Courtesy of TFW boards member Minernick and Koreannet, we have new in-package images of some upcoming Studio Series Transformers figures, namely Studio Series Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Jolt, Dark of the Moon Deluxe Bumblebee, and Transformers The Movie Voyager Sweep.
We previously got a look at Jolt the other day, and now we get to see his packaging. This is our very first look at the Sweep however, although from what we can tell it appears that the only real difference from Scourge is swapped hand molds.
We still have no release details for these, but while we wait for the official reveals you can check out the images after the break and let us know your impressions on the boards.
Nevermore
My fanon is that Cyclonus used to be Life Spark, a rogue Decepticon shapeshifter who murdered Bombshell in 2001 and took his place, and was then killed in the battle of Autobot City. As Cyclonus, he murdered Armada offscreen and had Unicron reformat his remains into another Sweep.

My fanon is that Skywarp became Armada but Galvatron went back in time and killed Skywarp during Target: 2006 which caused Armada to cease to exist when Galvatron returned to his own time, and also caused a parallel timeline to be created.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Cyclonus sister was a copy of him with a different coloring… I don't even think they the a close up of her face either…

Dirgeclonus! I don't remember that one, which episode? One of the Five faces maybe? I love Dirge (my favourite conehead, maybe favourite seeker even and my first official transformer toy) and Cyclonus is a favourite too… Yeah I'd buy that miscolored repaint!

I still wish they'd make an Armada figure that's either a variant of Cyclonus's colors (toy colors and the "eye shadow" he had sometimes) or a new trolling scheme that's a combo of Skywarp and Bombshell.

Forgot about that, but I was thinking of the scene after that where they board their new ship and head to Cybertron. There is Cyclonus followed by four sweeps. No sign of Armada.
…they were really inconsistent about this weren't they?

In the scene where Cyclonus and "Armada" transform there is Scourge and 4 Sweeps.
Trooper028
that’s why I’m unsure about how many sweeps to buy. They started as two, but then became three. But would they add Armada who was replaced with another sweep in the very next scene?

I'd now like Decepticon Armada as a future Studio Series toy, remolded from Kingdom Cyclonus.

It's not just you. There's a shouting down of not even dissident voices, but different ones. When enough of that happens, then they become dissident voices and they're met with even more animosity.
It doesn't help that posts and threads are edited and usually only one side gets their posts left up and it's not the one of the critic.
There are too many cliques here, too many "heroes" with fanbases that give the staff pause about stepping on their precious toes (because clicks equal cash) and the opposing side a target on their back and the other group willing to dogpile on it.
That said, the negativity does get out of hand. People hate Rodimus and Galvatron. Okay, say your piece and go. Don't stick around going over the same issues again and again, driving people nuts. We get it, Galvatron is a stumpy mess in your eyes, people of negativity… We got it with your first post, we don't need 20 more.
But, negativity, in general… Should be allowed to be voiced within reason (same for positivity). Shouting down others gains you nothing but self-importance and none of us are more important than the other. The moment we start thinking that we are, we've just become that person who's helping to foster the world's situations we're in right now.
Loyalty is okay, to a point, but remember what you're being loyal to. A toy company and a social media connection/service… When you could be true to your fellow man.

I am a member on a site that has gone full "you're either with us or against us" and on one that's gone all in on the salt. Neither is good. Did you real my whole post or just the first line?

But they're not actually being positive. They think they are, but it's militant policing of other people's thoughts masquerading as positivity. It is itself negative, and all the more insufferable because the hostility is directed at fellow posters rather than at objects (ie toys). I guess you disagree, but I think the former is much worse.

Well, at least we’re paying almost double for the pleasure!
but, hey, they come in a nice box….

Holy hell that's quite a wall now that I see it outside the editor, sorry for the long read
