A 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:
- Motormaster (and Menasor)
- Rippersnapper
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!
Games
Transformers: Devastation
Menasor's Cyclone Gun can be unlocked for use. 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. Transformers: Devastation
