Disgust into Love: The Story of Tailgate and Cyclonus

[@KadenKenz]

Whirl: the biggest Cygate supporter.

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

Yep! Who knew the goofy murder hobo had it in him? :3

[@KadenKenz]

@@SonicRooncoPrime He's the best hobo with firearms and a crazy bloodlust. :-)

[@Kaon_45]

He would start World War 3 so he could see them kiss

[@cinders-xs2zn]

The best psycho wingman award goes to……….. (drumroll please) WHIRL!!!!!

[@AnnaTarouBrasil]

Whirl: o maior apoiador do Cygate.

[@46Ran-ga]

i dont know what to love more: the crescendo of their relationship (and their friendship with whirl), the increasingly overpowered twists the writers employ to avoid the burial of the gays, cyclonus giving rodimus a lil sweet as hell thank you kiss, or whirl getting arrested 84 times and the lads deciding the best way to make him stop continuously committing felonies or at least keep an eye on him is to just have him as their queerplatonic/romantic housemate

[@selensewar]

This video has opened my eyes on some personal problem i've had for years. I'm not "incapable of loving", i'm just looking for a particular set of qualities within a person, and failed to do so yet. My every attempt at a relationship was out of a severe desire to have one, and out of fear that the next chance might never come. This is why i never felt anything, not because i'm inherently broken. And i might as well keep trying instead of giving up. Thank you.

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

Yes, you should absolutely keep trying! There's over 7 billion people to choose from after all, you're bound to find someone for you eventually! I'm glad this video was able to help you, thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[@jakeutage374]

I hope you find your future partner

[@Murakilok]

I know there isn't much context to your situation in the comment, but it moved me. There's so many people on this planet, and depending on what your preferences are, someone might fill that roll one day. But also remember, no human is perfect. You aren't, and your partner won't be either. This doesn't mean you should lower your standards, but you have to accept the highs and lows of life. It takes work, communication, and flexability to maintain a relationship. So many people just walk out on their partners these days for the silliest of things. We all must humble ourselves, or else no bond will form. Don't give up! 😊

[@selensewar]

@@Murakilok thank you. I hope you are doing well in life and are safe.

[@cinders-xs2zn]

I just started the comics- this video gave me the inner peace of knowing that Cyclonus and Tailgate will have their happy ending. So glad Whirl got some love too. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

[@jetseekers]

The whole reason I jumped at a Generations Tailgate at a collectors store a while ago

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

I'm glad you liked him and this relationship so much!!

[@jetseekers]

@@SonicRooncoPrime yeah. Now I just gotta get Generations Whirl to shout 'Gaaaay' at them.

[@domincjaxd355]

Finally! My boys Cyclonus and Tailgate deserve more love from the fandom. I love this!

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

I'm happy to hear it, I hope they get that extra love too! But who knows, maybe they have enough love from each other~

[@docsavage4921]

One of my favorite trinities, with Whirl. Does has some issues, Cyclonus going from threatening Whirl and beating up Tailgate to the romantic who mutilated himself when he thought Tailgate was dying and invited Whirl to live with them didn't feel completely organic to me. Granted, nowhere near as bad as Megatron going pacifist because he only just learned people die in wars. 😀 But the "You're pathetic" *Kick* still lingers against the 180 turn, and the fact Whirl nearly got Tailgate killed when trying to off Cyclonus, which they both never learn about, casts a serious pall over the happy "3s company" ending where they all live together. But still, the good by far outweighs the nitpicks. Cyke's talk with Whirl alone during the DJD timeout and prep was heartwarming.

[@DragonmanX90]

With Whirl; I think some part of him realizes that each of those two needs the other to keep them grounded; lest they become a similar kind of unhinged that he descended to after his empurata and time as a conscripted soldier. I really need to read the works; the new takes on some of these characters is fascinating.

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

That's a really interesting take, thank you! I think he does probably see part of himself in Cyclonus but never considered the same for Tailgate. I hope you read these comics, they're great!

[@wolfyblackknight8321]

It's definitely worth the read.

[@R4ang3rGh0st]

My favorite ship in the entire series Whirl is the captain of S.S.CYGATE

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

Perfectly said, thank you!!

[@R4ang3rGh0st]

@@SonicRooncoPrime your welcome

[@teejaykaye]

YEESSSS I love seeing people talk about these guys! I love them so much they mean everything to me 😊

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

Thank you for your kind comment, I hope this video was to your liking! :D

[@ray80082]

I've yet to read the comics, but art of these two kept popping up in my feed lately, so I had to know their story. Thank you for putting this all together, so now I'm not confused when I see fan art of them lol.

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

Where were you seeing that art? Either way, I'm glad this was helpful to you, this comment makes me really happy! Thank you very much, I hope you like the pairing of these two too! :D

[@whoknows7337]

These two are absolutely my favorite part of IDW right after Autobot Megatron, thank you for the video

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

I'm glad to hear it, thank you so much for watching it! I'm 2/2/ for your favorite IDW characters now, huh? I'll try and make you proud with my next video too!

[@KarolKaru]

YESSS THEM!! THEM

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

Thank you so much for saying that! I was so worried I wouldn't do them justice! And I really love Whirl as their wingman too. He fits them both so well :3

[@nediojon749]

Whril he might be a big bag of insanity but damn he’s one hell of a matchmaker

[@Donovan_Neptune]

Amazing video!! I just recently finished MTMTE and Lost Light and I'm absolutely in love with the story and characters from it even though I had not consumed any Transformers content beforehands. Cyclonus became one of my faves (along with Rung and Megatron) and his relationship with Tailgate especially on rereads is so intriguing and heartfelt. I would love to see a video on Chromedome and Rewind's relationship at some point if you're interested in doing one on them too

[@shishineraoiba]

Wtf THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS I DIDN'T KNOW THEM BUT NOW THEY HAVE AN IRREPLACEABLE PLACE IN MY HURT THANK FOR THE VIDEO

[@commandermanto2202]

This is such a good summary. I'm sending this to all the friends I rant about Transformers to, lol.

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

That makes me so happy! Thank you so much for liking this video so much! This really makes my day and I hope your friends are (or become) Transformers fans too!! :D

[@jayc6894]

My Kingdom Cyclonus w/ IDW head and my Maketoys Tailgate will stay displayed together forever

[@fraybirch1930]

I'm binging your videos right now because I finished LL 2 days ago and I'm missing all the characters. Also you DID do Megatron justice. I will give a chance to whatever comes from Transformers in the future but what IDW created is my cannon.

Always weirded me out that it was one of the oldest transformers with one of the mentally youngest

[@fishpop]

2:38 Picclo/Gohan flashbacks there...

[@ThatOneDutchie]

This is so adorable Why are transformers couples cuter than any other couples

[@theJumpJumpStation]

I love these two, they always make me happy I make some animations about them but often times I make simpatico content (Simpatico essay? please?)

[@robotyaoiloverehe]

Whirl reads a lot of romance comics, definitely.

[@beard3451]

I love these IDW video essays you do, especially for someone who has not read the comic. Thank you! An idea for a future one, if you are interested: Would you be able to do a video on IDW Soundwave's redemption arc? I love Soundwave, and I would enjoy seeing how he became a hero. EDIT: I meant that I PERSONALLY have not read the comic. Not implying that you have not read the comic, as you clearly have!

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

No worries, I got what you meant :) And thank you for such a kind comment! I've been thinking about making a video for Soundwave too! His redemption takes a different route, but I didn't want to talk about it right after discussing Megatron's. I'm glad there's an audience for it though, thank you again!

[@beard3451]

@@SonicRooncoPrime Oh sweet! You responded to my comment! Thank you! Indeed, Soundwave is a fan favorite character for many, and it would be nice to see about the first version that showed him in a positive light. Also, I wanted to ask if you saw my comment on your Megatron Redemption video? It has a link to a great AMV using Manga-based illustrations about IDW Megatron. I would recommend checking it out.

[@fgl8044]

Please talk about Lug and Anode! They kinda helped me understand my own emotions and ideals ^^

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

That's so cool, I'm so glad they helped you do that! I'll add them to the list! They do have a very sweet dynamic :3

[@idkwhattoputhere-g1j]

8:43 Tbf, Arcee × Aileron and Cyclonus × Tailgate are quite similar in a few ways.

[@levitator45]

By the end I was also shipping Whirl and Cyclonus. Hope Whirl can join in and they can be a throuple
