<p>MightyMonarch: Just a quick note about his naming conventions.</p> <hr /> <div>{{factions|decepticon|{{factions/icons|custom=ShadalooLogo.png|cSize=60x60px|cLink=Shadaloo}}}}<br /> [[File:VegaScanningMegatron.jpg|upright=2|thumb|For you, the day Bison graced your franchise was the most important day of your life.]]<br /> '''Vega''' (ベガ ''Bega'') is an evil dictator and leader of the [[Shadaloo]] criminal empire. His control over [[Psycho Power]] gives him immense superhuman strength, which he channels into his abilities such as the Psycho Crusher, a spinning forward rush cloaked in Psycho Power; the Head Press, a leaping attack that pushes both feet down against an opponent's head; and the Double Knee Press, a somersaulting kick performed with both legs.<br /> <br /> He does not have a sharp claw.<br /> {{TOCclear}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Street Fighter II x Transformers'' packaging story===<br /> Fighting a losing battle against [[Ryu]], [[Ken]], and [[Chun-Li]], Vega used his Psycho Power to create a dimensional gateway and send a message to the other side, where it was intercepted by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Promising the Decepticon leader immense power, he lured Megatron back to his world and convinced him to join forces. Megatron agreed and scanned Vega, learning his moves and gaining his Psycho Power, and Vega used the opportunity to escape. Secretly, Vega's true aim was for Megatron to lose control of the Psycho Power so that he might take control of Megatron and turn the Decepticon into his new body. However, Megatron anticipated this and planned to use Vega's ambitions against him. {{storylink|Street Fighter II × Transformers|Packaging bio}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===''Street Fighter II × Transformers''===<br /> [[File:TF-X-Street-Fighter-Vega-(M.-Bison).jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|I killed ''my'' father too, and you don't hear ''me'' whining about it!]]<br /> *'''Convoy [Ryu] vs Megatron [Vega]''' ([[May 26]], [[2018]])<br /> **''Accessories'': Cannon, rifle, Headmaster<br /> <br /> :Part of the exclusive ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' toyline, Megatron is a redeco of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Voyager [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Megatron]] in Vega's traditional colors, fleshy bits and all. He transforms from robot to tank to fighter jet (both of made-up model), complete with Shadaloo [[insignia]]. The smaller [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] unit's robot mode is also painted to resemble Vega.<br /> <br /> :Like all Voyager Class ''Titans Return'' figures, he has a pair of pop-up parts to fill in the area around his head; in this case, a pair of missile racks. However, those parts heavily restrict his neck articulation when deployed; unlike many others in his size class, his chest does not contain a pivoting assembly for better range of movement. Due to the nature of his transformation, it is possible to transform Vega into tank mode without removing his head.<br /> <br /> :His cannon can plug into the short barrel of the tank turret or the rifle/Headmaster vehicle weapon. In an undocumented additional feature, the rifle can be inserted into the front end of the cannon. The cannon can be mounted on his forearm or held by any figure with 5mm hands. It also has a peg hole that an accessory such as his rifle can plug into, with extra square peg holes specifically to hold the rifle in place.<br /> <br /> :Vega was only available in a two-pack with with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Street Fighter II × Transformers|Convoy]] [[Ryu|[Ryu]]]. This set was available for pre-order on [[TakaraTomy Mall]] from [[November 22]] to [[November 27|27]], with orders fulfilled in late May of 2018. A pre-order goal was set as well: the first 3000 units pre-ordered would include a free clear display stand.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> *Vega is more commonly known to Western audiences as &quot;'''M.

It's '''Longrack''''s mission to repair this damage. Fixing the planet-wide destruction won't be easy, but Longrack is patient, he'll get it done.<br /> <br /> While he prefers building, this doesn't mean he can't put up a fight. He'll take on any Decepticon that tries to interfere with his work and then finish them off with his Crushsteel Punch!<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Cybertron'' cartoon===<br /> [[Image:LongrackC-Earth.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Why don't you kiss him instead of talking him to death?]]<br /> [[Image:Longrack-Gigantion.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Holy crap, there might actually be up to SIX big guys on Gigantion!]]<br /> Longrack, or possibly someone who just looks like him, appeared on [[Earth]], when [[Mudflap (Cybertron)|Mudflap]] and [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] made amends, along with several [[Blurr (Cybertron)|other]] [[Joyride (Cybertron)|refugees]]. {{storylink|Family}}<br /> <br /> Longrack, or possibly someone who just looks like him, later appeared among a crowd of [[Gigantion]] citizens when [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]] pep-talked his people, preceding the launch of the four colony-world ships, which kicked off the galaxy-spanning [[space bridge|Space Bridge]] project. {{storylink|Beginning}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ===''Timelines''===<br /> When the threat of the great black hole threatened Cybertron, Longrack was chosen by [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]] to lead one of several scout expeditions to search for colony worlds that might hold [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, or information leading to them. He was given command of the ''[[Spanner (ship)|Spanner]]'', along with a crew comprising [[Armorhide (Cybertron)|Armorhide]], [[Checkpoint (Energon)|Checkpoint]], and the newly recruited [[Velocitron|Velocitronian]] named [[Blurr (Cybertron)|Blurr]]. In the region of space known as [[Delta Draconis]], they found a colony world ravaged by war. The colony of [[Combatron (planet)|Combatron]] had been intended as a standing garrison against the inevitable coming of [[Unicron]], but the mysterious disappearance of their [[King Atlas|commanding officer]] set the soldiers against each other, and multiple factions broke out fighting, leading to countless generations of warfare and devastation. <br /> <br /> Alerted to the planet's history by a recovered [[Data-Con]], Longrack and his team had the gift of knowledge when they encountered the world's last apparent survivors, Private [[Whirl (Universe)|Whirl]] and his [[Mini-Con]] allies. Longrack managed to impersonate a drill sergeant, using the Combatrons' strict military training against them in order to end the initial hostilities. After the two sides got to talking, Longrack learned two unpleasant truths: (1) the Combatrons had maintained a vault filled to the brim with a doomsday arsenal the likes of which hadn't been seen in vorns and (2) [[Brushguard]] and a detachment of Decepticons were apparently on the planet and closing in on the arsenal.<br /> <br /> Longrack, Whirl, and the others struck out for the vault and managed to get the drop on the Decepticons, but not before they had begun ransacking the arsenal. Using a drone generator, the Decepticons produced dozens of [[Decepticlone]]s, and Longrack was eventually brought down by the crazed [[Swindle (Cybertron)|Swindle]] and the Decepticlones' superior numbers. The rest of his team soon followed, with only Armorhide still running free. The lone Autobot commandeered the ''Spanner'' and flew it back to the site of the bunker, crashing it into the Decepticon position to unleash a massive explosion. Longrack got his crew on-board the Decepticons' shuttle, the ''[[Upstart]]'', and flew free of the fireball. With Whirl and his Mini-Cons added to the crew, Longrack proceeded on towards his pre-planned rendez-vous with Ultra Magnus and the ''[[Iron Hope (Cybertron)|Iron Hope]]''. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}<br /> <br /> Following the war with [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]], Longrack fell under [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]]'s command on board the ''[[Star Arrow]]''. During a space mission when they were transporting a valuable [[Force Chip]], the ''Star Arrow'' was shot down above the planet [[Sandokan]]. Longrack was seriously injured in the crash, losing most of one of his legs. While searching for the means of repairing their ship, Longrack and the Autobots were attacked by [[Synthos]], the deranged creature who had brought their ship down. They managed to retreat to a cave where they set up camp to repair their injuries and signal for rescue. Unfortunately, things were never that simple. The Decepticon mercenary known as [[Astrotrain (Cybertron)|Astrotrain]] arrived on Synthos, searching for their Force Chip and the [[Dark Heart of Sandokan|Dark Heart]] that powered Synthos. [[Excellion (Cybertron)|Excellion]] kept watch over the injured [[Blurr (Cybertron)|Blurr]] and Longrack while Override and [[Swerve (Cybertron)|Swerve]] confronted the Decepticon. The injured Autobots were caught unawares by Astrotrain's [[Mini-Con]] partners, however, and lost the Force Chip to the mercenaries.<br /> <br /> The Autobots raced after Astrotrain, and caught up with the Decepticon during a skirmish between him and Synthos. Astrotrain attempted to overpower the creature by using the Force Chip, but was fighting a losing battle. Synthos got possession of the Force Chip and nearly became unstoppable as he tried to add its power to his own Dark Heart. Luckily, Excellion and Blurr managed to fend off the creature and reclaim the Force Chip before any of their enemies could.

In the region of space known as [[Delta Draconis]], they found a colony world ravaged by war. The colony of [[Combatron (planet)|Combatron]] had been intended as a standing garrison against the inevitable coming of [[Unicron]], but the mysterious disappearance of their [[King Atlas|commanding officer]] set the soldiers against each other, and multiple factions broke out fighting, leading to countless generations of warfare and devastation. <br /> <br /> Alerted to the planet's history by a recovered [[Data-Con]], Longrack and his team had the gift of knowledge when they encountered the world's last apparent survivors, Private [[Whirl (Universe)|Whirl]] and his [[Mini-Con]] allies.

After the two sides got to talking, Longrack learned two unpleasant truths: (1) the Combatrons had maintained a vault filled to the brim with a doomsday arsenal the likes of which hadn't been seen in vorns and (2) [[Brushguard]] and a detachment of Decepticons were apparently on the planet and closing in on the arsenal.<br /> <br /> Longrack, Whirl, and the others struck out for the vault and managed to get the drop on the Decepticons, but not before they had begun ransacking the arsenal.

The rest of his team soon followed, with only Armorhide still running free. The lone Autobot commandeered the ''Spanner'' and flew it back to the site of the bunker, crashing it into the Decepticon position to unleash a massive explosion. Longrack got his crew on-board the Decepticons' shuttle, the ''[[Upstart]]'', and flew free of the fireball. With Whirl and his Mini-Cons added to the crew, Longrack proceeded on towards his pre-planned rendez-vous with Ultra Magnus and the ''[[Iron Hope (Cybertron)|Iron Hope]]''. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}<br /> <br /> Following the war with [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]], Longrack fell under [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]]'s command on board the ''[[Star Arrow]]''. During a space mission when they were transporting a valuable [[Force Chip]], the ''Star Arrow'' was shot down above the planet [[Sandokan]]. Longrack was seriously injured in the crash, losing most of one of his legs. While searching for the means of repairing their ship, Longrack and the Autobots were attacked by [[Synthos]], the deranged creature who had brought their ship down. They managed to retreat to a cave where they set up camp to repair their injuries and signal for rescue. Unfortunately, things were never that simple. The Decepticon mercenary known as [[Astrotrain (Cybertron)|Astrotrain]] arrived on Synthos, searching for their Force Chip and the [[Dark Heart of Sandokan|Dark Heart]] that powered Synthos. [[Excellion (Cybertron)|Excellion]] kept watch over the injured [[Blurr (Cybertron)|Blurr]] and Longrack while Override and [[Swerve (Cybertron)|Swerve]] confronted the Decepticon.

Synthos got possession of the Force Chip and nearly became unstoppable as he tried to add its power to his own Dark Heart.

<p>MightyMonarch: /* Toys */</p> <hr /> <div>{{factions|decepticon}}<br /> {{disambig3|Buzzsaw}}<br /> :''Buzzsaw is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''<br /> <br /> [[Image:CYB buzzsaw boxart.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Yeah... I'm surprised I exist too.]]<br /> '''Buzzsaw''' is not exactly right in the head. After all, he's one of the few brave or insane enough to have remained on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] during the [[Unicron Singularity]] crisis. Something of an &quot;old school&quot; Decepticon, and a little thick, his one driving goal is to destroy as many [[Autobot]]s as possible. He's not in it for the fame or glory... he just likes killing Autobots, that's all.<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Toy bio===<br /> Buzzsaw was a dangerous rogue from the old guard of the Decepticons. Despite the evacuation of Cybertron during the black hole crisis, Buzzsaw remained on the planet, hoarding as much energon for himself as possible in anticipation of the return of the Autobots, who he could destroy. He practiced his marksmanship by blowing the tops off of old [[energon tower|Energon Tower]]s. {{storylink|#Toys|''Cybertron'' Buzzsaw toy bio}}<br /> <br /> ===''Timelines''===<br /> {{note|See [[#Notes|the Notes section below]] about his cartoon &quot;appearance&quot;.}}<br /> <br /> Buzzsaw was assigned to the ''[[Upstart]]'' by [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]], operating under [[Brushguard]]'s command while they searched the galaxy for more [[Cyber Planet Key]]s. Their search took them to [[Combatron (planet)|Combatron]], a world devastated by conflict between more than a half-dozen factions. The factions had beaten themselves into extinction nearly 350 megacycles ago, but some of their hardware still existed. The Decepticons uncovered a massive bunker heavily guarded by corpses, which spoke to the possible riches inside. After [[Runamuck (Cybertron)|Runamuck]] tore the doors open, that estimation proved to be correct. Behind the door was a virtual treasure trove of death—weapons and armaments of all possible varieties, just ripe for the taking. Runamuck found a pair of still operational [[Mini-Con]] panels and shared his find with Buzzsaw. His new partner, [[Heavy Barrel (GF)|Heavy Barrel]], cheerfully provided some more firepower for Buzzsaw's already impressive arsenal. <br /> <br /> When they finally encountered the Autobots, the 'Cons were backed by an army of newly minted [[Decepticlone]]s. Buzzsaw and Heavy Barrel spent time trading Mini-Con-enhanced firepower with [[Checkpoint (Energon)|Checkpoint]]. Checkpoint's Mini-Con burnt out first, and Buzzsaw and [[Hardtop (Cybertron)|Hardtop]] managed to get the drop on him. Capturing most of the Autobots, the Decepticons were on the verge of victory before some local Mini-Cons stole their shuttle...and the missing Autobot [[Armorhide (Cybertron)|Armorhide]] crashed ''their'' shuttle straight down on the Decepticon position. Buzzsaw and the other Decepticons were left behind on Combatron for three weeks waiting for pick-up...with nothing but Hardtop's supply of comic books to keep them entertained. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}<br /> <br /> Eventually, Buzzsaw and the others were rescued, and they ended up in the employ of the space pirate [[Cannonball (Cybertron)|Cannonball]]. While on the bridge crew of the ''[[Kalis' Lament (Cybertron)|Kalis' Lament]]'', Buzzsaw heard the report from one of their probes that the Autobot shuttle ''[[Star Arrow]]'' had crashed on [[Sandokan]] with a valuable Force Chip in the crew's possession. Buzzsaw laughed out loud when his captain declared Sandokan a &quot;cursed&quot; planet, but his laughter turned to wheezes as Cannonball's vise-like claw closed around his throat. Instead of braving Sandokan themselves, the pirates sent in the mercenary [[Astrotrain (Cybertron)|Astrotrain]] to soften up the resistance for them. Buzzsaw joined his captain on a short-range shuttle when they followed up on Astrotrain's initial strike, engaging the monstrous entity known as [[Synthos]], who had made Sandokan his home. Their fight against Synthos went well, but they made the mistake of leaving the Autobots unattended for too long...along with their shuttle. Buzzsaw and the others were stranded when the Autobots stole their ship (''again''), and they had to wait for the ''Kalis' Lament'' to come pick them up. Still, they did manage to steal Synthos's power source, the [[Dark Heart of Sandokan]], so the trip wasn't a total loss. {{storylink|The Dark Heart of Sandokan}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Cybertron===<br /> [[Image:Cybertron Buzzsaw toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|&quot;I'm very discreet, I have no code of ethics.

While one might think this removes the original [[Mini-Con]] &quot;second cockpit&quot; [[gimmick]], the cockpit can still be lifted up to accommodate [[Crumplezone (Armada)|Crumplezone]] (or [[Heavy Barrel (GF)|Heavy Barrel]]). His primary gimmick is a trigger-activated gear assembly that runs through the length of the vehicle mode; pulling the trigger both spins the rotor blade and a gear system in the cockpit area. Normally, this simply causes his cockpit-mounted twin-cannons to shake back and forth. If Crumplezone/Heavy Barrel is attached in secondary cockpit mode, the gears make their cannon move. Attaching a compatible geared Mini-Con to the square frame on the underside of his cockpit (any member of the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]], the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]], or [[Refute (Armada)|Refute]]) allows the gear system to activate ''their'' gear-wheel gimmicks as well by pulling the trigger.<br /> <br /> : The figure's wing-mounted missile launchers have been retooled to operate off of a [[Cyber Planet Key]] rather than a Mini-Con, which also means he cannot wield the helicopter blade as an arm-mounted weapon as the original does. The Powerlinx ports on his legs do '''not''' activate the pop-out shin-guns anymore; these are released with a simple nudge. Like previous versions of the mold, his booster tail piece can be detached from his tail and slided into his right wrist sculpted twin cannons for a hand blaster but cannot do the same on his left arm.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode the figure features a retooled head which resembles the &quot;robot&quot; head of the [[Buzz Saw (BW)|''Beast Wars'' character]] that is his namesake. <br /> <br /> : In Japan, he was only available in a two-pack with [[Blurr (Cybertron)|Blurr]].<br /> <br /> : Fittingly, this toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the pre-beast form of ''Beast Wars'' Buzz Saw in ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]''.<br /> <br /> {{anchor|Hasbro}}<br /> *'''Buzzsaw''' (Deluxe class, 2005)<br /> **''Accessories'': 2 missiles, Cybertron Decepticon Cyber Key<br /> <br /> : For his [[Hasbro]] release, Buzzsaw was made as an individual as part of the Deluxe assortment. He is seemingly physically identical to the Japanese release, save for his Cyber Key, which has the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] &quot;'''df58'''&quot; [[Tampograph|tampographed]] on its back.<br /> <br /> :Later releases of this toy came with a pack-in DVD of the [[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|''Cybertron'' cartoon]] episode &quot;[[Hidden]]&quot;.<br /> <br /> ::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2005/Decepticon/Buzzsaw/buzzsaw.htm More information on Buzzsaw at TFU.info]''<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Universe (2008)===<br /> [[Image:Universe2008BattleForTheCyberPlanetKeys.jpg|thumb|250px|]]<br /> *'''Battle for the Cyber Planet Keys''' (Figure multi-pack, 2008)<br /> **''Accessories'': 2 missiles, Cybertron Decepticon Cyber Key<br /> <br /> : An unchanged Buzzsaw was re-released alongside similarly unchanged [[Runamuck (Cybertron)#Universe (2008)|Runamuck]], [[Longrack (Cybertron)#Universe (2008)|Longrack]], [[Blurr (Cybertron)#Universe (2008)|Blurr]], and a redeco of ''Armada'' Deluxe class [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Universe (2008)|Optimus Prime]] in a [[Sam's Club]]-[[exclusive]] box set.

<p>MightyMonarch: /* Toys */</p> <hr /> <div>{{factions|decepticon}}<br /> {{disambigm|Cyclonus (disambiguation)|Snow Cat (disambiguation)}}<br /> :''Cyclonus is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''<br /> <br /> [[File:Cyclonus-AR-DVD.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|&quot;Morale? We've never had morale around here!&quot;]]<br /> Cautious. Reliable. Uneager. These are not words to describe '''Cyclonus''' (sometimes '''Snow Cat'''). He is one wild and craaaaaaazy guy. Seriously, he's the guy in the group that even the other Cons think is a little unbalanced. His usual battle tactic is to rush straight in with every piece of artillery he has blazing, all while laughing maniacally. Other times, he yodels while rushing straight in with every piece of artillery he has blazing.<br /> <br /> He loves combat, and isn't particularly picky about which side he's on, so long as he gets to shoot things. He's not especially bright, but [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] knows the value of a soldier largely without fear. <br /> <br /> He is oftentimes partnered with the [[Mini-Con]] [[Crumplezone (Armada)|Crumplezone]], whose optics were opened up to just how much ''fun'' lunatic charges can be. The two get along amazingly well, both having an undying love for the sheer excitement of blowing stuff up real good.<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Toy pack-in comics===<br /> [[File:Armada V1 Cyclonus.jpg|thumb|Ow, I crashed into this stupid turret.]]<br /> <br /> When [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] turned an energon-draining device on [[Cyber City]], Cyclonus and Crumplezone guarded it against Autobot intervention. The duo powerlinked and threatened [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] with a super-cannon when he arrived to foil their plans. Hot Shot's partner [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]] arrived, however, giving him super-speed and driving claws to outmaneuver the Decepticons. Cyclonus and Crumplezone were caught in an explosion when Hot Shot dumped the Decepticon device in a ravine. {{storylink|Armada Volume 1}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon V4 Decepticons.jpg|thumb|left]]<br /> <br /> Somehow, Megatron was able to ambush [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], and forced him to battle Snow Cat, [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]], and [[Shockblast]] without back-up. Luckily for Prime, [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]] arrived with a new Powerlinx mode for the two of them, enabling Prime to annihilate Snow Cat and the other Decepticons with heavy firepower. {{storylink|Energon Volume 4}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Cartoon continuity===<br /> ====''Armada'' cartoon====<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Don Brown]] (English), [[Isshin Chiba]] (Japanese)|[[Mauro Ramos]] (Brazil-Portuguese), [[Tobias Lelle]] (German), [[José María Carrero]] (Spain-Spanish), [[Peter Kjellström]] (Swedish), [[Jyrki Kovaleff]] (Finnish)}}<br /> <br /> Cyclonus was a wild soldier under [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s command, possessing a maniacal personality. He had a tendency to fire at targets frantically, risking damage to his own teammates. Cyclonus was caught snoozing at the Decepticons' [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] base when Megatron, [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], and [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] returned from their first attempt at capturing a Mini-Con on [[Earth]]. At his comrades' arrival, he sprung up to ask how their mission went, only to learn that it had ended in failure.<br /> <br /> [[File:Metamorphdeceps2.JPG|left|thumb|upright=1.3|You're late. Thank you, Mrs. Melp.]]<br /> Cyclonus pleaded with Megatron to allow him the &quot;honor&quot; of scanning the planet for the Mini-Cons. Megatron permitted it, only to return after a short while with a Mini-Con already in hand. Megatron demanded to know how Cyclonus could be so incompetent as to not detect a Mini-Con he had found himself right outside their base. Cyclonus tried to weasel his way out of his failure, but Megatron assured him that he would be spared; he still served some use, after all. The Decepticon leader got [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]] to shoot around Cyclonus some to &quot;inspire&quot; him to work harder though. Two more Mini-Cons were then detected awakening on Earth, and this time around Cyclonus accompanied the others on the recovery mission. Before they headed planet-side, Megatron had them all adopt modified vehicle modes to blend in better. They then came upon the three Mini-Cons [[Grindor (Armada)|Grindor]], [[High Wire (Armada)|High Wire]] and [[Sureshock (Armada)|Sureshock]], accompanied by three Earth children. Taking them for easy pickings, the Decepticons surrounded their targets, only to be prevented from acquiring them by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and his Autobot warriors. {{storylink|Metamorphosis (Armada)|Metamorphosis}} In the battle that followed, Cyclonus managed to land a few good shots on Optimus, bringing the Autobot leader to his knees. The Decepticons still felt it more cautious to retreat, but before they did so, Cyclonus managed to grab a couple of dormant Mini-Cons. He kept [[Crumplezone (Armada)|Crumplezone]] for himself, and presented the other to Megatron, who in turn gave it to Demolishor. {{storylink|Base}}<br /> <br /> Cyclonus was eager to claim the next Mini-Con as his own as well, though Starscream protested that their next acquisition rightfully belonged to him. Megatron ordered the pair to put aside their differences, and the Decepticons headed down to [[Grand Canyon|Big Canyon]], where the newest Mini-Con signal emanated from. Though Cyclonus managed to sideline Hot Shot there, the Decepticons still lost out on adding &lt;s&gt;Leader-1&lt;/s&gt;[[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] to their ranks.{{storylink|Comrade}} The Decepticons' next attempt at capturing a Mini-Con took them to the Antarctic. Megatron had Demolishor and Cyclonus keep tabs on Starscream during their search, though they lost track of him rather quickly. The glow of the Mini-Con panel led them back to their fellow Decepticon, then being overpower by Hot Shot. Megatron, Cyclonus, and Demolishor ganged up on the lone Autobot, with Cyclonus being granted permission to deliver the finishing blow. The execution was spoiled by Red Alert's arrival. The Decepticons continued to fight so long as they outnumbered the Autobots, but as soon as Optimus showed up, they warped back to base. {{storylink|Soldier (episode)|Soldier}}<br /> <br /> After Cyclonus, Starscream, and Demolishor failed a holographic training exercise, Megatron criticized Starscream for his poor show of leadership. Cyclonus then taunted the second-in-command, but before their exchange could escalate into a squabble, the Decepticons' computer signaled that another Mini-Con had been detected.<br /> <br /> [[File:Jungle-Not quite fist bump.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.3|&quot;Wow, dodged a bullet on that one! Thank [[Primus]] my minions are so incompetent!&quot;]]<br /> <br /> The Decepticons warped down into a forest, where they started a forest fire during a clash against the Autobots. While the Autobots ran off to deal with the blaze, the Decepticons focused on acquiring the Mini-Con. Though the Autobots caught up to them, Starscream managed to have [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]] imprint on him, and the Decepticons made another tactical retreat. {{storylink|Jungle}} During some downtime, the Decepticons continued to repair their base of operations. As they were working, Cyclonus got a good laugh at Demolishor being a clumsy oaf and getting on Megatron's nerves.{{storylink|Carnival}}<br /> <br /> While scouring the [[Sahara|Sahara Desert]] for a Mini-Con, Cyclonus was taken for an enemy unit by Demolishor and fired upon. After yelling at his fellow Decepticon some, Cyclonus informed him he was having a lot of difficulty finding anything in the sandy expanse, and took off again. He circled back around to find the Autobots, and helped keep them at a standstill until Demolishor managed to swipe the Mini-Con and bring it back to base. {{storylink|Palace}} Later, Cyclonus came upon the children riding their Mini-Cons in the open. He failed to capture his initial targets, so instead settled on abducting Fred and Billy. Cyclonus then had the other three children convey his ransom message to Optimus; Fred and Billy would be released in exchange for all of the Mini-Cons in the Autobots' possession. When the Autobots turned up, Cyclonus acted as his faction's negotiator in the exchange. As usual, the negotiations quickly devolved into a firefight between the two factions. Cyclonus was punched out of the sky by Hot Shot and fell unconscious. While he was out of it, the Autobots gained the upper hand, and Cyclonus woke up just in time to skedaddle from the scene. {{storylink|Confrontation (episode)|Confrontation}}<br /> [[File:Confrontation-Cyclonus and Rad.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3|Somebody defaced this animation cell!]]<br /> <br /> The Decepticons searched a city's subway system for the next Mini-Con. This frustrated Cyclonus; the confined spaces of the underground disallowed him from flying and moving comfortably. By the time the Decepticons made their way to the Mini-Con's location, the Autobots' children allies had already gotten a hold of its panel. Cyclonus's attempt to smash the brats under-foot was halted by Smokescreen, though the new Autobot wasn't able to deal with all of Megatron's goons by himself. Cyclonus activated the Mini-Con, [[Drill Bit (Armada)|Drill Bit]], who bonded to him, and the Decepticons left the Autobots to dig out Smokescreen from some rubble. {{storylink|Underground (episode)|Underground}}<br /> <br /> Cyclonus and the other Decepticons tracked a Mini-Con signal within [[Atlantis|a city]] at the bottom of the ocean. Instead of heading for it immediately, they lay in wait to ambush the Autobots when they arrived in turn. Despite their surprise attack, the Autobots were able to press on. The Decepticons left, Mini-Con in hand, as the entire underwater structure began collapsing on itself. {{storylink|Ruin}} Their next venture took them to a volcanic island. Cyclonus successfully plucked a Mini-Con panel from a lava flow there, while the other Transformers busied themselves with firing at one another. But when the Autobot-aligned Mini-Cons joined the fray and shot Cyclonus out of the sky, Cyclonus lost the panel to Red Alert. {{storylink|Prehistory}}<br /> <br /> Megatron determined the general location of the Autobots' base thanks to [[Sonar (Armada)|Sonar]]'s ability to sense the other two members of the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] trio. He sent out Cyclonus out to pinpoint it, and after searching for a whole day, Cyclonus finally uncovered it. With the base's defenses turned off, the Decepticons thought it would be a cakewalk to get the Mini-Cons. But the Autobots had trickier tactics to get rid of the intruders. After being confounded by a smokescreen and split up from the others, Cyclonus chanced upon the human children. Figuring he could have another go at holding them ransom for Mini-Cons, Cyclonus chased after them, only to be tricked into stepping into the warp gate. He was teleported away to the Arctic. Before Cyclonus could figure out where he was, Megatron sounded a withdrawal and warped all his minions back to the moon. {{storylink|Swoop (episode)|Swoop}}<br /> <br /> Misfortune continued to ail Cyclonus; on his next mission he nearly managed to grab a Mini-Con panel, only to be knocked out of the sky by Starscream's blade, cleaved from its hilt and sent flying by Hot Shot and the Star Saber. Frustrated over the continuous setbacks they suffered, Megatron brought in the mercenary [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] to assist the Decepticons. Though Scavenger helped out in their next venture, he came in late enough that Cyclonus had already lost his helicopter mode's tail pylon to Hot Shot's blade. At least the mercenary bought him the time he needed to fetch the Mini-Con panel while everyone else was fighting. {{storylink|Overmatch}}<br /> <br /> Cyclonus was next assigned to guard a highway tunnel while Scavenger was within, digging for their next prize. He also caused a gridlock to slow the Autobots down. Hot Shot sidestepped the traffic jam, and Cyclonus ambushed him while he was fighting Scavenger. After Sideways joined the fight, Cyclonus went back to the tunnel... until Hot Shot drove by, provoking him to give chase. Cyclonus was lured to a bridge which Hot Shot then cut down, sending Cyclonus and Scavenger plummeting. Cyclonus ditched Scavenger and took off. Not much of an attention span, that Cyclonus. {{storylink|Gale}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Trust-Scavenger-Cyclonus.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.3|How can you be my father if you're a good guy? I was a bad guy, but...]]<br /> Despite his own lackluster performance on the battlefield, Cyclonus took to mocking Megatron during their next encounter with the Autobots. Though, between Sideways joining the Autobots and Hot Shot being in possession of the Star Saber, none of the Decepticons were fairing well against their opponents. The Decepticons retreated, accidentally warping Sideways and Hot Shot along with them to their moonbase. Megatron told his minions that whichever Decepticon took the Star Saber would get to keep it, but Cyclonus's attempt at stealing it only left him with his rotor chopped off. He recovered in time to beat up Hot Shot after Sideways betrayed him and passed the sword to Starscream. {{storylink|Credulous}} Cyclonus rejoiced over the Decepticons' subsequent series of victories in gathering Mini-Cons. But the Star Saber being in Starscream's hands also led to trouble, as the ambitious 'bot was quick to use the blade in response to any criticism his fellow Decepticons had against him. After failing to take down Optimus on his own during the next mission, Cyclonus suggested taking the Star Saber away from Starscream; due to a set-up orchestrated by Megatron, the rest of the Decepticons were led to believe that Starscream was too unstable to wield it safely. With the sword now being wielded by Megatron, the Decepticons managed to snag the second Mini-Con of the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom Shield]] trio. {{storylink|Conspiracy}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When Starscream voiced his concerns that Scavenger might have went and joined the Autobots after deserting the Decepticons, Cyclonus and Demolishor pointed out that there was no evidence that the mercenary had actually switched sides. Seeing him among the Autobot ranks changed Cyclonus's mind. Cyclonus powerlinxed with [[Drill Bit (Armada)|Drill Bit]] to try and stab Scavenger, but the turncoat was too agile to be hit. Cyclonus then fell victim to Scavenger’s [[Dozer Cannon]] and was taken out of the rest of the fight. {{storylink|Trust (Armada)|Trust}}<br /> <br /> Afterwards, Megatron took out his frustration on his troops by putting them through a &quot;training exercise&quot; where he chased them around with the Star Saber. Cyclonus was able to skip out on most of it, as Megatron focused primarily on chasing Sideways. {{storylink|Vacation}}<br /> <br /> After losing out a Mini-Con to the Autobot team's newest member, [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]], Cyclonus participated in a chase for the last member of the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom Shield]] trio, [[Downshift (Armada)|Downshift]]. Thanks in great part to Blurr and Hot Shot butting heads the whole time, Cyclonus managed to snatch the Mini-Con. With this acquisition, the Decepticons now possessed both the Skyboom Shield and the Star Saber! {{storylink|Reinforcement}} With both weapons in hand, Megatron decided to issue a message to the Autobots, and challenge them to a final clash that would potentially end their war. Throughout the fight, Cyclonus ran interference, preventing the Autobots from coming to Optimus's rescue as Megatron beat him down. He was taken out by a shot that, unbeknownst to him, came from Sideways. Seizing this opening, the Autobots managed to snatch away the Skyboom Shield, and the Decepticons hightailed it back to the moon. {{storylink|Decisive Battle}} Despite this setback, Megatron was quick to orchestrate another confrontation between himself and Optimus. To do so, he set up a trap where a series of warp gates would scatter the Autobots around the globe. Cyclonus was tasked with keeping track of the Warp Gates so the Decepticons could retrieve Megatron if anything went wrong. Being Cyclonus, he lost track of the gates almost immediately. He sorted them out just before Megatron could get beaten down by the bulk of the Autobot forces, and the Decepticons pulled the plug on the operation. {{storylink|Vow}}<br /> <br /> The Decepticons warped back to their base after yet another failed mission, the sound for a retreat having this time been sounded because Sideways had a leg injury. Cyclonus made fun of Sideways's &quot;boo-boo,&quot; but collapsed mid-mockery due to exhaustion. He then slept through most of Sideways's plot to turn the Decepticons against one another, only coming to when he heard that Megatron and Starscream were about to duel. Eager to get a good view, he rushed out giddy with anticipation. The duel ended with Starscream being humbled after Megatron beat him down with his bare hands. {{storylink|Rebellion (Armada)|Rebellion}}<br /> <br /> Despite the Decepticons benefiting from improved morale after Starscream's failed coup, they were unable to best the Autobots, who were growing increasingly effective in their battle tactics. When Cyclonus attempted to fetch [[Dune Runner (Armada)|Dune Runner]]'s Mini-Con panel, he was shot out of the air by Smokescreen, and left blubbering on the ground until the Decepticons pulled out. A new arrival, [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], provided the Decepticons with tactics that surpassed those of the Autobots, and Cyclonus next took part in an ambush that nearly spelled the end of Optimus Prime. But [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] unexpectedly joined the fray, reversing the balance of power once more. {{storylink|Tactician}} Though Demolishor was quick vent his anger towards Thrust, Cyclonus and the other Decepticons still retained faith in their new recruit. Cyclonus, Starscream, and the Decepticons' flying Mini-Cons were organized into a aerial attack-squad that ambushed Jetfire over the ocean, where the other Autobots couldn't come to his aid. The battle was going in the Decepticons' favor until Optimus warped in mid-air, and displayed his ability to combine with Jetfire. Together, the two Autobots took out their Decepticon opponents one-by-one. {{storylink|Linkup}}<br /> <br /> The Decepticons gathered on the Moon so that Thrust could explain why his plans weren't working out. The tactician pointed out that the Decepticons lacked unity, and the reason behind their in-fighting was soon revealed: Sideways was caught reporting to his [[Unicron|unseen master]], admitting that he was keeping the Decepticons from gaining ground on the Autobots. Cyclonus helped his teammates gun down the traitor, only for Sideways to enter his &quot;[[Trans-phase mode]]&quot; and fly off to parts unknown. The Decepticons and Autobots then met in a beachfront battle, {{storylink|Detection}} where Cyclonus was sent wailing off in terror when [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] came bearing down on the scene. He then learned that the new arrival was on his side. Cyclonus continued his assault on the Autobots, only to get shot up by Optimus. {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}} Cyclonus continued to fight on, though a Decepticon victory seemed assured after it was revealed that Tidal Wave could combine with Megatron to grant him flight capabilities and additional firepower. Cyclonus attacked Hot Shot, but lost the tussle between the two. The Autobots then secured a victory by acquiring the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]]. {{storylink|Desperate}} What followed was some uneventful downtime, during which Cyclonus mostly stood around, made jokes that only he found funny, and pestered Thrust after he had been tasked with tracking down the Space Mini-Con team. {{storylink|Runaway}}<br /> <br /> Cyclonus was on hand when [[Wheeljack (Armada)|Wheeljack]] was welcomed into Megatron's forces. {{storylink|Past II}}<br /> <br /> After the bulk of the Autobots had been lured away from their base, Cyclonus participated on an attack on the enemy headquarters which ended with the Requiem Blaster in Megatron's hands, and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] at death's door. {{storylink|Sacrifice}} The Decepticons regrouped at their base, where Megatron congratulated Thrust for getting him the Requiem Blaster. Cyclonus and Demolishor griped that Thrust was taking credit for their part in the weapon's acquisition. Starscream then walked in, and took out his frustration on being left behind on Thrust. Cyclonus rather enjoyed the show. Megatron stopped the fight however, and sent his troops off. Cyclonus and Wheeljack rushed back to Megatron's throne room when they heard that Starscream was rebelling against Megatron. Starscream shot them both before they could intervene, and left to join the Autobots. {{storylink|Regeneration (Armada)|Regeneration}}<br /> <br /> The Decepticons were gathered in Megatron's throne room when an alarm sounded throughout their base. Wheeljack suggested that maybe the alarm signaled an incursion from the Autobots, but Cyclonus dismissed the idea as preposterous. As far as he was concerned, there was no way the Autobots were smart enough to get passed their security system. He was wrong, of course, and the Autobots led a siege that ended with nearly all of the Decepticon-held Mini-Cons being liberated under their care. {{storylink|Rescue}} Cyclonus and the others were stuck filling in for the tiny 'bots, picking up where they'd left off on the construction of a spaceship, and cutting into the time the Decepticons would have otherwise spent gossiping, and watching Megatron vent his anger by destroying the lunar landscape. {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}}<br /> <br /> Cyclonus participated on an attack on the Autobot base. Though he was shot down immediately, elsewhere on the battlefield Thrust convinced Starscream to return to the Decepticons with the Star Saber and Skyboom Shield. {{storylink|Crack (episode)|Crack}} With the sword, the shield, and the blaster now in hand, the Decepticons finalized the construction of the [[Hydra Cannon]], powered by all three Mini-Con weapons. They then used its awesome firepower to obliterate a comet before turning their sights towards the Earth.{{storylink|Threaten}} As the Hydra Cannon aligned itself, Megatron gave Thrust the new nickname &quot;Squidhead.&quot; Cyclonus found this moniker especially hilarious. When Optimus Prime and Jetfire arrived to stop the Decepticon ship from unleashing its power against Earth, Cyclonus, Demolishor, and Wheeljack dealt with Jetfire, pinning him down and leaving him unable to stop Optimus from sacrificing himself to stop the cannon's blast. {{storylink|Crisis (Armada)|Crisis}}<br /> <br /> With Optimus destroyed, Cyclonus and the other Decepticons set course back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Remorse}} Cyclonus expressed confusion over why Megatron seemed so morose after the death of Optimus Prime. Wheeljack explained to him that the sudden loss of an eternal rival could be discomforting. {{storylink|Depart}} After Megatron turned the Decepticons' ship around to crush their Autobot pursuers, Cyclonus battled against Blurr amidst an asteroid field. The fighting came to an end when Optimus was revived by the Mini-Cons, and used the power of his Super Mode to push Megatron back. {{storylink|Miracle}} Cyclonus was further confused by Megatron laughing to himself over Optimus Prime's return to the living. Demolishor pointed out to him that it was better than Megatron yelling at them all the time, and Cyclonus agreed. {{storylink|Puppet}}<br /> <br /> Arriving on their home planet ahead of Optimus Prime and his soldiers, the Decepticons managed to take Cybertron by force. During a war-charge led by Galvatron (formerly Megatron), Cyclonus and the others came upon Optimus and Jetfire. The Decepticons retreated when the Autobots brought to their attention a black hole overhead the Mini-Cons were in the process of keeping at bay, and warned of the approach of &quot;[[Unicron]].&quot; {{storylink|Uprising (Armada)|Uprising}} Cyclonus encountered Hot Shot when the Autobot attempted to infiltrate Galvatron's fortress. Though all too happy to gun down the intruder, Cyclonus stepped down to allow Wheeljack his revenge against Hot Shot. But Hot Shot managed to convince his opponent to allow him to deliver his message to Galvatron. In the throne room, Cyclonus was mostly confused over the talk of Unicron and betrayals. Galvatron made things clearer by ordering him to pursue Thrust, revealed to be an agent of Unicron, as the traitor absconded into the depths of Cybertron with the Skyboom Shield and Requiem Blaster in hand. {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}}<br /> <br /> Cyclonus was present when Starscream pled with Galvatron to put aside his enmity towards Optimus, and join forces with the Autobots. Galvatron refused to acknowledged the greater threat of Unicron, and Cyclonus sided with him, saying their leader knew what he was doing. Cyclonus later accompanied Galvatron as he attacked Optimus's forces in a canyon. He was kept occupied by the enemy soldiers while Optimus tried to reason with Galvatron. The Autobots' and Decepticons' firefight was interrupted by an energy discharge from Unicron, and soon thereafter Galvatron was swayed by Starscream's death to unite his forces with Optimus's. {{storylink|Cramp}} Cyclonus showed no grief over his fellow Decepticon's demise, though a punch from Galvatron made him shut his yap on the subject. Cyclonus then attended a formal alliance ceremony where the Autobots and Decepticons officially joined forces, grudgingly shaking hands with Side Swipe. He and Demolishor subsequently joined Hot Shot and Side Swipe on a reconnaissance mission to Unicron's surface, though Cyclonus deviated from the mission immediately in a trigger-happy craze. As Unicron began transforming, Cyclonus nearly fell to his death down a chasm, but was saved thanks to the combined efforts of Demolishor and the Autobots. The scouting party was then rescued from Unicron's surface by Jet Optimus and Galvatron. {{storylink|Alliance}} All attempts to damage Unicron proved futile. Determining their best plan of attack laid in attacking Unicron from within, Optimus and Galvatron infiltrated their gargantuan foe's body. Meanwhile, Cyclonus and the rest of the troops kept Unicron occupied with their ships, in the hopes of forestalling Cybertron's annihilation. {{storylink|Union}}<br /> <br /> Thankfully, Galvatron, Optimus, the kids and their companion Mini-Cons managed to travel within Unicron and remove the Mini-Con weapons powering him. Unicron became inert. Cyclonus then joined Jetfire on a flight over to the evil planet to retrieve their respective leaders, though Unicron began to stir en-route. A final assault was launched on Unicron, though it proved unnecessary; within him, Galvatron sacrificed himself after a ferocious duel with Optimus. Robbed of the hatred Galvatron provided him, Unicron was no longer able to sustain himself, and vanished from existence. Afterwards, Cyclonus joined the Autobots' unit, though with reservations. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}<br /> <br /> =====Alternate timeline=====<br /> In a timeline where the Cybertronians' conflict never left their home planet, the Mini-Cons' influence on the Autobots and Decepticons subjugated the larger robots. Cyclonus and the rest of his kind were left entangled in a semi-organic growth spawned from Unicron's cells, and were shut down by Unicron's power. Carlos, Alexis, and Rad appeared before him, visitors from another time, and beheld Cyclonus's inert form before shooting off into time once more, eventually leading to Cyclonus's fate being prevented. {{storylink|Drift (episode)|Drift}}<br /> <br /> ====''Cloud''====<br /> {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Return}}}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====''Energon'' cartoon====<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Don Brown]] (English), [[Isshin Chiba]] (Japanese)|[[José María Carrero]] (Spain-Spanish), [[Johan Hedenberg]] (Swedish, Cyclonus), [[Anders Öjebo]] (Swedish, Snow Cat), [[Ari Wirta]] (Finnish)}}<br /> {{noteslonly}}<br /> <br /> Cyclonus was stationed as the guardian of the [[Cybertron City (city)|Cybertron City]] [[Lunar City|based on the moon]]. Although he served in his role dutifully, he was yearning for the days of combat. Not long after the attacks on Mars and Asteroid City, the Moon would also be attacked, a battle through which Cyclonus would hold up a small resistance before he was presumed destroyed. {{storylink|Energon Stars}}<br /> <br /> As [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] prepared for more [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] assaults on Earth, Cyclonus surfaced, having tucked tail and ran, abandoning the Cybertron City on the moon to be looted of its [[Energon]]. Cyclonus had learned of Megatron's potential rebirth, and shared the news with Demolishor during some friendly sparring. He then assisted Demolishor and the Autobots defend [[Plains City]] until [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] showed up wielding [[Megatron's Sword]], a blade forged by [[Alpha Quintesson]] from the Spark of Megatron. Believing that it was proof of Megatron's impending return, Cyclonus abandoned the Autobots and Demolishor, joining Alpha Quintesson's forces. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}<br /> <br /> Returning from an Energon-gathering mission, Cyclonus and Tidal Wave found Megatron's remains within Unicron. Cyclonus attempted to reawaken their leader, to no effect. Both Decepticons then questioned Scorponok about Megatron's status; now that they had seen in what poor condition he was in, doubts began to seep in over whether or not it was truly possible for Megatron to be revived. Scorponok and Alpha Q dismissively told the pair to keep on task. Cyclonus, Tidal Wave, and a horde of Terrorcons zeroed in on an Energon expedition led by Hot Shot, and triggered an avalanche to sweep away the Autobot. The Autobots regrouped, fought back, and during the battle verbally sparred for Demolishor's loyalty with Cyclonus. Despite Scorponok arriving late into the battle with reinforcements, Cyclonus and his team were forced to pull back after the Autobots warped in an entire city atop the Energon cache, securing it under Autobot control. {{storylink|The New Cybertron City}}<br /> <br /> Cyclonus was the first to enter a battle for [[Jungle City]] but also the first to leave when he realized that the Autobots had fitted the installation with automated defensive artillery. After the rest of the Terrorcons followed suit, Cyclonus and Tidal Wave apologized to their inert leader for not securing the energon needed to revive him. Cyclonus then grew irritated over their situation, and kicked Megatron's corpse. Suddenly, Megatron's voice filled the cavern, telling his former minion to stop doing that. Tidal Wave defended Megatron, but Cyclonus reminded him how badly they had been treated under his command and stated that he preferred that Megatron remained powerless, kicking him again. Megatron spoke up once more, making Cyclonus realize he would wind up in big trouble when his leader did revive. Scorponok then entered the cavern brandishing Megatron's [[Energon Sword]]. Scorponok claimed that Megatron had been siphoning their energon reserves for himself, and that he intended to rectify this problem. He stabbed Megatron's spark with his Energon Sword, inadvertently completing the Decepticon's resurrection. Cyclonus laughed maniacally as Megatron burst out of his old body, like an insect from its cocoon. Lucky for him, Megatron was now too preoccupied with Scorponok to follow up on his previous threat.<br /> <br /> When Megatron was about to deliver a killing blow to Scorponok, Cyclonus backed up the former chamberlain's claim that his actions were at the bidding of Alpha Q. Megatron spared Scorponok to pursue Alpha Q instead, though he escaped the Decepticons aboard Unicron's head. Shifting his attention once more, Megatron led Cyclonus and the rest of his minions in an attack on [[Plains City]], from which they emerged victorious. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}} Cyclonus cackled gleefully as Megatron allowed their enemies retreat to lick their wounds. He later joined in an attack on Ocean City, only to be beaten back by Hot Shot, wielding a copy of Megatron's energon sword. {{storylink|Megatron Raid}} Cyclonus accompanied Megatron on an attack on Lunar City, though their forces were pushed back before they could acquire more Energon. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}} The next raid on Lunar City was more successful, as the Autobots had left it unguarded while venturing to Asteroid City. Cyclonus accompanied Megatron on that attack, and then journeyed with him into the asteroid belt. There, they retrieved Scorponok from an Autobot interrogation, and detonated an energon-rich asteroid to cover their escape. {{storylink|Battle of the Asteroid Belt}}<br /> <br /> As Megatron's soldiers scrounged up the last remaining morsels of Energon on Mars, Cyclonus complained about being bored. Megatron promised him some action once their preparations were done, and delivered on his promise when he led his troops on another attack on Ocean City. Cyclonus engaged Jetfire in aerial combat for most of the conflict, only to be sniped down by Inferno. He returned to the battle just in time to fly headlong into Tidal Wave, and be forced away by the activation of the Autobots' newest weapon, an Energon Tower. {{storylink|Energon Tower}} After that venture, Cyclonus was no longer too keen on launching another attack on the Earth. He then took a nap, only to be awoken when Starscream made an assassination attempt on Megatron. But Megatron had grown too powerful for the mercenary, and Cyclonus witnessed his leader psychologically torment Starscream before reprogramming him into a loyal Decepticon. {{storylink|The Legend of Rodimus}} Cyclonus watched as Starscream was inducted fully into Decepticon ranks, and then joined in on an attack on [[Jungle City]]. The Decepticons gained control of the city, but it was detonated by the Autobots, preventing the Decepticons from acquiring the Energon housed within. {{storylink|Crisis in Jungle City}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Dangling-Decepticons.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|...Is TFWiki finally running out of captions?]]<br /> Megatron then learned through Demolishor of Kicker's extra-sensory power to detect energon. Intrigued, Megatron tasked Cyclonus to help him distract Optimus while Demolishor went after the boy. Amidst the ruins of Lunar City, the Autobots managed to warp in another completed Energon Tower, forcing the Decepticons to retreat once more, foiling the abduction. On their way out, Cyclonus retrieved Demolishor, but sustained damage doing so. He begged Megatron to repair him back at the Decepticons' base. In a rage, Megatron bound Cyclonus to the wall using [[Unicron]]'s internal tentacles, and infused him with Unicron's essence in a painful manner. This resulted in Cyclonus being upgraded into '''Snow Cat''' {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}} Megatron left him strapped to the wall as he enacted his next plot, this one involving sending artificially-created meteors towards the Earth in the hopes of destroying it. The plan failed when the Autobots managed to activate a planet-wide, protective &quot;Energon Grid&quot; around the Earth. {{storylink|Energon Grid}}<br /> [[File:Energon-Snow-Cat-1st-Appearance.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|Of course, male Transformers like molluscs.]]<br /> <br /> Once released from his restraints, Snow Cat took up skiing amidst debris fields in the void of space, yodeling all the while. Using his new weaponry to first freeze some of the debris, he then sent it earth-wards, only for the Energon grid to send laser beams in his direction, forcing Snow Cat to flee. Later, when Megatron’s suspicions about Scorponok still working for Alpha Q came to a head, Megatron strapped Scorponok to another artificial comet and sent him hurling towards the Earth’s Energon Grid. Snow Cat taunted him briefly as he approached his impending doom. {{storylink|Rodimus Friend or Foe?}} Rodimus arrived to rescue Scorponok, and the Decepticons engaged him and his crew. During the fight, [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] grabbed Snow Cat by the head and tossed him away. Knocked silly, Tidal Wave had to retrieve Snow Cat before the Decepticons pulled back. Later, Snow Cat alerted Megatron that they had detected an Autobot ship heading for their position. This ship was Optimus's vessel, the ''Miranda II'', built for tracking down Unicron's body in the far reaches of space. The ship deployed an [[Energon Ring]] to generate its own ship-sized warp gate, but Snow Cat disabled the device before the Autobots could activate it. He then gunned for Skyblast and Strongarm as they attempted to fix the ring, forestalling the Autobots' departure further. Ironhide ran interference with only partial success, as he knocked Snow Cat into the Omnicons, preventing them outright from completing their task. Kicker managed to do the job himself, and after the ''Miranda II'' activated its Energon shield, destroying Demolishor in the process, Megatron ordered his troops to retreat. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}}<br /> <br /> Snow Cat somehow tracked the Autobots to an icy planet in another galaxy. Learning that Optimus Prime had found a stockpile of Energon on this distant world, Snow Cat transmitted his findings to Tidal Wave, who in turn informed Megatron. Snow Cat goofed off in the wintery landscape until he was joined by Demolishor, now reborn in a new body. Together, they tracked down a small team of Autobots led by Kicker, and drove them away from an energon repository. They watched over several Battle Ravages gathering up energon until they were in turn attacked by [[Cruellock|a new breed of Terrorcons]]. Though they lost several of their own Terrorcon units, the Decepticons were eventually left in control of the planet, as they destroyed the new Terrorcons and the Autobots were force to flee. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}} After that, Snow Cat took part in a rather half-hearted attack on the ''Miranda II'' in deep space, and was again driven off. {{storylink|A Tale of Two Heros}} He later engaged Hot Shot in a vehicle mode battle on the ''Miranda II'''s hull as both the ship and Unicron returned to Cybertron via space bridge. The Decepticons were forced to warp away when the Autobots turned the planet's Energon Grid on, inflicting massive damage onto Unicron's body. {{storylink|Battle Stations}}<br /> <br /> The sight of Unicron in the skies of Cybertron led the Decepticons on the planet to revolt—news that Snow Cat and Demolishor happily brought to Megatron, though he wasn't particularly bothered. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}} Snow Cat was part of the unit sent down to Cybertron's surface to recruit Decepticon war criminal [[Shockblast]]. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}} Several Decepticon refugees then followed Shockblast's example, and fled Cybertron to join Megatron. Snow Cat was tasked with overlooking these refugees as they assembled within Unicron. He used his authority to goof around until Megatron began to lose control of Unicron. Several energon-draining spikes sprung out of Unicron's interiors and skewered the new arrivals, with Snow Cat barely managing to evade being killed himself. Unicron only calmed down once he absorbed enough Energon to sate his hunger for the time being. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}} With that situation now under control, Snow Cat was sent as part of a team back down to Cybertron to create an opening in the planet's energon grid. They managed to fell only a few towers before they had to retreat due to Tidal Wave sustaining heavy damage. {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} With Tidal Wave (rebuilt as &quot;Mirage&quot;) leading another raid, Snow Cat helped hold off the Autobots while Terrorcons gathered energon from the planet's core. This energon re-powered Unicron enough for Megatron to have him transform, and Snow Cat helped keep the attacking Autobots busy while the process completed itself. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}} When Unicron's transformation was done, Megatron opened his surface beneath Demolishor and Snow Cat so they could escape a standoff with Scorponok, but the Terrorcon leader dogged them through Unicron's interior, foiling their every attempt to battle the Autobots. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} Subsequently, an unstable energon reaction initiated by Alpha Q opened up a rift in space, through which Demolishor, along with Unicron and all the other Decepticons, were sucked into. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}} <br /> <br /> On the [[Alpha Q's universe|other side of the rift]], Alpha Q used Unicron's head and his energon to begin recreating all the planets that Unicron had once eaten, and Snow Cat and the Decepticons began stealing the energon growing within them to continue Megatron's plans for Unicron's body. The Autobots followed, and succeeded in apprehending Shockblast. Snow Cat and the other Decepticons purposely left him in Autobot custody when they ventured to [[Iron Planet]] to acquire its energon reserves. {{storylink|Protection}} After Shockblast apologized and promised to pledge his renewed loyalty to Megatron, the Decepticons put the effort forward to rescue him from the Autobots. As the others cornered Shockblast's jailer, Inferno, Megatron tasked Snow Cat with calling in Scorponok and the Terrorcons in anticipation of Optimus turning up. Optimus arrived before Scorponok did though, and Snow Cat came to be on the receiving end the Autobot leader's laser-blasts with no back-up. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}}<br /> <br /> During the Decepticon attack on [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], Snow Cat helped run interference in orbit to keep the Autobots from getting down to the planet's surface, but he and his team-mates were taken down by new Autobot arrivals [[Team Bulkhead]]. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} Undeterred, Snow Cat and the Decepticons soon made another play for Jungle Planet's energon, only to be repelled when the Autobots erected a new energon tower to shield the planet. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}}<br /> <br /> Snow Cat was part of attack force on [[Blizzard Planet]] who failed to prevent another energon tower from being activated there. Afterwards, he accompanied Megatron as he investigated a Decepticon signal emanating from Inferno, then struggling to overcome mind-altering reprogramming the Decepticon leader had inflicted upon him. When Megatron was called away to [[Ocean Planet]], he brought Snow Cat, Shockblast, and Mirage along with him, while the other Decepticons were left to help Inferno through his &quot;transition.&quot; Snow Cat tried to destroy the Autobots' last energon tower before it could come online, but as on his last mission, met with too much Autobot resistance to see this through. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}}<br /> <br /> ''With an Energon grid now protecting most of the planets, the Decepticons had to scavenge what they could from the half-formed world outside the grid. Just as Snow Cat begun his menial labor, Starscream came to fetch him with some news: [[Planet Q]] had just been revitalized outside the grid! Snow Cat took part in the battle on the newly-formed world, but when Scorponok deviated from his mission parameters, Megatron called a retreat.'' {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}}<br /> <br /> Between fights, Demolishor and Snow Cat shuttled supplies around, but had to contend with tremors that shook Unicron, spawned by Megatron's impatience. {{storylink|Crash Course}}<br /> <br /> On their next energon-gathering mission, Snow Cat and his buddies came under attack from the Autobots, but managed to cover the Terrorcons' escape, allowing them to deliver the final payload of energon needed to power Unicron back up to the stage where he could move again. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} Snow Cat and the other 'Con grunts then battled the Autobots on Unicron's surface, preventing them from interfering with Megatron's successful reintegration of Unicron's body and head. Though Megatron succeeded, his actions seemed so brash throughout the process that Snow Cat of all people begun to question his leader's sanity. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}}<br /> <br /> Optimus used new powers granted to him by his combination with Omega Supreme to toss Snow Cat and Mirage around like rag dolls as he made his way towards Megatron's throne room. As soon as the pair recovered, they were hounded by a team of Autobots led by Hot Shot, leaving them unable to help Megatron gather the last bit of Energon he needed to fully awaken Unicron. As the battle went on, Snow Cat learned that it was no longer Megatron, but Shockblast that was now controlling Unicron, a revelation that sent him into a panic. Once he regained his composure, Snow Cat and Mirage continued to battle Autobots seeking an audience with Megatron. Then... the voice of the Decepticon leader was heard throughout the planet, declaring Megatron was no more: Unicron was now in command of the Decepticon's body! {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage struggled to escape the planet-eater's internal defenses. They failed, and ended up bound to Unicron's surface by energy-tendrils, giving them a front-row seat for Unicron/Megatron's battle with the giant-size, [[Primus]]-empowered Optimus Supreme. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Fortunately for them, they were freed by a barrage of Autobot fire moments before Optimus destroyed Unicron, and captured by [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]]. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}<br /> <br /> With Megatron having apparently perished along with Unicron, Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage were incarcerated on Cybertron. There, Snow Cat made the acquaintance of [[Six Shot]], Shockblast's brother, and told him that Optimus had slain his sibling. The jailbirds were then freed by Starscream, who revealed that Megatron still lived. {{storylink|Ambition}} After finding Mirage (who had previously gotten separated from the group) Snow Cat passed on the news that their leader was still alive. Mirage was overjoyed, and Snow Cat joined him in sowing wanton destruction in celebration. {{storylink|Wishes}}<br /> <br /> Six Shot succeeded in taking control of the energon gas powering the grid and using it to force the Autobots off the planet, and Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage soon began to feel a bit under-appreciated as Megatron (now &quot;Galvatron&quot; again after exposure to Super Energon) praised Six Shot for his accomplishments. However, following a battle on the hull of the ''Miranda II'', during which Snow Cat and Demolishor were clobbered by Omega Supreme, they all enjoyed watching Galvatron beat Six Shot up for taking action without orders. {{storylink|Galvatron!}} The Autobots were soon to find a way to break through the gas shroud and return to Cybertron; Snow Cat took part in the battle that followed, which concluded with the Autobots escaping underground. {{storylink|Break Through}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Distribution FusionDance.JPG|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> At some point, Snow Cat took part in a virtual fighting tournament, thanks to Six Shot hacking into an Autobot training program. Fighting as a tag team, he and Demolishor went up against [[Prowl (Energon)|Prowl]] and [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]], and won when the two Autobots took themselves out of the fight by powerlinxing incorrectly—though in the process, the two Decepticons were inspired to try powerlinxing themselves, even if they couldn't get it quite right. Proceeding to the next round, they discovered their opponents were Galvatron and Starscream, who had already beaten virtual duplicates of the pair in their original bodies in the previous round. Frustrated to have found his minions goofing off in the game, Galvatron thrashed them, then quit the tournament. {{storylink|Distribution}}<br /> <br /> Hoping to get a taste of the Super Energon that had empowered Galvatron and Starscream, Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage went searching for the subterranean reservoir that held the miracle fuel, accidentally stumbling into Primus's chamber in the process. Finding Rad and the Jones family taking refuge there, Snow Cat and Demolishor left Mirage to stand guard and forced [[Brian Jones (Energon)|Brian Jones]] to lead them to the [[Super Energon Temple|temple]] containing the Super-Energon. {{storylink|The Omega Train}} They hesitated over immersing themselves in it, but were finally about to go through with it when a horde of [[Insecticon (Energon)|Insecticon Terrorcon drones]] burst out of the reservoir's depths and spooked them away. {{storylink|Decepticon Army}} Fleeing from the Insecticons, grown to giant size by the Super Energon, the two Decepticons headed back to the surface and sent word of the creatures' approach to Galvatron, news-reporter style. They then rejoined their leader on the battlefield, just in time for Optimus to have his spark of combination re-energized by Primus's awakening. Once more able to combine with Omega Supreme, Optimus blew away all of his enemies with a whirlwind attack. {{storylink|Ironhide Team}} <br /> <br /> Once the rogue Terrorcons were back under control, the Decepticons turned to the business of using the energon towers to move Cybertron through space, through the rift back to Alpha Q's realm. Snow Cat helped battle the Autobots as the planet moved through the rift, and later tried to defend the towers against Autobot attack, though both times, he had to contended with Six Shot's ambition constantly undermining their battlefield movements. {{storylink|Formidable}}<br /> <br /> Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage were made spectators as Galvatron beat Six Shot for the umpteenth after the insubordinate Decepticon defied orders. To make sure Six Shot wouldn't start any more trouble in his absence, Galvatron had the trio keep a constant eye on him. Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage abandoned their post when Six Shot tricked them into thinking they should make another attempt at super-charging themselves with super energon. Six Shot then remotely trapped the &quot;blockheads&quot; inside the base's corridors but lowering blast doors all around them. They were found and berated by Starscream for once again failing at the simplest of tasks. The lecture was cut short by the arrival of the Autobots, who managed to drive out the Decepticons from their base and retake control of Cybertron's warp gate system. Everyone's attention then shifted towards a more pressing matter: Galvatron had used super energon to grow himself into a giant. {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}} The Decepticons asked their great leader what was going on, but Unicron's influence on his mind having grown alongside his physical size, Galvatron only answered by laughing menacingly. Despite the lack of a intelligible response, Snow Cat and the others continued to ward off the Autobots as they tried to swarm the colossus. Eventually, Galvatron became so large that Snow Cat suggested the Decepticons vamoose, to avoid getting stepped on. Once Galvatron took to space, Starscream insisted they follow him. The Decepticons continued to make war with the Autobots, fluttering about like skirmishing insects around the now Unicron-sized Galvatron. {{storylink|Destructive Power}}<br /> <br /> When Optimus Prime used the power of Unicron to grow to a titan of equal height, Snow Cat and Demolishor broke off from the battle to excitedly watch the two giant leaders duke it out on Jungle Planet. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}} Unable to make much in the way of a contribution to the huge scale of the final battle, Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage could only spectate as the possessed Galvatron shook off Unicron's influence long enough to sacrifice himself by plunging into a foundling energon sun created by Primus. While loyalists Starscream and Mirage followed their leader into solar oblivion, the long-suffering Snow Cat and Demolishor could only float in space and ponder what to do next with their lives. {{storylink|The Sun}}<br /> <br /> ====''Universe'' toy bio====<br /> Following [[The Powerlinx Battles]], Snow Cat went totally starkers (it wasn't a long trip), and without Megatron to guide him, wandered the streets of [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], a raving loon during the planet's evacuation. {{storylink|#Universe (2003)|Snow Cat's ''Universe'' toy bio}}<br /> <br /> ===Dreamwave ''Armada'' continuity===<br /> ====''Armada'' comic====<br /> Before the war with the Autobots began, Cyclonus was part of [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]'s inner circle. He and [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] attacked [[Mini-Con Sector|Mini-Con Village C52]], capturing most of its population after getting past its [[Filtrek|forceshield]] by simply attacking from underground. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 1|Armada #1}} After picking C52 resident [[Crumplezone (Armada)|Crumplezone]] as his personal slave, Cyclonus participated in the Decepticon assault on [[Cyber City]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 2|Armada #2}}<br /> <br /> One million years later, Cyclonus was present when the Decepticons learned that the Mini-Cons who had fled from Cybertron during the war had ended up on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 3|Armada #3}} He, Demolishor and [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] traveled to the alien planet via [[space bridge]] and assaulted a military base for new [[alternate mode]]s. After complaining about the humans' stench and taking out their communications systems, Cyclonus scanned a helicopter and joined Megatron for some Mini-Con hunting. He found out the hard way that the Autobots had also come to Earth when [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] caved his cockpit in. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 4|Armada #4}} Cyclonus and the others fought a short battle with the Autobots, but were forced to retreat when their enemies got some Mini-Cons of their own. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 5|Armada #5}}<br /> <br /> Cyclonus later helped capture the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]], which led to Megatron getting his hands on the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 6|Armada #6}} Using this mighty weapon, the Decepticons attacked the Autobots' headquarters. Cyclonus overheard Starscream complaining that Megatron didn't even need his loyal troops now that he had the power of the Star Saber, and told him to stop being so whiny: they were Megatron's eyes and ears, and he would never forget about them! He then fought with the Autobots, lost, and retreated in short order. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 7|Armada #7}}<br /> <br /> Megatron eventually came up with the idea to mix Cybertronian technology with human anatomy to create a power source, similar to that of the Mini-Cons, and had Starscream send out Swindle into the wild to lure out some specimens. Cyclonus and Starscream surveyed the Mini-Con from overhead, and moved in once he had secured two targets: Carlos and Rad! Hot Shot, Smokescreen, and Red Alert turned up to rescue their friends, and Cyclonus got knocked out of the sky by a solid right-hook dispensed by Hot Shot. But when Megatron involved himself, the would-be-rescuers were quickly defeated. Afterwards, Swindle demanded his freedom for his part in the Decepticons' plot. The bulks laughed at the Mini-Con, making it clear that nothing would ever convince them to grant him such a thing. This provoked Swindle to free the Autobots from their bonds, forcing Cyclonus and the other Decepticons to retreat. {{storylink|Armada Free Comic Book Day}}<br /> <br /> Some time later at the Decepticons' [[Silver Ridge]] base, Cyclonus went to put the Mini-Cons &lt;s&gt;to bed&lt;/s&gt; back in their cells, but found that the little 'bots had run away. When he tried to recall them, he found that they had tampered with the base's internal defenses, turning them against him. Cyclonus, who had forgotten the emergency override code, was promptly imprisoned in the base and blasted by laser turrets. Luckily, the lasers were only set to harm Mini-Cons, so he wasn't too injured to participate in the hunt for the escaped Mini-Cons. The Decepticons followed their Mini-Cons to a [[Mini-Con Ark|structure]] in [[Kansas]], but failed to stop them from entering it and blasting off into space. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 8|Armada #8}}<br /> <br /> The Decepticons found that the Mini-Cons had traveled to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], and soon followed them there. The flying Decepticons and Megatron attacked the [[Mini-Con Moonbase]], but were driven off by its automated defenses. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 9|Armada #9}} Cyclonus doubted that the moonbase had any weaknesses at all, but Megatron scoffed at this and fought his way into it using a [[Mini-Con Moonbase breacher|really big drill]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 10|Armada #10}} With help from [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]], he took control of the base's defenses and ordered Cyclonus to renew his assault... only for Leader-1 to betray the Decepticons and reactivate the defenses. After retreating again, Cyclonus decided to pick a fight with a newly arrived Autobot shuttle instead, but this turned out to be a poor decision as the ship heavily outgunned him. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 11|Armada #11}}<br /> <br /> Megatron eventually wrecked the moonbase and captured the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]] who had built it. However, the Mini-Con trio proved capable of overloading anyone who [[powerlinx]]ed with them, so rather than using them himself, Megatron decided that Cyclonus had volunteered to try them out. He was sent to help [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] retrieve some Mini-Cons in [[Alaska]], but shortly after he took out the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]], the Destruction Team indeed overloaded him. Driven mad with power, Cyclonus attacked Thrust in a berserker rage. {{storylink|Fire &amp; Ice}} The Destruction Team's power allowed him to easily defeat his Decepticon comrade, and he even outmatched an entire team of Autobots which arrived shortly afterward. He was eventually knocked out by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], powered up with every ounce of [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]]'s energy. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 13|Armada #13}} The heavily damaged Cyclonus was eventually retrieved and placed in a repair tank in the Decepticon base. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}}<br /> <br /> After recovering, Cyclonus participated in an all-out ssault on the Autobots, who had lost Optimus Prime. The attack went well, up until a [[Galvatron (G1)|powerful stranger]] arrived on the scene and effortlessly took out all the Decepticons other than Megatron. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4}} When the threat of [[Unicron]] reared its ugly head, the Decepticons had no choice but join forces with the Autobots. Cyclonus released the Decepticon-held Mini-Cons back into the wild, then returned to Cybertron to do battle with Unicron. {{storylink|The End}}<br /> <br /> ====''Energon'' comic====<br /> Some time in Cybertron's past, during the war, Cyclonus participated in a battle in which [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] led an attack on an Autobot bunker. He watched the battle from a Decepticon saucer-ship, alongside Megatron, Starscream, Thrust, and Demolishor. {{storylink|No Exit}}<br /> <br /> Ten years after the destruction of Unicron, Cyclonus was spotted in [[Cyber City]], oddly not blowing anything up. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}}<br /> <br /> Later, Snow Cat was located in a [[Abyss|small town]] in the Yukon, under the command of [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]]. He busied himself in sabotaging [[Base Unit 1]] so that the [[Energon]] it'd produce would rerouted to feed Unicron. A band of [[Omnicon]]s stumbled upon his base, but he managed to quickly disable and capture them. Snow Cat then rigged the Omnicons to a [[Spark Rewriter]], a device that would brainwash them into obedient Decepticons. However, the Omnicons learned the value of teamwork thanks to the shared-hallucination-induced disembodied advice-giving head of [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], broke free, and fled out into the open. Snow Cat gave chase, and held them at a disadvantage, seeing as he was better equipped for the snowy environment. But the Omnicons discovered an underground pocket of natural gas, and detonated it at the right moment to knock Snow Cat silly. Snow Cat was then captured and brought to Hot Shot. {{storylink|Omni-Potent}}<br /> <br /> Much later, Snow Cat was one of several Decepticons who attempted to &quot;sneak&quot; into [[Ocean City]] and steal the data for the Autobots' [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme prototype]]. He rushed into the dark hangar, smacked into a scaffolding like a big dumb doof, and was chased out by security. Megatron didn't buy Snow Cat's recounting of how his daring and skill was thwarted by a &quot;sub sea earthquake&quot; for one second. {{storylink|Perspective}}<br /> <br /> {{Unreleased energon comic}}<br /> The Omnicons' experience in fighting Snow Cat was instrumental in defeating a ghostly Starscream, who was invulnerable to conventional attacks. By pooling their minds together, as they had learned in their encounter with Snow Cat, they were able to drain the Energon from Starscream, reverting him to a material being once more. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}}<br /> <br /> ===Panini ''Armada'' comic===<br /> In the early days of the war, Cyclonus, [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], and [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] performed an airstrike on the [[Autobot Command HQ]]. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Counter-Strike!}} As the war with the Autobots continued for millions of years, and Cyclonus was seen fighting alongside Starscream some more. During one of his battles, Cyclonus was forced to retreat after Optimus Prime unleashed the power of his battle station onto the Decepticon forces. {{storylink|First Encounter!}}<br /> <br /> When the Mini-Cons were discovered on [[Earth]], [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] summoned the two fliers and [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] to scour the planet. Shortly after arriving, they got into a battle with the Autobots again, and Cyclonus was rammed out of the sky by a flying [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]]. {{storylink|Friends and Foes!}} The Decepticons later attacked the Autobots to stop them from sending some Mini-Cons back to Cybertron. The Mini-Cons ultimately decided to remain on Earth, though the Decepticons destroyed their space bridge anyway. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 4|No Way Back!}} When Megatron went looking for Mini-Cons on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], he took Cyclonus and Demolishor with him. They didn't do much searching, though, as they soon ran into two Autobots sent to stop them. Cyclonus spent some time strafing [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] until the latter got his [[Rollbar (Armada)|own Mini-Con powerup]] and presumably defeated the crazy copter. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 6|Between Two Worlds!}}<br /> <br /> The Decepticons remained on the Moon and built a new base, from which they prepared to fire missiles at the Autobot base on Earth. When the Autobots' Mini-Cons surrendered in exchange for their friends' lives, Cyclonus was sent to pick them up in a [[solar barge]] and take them to the Moon. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 8|Earthshaker!}} Unfortunately, the Mini-Cons broke out during the trip and cut the cable connecting Cyclonus and the barge. When the Decepticon noticed, he prepared to destroy the pesky Mini-Cons, but was shot by [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]]'s electrical darts. This crashed his guidance systems, and he was sent floating aimlessly through space. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 8|Lost in Space!}} Cyclonus crashed on the Moon's surface, where he was found by the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]]. The three Mini-Cons power-linked with him, taking control of his body in order to use it against the other Decepticons. As he was forced to bombard his headquarters and grapple with his leader, Cyclonus could do naught but plead that it wasn't his fault. Eventually, Starscream used a [[sonic destabiliser]] to disconnect the Destruction Team from him. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Dawn of Destruction!}}<br /> <br /> ===Reader's Digest ''Armada'' novels===<br /> Cyclonus was one of the Decepticons teleported to Earth by the warp gate within the remains of a Mini-Con ship. Despite the radical change in scenery, Cyclonus continued to do battle against the Autobots who had been teleported alongside them. The fighting came to an end, temporarily, thanks to the efforts of [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]]. The Decepticons then retreated to Earth's moon, where they began reinforcing the partial remains of the Mini-Cons' ship as a base of operations. {{storylink|Transformers Armada: The Battle Begins|The Battle Begins}}<br /> <br /> Cyclonus worked furiously on reinforcing the Decepticons' base, as Megatron grew increasingly impatient. While working on the ship’s exterior, he accidentally dropped his calibration device, which nearly hit Megatron on its way down. Cyclonus began blubbering and made excuses for his clumsiness, but Megatron interrupted him and ordered him to dig instead. The calibration device had hit something metallic upon landing on the ground, and Megatron had correctly guessed that a Mini-Con panel was buried underneath. The Mini-Con that emerged from the panel bonded with Megatron, and was named &quot;Leader-1.&quot; Cyclonus was forced to duck for cover when Megatron decided to give leader-1’s weapon mode a test-run, and peppered the scenery with machine-gun fire. Megatron then instructed Cyclonus to adopt an Earth vehicle mode alongside the rest of his inner-circle, Starscream and Demolishor. Cyclonus took on the form of an army helicopter as his disguise.<br /> <br /> The Decepticons then attacked the Autobots' base, until the children, Carlos, Alexis and Rad showed up. Megatron ordered the Decepticons hault their attack so that he could demand the humans hand over their companion Mini-Cons. But close behind were the Autobots, who launched a counter-attack. Though they managed to get a few hits on Optimus, Starscream and Cyclonus were forced to double back to Megatron’s side when the Autobot leader assumed his “Super Optimus Prime” form and swatted the Decepticon fliers out of the air. Cyclonus soon recovered and helped Starscream and Demolishor rush the Autobots. This proved to be a futile tactic, and Optimus swatted Cyclonus out of the sky once more. Outmatched, Megatron called a retreat, but Cyclonus opted to linger behind as his compatriots warped away. Feinting an attack towards the Autobots, he changed his course at the last moment and managed to snatch a couple of Mini-Con panels that the children had uncovered during the fight. As a reward for his grab, Megatron allowed Cyclonus to keep one of the Mini-Cons for himself. Cyclonus named the robot that emerged from his panel &quot;Crumplezone,&quot; and vowed to learn how to use his power to defeat the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers Armada: Race for the Mini-Con Robots|Race for the Mini-Con Robots}}<br /> <br /> ===The Balance of Power===<br /> When [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] entered Decepticon territory in the search for an ancient Mini-Con artifact, Cyclonus accosted them, backed up by hundreds of [[Decepticlone]]s. [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] then discovered the artifact, and soon after he activated it, a portal opened to the Mini-Cons' hiding place: Earth. Cyclonus, Starscream, and Megatron went through the portal to begin the search for the Mini-Cons in earnest on this new world. {{storylink|The Balance of Power}}<br /> {{note|This comic was written as a tie-in to the [[Transformers (PS2)|''Armada'' video game]], but its details differ from the introduction seen in the game itself.

The Autobots were not far behind, and once they reached the hilltop where the signal had originated, he revealed himself, declaring Earth to be Decepticon property before departing, leaving a [[Heavy Unit]] behind to deal with them.<br /> <br /> After the defeat of [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] in [[Antarctica]], the Autobots returned to the Amazon, venturing deeper into the jungle to an ancient temple. There, Cyclonus attacked again, tossing the Autobots all across the temple's surroundings and strafing them in copter mode. Eventually, the Autobots managed to deal him a finishing blow that sent him spiraling out of control in copter mode as his internal components exploded. {{storylink|Transformers (PS2)|Transformers}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Battle Tactics''===<br /> [[File:Battle-Tactics-Cyclonus-Armada.jpg|thumb|400px|This is mine and Cyclonus' Cybercoins!

He was an Epic character who was first available as a reward to 2500 players in the third &quot;Armada: Episode 1&quot; mini events, and could be recruited by collecting 650 units of Cybermetal, 350 units of Transmetal, 150 exclusive cores, and 50 cores of this character.<br /> {{storylink|Transformers: Battle Tactics}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Armada===<br /> [[File:Armada Cyclonus toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Craaaaaaazy air-taxi!]]<br /> *'''Cyclonus with Mini-Con Crumplezone''' (Deluxe, 2002/2003)<br /> **''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-04'''<br /> **''Accessories'': Missile, &quot;gatling&quot; missile, rotor blade<br /> <br /> : Cyclonus transforms into a Cybertronian flat-nosed helicopter coloured in light blue and light grey with dark blue and gold accents.

Attaching a compatible geared Mini-Con to the square frame on the underside of his cockpit (any member of the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]], the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]], or [[Refute (Armada)|Refute]]) allows the gear system to activate ''their'' gear-wheel gimmicks as well by pulling the trigger, and attaching Mini-Cons to the [[Powerlinx]] [[5mm post|plug]]s on either of his arms/wing-mounted weapon pods launches a spring-loaded missile. In [[robot mode]], attaching a Mini-Con to the plugs on either side of his legs will make a spring-loaded (non-firing) cannon pop up from his shins. His tailfin piece with the booster can be detached and slided into his right hand sculpted twin blasters to make hand blaster. Additionally, his rotor blade is detachable and can be mounted onto any of his Powerlinx plugs, although this will not activate any gimmicks.<br /> <br /> : His Mini-Con [[Crumplezone (Armada)#Armada|Crumplezone]] can also be transformed into a long-nosed &quot;cockpit&quot; with under-slung cannon that can attach to the front end of Cyclonus (once you raise his normal canopy up).

I'm surprised I exist too.]]<br /> '''Buzzsaw''' is not exactly right in the head. After all, he's one of the few brave or insane enough to have remained on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] during the [[Unicron Singularity]] crisis. Something of an &quot;old school&quot; Decepticon, and a little thick, his one driving goal is to destroy as many [[Autobot]]s as possible. He's not in it for the fame or glory... he just likes killing Autobots, that's all.<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Toy bio===<br /> Buzzsaw was a dangerous rogue from the old guard of the Decepticons. Despite the evacuation of Cybertron during the black hole crisis, Buzzsaw remained on the planet, hoarding as much energon for himself as possible in anticipation of the return of the Autobots, who he could destroy. He practiced his marksmanship by blowing the tops off of old [[energon tower|Energon Tower]]s. {{storylink|#Toys|''Cybertron'' Buzzsaw toy bio}}<br /> <br /> ===''Timelines''===<br /> {{note|See [[#Notes|the Notes section below]] about his cartoon &quot;appearance&quot;.}}<br /> <br /> Buzzsaw was assigned to the ''[[Upstart]]'' by [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]], operating under [[Brushguard]]'s command while they searched the galaxy for more [[Cyber Planet Key]]s. Their search took them to [[Combatron (planet)|Combatron]], a world devastated by conflict between more than a half-dozen factions. The factions had beaten themselves into extinction nearly 350 megacycles ago, but some of their hardware still existed. The Decepticons uncovered a massive bunker heavily guarded by corpses, which spoke to the possible riches inside. After [[Runamuck (Cybertron)|Runamuck]] tore the doors open, that estimation proved to be correct. Behind the door was a virtual treasure trove of death—weapons and armaments of all possible varieties, just ripe for the taking. Runamuck found a pair of still operational [[Mini-Con]] panels and shared his find with Buzzsaw. His new partner, [[Heavy Barrel (GF)|Heavy Barrel]], cheerfully provided some more firepower for Buzzsaw's already impressive arsenal. <br /> <br /> When they finally encountered the Autobots, the 'Cons were backed by an army of newly minted [[Decepticlone]]s. Buzzsaw and Heavy Barrel spent time trading Mini-Con-enhanced firepower with [[Checkpoint (Energon)|Checkpoint]]. Checkpoint's Mini-Con burnt out first, and Buzzsaw and [[Hardtop (Cybertron)|Hardtop]] managed to get the drop on him. Capturing most of the Autobots, the Decepticons were on the verge of victory before some local Mini-Cons stole their shuttle...and the missing Autobot [[Armorhide (Cybertron)|Armorhide]] crashed ''their'' shuttle straight down on the Decepticon position. Buzzsaw and the other Decepticons were left behind on Combatron for three weeks waiting for pick-up...with nothing but Hardtop's supply of comic books to keep them entertained. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}<br /> <br /> Eventually, Buzzsaw and the others were rescued, and they ended up in the employ of the space pirate [[Cannonball (Cybertron)|Cannonball]]. While on the bridge crew of the ''[[Kalis' Lament (Cybertron)|Kalis' Lament]]'', Buzzsaw heard the report from one of their probes that the Autobot shuttle ''[[Star Arrow]]'' had crashed on [[Sandokan]] with a valuable Force Chip in the crew's possession. Buzzsaw laughed out loud when his captain declared Sandokan a &quot;cursed&quot; planet, but his laughter turned to wheezes as Cannonball's vise-like claw closed around his throat. Instead of braving Sandokan themselves, the pirates sent in the mercenary [[Astrotrain (Cybertron)|Astrotrain]] to soften up the resistance for them. Buzzsaw joined his captain on a short-range shuttle when they followed up on Astrotrain's initial strike, engaging the monstrous entity known as [[Synthos]], who had made Sandokan his home. Their fight against Synthos went well, but they made the mistake of leaving the Autobots unattended for too long...along with their shuttle. Buzzsaw and the others were stranded when the Autobots stole their ship (''again''), and they had to wait for the ''Kalis' Lament'' to come pick them up. Still, they did manage to steal Synthos's power source, the [[Dark Heart of Sandokan]], so the trip wasn't a total loss. {{storylink|The Dark Heart of Sandokan}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Cybertron===<br /> [[Image:Cybertron Buzzsaw toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|&quot;I'm very discreet, I have no code of ethics.

<p>MightyMonarch: /* Toys */</p> <hr /> <div>{{factions|decepticon}}<br /> {{disambig3|Buzzsaw}}<br /> :''Buzzsaw is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''<br /> <br /> [[Image:CYB buzzsaw boxart.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Yeah... I'm surprised I exist too.]]<br /> '''Buzzsaw''' is not exactly right in the head. After all, he's one of the few brave or insane enough to have remained on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] during the [[Unicron Singularity]] crisis. Something of an &quot;old school&quot; Decepticon, and a little thick, his one driving goal is to destroy as many [[Autobot]]s as possible. He's not in it for the fame or glory... he just likes killing Autobots, that's all.<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Toy bio===<br /> Buzzsaw was a dangerous rogue from the old guard of the Decepticons. Despite the evacuation of Cybertron during the black hole crisis, Buzzsaw remained on the planet, hoarding as much energon for himself as possible in anticipation of the return of the Autobots, who he could destroy. He practiced his marksmanship by blowing the tops off of old [[energon tower|Energon Tower]]s. {{storylink|#Toys|''Cybertron'' Buzzsaw toy bio}}<br /> <br /> ===''Timelines''===<br /> {{note|See [[#Notes|the Notes section below]] about his cartoon &quot;appearance&quot;.}}<br /> <br /> Buzzsaw was assigned to the ''[[Upstart]]'' by [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]], operating under [[Brushguard]]'s command while they searched the galaxy for more [[Cyber Planet Key]]s. Their search took them to [[Combatron (planet)|Combatron]], a world devastated by conflict between more than a half-dozen factions. The factions had beaten themselves into extinction nearly 350 megacycles ago, but some of their hardware still existed. The Decepticons uncovered a massive bunker heavily guarded by corpses, which spoke to the possible riches inside. After [[Runamuck (Cybertron)|Runamuck]] tore the doors open, that estimation proved to be correct. Behind the door was a virtual treasure trove of death—weapons and armaments of all possible varieties, just ripe for the taking. Runamuck found a pair of still operational [[Mini-Con]] panels and shared his find with Buzzsaw. His new partner, [[Heavy Barrel (GF)|Heavy Barrel]], cheerfully provided some more firepower for Buzzsaw's already impressive arsenal. <br /> <br /> When they finally encountered the Autobots, the 'Cons were backed by an army of newly minted [[Decepticlone]]s. Buzzsaw and Heavy Barrel spent time trading Mini-Con-enhanced firepower with [[Checkpoint (Energon)|Checkpoint]]. Checkpoint's Mini-Con burnt out first, and Buzzsaw and [[Hardtop (Cybertron)|Hardtop]] managed to get the drop on him. Capturing most of the Autobots, the Decepticons were on the verge of victory before some local Mini-Cons stole their shuttle...and the missing Autobot [[Armorhide (Cybertron)|Armorhide]] crashed ''their'' shuttle straight down on the Decepticon position. Buzzsaw and the other Decepticons were left behind on Combatron for three weeks waiting for pick-up...with nothing but Hardtop's supply of comic books to keep them entertained. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}<br /> <br /> Eventually, Buzzsaw and the others were rescued, and they ended up in the employ of the space pirate [[Cannonball (Cybertron)|Cannonball]]. While on the bridge crew of the ''[[Kalis' Lament (Cybertron)|Kalis' Lament]]'', Buzzsaw heard the report from one of their probes that the Autobot shuttle ''[[Star Arrow]]'' had crashed on [[Sandokan]] with a valuable Force Chip in the crew's possession. Buzzsaw laughed out loud when his captain declared Sandokan a &quot;cursed&quot; planet, but his laughter turned to wheezes as Cannonball's vise-like claw closed around his throat. Instead of braving Sandokan themselves, the pirates sent in the mercenary [[Astrotrain (Cybertron)|Astrotrain]] to soften up the resistance for them. Buzzsaw joined his captain on a short-range shuttle when they followed up on Astrotrain's initial strike, engaging the monstrous entity known as [[Synthos]], who had made Sandokan his home. Their fight against Synthos went well, but they made the mistake of leaving the Autobots unattended for too long...along with their shuttle. Buzzsaw and the others were stranded when the Autobots stole their ship (''again''), and they had to wait for the ''Kalis' Lament'' to come pick them up. Still, they did manage to steal Synthos's power source, the [[Dark Heart of Sandokan]], so the trip wasn't a total loss. {{storylink|The Dark Heart of Sandokan}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Cybertron===<br /> [[Image:Cybertron Buzzsaw toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|&quot;I'm very discreet, I have no code of ethics.

I'd like to add one photo for some of the spanish cast of BW (some have them available,others are nigh impossible to find or show their faces even here in Spain). I saw how to add the text code and such but I cannot find for the life of me how to upload files into the wiki.
