KFC’s Unofficial Transformers Cyclonus Quick Thoughts
The KFC Tempest (at TFSource, at BBTS) is a fine looking Cyclonus-inspired robot toy. I can say that I’m 100% happy with the look, transformation, and colors of the toy and that I’m impressed at how KFC managed to design a new Cyclonus that may look even better than the official Transformers Universe Cyclonus (review here).
Unfortunately, all of the design work in the world couldn’t save the toy from floppy parts. The joints are far too loose and weak for the toy, resulting in one of the best-looking third party Transformers toys of the year also being one of the most disappointing toys of the years. You should skip this and hope that the company manages a reissue of the design with joints that better support the weight of the plastic.
