TF Kingdom - Voyager Class - WFC-K9 Cyclonus:

Released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie, War for Cybertron: Kingdom Cyclonus is a 7-inch-tall mold and unprecedentedly accurate to his appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon. His reveal press release describes him as having been reformatted from "Bombshell/Skywarp/Both/Neither". Mechanical details are sculpted into the seams of his shoulder swivels, visible when his arms hinge at the side. He comes with an extremely cartoon-accurate Oxidating Laser that can be plugged into the top of his jet mode, similarly to his Universe toy. His jet mode can also deploy landing gear at the nosecone and thruster areas.

Cyclonus comes with a Golden Disk card that "reveals a possible destiny of a key character", with each character having three possible destiny variants.

His stock photos are mistransformed, with the hands not hidden away in vehicle mode, and the wings only half folded into shape behind the shoulders in robot mode. Additionally, the image of his vehicle mode on the back of his packaging shows his Oxidating Laser plugged into a port that doesn't exist.

If one folds either of Cyclonus' hands into his forearms to reveal the 5mm-compatible thrusters for his vehicle mode, it is possible to attach weapons with a backward-facing 5mm peg onto the wrist-nozzle in a way similar to his Universe figure. However, his Oxidating Laser lacks the backward-facing peg that would allow the weapon to point forward while pegged in.

Man, and to think I wasn't actually all that fussed about getting this one at first. Probably because I'm not a HUGE fan of G1 Cyclonus - or perhaps because the face seemed a little off putting at first, with the face looking a little bit tall, both eyes looking a little bit too close together, and the square chin judding forward a little. But, having this figure in hand at last, I'd say it's safe to say that I take that all back. Good height, fun transformation, nice amount of articulation, fancy looking paint job, and an all around wonderful representation of his original G1 cartoon model. Plus, at least this actually has Light-piping in the head, which is very rare in a Transformers figure these days. Totally worth it in the end, I'll say (especially considering I actually got this £5 cheaper than the usual £25).

The Golden Disk card included with this WFC-K9 Cyclonus figure of mine is Dinobot (again). And, behind the sticker is "Dinobot leads united factions" (again).
