Fans Toys QUIETUS (Cyclonus): EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@lambda494]

Probably one of the coolest Decepticons of all time. He looks fantastic.

[@Allhailthesith]

FACTS

[@TaliaIGhul]

Cyclonus was like the anti-Starscream. Where Starscream tries to usurp Megatron's rule, Cyclonus on the other hand, you'd have to blow-torch his lips off of Galvatron's butt. lol

[@TaliaIGhul]

@@naturesfinest4871 Interesting. Though actually, if Starscream was in the same situation as Cyclonus, Starscream would have probably saw Megatron's madness as an opportunity to take over the Decepticons like he saw Megatron being near death's door in Transformers The Movie as an opportunity to take over the Decepticons. Cyclonus thought he was doing what he thought was right for his leader to get help so he could better lead the Decepticons. He even went so far as to stick around to check his leader's progress. Cyclonus is actually showing how loyal he was, albeit, he was deceived by the doctors in that alien asylum.

[@viowave]

Cyclonus pretty much like Thundercracker is a soldiers soldier. A warrior with a code of honour, loyalty and duty for its master. Which really came to surface in the IDW thing, but is often seen in G1. I do think Cyclonus often bashed his head ... for 'recuing' Galvatron from his plasma bath. Yet he doesn't seek leadership like Starscream did - although he had so much potential to be even better than Galvatron. Loyalty and trust are two different things. Yes, he's bound to Galvatron, but I doubt he trust Galvatron due his instable mind. Hence why he took him to the clinic. Well and in the end ... Galvatron was back... destroying the planet.... like he should with all its potential.:)

[@Anakunus]

@@viowave I could not have described him better myself - and those traits are exactly why he is my favourite Deception ever. He is loyal and smart, and also always more concerned about the welfare of the Decepticons than his own welfare.

[@metroplexgrimlock7089]

@@viowave wonder if Cyclonus would like a copy of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu

[@nostalgicdouchebag1912]

Galvatron: I have a plan, I just need some money. Cyclonus: I dunno Galv... Galvatron: Have some goddamn faith Cyclonus!!!

Poor Cyclonus, contracted a fatal case of cosmic rust from debt collecting for Swindle :(

The hip panels can be used in jet mode to hide the visible hands underneath the jet.

[@tisaacs4487]

Cyclonus, the warrior. And his armada.

[@sivalon1]

[@emjay2586]

Man, the transformation with the nose is pretty ingenious, looks kinda fiddly but for the slimness of the backpack, totally worth it!

[@HewhoTalkswithTics]

One of these times, he's gonna spin a figure, and we're all going to laugh and wince as he dives after it from behind the camera to catch it from falling off the table.

[@ZombiWorkshop]

Is this magic? I'm looking at the small attention to details like the shorter wings in bot mode, the curve on the back of the legs and how nicely the cone slides into his chest... I'm just saying... some voodoo is at play here, right?

[@jacobriley-duddin7382]

Pretty much you are saying he is thicc

[@thomashollingshead015]

I love the transformation. Fans Toys could have just given him an ugly backpack, but they were so creative with it and made the toy look very clean. Kudos.

[@mrrobot474]

Finally emgo been waiting for this review I was planning to buy this figure awesome review btw

[@kdisley]

1:00 "The stoic Quietus' tools are cunning and fear. And ruthless efficiency-- wait, his THREE main tools are cunning, and fear, and ruthless efficiency... and an almost-fanatical devotion to the Pope. His FOUR main tools are-- hang on, umm...

I just love the metallic paint that is used!!😍😍

[@pylesjellydonut7785]

I was expecting him to go shush for the intro

[@dalzmac83]

On a side note: FT-Sovereigns flight stand goes quiet well with Quietus too. With some creative thinking.

[@BoozyBeggar]

I watched this specifically to see if the underoos plate is supposed to come off. I thought mine was a QC issue. Is there a real reason the codpiece needs to be not superglued or something on?

[@devildogpaul]

Thanks for the Xtransbot and FT side to side. I can see now how Quietus does look nicer as a toy but Eligos looks more like the cartoon Cyclonus imo.

[@Tsujanryo]

"Autobot-scrap!" - Galvatron ... shaking his fist behind a glowing hole in Cyclonus' hull. Yet more proof that, despite Unicron being alive, his creations were all but invincible, contrary to what the comics suggested. More proof being that one volley from Grimlock's gullet was capable of turning one of the Sweeps into a sub-atmospheric gaseous anomaly.

[@chucheeness7817]

I'm just here to gush on the IDW setup. Might be super out of scale, but looks good none the less with the rest of the crew.

[@TheDarkSparkVault]

After this guy you'd probably want to get IDW Tailgate as well to create scenes with both of them to go alongside Chromedome and Rewind.

[@Zeph101theoriginal]

I wonder if a 3rd party company will ever make a proper IDW Cyclonus? This is the third piece (including add-ons as figures) that has an "inspired' look but isn't the true look seen throughout his first appearance in Spotlight Cyclonus all the way to Lost Light 25. I just really want some of those IDW designs: the Dinobots,. Earth mode Arcee and Thundercracker. Aileron, Chromedome and Rewind, Lost Light Ratchet and Drift, Nautica, Rung. So much potential but I also wonder how much of an overlap there is between IDW comic fans and figure collectors? I have a bunch of Lost Light inspired figures and IDW Wreckers figures but that's all really.

[@reelfishing002]

The hardest thing I find with transformers is some time I can’t tell how much force to use , I feel like some parts might break (which has have in the past ) .

[@DisconnectHack]

That’s why you look for review videos first! I only use manuals after watching reviews.

[@Xpoxzy]

@@DisconnectHack EXACTLY

[@themegaroadproject3014]

Great review man. You need to force that panel down, and it will snap in. It’s only scary the first time.

[@Oheretic]

The IDW hipskirts do fit in alt-mode, but you have to take them off and swap them over to the opposite sides. There are notches in alt-mode for the tabs sticking out on the skirts, but only fit if swapped over!

[@Erik-fn7kj]

Aaaah, I NEED him for my Tailgate. I think I'm gonna get IDW Roller first though, he's not as expensive...And highly articulate! :)

[@EpykkDyzastur]

Just got Quietus and he’s pretty much perfect. Honestly, that cockpit section isn’t meant to sit flush, only almost flush. It’s quite an amazing figure!

[@dustyyshellz1320]

Not true, the tab just needs some shaving/sanding to fit in all the way

[@marcusschmitz7665]

Thanks for making me laugh! Your skits are super appreciated!

[@davidhovik7176]

Great review and awesome figure. Only thing i would of loved to see is how he looked next to MP22.

[@JasonSawyer]

One day, Megatron and Galvatron have to meet. Cyclonus and Shockwave can talk about how they hate their lives.

[@metroplexgrimlock7089]

Well that is now halfway real

[@darrenbent7601]

I agree with you EmGo, this is one of the best MP style Cyclonus's/Cyclonai. They do some wizardry there, transforming that sleek, stylish jet which looks like it couldn't fit the robot parts in it, yet it transforms into a fully toon accurate robot. Honestly, there is some black magic going there. Looks amazing, even if the transformation is rather complex, and what they did with Nightstick, one of the best Target-Master weapons ever, it did not look like just a folded up robot. It's beyond my price range, but if I could afford it, this would be the Cyclonus that I would get.

[@LS-jk3fk]

Awesome review emgo! My FansToys Quietus is on the way I'm so hyped :D

[@trevorjenkins2176]

Nightstick stops being a nightstick when he visits Chernobyl, then he becomes a Glowstick!!

[@scotttoysdevilsrcthompson9505]

File the square plug hole under the canopy slightly should fit perfect afterwards

[@schmidington]

Those IDW mods are f'in awesome!! Even if the figure didn't look so slick, those are worth the price. Flush cockpit be damned.

[@ProcyonDei]

20:04 When you see your crush walk past you.

[@Grimlock1979]

It's not just your copy. You need to file down the (square) peghole for the cockpit to sit further down.

[@SUM1SLY83]

Alway amazed me as a kid the amount of engineering in transformers to have two of more toys in one, these fans toys have an insane amount of engineering just another level, where do you even start when designing these. They should be made out of full metal though I think as it's only adults buying these to sit on a shelf, plus if paint chips it just looks battle worn or you could always just respray them.

[@skyborne80]

Aside from the rough transformation process, I think this is THEE Cyclonus to have.

[@transformersfan-zx8ow]

That looks awesome

[@anjuvashishtha5525]

They took quite an antonym of cyclonus for the name: quietus

[@M_Alex]

I think you should check a dictionary ;) (although the third definition can kinda go in this direction it also goes with the silence before the storm). According to Merriam Webster: - final settlement (as of a debt) - removal from activity , especially death - something that quiets or represses

[@MrPrimejet]

Keep up the good work emgo316

[@xeonmike]

There are some instances where the port in the cockpit is too narrow which affects the whole top section from sitting flush. Some fans would saw off the hole larger fixes the issue. Keep up the good vids!

[@Senbonsakuraink]

Love how it looks. But it’s just so slim like he’s being on a fish diet lol He can’t take on ultra Magnus like that. Transfomation doesn’t seem that much fun lol . If only x-transbots had a better face sculpt I’d go for it. Great job emgos 🤘🏼 you rock bro.

[@BIGLARRY100]

The xtb is super poorly made tho. I have it & a ratchet just fell out of his leg when I grabbed it off the shelf this week. I unscrewed his leg & put it back in right but it fell out again on 1st move. The bulky, diecast lower leg is waaaaay too heavy for the baby ratchet used. It's a joke xtb thought it would suffice & now his leg is a floppy mess. Hence why I'm watching this now. Never transformed the xtb & barely even moved it. Plus mine came w/ his arm glued in place. I had 2 take his arm apart, wrap it in towels, & turn it with pliers when new. If all that's TL/DR just buy the fans toys, it's cheaper in price AND better in quality.

[@kevinparks5220]

Same verse just as the first... thank you for the videos bud... you sir are a bad ass...

[@nucleonegro9762]

This is definetly a nice version of cyclonus

[@dalzmac83]

Awesome review again as always mate. But I wouldn't expect anything less. Though I must say, what the hell happened to Quietus' chest? Did you go at it with a belt sander? 😄 Keep up the great work mate. 👍

Cyclonus may want to book another stay on Torkulon.

[@mrlosangeles2.062]

This a much better masterpiece cyclonus

[@MrTheMighty]

Oohhhh man, this guy looks awesome!

[@Chrisp1811]

To transform him wt his idw side Armer on you keep them plugged into his hips and they cover his hands up in alt mode. There're peg holds on the side of his legs that the Armer will pegs into. You use the front side of the Armer to plug into his legs. It rely doesn't look to bad eather.

[@HavardCastiglioni]

Looks like Cyclonus happens to be Megatron's fighter plane from the 1986 transformers movie

[@danielball5261]

I was wondering if you were going to catch that on the arm. Cool review

[@jsbordone]

I love everything about this figure, except I wish he was purple like the kingdom version.

[@poppy-77]

Please do a multi part video of your favorite version of each individual transformer.

[@spritemon98]

It honestly looks better with the cockpit not flushed it adds some depth and detail

[@martinefrensoquigomez7835]

Did Cyclonus have them angry brows in the cartoon?

[@liegelord1971]

The hip pieces could be stored below jet mode covering the exposed fists.... genious indeed

[@theautobotmechanic419]

10:50 would that because of the slider that the cockpit sits on not in the right spot

[@emgo316]

they're in the right spot.

[@audrisampson]

Are all the new transformers releases so complicated to transform? As far as this figure he looks amazing. Cyclonus is my favorite transformer so it is awesome to see him portrayed so well.

[@jalengatton]

If you want good figures that transform easily, look into SS86 or Legacy

[@sam0guyver]

Mines the same seen some people shave a tiny bit of the tab and then it sits flush

[@natsu2010]

I wish this as model for siege and earthrise series but in wave with Galvatron.

[@KerzacTransformed]

I think X Transbots looks more cartoon accurate, but the Fans Toys one looks more like a Masterpiece, kind of like MP10

[@Tangyc9]

The coloration of XTB is accurate but the skinnyness of FT is cartoon accurate

[@MentasmUK]

@@Tangyc9 Depends which episode of the cartoon!

[@cietalvon6850]

you should get some flight stands for these kinds of toys. especially when they are as detailed as this guy!

[@BLACKVVAR]

Lots of people including myself are having paint scratch issues on the chest. This is an issue FT need to address and fix. As for the cockpit not sitting flush, you need to carve away a little bit of the plastic around that square piece that the cockpit tabs onto.

[@iamtheomnimonkey]

This is the 1st I've heard about issues with the paint. None of the reviews I've watched or read mentioned it. I don't think it's that widespread. I've transformed mine several times with no paint issues.

[@BLACKVVAR]

@@iamtheomnimonkey There are enough reports on tfw2005.

[@MentasmUK]

Lots of people have reported it on forums. We're talking about customers with the product in hand, not a handful of internet reviewers. Mine was scratched out of the box FFS, as was the paint on the stomach. Paint on die cast is just asking to chip, particularly given how the knees hit it in alt mode. This and the other QC issues are really disappointing.

[@leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347]

[@richardgreenleaf3259]

@@emgo316 Well, you are the skit master so you should know. Though show wise I wonder which really drove Galvatron mad. Unicron's numerous mental tortures (not to mention swallowing him alive), Rodimus litterally throwing him head first through Unicron's chest and halfway across the galaxy, or that plasma bath on Thull. He certainly didn't seem that unstable when the movie ended, but was certainly gone when Cyclonus and the Sweeps found him on Thuul. But can't really rule the other two out as being the cause. Megatron came up with a lot of crazy ideas, but he always seemed to have his mental facalties there.

[@acoote1701]

The prank that Galvatron is likely to do would be fill a bot's hatches full of Energon goodies and shove them into a Sharkticon pit

[@player3productions502]

why is he called quietus?

[@companylovesmisery1463]

The transformation is pretty cool, it's a shame about the weapon "storage" in vehicle mode. Ah the days when weapons were well concealed in robot AND alt modes... yes the "spring-loaded" Beast Wars figures like Rattrap actually had better storage options than almost any Transformers today. See Peru Kill, pretty much any iteration of Optimus from the recent live-action movies, or of course this figure for the ol' "stick-the-weapons-on-top" storage. Bleh. But yes, this figure is cool, I like how the long, garish nosecone folds up nicely, and the engineering that allows the jet wings to compact so well. The metalic coloring is nice too.

[@TChighbury]

Pronounced Sy-clone-us or Sy-clonn-us? I always thought the latter.
