Cyclonus is a fictional character from the robotics science-fiction adventure franchise "Transformers" (Hasbro). Cyclonus is the first knight of the diabolical Galvatron (the leader of the evil Decepticons). Cyclonus and the Decepticons vie with the valiant Autobots for dominion over Earth. Cyclonus was a discarded insecticon (a predatory Decepticon robot that transforms into a creepy laser-shooting insect) named Bombshell but was given a new body and armor with Galvatron and his goons by the sinister robot mastermind Unicron in "Transfomers: The Movie" (1986).
Cyclonus is a psyche hologram of humanity's worst emotions about fascism and ostracism. Cyclonus is the perfect anti-hero and counselor for the terrifying Galvatron and his army of Decepticons. Cyclonus is a being who embodies the natural yearning to find short-cuts to happiness at any nihilistic cost. No one feels thrilled when contemplating the overbearing requirements of tedious labor, so short-cuts always seem clever, shrewd, and even intelligent. Cyclonus is the perfect pop culture art symbol of 'bandit artistry,' a rogue who champions those sneaky routes to profit and makes evil look practical.
We live in a traffic-gauged world of stealthy population management policies. At the USA-Mexico bordertown Tijuana, ruthless druglords engage in profitable schemes of resource and narcotics smuggling, and they do it so successfully that their activity has been ingrained in history. There was news in this decade alone of NYC police officers being attacked with hatchets and airline stewardesses involved in narcotics affairs. It seems that our modern brand of convenience culture (i.e., eTrade, eBay, etc.) has created a rather celebratory cynicism.
In this modern world of consumerism pirates and prosperity barons, Cyclonus is the modern era Iago (from "Othello" [Shakespeare]). Cyclonus reminds us of the undeniable allure of 'befriending' an airline stewardess entangled in a narcotics-smuggling operation or the obvious profitability of allying oneself with a powerful land speculator. Cyclonus may not be the Devil himself, but certainly, he is the representation of the human interest in doing evil for profit's sake.
Why is Cyclonus a robot? Why was he once an insecticon? Does Cyclonus remind us of the body's agile movements towards avoiding ethics or the labor of ethics? We invoke the avatar of Cyclonus when we think euphorically about thievery and mischief, so the real trick of the modern exorcist is to replace Cyclonus's prophetic 'diligence silencer-gun' with a proverbial 'optimism command water-gun.'
