A simple repaint using the HFTD Terradive mold. Removed the head and replaced it with the Universe Cyclonus head. Some alterations were made to accommodate the head in altmode. Painted in purple, red, and gun metal metallics, and panel lined. Nightstick was painted now to look like "nightstick".
Rest of the gallery can be seen on my Facebook page:

The Nightstick looks to be the one that came with Universe Cyclonus.

Never occurred to me that Terradive could be a Cyclonus

I like the paint but the head feels out of place somehow.

Overall great job though

I never thought of using Terradive as Cyclonus but now that I see the result it's just too obvious. Excellent work, bud! :)

I could really go for a Snare or Misfire repaint, seeing the targetmaster on this mold. Nicely done especially the metallic paintwork, but why would WFC Cyclonus turn into an earth jet, when he's already a cybertronian aircraft? Wouldn't this be better described as "Earth-Mode Cyclonus"?

It's really good, Nightstick looks awesome, jet mode is awesome-sauce, I love the shiny paint...

...but, can the nosecone go closer to his chest? Because it looks like he can give G1 Shattershot a run for his money!!! :p ;) :rofl:
(the 2nd pic is what made me do a double take)

Thanks, the nosecone doesn't get any closer to the chest, the reason it looks "awkward" is the flaps on the side should be flipped in, I guess I did it that way :)

Thanks for the spare cyclonus figure. They may be going your way, need the extra $$$, want to start on my basement and work room.

I'm know to this site and new to customizing TFs, but not new to customizing, and I have to say that is an awesome custom. I may have to steal your idea...lol.

what paint did you use for the metallic purple? and do you recommend acrylics or enamels for painting TFs
