Cyclone gun

Cyclone! Joker!

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

• Motormaster (Stunticon, 1986)
  • Accessories: ionizer sword, cyclone gun, roller car/Menasor's chestpiece, Menasor's head, Menasor's hands, Menasor's feet, blast deflector

Motormaster includes his long purple cyclone gun holdable both in robot and combiner mode. It was also available in a Menasor giftset and reissued as part of the European/Australian-exclusive Classics toyline.

Generation 2

• Motormaster (Stunticon)

Motormaster was planned to be released as part of the Generation 2 toyline, but was ultimately cancelled. His cyclone gun would presumably have been redecoed along with him.

Your bargaining posture is highly dubious. Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Notes

• Though not specifically identified in his bio, Springer's laser is said to produce "giant wind tunnels."
