Fiction

Animated continuity

Armada

Voice actor: Don Brown (US) ??? (Japan)

Cyclonus is a wild soldier under Megatron's rank. He is closely partnered with his comrade Demolishor, whom he sometimes shares a love/hate relationship with. He is known for having a maniacal personality and will often fire at targets frantically, risking damage to his own teammates. He has a quirky and sarcastic personality, often leading to harsh punishment by his commander. Cyclonus served Megatron throughout the Unicron Battles, and was a key player in the united Armada against the chaos-bringer. His alternator form is a helicopter, and he often took pleasure in tormenting the three Armada kids. He joined the Autobot unit after the demise of Megatron with reservations.

Energon

Voice actor: Don Brown (US) ??? (Japan) Cyclonus returned in the Energon story as the guardian of the Cybertron City based on the moon. Although he served his purpose, he was yearning for the days of combat. Not long after the attacks on Mars and Asteroid City, the moon would be attacked too. Cyclonus would hold up a small resistance before he was presumed destroyed. As Demolishor prepared for more Terrorcon assaults on Earth, Cyclonus surfaced, having tucked tail and ran, abandoning the Cybertron City on the moon to be looted of its Energon. Cyclonus assisted Demolishor and the Autobots until Tidal Wave showed up weilding the Megatron Sword granted by Alpha-Q. Believing that it was proof of Megatron, Cyclonus abandoned the Autobots and Demolishor, joining Alpha-Q.

Cyclonus would once again serve Megatron when the commander was revived within Unicron for some time before sustaining damages from an Autobot assault while retreating. Having failed to topple the Energon towers, Cyclonus returned injured to his commander, begging for repairs. In a rage, Megatron bound Cyclonus to the wall using Unicron's internal tentacles as punishment. Cyclonus was then fused with Unicron's essense in a painful manner and upgraded into Snowcat.

The Energon Snow Cat mold was redecoed and released as an exclusive to Kay-Bee stores in 2005 along with a redeco of Energon Downshift. However, at the time Kay-Bee was undergoing financial troubles, closing numerous stores across the United States, and it appears that the two toys did not make it to a great many of the stores that remained open. Many did make their way to Toy Liquidator outlets, a sub-company within Kay-Bee.
