Cyclotron has all the potential to have been a great Masters of the Universe figure. Seriously, a little adjustment to his proportions and I could see him hanging out with He-Man and punching Skeletor right in the face. The best surprise for me about this figure is his removable head and face plate. Early production shots of this figure were really confusing and I was totally convinced that he would be one of the variants (like Negative Man) and that you either got him with his robot parts showing or his human bits. But nope you can just flick off his face and chest piece to reveal his robot nature.

In his human form he’s a pretty distinctive looking figure, and the inspiration from the original Kenner toy is certainly there. The green and yellow deco is nice, and there’s a lot of detail sculpted into his outfit, particularly in his torso and boots. His head sculpt features a fairly blank expression and a pair of red shades capped off by a helmet to match his outfit. The red tab on the front of his chest is there to help pop off his chest piece. Both the face and the chestpiece lock on very tightly so there’s no fear of them popping off. Unfortunately, Cyclotron is a bit of a bobblehead. Popping off his human parts reveals the android underneith. It’s silver with some sculpted detail. The android face is recessed quite a bit under the helmet, so you really have to get in close to see it well.

Unless you count his removable skin pieces, Cyclontron doesn’t come with any accessories. And since he’s a Superpowers figure, he also doesn’t include any of the Trigon Collect & Connect pieces. He does, however come with a nice Superpowers figure stand.

Ok, so Cyclotron’s backstory isn’t the greatest, or even the most plausible for that matter, but he still makes for an awesome figure. He’s also a great bit of nostalgia for anyone who has fond memories of the old Kenner figures. As already mentioned, these Superpowers figures tend to be among my favorites in each wave and Cyclotron is no exception.
