Cyclonus (Machine Wars)

Cyclonus was a Decepticon who fought in the Machine Wars.

Character History
Cyclonus began life as the Starscream clone Skywarp, who was based on Starscream's cowardice. After the battle between the clones and both the Autobots and Megatron, Skywarp was left badly damaged. However, Megatron recovered his remains, and using Dark Energon, Megatron reformatted Skywarp into the loyal Cyclonus.

Character Biography
Cyclonus was undying loyal to Megatron, later Galvatron, and remained loyal to him even when the traitorous Autobot Ultra-Magnus took control. When he overheard Ultra-Magnus stating that he planned to kill Megatron after he brought Cybertron into Earth's atmosphere, he immediately ran to tell Megatron. However, an enraged Megatron then attacked cyclonus before then attacking Ultra-Magnus. Megatron then fled from Earth on his ship, but due to Starscream's interference, his ship exploded, seemingly killing Megatron.

When Megatron later returned as Galvatron, Cyclonus remained loyal to him, despite his earlier attempt on his own life. After Galvatron died alongside Unicron, Scourge took over the Decepticons, despite Cyclonus' protests that Megatron was the one and only leader. When Galvatron resurfaced on Quintessa, he had gone completely insane and saw everyone was his enemy, even Cyclonus. Cyclonus blamed Scourge for this and atttacked him before fleeing the earth. Scourge was later captured by the Autobots.

Cyclonus was finally knocked unconcious following a battle with Optimus Prime, and lost his memory. He was then reformatted as an Autobot.

Beast Wars
Many years later, Cyclonus had become an Autobot prison guard and was on board a prison ship transferring several Decpeticon prisoners, lead by the rebel Megatron, when Wasp attacked the ship so the Decepticons could escape. Megatron stole a blaster rifle and shot dead Wheeljack before cornering and executing Cyclonus, siting his betrayal of the Decepticons as his primary reason for felling him.
