I think Scourges greatest and worst moment was the factory where he took on all available Autobots by himself and did pretty damn well.

Took out Trailbreaker through a wall and mortally wounded Grappel with what looked like a playing card.

Then got his ass handed to him by Megatron.

Worst moment: "Oh yeah? Listen you pompous, overbearing fool - we don't have to take this from you! I mean, why should we serve someone we're going to kill and succeed in twenty years?"

Guh... he deserved to be killed after a screw up like that.

Their post T2006 characters were more fun. Though Scourge's greatest scene was that warehouse fight in T2006.

The worst part is that they were so scary and powerful at first but turned into a pair of goobers later on. I think their worst moment has got to be when they're running like crazy trying to escape Death's Head.

Babies.

Remebering of course that DH was a MAJOR hardass who handed Galvatron`s (and lots of other TFs) ass to him on more than one occasion.

Personally, I hated their "development", I preferred their T2006 personas, unfeeling bodyguards and all that.

That being said, I always liked Cyclonus in the cartoon, his unwavering loyalty to Galvatron, even though he more than anyone knew that Galvy was nuttier than an almond cake.

well cyclonus in the cartoon is the fan #1 of galvatron, he dreams with galvatron, he tinks in galvatron all time...he loves galvatron

in comic his worst moment...when he and scourge where leaders of the decepticons in legacy nad when he told shockwave how they will kill him

smart move...if you want to be dacapitated.
the best moments of this duo...target 2006

I was just thinking how unlucky Cyclonus is. In one reality he's killed by fellow 'con Megatron, in the other by his own master Galvatron! ("I only saved you... so I could kill you myself!")

Anyhow, they did progress from unbeatable bodyguards to a double act played for laughs, but it was fun. Seeing them trample Roddy when running from Death's Head was funny.

Does anybody buy that theory that Cyclonus used to be called 'Lifespark'? Cause I don't.

When they first met him, they stood their ground. And Death's Head kicked they're heads in with a relative ease. It was only after that they started to run at his mere sight, and with a good reason, if you ask me.

I like them how they were after Target: 2006. They were a bit like Starscream in the cartoon, but much more entertaining. And they actaully posed a serious threat.

Bah, I was hoping we'd avoid that debate...

not at all. I think he is just being a bit poeticalin saying before he was nothing and now he is... Cyclonus!

They did seem to regress a bit didn't they? But it was indeed fun, especically as Geoff S always did such a great job on them.

Do you reckon they got 'reinstated' in the future in the same way Galvy seemed to have been in Aspect's of Evil?

Cyc's best moment : beating the crap out of Hound.
Cyc's worst moment : him beginning scourge to help him just before having his head ripped off.

Scourge's best moment : Trying to save the cosmos by flinging himself into the time storm.
Scourge's worst moment : Getting the bejezubs blasted out of him by Death's Head.

I liked them, they were a good pairing... although thankfully got their strength's toned down a bit after T:2006. It's a shame they're partly responsible for future Shocker's death, otherwise i wouldn't really have a bad thing to say about them... except they became targetmasters...

ah yes - classic power fluctuation levels.
when the wreckers drop into the city to fight Cyc Scourge and Galvatron, they are armed with those huge guns that seem to punch big holes in things.

Cyc & Scourge seem to withstand them OK, im guessing these guns blow holes through normall TF...

I love their comedy bickering, it always reminded me of Dreadwind and Darkwing.

That'd be a nice twist, actually - if, in the comic continuity, it was Dreadwind and Darkwing who were reformed by Unicron, hence Cyclonus and Scourge's post-T2006 married-couple personas.
