The independent group KFC Toys has just revealed their next project via their Weibo page, which will be “Tempest” an unofficial Cyclonus figure. We have several pictures of the new project already as well as a translation of some details:
“Passed the test, began mass production. Size Class V, accessories: Target Warrior * 1; weapons * 2; the subsequent two and three boxes of the new composition Chug & Thug series, starting three will. Stay tuned!”No pricing information is up yet, but with the figure being roughly voyager sized we can start to speculate on pricing. Keep it locked here on TFW as we update you with any more details.
Check out the new project after the jump!

That… Might work. Ideally a head taller would be better, but that's a lot closer than the Generations toy.
Yeah, I actually have the CW one. I hate it, though.
TFXProtector
I don't have it anymore, but I can tell you the CW one is the better made of the two. He's taller, too.
Maximus Danz
Depends on how tall you think cyclonus should be, The classics one is a hair shorter than siege soundwave

Sorry to necro this thread, but can anyone post a picture of Tempest with any of the Siege Deceptions? I kind of want a CHUG Cyclonus, but the Generations one is too small and I'm just not a fan of the CW version.

It is now going for $30 shipped MISB from reputable sellers on Ebay. To think that US shops were selling this for $75 + shipping.

I just got this guy for 30$ brand new at a local collectibles shop here and man is he great! He's not crazy solid on all his joints but that's what floor polish is for. His transformation is pretty ingenious and I love how accurate to the show he is! He looks pretty good next to titans return galvatron. Like a real henchman haha. I gotta get the takara titans return scourge to go with them now cause they're great!

I think the colors in this are kind of off in a lot of pics, he's like a chameleon haha, thinking about getting him, Cyclonus is my favorite and as far as G1 goes this guy is great looking.

Yeah I'm really only want nightstick as well… He looks like a pretty awesome little figure

A little late to the game here, but I just got Tempest today from The Chosen Prime for $30. Not really too bad of a figure. No real bad quality issues. I just wish he was a teensie bit taller. Nightstick on his own is a nice little bot with his ball jointed head and ankles. For $30 I'm pretty impressed. Well maybe not impressed, but it was a pretty good price for an OK toy.

Chimungmung has it for $35
if anyone is interested, I'll buy Nightstick for $10
BulletSponge
I'd say $35 is still too much for this one unfortunately.

I didn't realize it was simplified. What details were removed?
unicronic
Well Chimungmung have this guy on sale for $35. Might spring for him at that rate.
TFXProtector
Oh, it's definitely not the strongest hold, no.
DoubleClouder
Really, my just kinda sits in there and if a breeze comes by, it just falls out.
TFXProtector
My Tempest can hold the Targetmaster.

Got my figure from Captured Prey today. For $40 it's not bad. The design of the targetmaster gun being unusable in robot mode is kind of a pain, also the toes on my are really loose. Overral not bad. I own the original Jizai toys version and it's basically an up sized/simplified version of that. My Jizai toys suffered from super loose joints, so the KFC one is a nice improvement in that departs, sans toes. If the toe issues were fixed, I would give it a high recommendation, but it's really hard to stand. In the end a descent release. Recommended if you really like the animation model of Cyclonus.

Nope. Will ruin the figure. The fists are attached to the forearm by a swiveling arm and drilling would cut into that arm and take the hand clean off.

If I understand the problem…
Drill bit. Fixed.

damn. that's tempting.
