Cyclone! Joker!

A cyclone rifle or cyclone gun is a weapon that fires gale-force wind clocked upwards around 400 mph or more. To put that into proper perspective, an F-5 category tornado has the wind speed of 261-to-318 mph. The results are devastating.

Known users include:

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

During their first battle on Earth, Menasor blasted Superion with a torrent of air from his cyclone gun that sent the Autobot, already weakened by Circuit Breaker, crashing to the ground. Heavy Traffic!

Toys

The Transformers

I dropped my weapons accidentaly and I can't reach them.
Motormaster includes his long purple cyclone rifle holdable both in robot and combiner mode.

Notes

  • Though not specifically identified in his bio, Springer's laser is said to produce "giant wind tunnels."
  • Menasor's Cyclone Rifle can be unlocked for use in Transformers: Devastation. Instead of generating Gale-force wind however, it instead fires large but slow-moving electrostatic spheres that home in on targets. The Weapon's function remains the same regardless of who is equipped with it, although Motormaster does not use the weapon himself, only while combined as Menasor.
