Re: BATTLE IN SPACE Cyclonus & Rodimus

In alt mode only, I think the BIS Rodimus looks poor with the protector set. The difference in colours, the blue windows and the grey tires of BIS Rodimus just looks bad.

With that said, I think BIS Rodimus looks fantastic with the protector armour in robot mode! The different red variations plus gold chrome spoilers really make the character stand out. To me, it doesn't look out of place at all. The colours work and I love it! If you're like me and you plan on displaying it in robot mode only, the BIS Rodimus is a great alternative!





Sigh.. my Cyclonus on the other hand is flawed. For display purposes, cyclonus looks perfect in robot and alt modes. But soon as you being transforming, the hinge on the right arm for the black swing will pop out. It's happening because they used the wrong screw (a larger one). The larger screw causes the black plastic to bulge out so the swing arm won't fit securely. Someone else on TFW2005 reported the same issue.

Re: BATTLE IN SPACE Cyclonus & Rodimus

I want to get one of these sets, I already have the challenge at cybertron set and want another cyclonus...for "his armada"...I have 2 Universe cyclonii and I am getting 5 scourges for scourge and his sweeps and 1 MOC. The extra hot rod would be good too.

Transformers Battle in Space Cyclonus vs Rodimus

Hey guys this is probably a stupid question, but Im just wondering if we are getting Transformers Battle in Space Cyclonus vs Rodimus Set at retail?

The reason why Im asking is because I never got a classics Rodimus figure yet and the animated one doesnt catch my interest.

Any info on this would be great guys thanks.

It is Sold at Target In the U.S so it will most likely be released in Zellers as most Target sets do.

I hope ... not like I wont shell out the extra if I have to I am rather new to collecting myself and missed out on the Classics/Universe line so I am glad I might get the cance to grab one at retail.
