Challenge at Cybertron set.

Folks got a quick question I'm hoping someone can answer. Is there a difference between the Cyclonus figure in that set and the single release Cyclonus figure?

I ask because both Rodimus and Galvatron are visibly different, but Cyclonus looks like a copy of the Henkei version.

Any help is appreciated.

Challenge at Cybertron Cyclonus is a completely different deco from either previous release of the mold.

Re: Challenge at Cybertron set.

The one in the set aims to match the on screen colours where as the original release of the toy homaged the G1 toy colours.

The Henkei one is much brighter as well....almost pink in comparison...

Re: Challenge at Cybertron set.

I have all three Cycloni

The one in this set is the best in terms of his G1-look. Very different scheme when compared to the other two releases.

And yeah, the Takara version does look quite pink lol.

Yeah like flower petals from 'pot pourri' or what could perhaps be described as 'fushia'...I mean the Henkei is cool, but the Challenge deco is by far the best.
