| The name or term "Cyclonus" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Cyclonus (disambiguation). |
- Cyclonus is a Decepticon from the Aligned continuity family.
Cyclonus is, on the face of it an extremely loyal and efficient air warrior in the Decepticon army. His chilling voice speaks of the destruction they will rain down on their enemies and delights in this cruelty.
However, his career is not exactly as glorious as his endless boasts suggest. In the past, he's turned and ran with his tailfins between his legs when things got out of his control. And lately he's taken mostly to subterfuge, manipulation and working through patsies. But he still knows how to throw down and now that he's gained the ability to combine with fellow Decepticons Cyberwarp, Skyjack, Treadshock and Riotgear to form Galvatronus, he's got the muscle to back up his mouth.

- Voice actor: Liam O'Brien (English)
While the Decepticons were training on the streets of Iacon, they received a message issuing a challenge from Cyclonus. Cyclonus met a small group of Decepticons atop a building, announcing he was going to "bring them back to reality". They proceeded to battle until Cyclonus was soundly defeated and agreed to join the Decepticon cause.
He was subsequently part of the mission in which the Decepticons kidnapped Swoop for their Dark Energon experiments. As the Autobots tried to retrieve their friend, Cyclonus confronted them. Standing behind a force field, he unleashed his "minions"—some swarms and a few turrets—to attack the Autobots. When those fell and his force field was disabled, Cyclonus was reduced to a cowardly wreck, promising to open the door to the laboratory if they didn't hurt him. Once the Autobots had retrieved Swoop, Cyclonus revealed he'd rigged the lab to blow and sped off in his jet mode, activating force fields to keep the Autobots from following him.

Toys
Robots in Disguise (2015)
- Cyclonus (Legion Class, 2017)
- Part of the twelfth wave of Robots in Disguise Legion class toys, Cyclonus transforms from robot to Cybertronian starfighter in a few simple steps.
- He shares engineering with Legion class Windblade and Starscream, but is an entirely new mold.
- Galvatronus (Team Combiner, 2017)
- Accessories: Rifle
- Team Combiner Cyclonus is a Deluxe-scaled toy that transforms from robot to Cybertronian starfighter and back. The large rifle the set comes with can be mounted on top of Cyclonus's starfighter mode, but his robot mode has no way of holding it.
- He can also transform into the torso of Galvatronus. His limb-ports use a universal connector joint shared by other Team Combiners and the Crash Combiners, which can lead to some very interesting combinations.
- This version of Cyclonus was available only as part of the Galvatronus box set, with his subordiantes Cyberwarp, Riotgear, Treadshock and Skyjack.
Notes
- Cyclonus's War for Cybertron design was created by illustrator David White.
