Then again, Universe repaints rarely looked like what they were named for.

That would be my guess too.
Certainly wouldn't be the first Universe figure to retain the original name and have a slightly modified paint deco.
Where you guys are seeing Cyclonus in this figure though... I don't know, maybe I haven't had enough to drink tonight because I sure as heck don't see it at all. Not even close.

It's probably because BotCon 2002 had made a Cyclonus figure out of this toy:T-Macksimus wrote:Where you guys are seeing Cyclonus in this figure though... I don't know, maybe I haven't had enough to drink tonight because I sure as heck don't see it at all. Not even close.

Now all we need to see is a canceled Deluxe Thrust repaint.

I remember that. Still, I keep wishing for a BM Thrust repaint, he deserves one!

The beast machine line was lame as hell. At least, they prooved that Beast wars toys could be improved and appealing...
anyway I feel I'm gonna get a lot of heat because of what I said about the machines line. Still, the mold is a lot of meh, and the paint scheme is a lot of yuck

THANK you! That was exactly what I was thinking when I saw this article. The Ultra Jetstorm figure was one of my few favorite of the BM toys UNTIL its' chrome turned to crap. I never touched it again after discovering this because it disheartened me so.
