Explanation of the conversion: This conversion represents Cyclonus before he became a Targetmaster.
History (Devil's Due comics): Cyclonus was one of the chief Decepticons under the command of Shockwave on the planet
Cybertron when the Autobots under Optimus Prime returned to Cybertron and attempted to topple Decepticon rule
(G.I. Joe vs The Transformers II #1).
History (Marvel comics): Cyclonus was among the Decepticons commanded by Scorponok who followed Fortress Maximus
and his Autobots to the planet Nebulos (Transformers: Headmasters #2).
When the Decepticons learned that the Autobots had created Targetmasters be converting Nebulans into the weapons of
several Autobot warriors, the Decepticons did the same, and Cyclonus was partnered with Nightstick (Transformers:
Headmasters #4).
When Scorponok's group followed Fortress Maximus to Earth Cyclonus and other Decepticons under Scorponok's command were
tricked into fighting the Decepticons under Ratbat's command by Starscream, so he could
steal Scorponok's space ship and intercept the Underbase (Transformers #49).
Cyclonus is a powerful and emotionless air-warrior. He has no personality, no interests other than conquests for the sake of the Decepticon cause.
Powers: Cyclonus is tough, strong, fast, skilled, and highly intelligent. In he can fly and become a
Cybertonian jet fighter. Cyclonus is equipped with nuclear-powered turbine engines which enable him to reach speeds
greater than Mach 5 and he has an incendiary bomb rack. In robot mode, he carries an oxidating laser that fuses an enemy
robot's internal mechanisms.
Weaknesses: Cyclonus has no true weaknesses. Although arrogant, his abilities usually give him good reason to be.
