Flame Toys has revealed official images of its new Kuro Kara Kuri Cyclonus model kit, a non-transformable figure celebrating the Decepticon's 40th anniversary. With a design based on IDW Publishing comics, this version adopts a samurai aesthetic that visually links it to its commander, Galvatron. It stands just over 20 centimeters tall, and its die-cast construction gives it notable weight and solidity.
Die-cast and articulation for the IDW warrior 🗡️
The Kuro Kara Kuri Cyclonus model kit uses die-cast parts in key areas, giving it a sense of durability and a low center of gravity that improves its stability on the shelf. The figure features multiple points of articulation, allowing for dynamic poses without compromising the character's sleek profile. The design includes samurai armor details, such as asymmetrical shoulder pads and a large sword, all precisely molded to reflect the comic art without the need for additional paint.
Cyclonus: now with more steel and fewer transformations 🤖
Flame Toys has decided that Cyclonus deserved a break from folding up like origami. This samurai version comes with all the metal you could want, but forget about converting it into a ship: here the chassis is pure decoration. That said, if we had to choose between a Cyclonus that transforms into a plane that barely holds together or one that stays still and weighs like a wrecking ball, the answer seems clear. At least this one won't fall apart when you turn it over.
