Beast Wars... Cyclonus?

LAWLZ

I remember about a year ago a few of us got together and started to try and figure out what Transformers: Armada Autobots (and 'cons) would look like had they appeared in the Beast Wars...

The two I did first were Hotshot as a Cheetah, and Wheeljack as a black wolf... Among other ideas (like Demolisher as an Elephant, Sideswipe as a golden retriever, Blurr as a peregrine falcon, Red Alert; a St. Bernard, Smokescreen was a bear [yes, we had the whole "Smokey the Bear" joke in mind with that one...]), Cyclonus was going to be a Vulture...

Vultures are big goofy looking birds and Cyclonus (most of the time), is a psychotic goof-off so... we figured it'd fit. I tried the design a LONG time ago in oekaki but thankfully that attempt was wiped... I don't even remember what it looked like, but I prefer this one MUCH better. D:

I know, he doesn't have "his" nose. I recall Cye having this distinct nose design in robot mode as opposed to the more generic one you'd find on, say, Starscream or Sideswipe. I had no reference. TxT;

But for the most part, I'm kinda happy with this. He has claws on his fingers! I also tried to get rid of the top heavy look he had in Armada with the front of his helicopter mode jutting out like a gut... (or maybe I'm thinking of Snowcat... D: )

HE'S GOT A FEATHER BOA! ... *ahem* yes.
