Cyclonus is a major character in Transformers Loud, introduced in Season 2, where he and his partner Scourge became two of the main antagonists of the series. He and Scourge are top-ranking Destron officers - Cyclonus himself being a high-ranking member of the Seeker Air Force - that came to Earth and took command of the Destrons stationed there to recover Omega Supreme and take Team Rodimus back to Cybertron dead or alive.

## Personality

Unlike many of his contemporaries, Cyclonus is a very noble and honorable warrior. Cyclonus is intensely loyal to his cause, though his loyalty to his men, and especially his long-time blood brother in Scourge, is a lot stronger. His belief in a fair fight is just as strong, and is strongly against harming Team Rodimus's human companions. However, on the battlefield, he's an extremely fierce presence, slashing through opponents with ease with his heat sword and tearing apart enemy fighter planes at extreme speeds in jet mode. This is best exemplified by how he views the Autobot resistence, seeing them all as traitors to Cybertron that deserve to be hunted and executed for their treachery.

In addition to his calculating tactics, cool-minded leadership, and fierce loyalty, Cyclonus shows a sense of integrity not normally characterized by many other Destrons. During situations of dwindling odds, he makes sure to consider all possibilities within battle, and is wary of the potential consequences of hasty decisions. He will even fight alongside the Autobots if the need arises. In order to secure a favorable outcome or the welfare of his compatriots, the Destron air force commander will save face*,* or indeed the sparks of a few Autobots, if it means a clean victory and living to battle another day.

## History

### The Civil War

Cyclonus was brought online around the tail-end of the original Great Cybertronian War, where he was one of many soldiers created by the Decepticons to aid in their conquest. However, he would only partake in a few battles before Galvatron would be taken down by Sentinel Prime. But the new Prime was willing to grant him and many other Decepticons created alongside him leniency due them still being young Sparks and were granted amnesty, with many of them joining the newly formed Destron Army; Cyclonus among them.

### The War with the Quintessons

Cyclonus was among the Destron armed forces that remained on Cybertron to repair the damage from the war. However, it was then that the Quintessons launched their invasion. Cyclonus was one of the lucky few who managed to escape enslavement from the five faced slimeballs and managed to hide... for a time at least, until he was chased out by a group of their flying enforcers. He was shot down, but thankfully he fell closeby a plaza that appeared to still have functioning power. The survivors inside managed to pull him in just before the enforcers could finish him off. The one who saved him, a simple transporter, was evidentally growing more and more frustrated by the constant hiding and treatment of his people by this alien menace, and desired more than anything to see them driven off their once beautiful home. Sensing a kindred spirit, Cyclonus trained the transporter in every style of training he knew, and when Scourge was ready, the two began a revolution to free his people - or at the very least hold them off until Sentinel Prime and his forces returned from space. Thankfully, the duo's immense strength and force of arms saw them through many a victory, all the while the two unlikely warriors grew stronger in skill and towards each other, eventually seeing each other as brothers in arms. Upon Sentinel's return, the two were awarded with the status of generals for their acts of bravery and were placed as some of the leads for the protection of the planet itself. Unfortunately, as the Empire started to become darker over time, so too did the Sparks of the heroes of the Quintesson revolution. The pair's lofty ideal of bringing peace and safety to a chaotic world gave way to merely maintaining order under their empire's iron fist.

## Abilities & Equipment

* Transformation

Cyclonus is able to transform into an aerial craft: an alien Cybertronian type on Cybertron and a fighter aircraft while on Earth. He is also able to use the thrusters that his legs convert into in robot mode as a means to fly and even give himself a speed boost in battle.

* Laser Blaster
* Bleedblack Blades

Cyclonus carries twin Bleedblack blades. In normal battle, they act as simple but effective close combat weapons, but when energized, they can sap the energy out of his opponents and even release a burst of energy to disrupt enemy technology & knock back charging enemies.

## Relationships

### Scourge

Cyclonus and Scourge have seen been through hell in back together on Cybertron and across the galaxy, and thusly, have forged a strong friendship to the point where they see each other as brothers.

## Notes

Cyclonus's personality in this series, while a slight spin on his characterization in the original cartoon and how noble he (sometimes) is, is heavily based off of TF Prime Dreadwing to make him a noble & honorable warrior that is highly dedicated to his faction.

Cyclonus's Bleedblack blades are taken directly from his Animated counterpart since they really help with his characterization of a deadly but honorable warrior.
