Cyclonus's Armada refers to the one (or more) seemingly identical robots created by Unicron at the same time as Cyclonus in The Movie.

As Cyclonus's personal forces the Armada is/are the logical counterpart to the Sweeps. The script for the movie refers to them thusly:

CYCLONUS is CREATED and then his "armada" of similar, but smaller and similarly colored and clad creatures are formed.

The actual number of robots in the 'Armada' are unknown. While Unicron had only six Decepticon to Transform^[1] at least five Sweeps are seen at one point in this scene, and the inclusion of the Insecticons, with the ability to clone themselves, makes the actually numbering ambiguous.^[2].

The armada's fate

Cycloni ffod5 — Four jets of this type are seen at once in Five Faces of Darkness.

Footnotes

↑ Six Decepticons; Megatron, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Kickback, Bombshell, and Shrapnel were ejected from [[Astrotrain (G1)|]]
↑ Either more than the 6 Transformers seen were present (likely int he form of more Insecticon clones) or the Sweeps (and the Armada?) retained the Insecticons' cloning abilities. Or a wizard did it.
