Mann! I just got the ft-10 Sovereign today and am so blown away by fanstoys now, that Quietus with the Hydra are an absolute must have for me. As always Great Review.

[@TMReviews]

Thanks

[@jeremynelson7920]

I'm sorry but Fans Toys Galvatron blows that one out of the water. And FT Cyclonus is made to scale with their Galvatron. Cyclonus is supposed to be taller than Galvatron.

[@TMReviews]

Ill have to pick it up and do a comparison. I wasn't a fan of the cannon legs being on the back of the arms for FT. But I'll give it a fair shake.

[@capencowl]

Thanks for doing this comparison video so we could see how they actually look compared to each other in good lighting. I was really set on just keeping Eligos and not getting the Quietus due to the bigger more imposing look of Eligos, but after seeing your video and I had to get Quietus too for the sleek and beautiful look. I’m still keeping Eligos though, just never transforming him again 😜

[@TMReviews]

Glad I could help

[@lowellmartens6135]

Didn't see anyone answer this yet, the peg hole on the cockpit is for plugging in a sword in his robot mode. Thanks for the review. I've been waiting for a good comparison between the Fans Toys and X-Transbots versions. I just received my copy of Quietus and couldn't be happier.

[@TMReviews]

Oh that makes sense. Appreciate the comments.

[@jeremynelson7920]

I plug the purple gun in there so he can carry it on his back.

[@luispena4142]

Sorry but fanstoys galvatron is way better then the dx9

[@kaizen209]

True, others might have beaten you to the punch, but you have your own style. keep up the good work...

[@TMReviews]

That means a lot thanks!

[@DanielGreen07]

Really enjoy your channel 👍 need this guy and sovereign

[@TMReviews]

Thanks man appreciate it.

[@josephroberts8493]

I just got my Quietus yesterday and i love it, i think its 1 of my favorite figures in my collection but i still like the Eligos version still a good figure

[@TMReviews]

Eligos is still pretty good, Im just a one figure kind of collector so I only keep the version I like most.

[@josephroberts8493]

@@TMReviews Same here, im gonna try and sell Eligos if i can

[@TMReviews]

@@josephroberts8493 I sold it pretty low due to damage, looks like the going rate is $100 shipped

[@optimasprimal1987]

Was he packaged in jet mode or robot mode?

[@josephroberts8493]

@@optimasprimal1987 They are both sold in robot mode

[@Snowmation]

Very sexy bit of kit! Really digging the sleek look of the alt mode.

[@TMReviews]

Agreed

[@Senbonsakuraink]

Thanks bro. It's exactly what I was looking for. :)

[@johnwilliams-nz3um]

I have Eligos, but I like the sleeker design of Quietus better. Hopefully I will get mine for Christmas for myself. Both have their strong and weak points. I just wished FT covered the head and hands in alt mode!!

[@TMReviews]

I hear you. I decided a long time ago to keep just one of each character for budgetary reasons, so Eligos had to go. I think we can always get something better tho (eg MP-1, MP-10, and now the new one), so who knows.

[@DADooWALKER]

Just got mine today...”never a fan of the Fanstoys collectors cards”...what!?!?! I thought your lover them.

[@TMReviews]

Did I say that? I might have been referring to the image on the front being a render instead of artwork like TT, but I do love them lol,

[@jeremynelson7920]

The 2 ports in the back of vehicle mode are fore the targetmaster's feet to plug in. I had to clean away some of the plastic just like I you have to for the cockpit to fit right

[@TMReviews]

Oh thanks, let me go try it out. Didn't look like it fit initially.

[@jeremynelson7920]

@@TMReviews yeah i watched other reviewers try to put the targetmaster in there but it wouldn't fit so when I got mine I said hey the holes are shaped like the targetmaster's feet. Mine wouldn't fit so I looked and the holes where they plug in aren't cut out straight there are tiny bits of plastic in there that makes what would be a smooth shape into a kinda of jagged on the inside.

[@kohnfutner9637]

This dude, Quietus, looks really good next to DX9's Chigurh. They're probably exactly the same skinniness and size. They look like imperial guards.

[@TMReviews]

Interesting, I never bought chigurh, but i see him for cheap now on eBay. Maybe should pick it up. The robot mode never looked right to me tho.

[@gmjr30]

I like the beef.

[@TMReviews]

Lots of people do.

[@TAURON85]

I know the guy who's responsible for the artwork. He showed me some sketches of the upcoming box arts. Sadly I can't share them.

[@TMReviews]

Cool, wish I had the talent.

[@Tyrantcx9]

Quietus wins for me Eligos looked cheap to me EDIT: I ALWAYS FORGOT WHAT I WILL SAY/COMMENT It was my first time seeing a Diecast Joints

[@TMReviews]

Eligos was actually more expensive at retail, go figure.

[@aaronmauer7225]

My favorite part in alt mode is the qc sticker

[@TMReviews]

Lol

[@1977jaysmith]

If you want to see transformation go see Bobby Skullface

[@TMReviews]

Or tman978

[@UnChannelDuVulpineX]

I never use ham hands as a transformation guide. He appears to figure it out as he's going and often breaks figures. Paik4life's guides are excellent, plus he transforms the figure both ways.

[@TMReviews]

Paik is also pretty good, I've been doing transformation more often now but back when I did this video I was skipping it to shorten videos..

[@PopePlatinumBeats]

they both look good to me.... but next to galvatron... Eligos looks to bulky... i like the sleeker quietus.... but everyone likes what they like... no one is wrong when it comes to opinion

[@TMReviews]

Same here

[@daimons7261]

Personally I like xtransbots better. He is supposed to be noticeably larger than galvatron which the FT one isn't. Both are toon accurate, but the Eligos more so for me. FTs width and hieght dont measure up scale wise. In addition the FT one needs to drink more energon protien shakes cause hes to thin. I Personally only display mine for scale purposes I had to go Eligos, he looks more imposing and that's how it should be. Plus he matches up better to my MP22 Magnus better.

[@TMReviews]

That is the great thing about third party, we have choices!

[@mangagod]

anyone else NOT have to shave down the peg? i was lucky that mine came without any of those issues

[@TMReviews]

So far every review I have seen had the problem, guess you got lucky

Hi There I am Iohannes the author of the latest Fanstoys artboxes. I would like to thank you about the Quietus youtube review when you have mentioned my artbox. I am happy to know that you like it. This is my Dart Page: www.deviantart.com/whelljeck. Enjoy!

[@TMReviews]

Cool, thanks for watching and commenting. I checked your page on deviant, very nice work.

[@sandrosoriahidalgo1243]

hello friend, very good video and for my Xtransbots is the winner by far, its engineering is better in both modes and its targedmaster has a clean design, this time fanstoys did not do a good job, the painting of chest and knees comes off easily, it is a weak figure, its alternate mode is the robot and hands and finally its targedmaster is a crap with that cannon that makes robot fall on his back, the last figures of fanstoys are not good and that we must have clear .

[@TMReviews]

Thanks man. I'm hoping Fanstoys picks back up this year.

[@optimasprimal1987]

Was he packaged in jet mode or robot mode?

[@TMReviews]

Robot mode...I can't remember a fanstoys figure that didn't come in robot mode.

[@Ecybertron9521]

Xtransbot destroys the fantoys IMO... Way more beefy n would look much better next to mp ultra Magnus 🤷

[@sandrosoria2911]

Xtransbots es el ganador, su ingeniería es mejor en ambos modos y targedmaster tiene un diseño limpio, esta vez fanstoys no hizo un buen trabajo, la pintura de pecho y de las rodillas se desprende con facilidad, es una figura endeble, su modo alterno se ve el robot y manos y por último su targedmaster es una mierda con ese cañón que hace que robot se caiga de espaldas.

[@TMReviews]

Sorry, I don't speak Spanish. Thanks for watching tho!

[@ViewpointProd]

Thoes hands are terrible

[@OmarZorrillaLlerena]

man you became blind, over all with beside DX9 Galvatron, I think XTB looks a lot better

[@TMReviews]

It's all in the eye of the beholder, I prefer the Fans Toys version, but I can see why some would prefer Eligos. Get what you like, thanks for watching!

[@johnlant1730]

Eligos is good. Maybe fans toys is better but you made Eligos seem like a real POS. I don’t agree.

[@TMReviews]

It's not a POS, it's just made at a time when third party quality and engineering wasn't at the level it's at now. I think it's a somewhat unfair comparison because it was good at the time.

[@loviebrownlow6983]

this dude is so biased its not even funny! Fans toys fan boy all the way!
