There is a fix for the cockpit to sit flush. Someone posted in one of the facebook group. Said he had to use a exacto knife. To shave off some square pegs from the cockpit or under the cockpit. And once he did it. The square pegs sat in the ports much better.
Do you have a link?
an FT rep at tfw said that lubing up the square peg below the cockpit should also do the trick.
@@TMan978 Not at the moment. I will see if i can find the original fb post about the fix.
You have to shave some flash out of the peg holes. Don’t shave the pegs themselves.
@@TMan978 Here's the fix : imgur.com/irItYC2
Dam..... most impressive in that samurai mode. Thank you for showing how to interchange it. Cant wait to get mine.
No problem
Thanks for showing the IDW parts, I think they look really decent.
No prob
Great review Tman. I was really trying to not get this but now I cannot resist.
Thank you SO MUCH for showing the easiest way to take the hip armor off! I have to box mine for transportation, and I’m sure I would’ve broken it with my awkward attempt.
Thanks for another awesome review,TMan! Overall that bad boy is nice,Bro! Just added FT Quietus to my want list!
Great review TMan. I learned a lot .watching to the end.thank you.I am getting him today Lucky me it was not easy or cheap.!
I use a LEGO parts separator as a tool. It’s plastic and doesn’t damage the figures, You can get them in larger sets or for $3 each at the LEGO store.
Epic review T! All the IDW pieces came from the cancelled Perfect Fusion Cyclonus. Can't wait to play this guy.
Who makes perfect Fusion
@@TMan978 Perfect Fusion is\was a sister company to Fans Toys. They made Cesium. Quietus was at one time going to be released under that brand. tfsource.com/products/view/product_id/11801
@@TMan978 perfect fusion was basically just fans toys in a new name. All they released was an mp slag.
You would think that Fans Toys would've perfected the QC & tolerances of their toys by now, because they've been making 3P Transformers since 2013 with their FT-03 Quakewave, but they still haven't yet!
Lol
It is a TRUE masterpiece. Thx for the epic review!!!
No prob
You definitely earned the like doing the idw head 😂 cheers man
WHYYYYY are you NOT a world famous voice over artist? Lmao
Your voice is legit golden.
And I love love looove your intro music!
OK, lemme actually get past the one minute mark and watch this whole thing lmao
Lol. Keep sharing my videos and I will be a world famous personality.
Well technically, you don't see my face right now so I'm already halfway there.
14:05,0.0 OMG its this song!! XD
Now that's a beautiful jet mode he has. Funny considering his IDW counterpart,his avatar is that of a female Victorian teacher. XD
Great review TMan. Definitely Bot of the year. Would been cool if had lil Galvatron in Cockpit.
If it had a real cockpit
@@TMan978 so true
Great review bro.! I was getting scared about getting this figure but it looks great hope FT follow up with another good one with Sixshot
Thx
Ok, I clicked the bell... you sang and I obey... Kidding, thanks for the review sir! Very good looking figure. I like this figure more than that of xtransbots or MMC. It is unlikely that I will transform it even when I do like his alt mode a lot... but I don't see me spending a lot of time trying to get it transformed, and it seems to me that this is not a 5 mins transformation. Anyway, thanks for the review! I missed your skits, I haven't seen a lot of your videos but some of your skits were good. :D Just saying!
I like the skits too. Thanks. Inspiration does it hit me as much though. I have something growing in my mind but Lord knows if I'll still want to do it when the time comes
Good looking figure. Thanks for showing his IDW version.
I'm not a problem.
Escrima is named after the fighting sticks Nightwing uses in DC Comics because they can't call him Nightstick. I don't know why they called him Nightstick anyway, since he's a gun not a police truncheon.
Awesome review fellow collector. FT Cyclonus looks amazing. That silhouette is G1 amazing!
I'm looking at him now and he is way more beautiful to me than when I did my review
@@TMan978 This is great to hear. On the TFW2005 boards The Sky was falling. I am a bit bummed the are not any ratchets for the legs side to side that said it does looks like Cyclonus stands like a champ! He will be next to FT Galvatron & XTB Scourge! I want FT to give us an MP Astrotrain!
Quick question from TFcon this past weekend are u going to try and track down Xtransbots Crackup exclusive G2 colors? Man I like that color scheme
I'm glad you asked me early. A friend of mine may just let me borrow it.
@@TMan978 AWESOME FELLOW COLLECTOR!
WHEW! even I am exhausted after that transformation!!! :)
That shit was long even after I edited the hell out of it
Thanks for showing the head swap
No prob. I like it
The aesthetics of this figure make me want to buy it.
The transformation makes me want to buy X-Transbots' instead.
lol. I thought X-Transbots was hard too?
@@TMan978 I've watched reviews of both, and the transformations are similar, but everything's done with a step or two less complexity on Eligos. The cockpit-into-backpack has a lot fewer hinges. And it looks like less of a struggle to push all the tabs in. (Plus, looking at both again, I like Eligos' shade of purple better.)
In person, Quietest purple is beautiful Imo
@@TMan978 I know, but I've always liked the toys more than the cartoons. I want my Cyclonus looking like an angry violet marshmallow peep.
Smh
Looks cool. That pinkish purple is disturbing, though...it feels like FT is trying to go with a screwy AKOM color palette like how Takara did Targetmaster Hot Rod.
Love how flat the front of the jet looks, THAT'S how Cyclonus oughta be. Sucks about that little bit of QC fail, though...I really hope they don't screw up with their Hot Rod "Hooligan"...
He looks beautiful in person
Thanks for the in-depth video
No prob
This guy looks awesome. Can't wait to pick him up.
He's more beautiful the 2nd day
Very nice review! Can’t wait to get mine
Thank you dear Adrian. This figure was a major Adventure. I fixed the top fit by the way. I plan on doing an update video.
TMan978 you’re the 9th wonder. Your dulcet tone of chocolatey delight warms my loins
You can plug the targetmaster into those little dips at the back by the targetmaster's toes. Again, lots of force and alignment has to be perfect but it works.
Plug it in to where exactly?
@@TMan978 Okay, toward the back of jet mode are two little indentations/holes that are the exact match of the shape of the targetmaster's toes. If I could link a pic...i.imgur.com/BKmgQTP.jpg
Thank you
Awsome Action Figure review bro
Dope review as usual, was looking at him to potentially go with my kadmos or flame toys star saber (although I'm sure he's a bit too big for that one). And when are you gonna do some flame toys kuro kara kuri reviews? Would love to get your thoughts of one of those guys!
Who?! If those are the one that cost above $200, I'm going to review them when someone lends them to me. My thoughts are they cost too much. Lol.
@@TMan978 😂😂😂😂 I somewhat thought the same way til I got it in hand. When I received my Mp-44 I felt like I been had although it was a great figure in it's own right but didn't see the value of paying that much for it. On the other hand as soon I picked up my first flame toy I saw where the money went. Try to see if someone could lend u one to review. I personally feel it's not the type of line where you need to get them all, but rather just the meaningful ones, like for me Tarn, Prime, Star Saber and possibly that new Megs
I paid 330 for my mp44. It was honestly 30 more dollars than I was expecting to have to pay. But then again most of extra 30 was shipping. I got no regrets
@@TMan978 you lucked out with the 330, I paid the full 450 but even still at that price point I felt it shoulda been cheaper for what it was, maybe like 225-250 range like for their upcoming nemesis prime. When I picked up and handled my mp-44 tho it didn't feel like 450 or even 330 for that matter, even with all the extra stuff. On the other hand Tarn and the others felt like he was worth the money I paid. The only issue I have with them is that their craftsmanship maked everything else outside the line look cheap and derpy by comparison. But hey, different strokes for different folks right? I really do hope you can get ur hands on one at some point to see what I'm taking about tho, I think you'd really appreciate them.
@@artemisjones2121 since Megatron was 230, I already knew he was going to cost more. To be honest I thought he was going to be $300 to 350 and then with the Amazon jp discount he was going to be somewhere between 240 and 300. next Masterpiece that's coming up that you actually want go to Amazon Japan and pay 30% cheaper than whatever the stores are charging here. Not only do you get the figure 30% cheaper but it gets to you, two to three days after you pay for it from Japan.
Nice and I love your intro how do you make that?
Renderforest.com
Dope fig, thanks for showing the box...keep it up...this transformation makes me not want to try to transform this guy (If I had him)...buuut he does look dope as a jet.
Lol.
I can’t wait to get mine!
That is a REALLY cool figure.
It is
I love that you are using one of the season 3 songs :) Can't wait 4 mine.
One question is there paint on the feet/toes? My fear w/ft diecast feet is that they are painted and it chips or scraps when standing on a shelf.
The feet are diecast so yeah. Because of my ambitious posing it looks like I have a scrape on top of the foot and not the bottom. This whole figure appears to be painted. Or at least there's a glossy coat
I heard a lot of complaints about this guys transformation but he’s a fine looking figure and makes Eligos look like poo. The alt mode is stunning. The target master is a blown up and extra articulated Classics style targetmaster, I think that’s a good thing because it’s familiar. I wonder if Takara ever gets around to their version will it top this release. I don’t collect masterpiece in general but this Cyclonus makes me kinda regret I don’t...it looks so slick and has a presence.
It's awesome. Trust me if Takara Tomy does release it, it might be close to freaking $300 with their price gouging
Late to the game...just got mine today. First video I looked up was this one!
That's because you're smart!
Where are you getting the season 3 music from? The "Ratbat" theme wasn't on the recent restored score release. I love that track.
Google. But seriously.
Great review bro. I love the figure and this video does him justice. Did he come packaged in botmode or plane mode? Take care. Roy
Fans Toys are always in Robot mode.
It almost like a puzzle. Someone should do a tournament, who could mount it first.
I fixed it
For those who don't know, "Escrima" is a Filipino martial art involving fighting with rattan or bamboo sticks. so Nightstick/Escrima = Clever!
Oooh. Nice!
Jobby been slacking...I got a good lol from that
😁
I got this back in April and I had him done with a new custom paint job and you can find the photos on Shaundiesel's Botty Shop on facebook
I still believe UT Challenger is the overall better bot. This might be second place this year, though.
Knees are diecast also.
I mention that
@@TMan978 Ah I missed that part. I just heard you say you thought more was. Either way, awesome video as always.
The only reason I want this one is because of the IDW form. It would probably be a one off piece since it wouldn't scale well with much besides tailgate. :/
Which Tailgate?
@@TMan978the maketoys one 😁 the one you couldn't find in this video lol
He's too lil to be honest
@@TMan978 nooo 😭
I think tailgates should be at least small deluxe class
I'm thinking I will wait to see if FT fixes that cockpit.
Look at my latest upload. The fix is simple as hell.
He should have been so much larger than this, though. Like he should have been about the size of DX9 Gewalt. I know the cartoon shows his to be about the same height as Galvatron but more often he is shown in comparison to others as larger than average, at least in height. Because He is slender, muscular, the right physique, think of a brute strength kinda guy, whereas this makes him look a bit puny. I still like it but I disagree with the size they went for. He obviously cannot go toe-to-toe with Ultra Mgnus or pin him to a wall. So that makes this stature completely unbelievable compared to his capabilities in the cartoon. IMO, there is still a need for Unique Toys or Toyworld to do him as a more imposing character.
I always saw him as shorter and Ultra Magnus
Hey T Man
Don’t cut Quietus!!
Why you can’t get the cockpit down,
I transformed him twice no issues and couldn’t figure out how people where doing it wrong
transform the cockpit and pin that in place, then the legs and then transformer the arms/wings. It’s the partly due to the slider/pins holding the wings/arms.
Enjoy 🤙
I have an update video Link in the description
He comes in robot mode out the box, right? Don't feel like spending half a day transforming a figure.
Yes. If he was in vehicle mode he probably wouldn't have had that cockpit problem. And I definitely wouldn't have tortured myself changing him from robot to jet.
Nice!
sweet!
I feel bad for X-transbots as they usually make good MP figures but it always seems that Fanstoys always surpass them.
I have to watch a review on that guy again to see which one I think is better. I definitely think the FT one looks better.
There are things I like about both. I actually think Eligos gets more right in bot mode than Quietus, apart from the chunky lower legs that is. The jet mode is a bit bloated by comparison, but then it it sometimes appeared that way in the cartoon. To be honest FT had years to improve on XTB's design and finish and while good, it's still not the perfect toon Cyclonus. I've bought one to go with Eligos though, so I can have the best of both worlds. Just waiting on a FT Scourge and an XTB Galvatron now.
Yeah, what Chris Gould said. :)
whats with the "flip out pegs" really, some of them i understand but others like those on the thrusters inside his legs didnt need to be "articulated"
Super true. Maybe fanstoys thought they would break
@@TMan978 given how much space some sections have vailable in both modes, i still think there could have been made bigger and have an sturdier BASE , whateer, they still made them this way so is not like it can be changed now
Next time we have a movie day with the guys I will call you or message you and ask what movie what you would like to see old or new it you don’t mind coming
Did you see Venom yet
Where did you buy him from?
I have a friend who I buy from. I usually never know where he gets the stuff but he gets it for a cheaper price
@ 27:13 What's the music?
Its called Space by Kevin MacLeod
@@TMan978 Thanks. 👍
where do you get clear backed symbols?
Toyhax
What was Cyclonus in the G1 movie? Also, it’s me Samsformers I changed meh YT name...
Not sure what you mean by what was he.
I’m pretty sure he was a ‘tracker’
That was Scourge
Oh.
Now I remember Cyclonus had the armada.
Swivel here
And here! And here! And here!
I associate that music with Jobby whenever I hear it
Did you see my little message when the music came up
@@TMan978 yep, Jobby be slackin
Where's his Casper white boyfriend?
