this dark purple color looks very cool (and with some scenes from the '86 film, it has him in darker purple). And if you thought the "light piping" was good on the WFC version, this one stands out even more when it contrasts to the dark purple. Also, it comes with stickers to further tie it to the G1 toy; the figure looks great on its own that you don't have to apply the stickers, which is what I did. This mold is fantastic for the price that you get. It's clean all around. The height of this Voyager class figure even reaches the height of some of its Leader class brethren. In many ways, even with the skinny, slightly off proportion, it is still one of the best representations of the character in figure form. It is like a mini masterpiece. For this version, the fact that you get extra accessories while the price of the figure hasn't changed, except for the fact that the price actually came down, is a great deal! Right now, just in terms of the figures, the Ferak figure best carries the aesthetics of this mold IMO, which I also have. But this Cyclonus figure is still fantastic.

I was hesitant to buy this figure as I wasn't familiar with the Legacy United models. Some lines aren't colored well, have bad joints (here's looking at you Bumblebee line). Neither is an issue with this figure. Color is so nice I won't even apply the stickers. Joints are great for dynamic poses that hold. And, unlike many other bots, nearly everything in this figure is transformable to creat the alt mode which also looks fantastic. If you're thinking about it, just buy it.

Have original G1 version. This more cartoon accurate version is amazing. Great color scheme, jet mode looks great, and having a target master as well is great addition. Don't have the Kingdom version to compare, but have read it's the same with updated paint. One critique is that one of the legs is pretty tough to get into place for jet mode. Other than that, great version of Cyclonus.

So I missed out on getting the Kingdom Cyclonus, and got this guy instead. Kind of glad I went with this one. The colors aren't show accurate since it's supposed to mimic the original toy, but I think they look better that way. Even though the eyes are painted over the light piping still works really well. Also any figure that has a battle master and blast effects is always a plus. Definitely a solid set.

I really like the design of this figure but man some of his joints are loose. But still a must for your collection.

This transformer is just awesome, and I absolutely love cyclonus. Plus the colors are fire! The only thing is there are stickers you have to put on yourself

Better than expected. I was looking for the studio series version, but this one will do. We also like the included mini con (we know it’s not). Highly poseable and easily transformable, it is a nice addition to the collection.

Very well constructed and a fine addition to my growing collection.
