Cyclone

Mini-Cons come in various forms, and the spheroid Cyclones are a particularly dangerous bunch. Each one transforms into a free-rolling wrecking ball with a hidden blaster-cannon, but their "robot" modes can be every bit as dangerous. Somewhat feral and absolutely capricious in personality, they are known for being absolute terrors when angry or threatened. They have simple wants, and are easily entertained. Many entertain themselves with mean-spirited pranks or just straight-up attack each other out of pure boredom.

Despite their often-unreliable nature, partnerships with larger Cybertronians are not unheard of. Particularly destructive warriors can impress them into joining up just for the fun of bashing stuff, though others just kind of follow orders to the best of their limited ability because... well, what else is there to do?

So far, most of the Cyclones have found favor in the Decepticons (no big shocker there), but at least one has sided with the Autobots.

Notes

• Unaligned Mini-Cons that have seemingly limited vocal abilities? Hmm...
• Although Undertone's toy is a Cyclone, he is a Buzzsaw in the cartoon.
• Crazybolt's toy can only deploy Cyclones; however, his partner Slicedice is a Torpedo.
