Personality:
Even from an early age, you’d barely think he was a Decepticon at all if not for the giveaway appearance.
Cyclotron is too disinterested in fighting, aggression or any of that, he’s too sweet-natured for that although some think that might just be because he’s young and naive especially as he will occasionally show a gently growing stubborn streak when pressed.
Cyclotron is energetic and chatty with a bit of a one-track-mind and that track is dedicated to the paranormal.
He’s far too friendly and eager to drag people about on paranormal hunts to bother being cruel or callous, even if he says his ‘friend’ encourages it. He’s just happy his creators are still supportive of him even if he’s not a fighter which makes him a bit shy and self-conscious.

Galvonus is quiet to the point where he has been mistaken as a mute on more than one occasion, however, he just doesn’t see the need to babble and lets his actions talk for him.
Which is weird as he can be quite still for a while.
While more of a model Decepticon, even at his age, it’s due to his strength and budding prowess in physical fighting going as far to spar with bots bigger than himself and handling it quite well; this line of physical training comes from the fact he still cannot transform and received this kind of training to make up for it. The lack of a alt mode is concerning but the cause is confidently pinned on the fact he has no cannon and due to his semi-organic nature a normal cannon will not suffice to allow him to transform.

Galvonus is less like a “Decepticon” the more you know him.
Galvonus is caring and watchful, keeping order and peace around him, he’s not above sharing what he has if he feels anyone to be left out and quietly standing as a comforting presence.
This predominantly stretches to his family of whom he’d give up the chance at ultimate power just to make even one of them happy.

Notes/Extra:

  • Cyclotron is Autistic.
  • They try to get all of their siblings and friends to join them on paranormal investigations even if they don’t want it.
  • Has a minor crush on Holtzmann from the 2016 Ghostbusters movie.
  • Actually has a automatic crush on any femme who is big and buff.
  • Has a motormouth when it comes to ghosts and such.
  • His ghost friend “Starshine” is actually Starscream and despite Starscream trying to put this nuisance of a friend to use by getting him to foil his parents plans or to be mean Cyclotron just never manages it.
  • Was the one to create the term “Brosis” in reference to his older siblings as his limited vocabulary at the time settled on that before they had a chance to give him a gender neutral term.
  • Hums or mumbles to himself sometimes when bored or losing interest.
  • Is terribly allergic to flowers.

  • Actually knows a few forms of non-verbal communication and often uses this to perpetuate the ‘mute’ myth for his own amusement.
  • Finger taps when agitated.
  • Usually has a med kit or repair kit on him.
  • Carries about a drill to use for both repairs and as a weapon if need be as he has no cannon like Galvatron.
  • Cyclonus is vocal to Galvatron about his concerns about Galvonus’s lack of alt mode and feels that Galvonus may be pushing his physical training too far to compensate.
  • He will eventually “grow” a cannon like Galvatrons but it will be painful for him.
  • Collects things he deems ‘useful’.
  • Always accompanies Cyclotron on his paranormal hunts if he’s capable (usually only being on a separate planet is the only way for him not to come with) and does not trust this “Starshine” friend even if he’s never seen him.

After updating Galvatrons design I thought it was time to give Cyclonus a update too.

Backstory:
The Predacon council selected one of their strongest, most loyal warriors for a mission of importance. A relic of unknown purpose and power to be taken far away from Cybertron and kept out of prying hands.

Cyclonus was selected for this task and given a heavily guarded temple and a transwarp drive set at ‘random’ and sent on his way.

Cyclonus came to Earth a while before Megatron or Primal having already set up a secure base before they crashed.
He stayed away from them, the less they knew about the relic the better.

He was disgruntled when one of the ‘new guys’ continued to try and build a base near his, continually missing his “leave” message whenever he destroyed the shack.
One day he found the perpetrator, a pink Carnotaurus.
Yelling to the thief he transformed and launched an attack on the intruder!.

He was a well-trained warrior, they on the other hand, fought with a brutal, feral rage that cost Cyclonus an arm. However, before Cyclonus could come up with a plan to counter the sheer bruteforce of his enemy, they collapsed, unable to continue.
Scanning them as a Predacon, Cyclonus sighed.
Honor bound him to ensure no Predacon would die a glory-less, honor-less death.
So he collected his arm, and collected this Predacon and left for home.

At the base the Predacon was force-transformed and re-energised.

When they awoke Cyclonus gave them a simple curt introduction.
He was Cyclonus and he was here to protect a relic and he was not welcome to stay for too long and endanger his mission.

Unfortunately for Cyclonus, Galvatron, as he introduced himself, seemed to think that this was now his home even going as far to state as “You owe me a place to stay after destroying mine so many times”, Cyclonus was furious and tried his best to force him out many times. It was not to be as Galvatron always found his way back in and somehow integrated himself as part of the ship’s crew.

Cyclonus gradually found he was reaping some benefit to the new lodger, he knew how to fix things with minimal supplies and didn’t pry too much into his job there.
Yet he came back to the base with injuries 95% of the time and Cyclonus would be lying if he said his curiosity wasn’t raised.

Galvatron ranted for a long time about Megatron and how bad he was, about his abandonment and mistreatment. Cyclonus wasn’t quite prepared for such a info-flood but once more felt compelled to go further into the situation surrounding them.

Investigating the Predacon base he observed their numbers, he recognised them, two at least he’d scared the red flier away once before and they had returned with the purple one claiming to have seen a monster. He’d scared them both away with a threat display but was unaware they were of any significance and still did not see anything of importance with them.

The Maximal base however was a different… He knew that face… He knew that snarl.

Unlike his stealth at the Predacon base Cyclonus let free at the Maximals charging to them with reckless abandon!
“DIIINOOOOBOOOOOOOOT!” He howled, charging the raptor off their somewhat startled feet.

It was a tense confusing few minutes.
For one who valued loyalty and honor so much seeing a friend with Maximals was confusing and upsetting to say the least.
But, as a close friend from way back he gave him the benefit of the doubt.

He heard about the mission here, he heard about Megatron, about how the fool was going strange and rather power-mad.
Galvatron was beginning to make more sense now.

Accepting and honoring his friends choice, Cyclonus promised not to harm his allies even if they came close to his temple, although he denied an offer from Primal to join them.

Cyclonus still made frequent visits to their base however. All to visit Dinobot the two being able to talk about Predacon honor and values easily, sparring and trading insults with Rattrap as they chased the rodent.

With words from a friend ringing true Cyclonus was more open to Galvatron now too, he fully accepted him in his home and let him move about freely (still not to the relic chamber however, honor bound not to). It was surprising for Galvatron, but not unwelcome and his attitude improved a lot at the acceptance.

Life was improving for Cyclonus and his friends! Yet he could feel something bad about to happen, he fretted and feared when a strange object appeared in the sky and found himself genuinely distressed when Galvatron did not return. Unable to leave Cyclonus fearfully hunkered down in his base hoping that Galvatron and his friend Dinobot would be safe.

He was overjoyed when soon after Galvatron returned!
Less so to see he had returned with two others, one being that nuisance of a red flier.

He only allowed them to stay if Galvatron watched them and kept them away from his business.

Skorponok was easy enough to handle, sad at the seeming abandonment from his former crew but glad to be alive.
Terrorsaur was a pain however and despite being fearful of Cyclonus still tried many times to “challenge the monster” and fight him and get the power of his relic.
He lost every time and ever so slowly backed off as Galvatron also fought him into place.

Life continued as it had been before the strange alien weapon appeared. Until it all changed one day.

While on a routine patrol Cyclonus caught sight of something at the Maximal base.
Or more accurately he caught sight of a corpse.

He stared at it.
For a long time.
His processor… Denied it… Refused it…
But it was true.

Rage and pain tore through his Spark and Cyclonus launched himself at the Maximal base, he wasn’t even sure if he said anything, or if it was all screaming rage.
He must’ve said something as they babbled to him as they tried to fight back, to suppress him.
“We didn’t kill him”
“He died saving the future”
“This isn’t the way to remember him!”

Unable to continue facing them Cyclonus fled, still howling to the night, grief-filled pleas to a sky that didn’t budge.

He walked back to the base, full of devastating emotions.
What kind of warrior… no, what kind of friend did not back their friend in a fight?
Energon seeped into his systems and began draining him but he didn’t care.
He didn’t want to care about anything right now.

He collapsed near his base and someone must have found him as when he awoke he was back in his room.

Still didn’t care.

He glared at the wall for days barely moving or consuming fuel until Galvatron angrily confronting him.
Galvatron hadn’t expected Cyclonus to have such a breakdown.

It took days for him to grieve, the knowledge that Dinobot would’ve told him he was being stupid somehow just making him feel worse.
Slowly but surely, he quietly found himself recovering and calming down.

The relic wasn’t the only thing to protect here, if someone he had admired and befriended for so long thought the world was worth it, then he would protect it too.

Still won’t join the Maximals though.

Notes/Extra:

  • Lives in a cave behind a waterfall wit Galvatron, then later Skorponok and Terrorsaur.
  • Knew Dinobot back on Cybertron and was friends with him for a long time there.
  • Wields a staff with a Falx blade on each end.
  • Not sure how he’d react to Dinobot 2 or if he’s met them but would most likely be furious at the ‘insult’ to his friends memory.
  • They were already getting a bit ‘close’ but after sharing more emotions after his friends death that’s what really got Galvatron and Cyclonus together.

so, A) Waspinator is still super-duper adorable.

B) Imagine Waspinator finds a stasis pod and tries to activate it to prove how good he is, but being him he botches it so not only is it still a Maximal it comes out as a sparkling/baby and Waspinator names it after it’s alt mode! And thus, a BW Bumblebee! Waspinator loves his fluffo son.

Tired, gay and purple, it’s my (simplified) Bayverse Galvatron!

He’s similar-ish to his AoE appearance but purple as when he was (at least in this half-baked idea) reformatted after TLK, Unicron edited his form. He’s still capable of doing the transformium-cloud-thing but he has a more ‘fluid’ appearance when doing so. Someone help this poor tired spark.

A Bayverse Scourge to accompany Cyclonus and… a Sweep… yeah.

Scourge is ancient, his wings barely functional and kept draped over him like a cape. He acts like a caretaker to Unicron within the Earth, trapped there since before humans even arose! A long-lost Cybertronian explorer! The “Sweeps” are actually grown off his back by Unicron to aid him in keeping Unicron clean because that’s a big area for one old guy, so yeah they’re not pleasant at all but loneliness and age means he’s… senile enough that if he even notices he doesn’t really say anything. Poor guy.
