| VEHICLE MODE:
BuildCyclone is the fourth and final figure in the
BuildMasters line measuring approximately 4" in length, 2.75" in width, and
2.5" in height (5" when the crane is fully raised). He has two shades of
Red with the crane being Metallic Red. Other parts are either Silver or Gray such as
the front bumper and parts of the crane arm. The cab has Smoke-Clear plastic windows
which opens to reveal the storage place for BC's pistol.
As with BuildTyphoon, BuildCyclone has four large wheels and similar
shape with nice details of a crane. It even has a ladder mold on the side of the
body for the driver to get into the cab. As a matter of fact, all figures have nice
detailed molds.
The crane arm almost has a 180 degree movement but that's about it.
No additional string attachments to the hook which would have been nice like the
feature on Endeavor in the Microman99 line.
If you separate the top part of the crane from the main body it will
allow you to rotate the upper half 360 degrees simulating the movement of a real crane.
ROBOT MODE: As with BuildTyphoon,
transformation is quite easy starting with the removal of the crane from the body.
Separate the lower/rear half of the vehicle creating the legs.
You should see the knee joints and if you pulled the legs out too far, reconnect
the pelvis joint creating the letter "M". Fold out the hands and arms as
you did with BuildTyphoon. Also rotate the shoulders so that the tires are facing
up. Extend the two pieces at the rear of the vehicle which form the robots toes.
You can also separate the lower half of the legs which are connected with peg
joints.
Now go back to the crane piece that you removed earlier. Fold
the Gray piece out and down revealing BuildCyclone's head. Then rotate his head 180
degrees so he's looking down. Now place his head in the peg hole located on the
robots body which should fit snug. There's a peg that is on the crane piece which
fits into the hole located on BC's back.

BuildCyclone in Robot Mode with his Pistol &
Crane Cannon weapons.

Here's a close up photo of Cyclone's head.
Raise the crane arm slightly then pull out the barrel
of his Crane Cannon which is colored Black and hidden on the inside of the crane arm.
His weapon can stay connected to his back or it can be removed, extended and
attached to either fist. You can also remove his pistol from the storage space in
the cab and attach it to his other fist. BuildCyclone stands at a whopping 7"
when his Crane Cannon is connected to his back and is facing forward.
If BC seems to be a little heavy with his weapon on his
back, you can also extend the two black pieces behind his legs which give added support
when standing. Pretty simple eh?
BuildCyclone is sporting a Red helmet with a Black
visor and Silver painted face. Again I'll say that BuildTyphoon and BuildCyclone are
my favorite of the four due to their easy transformation, and both vehicle and robot
appearances not to mention the fact that their weapons are awesome!
NOTE: BuildCyclone can be transformed into
BuildKing's arms, either leg, and weapons. |
