Cyclonus's Armada


 * Cyclonus's Armada is a former Decepticon.



Cyclonus's Armada is the Decepticon that Unicron put under Cyclonus's command. He was eventually reborn as Phoenix.

Pre-MUX continuity
When Unicron approached Earth in 1997, he encountered a long-range Decepticon patrol, which he immediately annihilated. Desiring heralds to send to Earth, Unicron recreated the fallen Decepticons into new warriors, and plucked Galvatron from another dimension to lead them. He send his minions to Earth to prepare it for his coming.

MUX continuity
Unfortunately for Unicron, he was destroyed during his attempted destruction of Earth, leaving Galvatron and his forces free to pursue their own destinies.

After Unicron's apparent destruction, The Autobot Phoenix met his match in Armada -- Cyclonus's twin. After Phoenix managed to upset several of Armada's plans, the Unicronian decided to take matters into his own hands and personally deal with Phoenix once and for all.

During a routine shuttle flight to Earth, where Phoenix was being reassigned due to volunteered transfer, Armada saw his chance. Destroying the shuttle, Armada proceeded to engage Phoenix in close-quarters combat. But as they fought, a temporal shockwave set off by the malfunction of a phase-cloak generator washed over the pair, blinding them both...

Phoenix suddenly awoke, looking around for Armada, who had apparently vanished. Only after a few minutes had passed did he realize that something was different, and he looked at himself.

He had been fused with Armada. Royal purple with fiery-hued orange, red and yellow... and an Autobot sigil.

Phoenix had been reborn from the ashes.
