Facts/Notes about Extriverse Cyclonus:
• Spent a week inside Unicron mutating into their current selves, upon which they hatched from fluid-filled chrysalises in their current state and left Unicrons body to enact his will.
• He’s bio-organic and functions differently enough from regular Cybertronians to be at the very least considered a sub-species.
• Was a part of the two-year long battle with/against/for Unicron.
• Suffered torment from Unicron if he so much as wavered outside of Unicrons commands and desires.
• When Unicron was defeated, he, like the other Unicronians became inert for a few months after having their ‘primary power source’ taken away.
• Like his fellow Unicronians Cyclonus has a “Garbage Gut”.
• While Unicron was alive Cyclonus and the others had seemingly unlimited strength and power, now he’s ““dead”” their power is noticeably weaker but they are still forces to be reckoned with.
• Like other Unicronians he can make his optics appear to be ‘aflame’, this is purely an aesthetic effect.
• Cyclonus can rattle his “ribs” to produce a rather chilling aggressive noise to convey emotion.
• Cyclonus was indeed promised an ‘Armada’ however they did not survive the mutation process getting reabsorbed into Unicron’s mass and so he was left with nothing.
• Can be a bit of a charmer and convince people/crowds to see things from his point of view when and if he chooses; such as when he convinced the Decepticons to donate power in order to help them find Galvatron again or roused a rabble against the Autobots.
• Cyclonus finds no sport (and later no honour) in fighting unarmed foes, this sometimes extends to disliking fighting foes who cannot match him. However, foes that can match something like him are few and far between.
As such if he counts you among those Cyclonus is likely to keep you alive for the sole purpose of killing you himself or toying with you like a predator with its prey and he makes such a desire known quite clearly.
• Don’t mistake such behaviour for friendliness, however, that could be a grave error on your part. He is fiercely loyal to the Decepticons and is more than willing to tear Cybertron apart by his own hand if he thinks it’s of benefit to them or Galvatron.
• Cyclonus is a loyal Decepticon, not necessarily obedient. By which I mean if he thinks something could be a boon to the Decepticons he will pursue it even if he was not ordered to do so and has occasionally disregarded orders to stop in favour of continuing his pursuit (Such as “The Big Broadcast of 2006”).
• His horns are not erogenous no matter how much you mock him or make jokes about it, they just ain’t.
• Has actually charged and impaled someone with said horns.
• Is acutely aware of Galvatrons neural issues and as such does his best to take care of the issue; such as noticing when Galvatron is becoming overwhelmed/overstimulated and taking him away to ‘cool off’ if he can.
• Speaking of, he has a incredibly ‘close bond’ to Galvatron in particular and shares a room with him.
• This desire to help and support their leader of whom he has trust and faith in, knowing he’s a perfectly capable and powerful leader underneath it all means he’ll accept help from… dubious sources if he thinks it’ll go someway to helping Galvatron.
Which is how the Torkulon event happened. To this day he still feels guilty about it. Even if Galvatron eventually came to forgive him he hates that he listened to a source as corrupt as a Quintesson despite knowing their nature.
• Weirdly can be pegged as being ‘noble’.
• Many Decepticons cannot figure out if he acts protective of them out of aforementioned ‘hidden noble quality’ or his loyalty to the Decepticons as a whole, or even some kind of arrogant ‘fight me instead because I’m better’ thought or maybe even just out of a sense of ‘duty’ as SIC.
• Willingly helps Decepticons train and hone their skills which furthers their confusion on how to handle him.
• He is an impromptu ‘therapist’ for the Decepticons. After many realised he took up researching psychology and other similar subjects after what happened on Torkulon as a method of better helping their leader and his neural/processor health issues a few Decepticons started asking him about their issues.
Occasionally Cyclonus does give help/advice to them but often just lets them talk while not fully paying attention, that’s usually more than enough to make them feel better and go, however, he watches out for certain keywords to respond to.
• Creates a deep rumbling purr when content, or happy.
• Can roar. I mean it. Like "make a whole battlefield stop and stare"-roar.
• He can ‘paralyse’ people for up to a minute max, depending on the individuals will, with his optics. The hypnotising part is actually pretty useless, yelling a command at someone frozen by Cyclonus causes them to uncontrollably perform said action, if capable (but not very well) but it also immediately frees them from Cyclonus’s ‘command’. More than once an Autobot has managed to yell “Punch Cyclonus in the face!” and gotten the Decepticon clocked in the face more than once. Hence why it is never used for such a function.
• The Spine at the end of his tail can lodge into an enemy and drain them of their power/energy and transfer said energy to Cyclonus.
• There is a rumor among the Decepticons he is a vampire because of these abilities.
• Most definitely a leftover from his previous self is a general immunity to teleportation-based problems. For example, it's not uncommon for many bots to be disorientated and 'queasy' after teleporting especially if they haven't before or the distance is extremely far, Cyclonus never feels such an effect.
• Is created from 90% Skywarp parts and 10% of Bombshell.
• Dislikes the terms “crazy” and “insane”, especially when used in regard to Galvatron.
• Can eject a blast of energy from his tail even when not in ‘vehicle mode’ to damage foes.
• Can glide around slowly and quite majestically in his alt mode when not on duty, though he’s often going faster than he appears to be and can still make a sharp-turn decision to come down and attack.

Design notes:
• The tail is a reference to his Armada-self
• The triangular head is because of how I depict Seeker heads.
• His eyes are meant to be octopus-like.
• His mouth is similar to a snapping turtles and his teeth based of a Dunkleosteus. Meaning, yes, his bark is just as bad as his bite.
• His feet are based off pigs trotters.
