Description
Naturally a Cyclonus had to follow up Galvatron so here he is.Dunno if I'll keep to SV-dynamics but hey if I did (Lookin' at you Chicken for suggesting it), imagine no one believing he and Starscream are cousins (probably second cousins, but still, when like 90% of your family is dead in the war that bit doesn't matter too much) though it also lead to the amusing idea of:
"I miss the days when you were smaller than me"
"What all five of them?"
"I STILL RANK HIGHER THAN YOU!"
Cyclonus goes long periods of time without talking, but when he does it's a deep rumble of a voice which you'll know when you hear it.
Is responsible for rescuing Galvatron from the lab he was created in. A feat he didn't manage without getting some plating scorched. Given the sheer terrified reaction he got from Galvatron he found it better to keep the existence of his new friend a secret.
Is a very, very, VERY, VERY loyal Decepticon.
As such the discovery of Galvatron and Megatrons less-than-decent behaviour and standards regarding this clone really threw him for loop and made him question his entire existence and purpose, sowing seeds of doubt.
His honor and skill are very dear to him. He vows never to harm a unarmed foe unless there's enough reason to (AKA you know you pissed him off if he does that) and hardly denies a request from his superiors.
Galvatron follows him most places so he has to be careful who he's seen by and where he is, don't know when he might have to shove the purple fella into a cave or ditch to hide him.
Galvatron once told him to "Here hold Raf", despite the human insisting it was okay Cyclonus promptly froze out of pure fear. The human is so tiny, too tiny, oh my god help what if I crush him?
His loyalty made it veeeery hard for him to tolerate the notion that they needed the Autobots help and he spent most of the time being antagonistic and ignoring them. He was partially glad he was too big to fit in their base so he didn't have to put up with them.
Has kicked Wheeljack flying a few times. That'd teach him to make remarks about Galvatron it didn't.
What? Smiling whenever he looks at the purple clone? Hahahaha nooooo... no... maybe
Transforms into a jet, it's big enough for the likes of Megatron and Galvatron to stand on (but not ride in) but still makes for good/decent fortified transport. Can fit all of the human cast in his cockpit though.
Likes to glare in through the Autobot base window just to remind them of where they stand if he feels any of them are getting to close to considering him or Galvatron a friend.
Can wiggle his wings to emote but only when relaxed.
Begrudgingly respects Ultra Magnus.

Galvatron: CYCLONUS!I need you and your alt mode!
Cyclonus: Yes Sir.
Galvatron: You need to transform and take me to the store to pick up some chocolate ice cream.
Cyclonus: What?
Galvatron: I tried some and it was delicious! OBEY MY COMMAND!!!
Cyclonus: I hate my job.

Cyclonus doesn't hate his job, it's all good as long as he's hanging out with Galvatron
Besides TFP Galvatron has the same flying alt mode as Megatron, he'd probably go off to get some himself and Cyclonus would intercept him and tell him "no"
Galvs would pout but go back home.
It'd help to read both their bio's fully before commenting not being rude but you've missed their personalities quite a bit there.

I know, I'm just someone who gets pretty salty about the fandom and how it instantly decides to peg Galvatron as being mindlessly aggressive and having zero empathy or care about others. Especially as that's not true.
So sorry for sounding aggressive, he's just my favourite character and I vehemently despise the "rar i anger" depiction of Galvatron.

My favorite version of Galvatron is the IDW one where he wasn’t like that. But In Generation 1 show he did shoot at Sweeps for his own amusement and stated that when the Sweep thought he was being punished.
The anger things was still true for the Gen 1 comic as seen with his fights with Ultra Magnus.

I hate IDW in particular because Galvatron had an interesting beginning but they stripped his character away to make him a shitty Megatron 2.0 when they realised they couldn't use him as the villain anymore. IDW Galvatron is literally a disposable villain. He existed solely to develop other characters. The reveal of Arcee being his twin an obvious one as that only developed Arcee's character and affected Galvatron in no way whatsoever, even then it was a pity-party so everyone could be "Oh, poor Arcee".
IDW Galvatron is awful and it's so obvious they never cared about his character.
In G1 he did attack his own troops but they literally had an ENTIRE EPISODE where they stated "Oh yeah he has BRAIN DAMAGE and attacks you because he's having a severe mental breakdown" But y'know that get's ignored and also the fact that in G1 he actually showed compassion/concern towards his troops on more than one occasion whereas Megatron didn't throughout season one and two.
Yet who gets portrayed as the mindlessly violent one

The brain damage is why he’s portrayed as crazy in the first place. As well as bringing up the fact he built a gun and started to shoot the place up. Once again it’s hard to argue he showed any real compassion because he beat up his own men for his amusement.
The closest would be him praising 6 shot, but that was because he was the strongest. Something he did as Megatron he would praise a someone that pleased him.
Megatron only really beat up Starscream someone who flat out told him he wanted to overthrow him. In addition shot him a couple of times.

Yeah but Torkulon was also showed to be wildly inefficient and bad at helping him, you'd want to escape too if you were under those conditions.
Here's a Gif od Galvatron showing compassion galvatronsthighs.tumblr.com/po… he actually stopped to go help him despite the fact that if he stopped running he risked dying (as they did not know it was non-fatal) so there's actual evidence of him showing care/compassion/a desire to help.
For someone who also gets portrayed as "mindlessly aggressive" by the fandom you'd think he'd murder anyone who tried to overthrow him right?
Nope!
When Cyclonus overthrew him Galvatron was smart enough to know Cyclonus DIDN'T overthrow him and it was actually Starscream's ghost forcing Cyclonus to do things against his will and AS SUCH he gave a non-fatal shot to Cyclonus to force the ghost out of him AND THEN ordered Cyclonus to be repaired and cared for IMMEDIATELY.
Doesn't scream someone who doesn't care to me.
The closest Megatron ever got was when it was IMPLIED he complimented Shockwave a lot.
Megatron was also verbally aggressive, abusive and dismissive of his troops, referring to them as "disposable" in front of them.
He also threw around his own troops as well so just because he doesn't shoot at them as much on screen it's definitely implied he's liberal with physical punishment to all of them not just Starscream.
AND it can also be argued that the fact he never actually killed Starscream was because he enjoyed having his "toy" to beat and attack whenever he felt like it.

You mean when Galvatron was furious and wanting get to know why, ONLY FOR Starscream to say it was him. It not like he hesitated and it’s Octane who said it was him, nope Galvatron just fired at him.
The fact it didn’t kill him means nothing as in the cartoon the transformers were basically indestructible. They survived worst injury in the show the the wounds that killed others in the movie. Such as being ripped apart “all they need is a repair.” Vs movie “I got shot in the shoulder I’m dead.”

He already had an idea before he even got there after all Galvatron IS smart and knows Cyclonus is loyal and trustworthy so he knew something beforehand.
I mean not only did he build a gun out of minimal parts he was savvy enough to realise Rodimus had enough self-confidence issues that he could take advantage of them with a fake weapon.
He knew Octane blabbing was just something he probably waited for, for his own amusement.
Yet it's implied he killed Starscream again when he got his new body back. So he's more than happy to kill traitors.

You pulled this one off so well! Even got more details going on than Galvatron, so it's really neat to see you taking on these challenges! He turned out super cool and once again got a nice balance of G1 and TFP features!

I'm still super glad to have made him and super proud that you think he really fit into the style well!
