It's been a while for new galleries here on Seibertron.com, but that's about to change. Thanks to our friends at Hasbro, we've got the entire first wave of the highly anticipated Transformers War for Cybertron KINGDOM series. We weren't sure who to focus on first, but after reading comments on the Seibertron.com forums and messages from the Seibertron.com staff, it seems like Voyager Class Cyclonus was highest in-demand. So on that note ...
Behold! Seibertron.com's first gallery from the Transformers War for Cybertron KINGDOM series is none other than Voyager Class Cyclonus. This toy is probably the best rendition of him yet ... especially if you are a fan of the cartoon look for Cyclonus. He's a good size Voyager, taller than his case mate Optimus Primal from the same class size in Kingdom and comparable in size (but bulkier?) than recent Voyagers from the past couple of years. At a minimum, he has a lot more going on with his transformation and has a lot of great points of articulation including wrist, ankle, wrist, waist and multiple neck joints! His space jet mode is incredible -- all of his robot kibble disappears which gives it a very "mini-Masterpiece" like feel.
Cyclonus is the Unicron creation of dead Decepticon parts from the Transformers animted film from 1986. Bombshell? Skywarp? Who knows and who cares! Cyclonus is Galvatron's very loyal 2nd-in-command. He is the Decepticon's Ultra Magnus. He's awesome, needs more toys, and especially needs a Masterpiece toy after all of these years.
Our Cyclonus gallery includes comparison pictures with the rest of Kingdom's Wave 1 products. In addition, we pulled out all of the stops to include other comparison shots we thought you'd like to see with other versions of Cyclonus (Cyclonuses? Cycloni?) as well as comparisons with Transformers Universe Galvatron, Generations Scourge and even Titans Return Galvatron and Cyclonus. His Targetmaster partner Nightstick even makes an appearance!
Cyclonus and the other figures from this line are expected to hit retail in the next 4 to 8 weeks. When you get yours, be sure to share your thoughts. In the meantime, check out all 200+ photos of Cyclonus by clicking on any of the images below. His gallery includes all of the images you've come to expect from Seibertron.com over the years. Stay tuned for additional Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom galleries throughout this Thanksgiving week! Let us know what you think of Cyclonus here in our discussion topic about this toy line.

He looks pretty good. I wasn't too keen on him to start with, but this gallery is making him look like a winner. He'll be going on my TF:TM shelf most likely.

It uses the "accordion" transformation, which I think was introduced by my personal favorite Transformers Prime Robots In Disguise Deluxe Class Vehicon, and used rarely or few times since.

That appears to be Alternate Universe Optimus Prime floating in space judging from his bent antennae. I guess in his universe the Ark blows up on the way to Earth?

Very impressive transformation. No backpack outside of the wings which are supposed to be anyway.
The nosecone transformation is also very clever yes. Instead of telescoping needle nose like Universe, it splits down the middle and folds the needle in.
Very cool.
This of course makes it more confusing as to why he's in Kingdom and not SS86. He's got that level of detailed transformation and movie accurate robot mode. Not enough slots in SS to go around?

Kingdom would have had more G1 toys in it if not for Beast Wars sharing the same anniversary as TFTM. Kingdom also has Galvatron, Ultra Magnus, and Rodimus Prime in it too, as well as non-TFTM G1 guys like Warpath, Huffer, Pipes, Tracks, Slammer, Inferno, and rereleases of Arcee and Wheeljack.Overcracker wrote:This of course makes it more confusing as to why he's in Kingdom and not SS86.

Which is my point. Why are certain figures that are clearly meant for the TFtM 86 anniversary in Kingdom?
I can understand G1 updates that were not in the movie to be in the Kingdom line up but movie guys with clearly superior transformations and robot modes? I understand Magnus as a retool and Warpath being in Kingdom, but Cyclonus? Even when his pal Scourge made it into SS-86?
Which makes it the more puzzling how these guys are getting divided. I just don't understand why he's here and Scourge is in SS-86, other than class slots already being taken up in SS, and having to shuffle other figures around, which means the SS-86 slots are limited?
Maybe just a single wave? Already have 3 Deluxes,2 Voyagers and 1 Leader that we know of.
Kind of makes you think what if anything else there may be in SS-86 if most of the rest of main cast is in Kingdom.

Did anyone ever say that Cyclonus wasn't going to be in Studio Series? I don't know about you guys, but I could totally go for a darker repaint. Maybe he'll show up there later? I'm holding out hope.

Nothing has been said that he can't be there later in a darker color. But that would be even stranger. A toy accurate purple over the animation accurate lavender? A non animation accurate re-deco in an animation accurate line of so far new molds?

Great gallery!
I'm still so on the fence about this guy. I love Cyclonus, and it's probably the most accurate CHUG Cyclonus, seemingly a nifty transformation to boot, and will scale well with Studio Series Scourge and Kingdom Galvatron...
...but I love the original Universe 2.0 Cyclonus, and think his robot mode looks BETTER if not more accurate. And if we're just chasing most accurate, I already have FT Quietus for that at MP Scale. And I already have a hard enough time justifying spending space on CHUG and MP collections without trying to justify keeping a second take on a character.
Up to now in WFC, I've let the in-store moment decide. I didn't think I needed a new CHUG Sideswipe... until I saw Siege Sideswipe on the shelf in person and felt an immediate "yes, I need that" response. Same with Hound and Wheeljack. (And I regretted none of those purchases.) But the new Kingdom packaging shows so little of the figure -- and in the case of Cyclonus here, doesn't show the legs, which are the clumsiest looking part.
Maybe better run through all these photos one more time and see if I can make up my mind...

I would disagreee that that color is accurate. Just watched some G1 Season 3 last night while cropping photos. It looks darker to me. It seems to depend on which episode you're talking about and even which scene. I'm not a fan of the lighter lavender and prefer the darker coloring.

Hard to be accurate when the color changes from episode to episode and scene to scene. I think they are going for something that looks like the movie coloring even if not 100% there, not so much the season 3 and 4 colors which had a habit of changing even between cuts of the same scene as you say.
In which case from all the colors Cyclonus has been, which one do you find most accurate, or at least more to your liking?
I like the dark purple of the G1 toy, which the Universe Cyclonus manages to get right in my view.
But I won't say this lavender is bad. Would I like it in a darker purple? Sure. I'd love it in a darker purple.
But its not something we have not seen before.

I think the Reveal the Shield "Rodimus vs. Cyclonus" one has the most middle-ground deco, being not too dark, not too bright, not too purple, and not too blue. A "just right" sweet spot of blue-violet.
Though, the Unite Warriors deco is pretty gorgeous too.

Not sure what I'd do when it comes to organising. Universe Galvatron, mediocre as he is, and his fellow Deluxe-sized minions may be getting their own shelf. Funnily enough, Cyclonus is the only non-Earth Mode of the group.

Still not totally sold over the previous version I have (Hot Rod v. Cyclounus 2 pack). Too beefcake for me. But the transformation, articulation & size are much improved though. I'll probably get him on sale or if it's really nice in hand.

Exception that proves the rule? I think Cogman's the only not-SS-specific mold to be used in SS. I may be wrong though.
with that said, I'm not going to just say its impossible, because I've learned from Hasbro that they sometimes do things nobody thought they would do.

KSI Boss and Thundercracker from TLK Nitro, that baby Dinobot set with Drift and that TLK Bumblebee from the Then and Now 2-pack. Along with Cogman, KSI Boss is the only one in that list that's general retail tho. Wasted a chance of making a Shockwave head even.

Nothing has been said that he can't be there later in a darker color. But that would be even stranger. A toy accurate purple over the animation accurate lavender? A non animation accurate re-deco in an animation accurate line of so far new molds?
Don't forget Cogman. Granted that was an improved Deco but it was a rerelease of an old mold.
Exception that proves the rule? I think Cogman's the only not-SS-specific mold to be used in SS. I may be wrong though.

Nitro Zeus was also used, as Thundercracker and KSI Boss

with that said, I'm not going to just say its impossible, because I've learned from Hasbro that they sometimes do things nobody thought they would do.

Perfectly fine
Point remains that older molds or molds from a different line can be used for SS if the situation calls for it.

Looks like cyclonus legs dont double as stationary holders YAY. He seems to be one of a few characters that has never had a bad figure (I like G1 cyclonus though I can see why others might not). Just not sure I need another one, will have to wait and see if I pick up SS86 Scourge and feel the need for shiny new cyclonus beside him over Unite/CW.

I seem to recall seeing in part of a press release that although there are 16 different cards, each of the four waves only has access to a subset of four. While it's unclear if it's completely random or if specific figures always come with the same card, wave 1 figures will always have one of those four cards. IIRC, they are Optimus dead in space, Dinobot mixed faction group shot, Blackarachnia with extensive red and purple paint apps, and the Ark crash landed in 1984.

The next toy to get the Seibertron.com gallery treatment is War for Cybertron Kingdom WFC-K1 Optimus Prime! This version of the Autobot Leader is part of the new Core Class, which features smaller Transformers like Rattrap and classic "core" characters as well. This new class size offers the chance to have popular characters at a less expensive price point, feature a less complex transformation, and is in a different scale which might be better paired with Titan Class Transformers like Omega Supreme, Fortress Maximus and Metroplex.
Kingdom Core Class Optimus Prime is part of the first wave of the upcoming War for Cybertron Kingdom series which is due out at retail soon. This item is currently available for pre-order at Amazon.com.
Check out our gallery of Core Class Optimus Prime by clicking on any of the images below. The full gallery includes pictures of this figure alongside his Core Class case-mates Rattrap and Vertebreak, other small Optimus Prime figures, and even Titan Class Devastator and Omega Supreme make an appearance. After you're done checking out the gallery, make sure to swing by our forums to share your thoughts about this figure.
Special thanks to our friends at Hasbro for providing us with this figure for us to photograph and share with all of you Seibertronians out there!

The Core Class figures do scale well with Titans, I'll give them that. But its kind of like way back when...A friend of mine tried to convince me that Acton Masters had some merit. He put them next to combiners and such... Then I put Action Master Devastator next to them... kind of throws it out the window.
I'm not saying these toys are bad by any means, just not my thing. Besides I understand that doing original series characters next to BW would be nearly impossible (since all Max/Preds shrunk themselves for the sake of fuel efficiency). Just as long as there is no Core Class Devastator, I guess we are ok

Transformers Legends, Legion and... whatever they were called after that have a wide variety of characters. All the seekers + Acidstorm, a decent Megatron, Powerglide, minibots, insecticons. There are a lot, they are my travel Transformers. And they only had a good optimus but he was too small (the one on the right in the picture). I wished back then, claiming he had a outstanding transformation, robot mode and vehicle mode and that transformation model should be used for a bigger figure. They actually did it, I think the core transformation is the same as the Legion Optimus. They should upscale this Optimus to Voyager if Hasbro feels crazy. I will 100% buy that.
Overall I like they threw in such a strange figure

I wasn't a big fan of this little Optimus when it was first revealed, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. Is there any chance we could get comparison pictures with the T30 legends figure?

BLAM! KAPOW! ZOWIE! Next up in our new galleries featuring the upcoming Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom toy line is none other than WFC-K6 Warpath.
This deluxe class action figure of Warpath is the most G1 cartoon accurate version of this character to date that also mixes in some design elements from his G1 toy. Warpath even has a new shield accessory that forms the front underbelly of his tank mode. Don't forget to get this piece out from the backside of his interior packaging when you remove the toy from its packaging.
This massive gallery also features many comparison pics with other prominent versions of Warpath from his Takara United toy to even his Bot Shots toy. In addition, there are many pics comparing him with the rest of Kingdom Wave 1.
Warpath, along with the rest of the Kingdom toy line, is due to hit retail stores in the near future. Will you be adding him to your collection? After you finish checking out his full gallery by clicking any of the sample images below, make sure to stop by our forums to let us know what you think of this new version of Autobot warrior Warpath.

This does look like the best Warpath we've ever gotten.
Loving all the comparison pics too.
Though, something's wrong with the final page of Warpath's gallery.
EDIT: And now its fixed. Kudos.

I'm gonna spit a hot take here and say I actually think the old Thrilling 30 Legends scale Prime looked a bit better than this. Granted it was more IDW styled, but I have the Nemesis version and he's pretty alright.
