2 Things about Armada Cyclonus

Unicron · Post by **Unicron** » Tue Aug 13, 2002 4:36 am

I just got Armada Cyclonus today and noticed 2 odd things.

1. His Tail fin thing comes off incredibly easily. Its not glued in place or held in place by any screws.

2. Turn Cyclonus over and look at the underside of the cockpit. Notice the gear and two protruding plastic-strip like things. The gear serves no appearant purpose and the strip-like things have little ledges on them, almost like they are used to hold something in place.

This leads me to believe that other toys, possibly from later waves, are intended to be atttached to Cyclonus for some reason.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Well, we know that the Autobot shuttle (Jetfire?) is supposed to merge with Armada Prime... so it wouldn't exactly surprise...

my Cyclonus's tailfin is very firmliy attached.

The gear on the bottem helps move Crumplezone's cannon whrn the 2 are combined. as for the protruding plastic peices, could be there to keep the gear off the ground in the event of a mis-transformation, or to keep stuff out of it's way if such occurs?

maybeit is to attach another toy at a later date.. If someone would have asked this a couple of weeks ago, I could've asked the Hasbro reps!

I think it's because some minicons are going to attach to the underside of cyclonous that aren't released yet.

I didn't mean the tailfin falls off or anything, its just on mine if you pull on it enough (doesn't take too much effort), it pops off.

As for the gear, take a closer llook. Unless its just there to suppport the gear that causes Crumplezone's turret to move, it serves no other purrpose. And if it was just there for support, why would the area be open?

ya know what drives me nutz about cyclonus? His legs don't lock into place. I have Starscream and Cyclonus from armada and starscream is great. If you look at his legs, there is a little clip that holds them in place in vehicle mode, cyclonus however they move when you handle him. And the other thing I don't really like, his feet should fold up. When yiou set him, he tilts at this odd angle due to the fact that his legs bend and his feet tilt him back. Other than that, Its a really great toy. just my 2 cents.

I just got Cyclonus today, and I love his toy. The best part is that his robot mode has a beer belly. I bet he has a tolerance to energon.

you can pull it off and put it on his left are, I guess Kinda like a sheild or somthing like that, it won't lock onto his right arm, they are different....just thought I'd tell all the cyclonus fans that don't know......

The exposed gear is for the mini-con destruction team, they also have esposed gears, and when attaching them to the underside of Cyclonus belly, Making the rotors turn will make the minicon do someting too, its kind of cool
