For years the fandom has asked: “who became Cyclonus?” But now the true scholar Gavin brings us the real question: “who did Cyclonus become?” The cosmic mystery remains unsolved.
But Gaaaaaavin, niche Japanese only characters make my collection look sophisticated and I can pull out my Chris McFeely impression to act smart about something I have no knowledge of! 😮
Its a nice toy, just doesn't feel as premium as Cyclonus. I do wish they'd used some translucent plastic on the canopy...and made him a bit less gappy...and given him landing gear...and made him purple and given him horns...yeah, I still prefer Cyclonus!
I wasn't too sure how I'd feel about Metalhawk, especially as a Cyclonus retool, but in my hands it's pretty nice. Good shapes with good superhero friendly colours kind of does it for me. While I haven't watched Masterforce yet, I suppose if I were to pick a character from there that wasn't Ginrai or Overload, Metalhawk would be it, 'cos why not?
I could understand the Decepticon "Pretenders " being a combination of the monster and robot, but the Autobot "Pretenders" are just...well...a Transformer. I thought of a way to make new Autobot Pretenders for Legacy that would switch things up: Make the robot be piloted by a human. The idea would be that some humans wanted to join the fight against the Deceptions so they built transforming robot and hide inside them PRETENDING to be Transformers. Even in vehicle mode, you don't see the human pilots because they want to hide the fact that they are humans piloting the Transformer. Oh well, anyway, once again great review. I have thought about getting this one too.
I've quite liked him. Got a good stoic look. Does them quiet yet heroic hero poses well. Does feel an awful lot like they were cutting back a bit on the budget though. Just a few little things were he's more simple than Cyclonus and lacking a few finishing touches.
Now I often wonder if this is also a subtle nod to a BotCon concept where they wanted to use the Universe (2008) Cyclonus in Black Shadow colors (representing him from Shattered Glass)? Jesse Wittenrich can tell you more about it.
0:43, but srsly...isn't it?!! (zoom into Cyclonus' face) 0:59, but..isn't it?!! (zooms in on Metalhawk's face) 1:28, but....isn't he?!! God, I love that joke of yours. XD
I think what I like the most about cyclonus was his nosecone and arm transformation. to see that they were simplified is a shame since being a retool of cyclonus doesn’t automatically make it good unless it took the better aspects of it yknow. Idk
i just got an idea, with the lack of paint aps and details on the figures (and as a part time transformers collector on top of being a gunpla collector) i think it would be a genius idea to panel line certain transformers figures
He's just so shiny. In a cheap-plastic kind-of way, rather than a fancy-metal kind-of way. After disliking Jhiaxus solely because of the plastic used, I know I can't get this. I'd hate it.
Unfortunately I ended up with the QC nightmare that was the Generation selects Cyclonus and don't feel like sourcing the normal one so even if this ones lesser I'll probably end up feeling better about it. I happen to like custard yellow so that's a plus at least lol.
I definitely share your every opinion about this retool of a figure that was awesome. The paint is boring and makes this long awaited release not much fun. It feels very unfinished. I want to return it. I passed on tarn in the wild a couple of days before I found metal hawk in the wild and I kinda regret it. 🤦♂️
Titans Return Metalhawk is surprisingly easy to get in Mexico, but every time I see it I ask myself... Do I really want it? Sadly, every time the coin lands ln "yes" I can't afford it. Oh well, I may get this to properly paint the jet blue.
Tbh I'm surprised you don't love his sword, I know its a bland grey colour but the shape of it reminds me of those Masters of the Universe weapons, especially since it has the random tube
Tbh, when I was a kid [REDACTED] years ago, my Transformer collection consisted of Go-Bots and minibots like Cliffjumper and Seaspray (for a while I wondered when there was going to be a new figure of my favourite Transformer, Pathfinder... only to find out that she was a Go-Bot) and a couple of car Transformers that I then ate the tyres off (I did that to all of the toys I had up until I was seven when my stepdad convinced me not to by making me eat some dogfood and potato skins he was "cooking" for his dog*).... AND I didn't even know Optimus Prime came back to life (like Jesus did) until I was twenty-seven, [REDACTED] years ago. But I still pre-ordered this figure that I will no doubt see going for seven and a half pence the next time I click onto Kapow. I only know he is a thing because I watch too much Mcfeely and Toys Are Russ videos for my own good.... if you had told me there was a Transformer called Metalhawk a few years ago, I would have presumed you were getting confused and thinking of Silverhawks or some band or whatever but I would have, crucially, not mentioned it out loud, because I am polite and I don't have the fucking time for that kind of thing, you know? ...My daughter has the POTP thing, but she uses the cube inside to change good Transformers into bad guys (and tbh, it upsets me when I watch her playing games in which the bad guys always win, is that the result of this wreck of a world we have crreated? Does it mean she is going to grow up a twnety-four carat headcaselike her father? I just don't know bab)... Any way, I pre-ordered this figure, probably because I am some kind of terminal fool, the kind of idiot that lives on their own yet is surprised every time they see that tea cup in the bathroom and wonders why it hasn't been put in the kitchen sink to be washed up, the kind of fumbling wally that looks for someone to blame when they trip over their own boots that they left in the reception area of their flat (look, I'm not getting into it too much, but its not a hallway, something mad happened when they made my flat, they gave me a reception area instead of a hall and gave me a hall instead of a kitchen, but stil put the kitchen sink in there, so where you would normally have a hallway leading to the rooms of the flat, there is a square that leads to a bedroom, a living room and two halls, one with the worlds shallowest bath in it and the other with a kitchen sink and twice as many plug sockets as the rest of the flat combined okay? Bloody council!... and they say I have a personality dsorder?! Checky rassclarts), so I ordered this figure and basically its cack. It looks like something from one of the madder sections of Sir Toys, I wouldn't have been surprised if it had come in a blister pack with "Marvel Akshion Figure" in a slightly blurred type on the front and a depressing grey void on the back. My daughter is nine, she is more sophisticated than I am, less prone to meltdowns and grumpiness than I and she says he is "mid", I have heard Anthony Fantanoa say that a few times, I think its like "meh".... either way, its not a ringing endorsement is it? Mid-ranged, middle-of-the-road, the (correctly hated) middleclasses of middle England, etc...God I hate me, I should have taken to drinking during the lockdowns instead of collecting Transformers, at least with alcoholism I could forget that I exist for great periods of time instead of being constantly confronted with my own loss and inadequacies every time I see two people holding hands be it on the rare occaisions I go out or the rare occasions I can stomach a watching a television programme that isn't Minder or a cartoon and I wouldn't have brought this, its pants, it looks cheap, loads of corners have been cut to inflate the profitability of the figure and its just crap,...but still, he does make an excellent display stand for Shattered Glass Optimus Prime, who rests his foot on the back of this dweebs head. ....anyone else think that the price they are asking for the Omega Sentinal is a bit of a piss take? *No, I don't why anyone would cook dogfood and potato skins together for their dog, I just don't, I am also aware that this is not a thing people should make children do.

Still, tbh, I would have preferred to have eaten dog food and potato skins than the "smacks" and having to drag a coal bucket that came up to my own waist up the drive whilst he called me "wet" and a "pansy" for not being able to lift the bucket/tub of coal off the floor.
Chris sure knows his stuff! And yeah, this figure isn't really doing anything for me. That not really gold and all that ugly grey... I'll stick with the fantastic Cyclonus, thanks
I think this figure is kind of hurt by being a Cyclonus remold, because it does none of the cool shit that Cyclonus does. Cyclonus's arms become _so_ seamless when in jet mode, I mean obviously if you know they're the arms you know they're the arms but the whole thing barely looks like it even transforms. The nosecone fuckery is amazing as well. Meanwhile from what I can gather looking at this thing in jet mode the arms are just raised up and sit there hanging out for all to see without even trying to blend in with the rest of the jet mode, the nosecone thing is severely reduced from the change of the mold, and overall the jet mode just kind of looks like a chunky mess in comparison. The colours, while I assume accurate to the character (minus yellow instead of gold) don't help either.
To be honest, I'm not sure what to think of it. On one hand I REALLY like the robot mode (even if the yellow isn't as good looking as the original gold). And them you get to the jet mode..... And, well, the look alone isn't that bad, but the Blue and Grey of the figure just doesn't work for me that much. Also, the accesories could REALLY use some work. Like, why is this Grey plastic that "meh" ?
I think you forgot to mention that this is the first time Hasbro have released a Japanese Transformers character in the West. Also, I was expecting the special guest star to be Artfire. 🙁
I gotta be honest I actually thought he was a knockoff. That yellow body just isn't cutting it for me. Shoudn't it be the other way around with red with yellow accents? Well anyway it's a good retool I guess.

Metalhawk is cool but I doubt I’ll be able to get him, along with any other figures, for a while considering how I overplayed for ss86 slug, only to almost immediately break the knee ratchets and have to buy another, even more overpriced replacement figure
40 years ago I would have loved this toy. Now it’s just a bit too bright and, I don’t know, a little much? It looks cool and like a knock off at the same time. I’m not exactly sure what’s wrong with it but something is off.
Great video! Thank you! This looks very cool, but not AMAZINGLY cool. I've come to expect Boring Grey Plastic on Transformers, but that "gold" is just disappointing. It's just . . . earwax. opefully, a lick of paint or some stickers will solve that.
a bot which greatest weackness is being the little brother of an overachiever also, irgh, those color tones really doesn't make him any favor. he looks like a bad knockoff! I know it's very close to it's original, but there's a reason if comics, adds and ancillary media always tweaked it a bit. the one time they should have gone with a greyer gray instead of full withe, and they don0t take the chanche!
I think maybe Metalhawk *feels* more like someone you should care about. Unavailability will do that to a toy/character. Of course, the badass name and the color scheme help too. I can't get a Fearswoop but who gives a fuck?

For years the fandom has asked: “who became Cyclonus?”
But now the true scholar Gavin brings us the real question: “who did Cyclonus become?”
The cosmic mystery remains unsolved.
Nice to see a zoom call between a loving father and son.
They’re related?!
He's my dad
@@TRDQ what!!? You look like the dad in this conversation
@@Toxic3610 I didn't really meet him until I was like 15 or so, I had to grow up fast.
Chris was off doing his research on Cyberton and all its colony planets for The Basics videos, he never had time for Gavin, but he's finally home
But Gaaaaaavin, niche Japanese only characters make my collection look sophisticated and I can pull out my Chris McFeely impression to act smart about something I have no knowledge of! 😮
Gavin is such a magnanimous toy mogul. He gave Chris McFeely an entire TWO letters to enunciate on screen.
Such a lad.
That slow pan out of the sword on Metalhawk's back to reveal his head facing backwards had me dying. I love the quick subtle humor in these reviews.
Chris McFeely is such a professional, but I cannot believe that he didn’t know that Cyclonus and Metalhawk were the same guy in Kiss Players!
Patchy is probably the best word I've heard to sum up that jet mode
Good shit tho, I'm subbing
I’m basically John Masterforce and the fact I can go to Walmart and buy Metalhawk makes me happy beyond belief
Thank you Gavin! I now know for sure that Metalhawk is Metalhawk, and not Cyclonus. Please never stop doing the work that needs to be done! 🙏
As a Big Idiot who loves Masterforce myself, I approve of this assessment
I love the box of approval from ol’ Chris.
Its a nice toy, just doesn't feel as premium as Cyclonus. I do wish they'd used some translucent plastic on the canopy...and made him a bit less gappy...and given him landing gear...and made him purple and given him horns...yeah, I still prefer Cyclonus!
I think this mold/transformation scheme could fit the seekers so well. Just some slight retooling and I think you have a perfect set of seekers
Gavin: That’s the last time I’ll do it….
Is it?
Metalhawk is the Arnold Rimmer of Transformers
This might be one where the Toyhax set makes you more inclined to pick up the figure itself. Always slightly worrying when that happens.
Fantastic review of Cyclonus.
I love these videos, they alway manage to make me happier after watching them.
I wasn't too sure how I'd feel about Metalhawk, especially as a Cyclonus retool, but in my hands it's pretty nice. Good shapes with good superhero friendly colours kind of does it for me. While I haven't watched Masterforce yet, I suppose if I were to pick a character from there that wasn't Ginrai or Overload, Metalhawk would be it, 'cos why not?
“I don’t think the sword is even full tang!” That killed me!!! 😂😂😂
Metalhawk, the ultimate centrist
I could understand the Decepticon "Pretenders " being a combination of the monster and robot, but the Autobot "Pretenders" are just...well...a Transformer. I thought of a way to make new Autobot Pretenders for Legacy that would switch things up: Make the robot be piloted by a human.

Oh well, anyway, once again great review. I have thought about getting this one too.
hahahaha love it. that ZOOOOOM effect was great. not overused AT ALL. this was great my man.
He certainly is a Transformer, that's for sure
Metalhawk. Fascinating.
Moving on….
Also, there goes Chris’ E-everyone rating.
I've quite liked him. Got a good stoic look. Does them quiet yet heroic hero poses well. Does feel an awful lot like they were cutting back a bit on the budget though. Just a few little things were he's more simple than Cyclonus and lacking a few finishing touches.
BIG
LEAGUES
The jet mode with those guns reminds me of Pretender Starscream…and that’s always bad
Now I often wonder if this is also a subtle nod to a BotCon concept where they wanted to use the Universe (2008) Cyclonus in Black Shadow colors (representing him from Shattered Glass)?
Jesse Wittenrich can tell you more about it.
0:43, but srsly...isn't it?!! (zoom into Cyclonus' face)

I love that you called yourself Toy Mogul lol
OH GOD, the part with Chris Mcfeely was awesome🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
0:46 CrazySexyCool? TLC? Omg
I wouldn't have known he was a Cyclonus remold from looking at him. Neat!
I think what I like the most about cyclonus was his nosecone and arm transformation. to see that they were simplified is a shame since being a retool of cyclonus doesn’t automatically make it good unless it took the better aspects of it yknow. Idk

I want big bio-mecha He-Man like modern pretenders.
He's just so shiny. In a cheap-plastic kind-of way, rather than a fancy-metal kind-of way. After disliking Jhiaxus solely because of the plastic used, I know I can't get this. I'd hate it.
Kinda glad that it ain’t gold plastic or this guy gonna end up in the air and space museum
Again a brilliant toilet break and something to help improve my day
Maybe time for a cheeky custom. Gold paint is coming out.
I'm thinking of getting this guy to round out my Autobot Pretenders.
Or AM I??
Kingdom Cyclonus was so good I got the selects version. Now a third version of it? Yes. A third one for me to buy. Dammit!
I can't believe you bothered your Dad with that call. You could have just watched his video "The Basics on How Metalhawk isn't Cyclonus"
Unfortunately I ended up with the QC nightmare that was the Generation selects Cyclonus and don't feel like sourcing the normal one so even if this ones lesser I'll probably end up feeling better about it. I happen to like custard yellow so that's a plus at least lol.
legacy’s been a good couple of months for japanese autobot/maximal leaders, hasnt it?
I feel like he pairs well with Jhiaxus as his early 90s counterpart to Metalhawks late 80s vibe.
Honestly one thing Metalhawk does better than Cyclonus is the wrists; you can bend them inwards and then down for much more dynamic sword poses
I wouldn't mind the hollow forearms if he wasn't based on a mold with perfect non hollow forearms. Feels like a step backward
I think I’ll pick up this lad, I enjoyed the Cyclonus mold to bits, I just like how that mold feels. Sorry Gav :(
I assumed Cyclonus himself to be the "very special guest star" but it looks like I "guest" wrong.
I think me and you maybe the only ones to feel this way.
I definitely share your every opinion about this retool of a figure that was awesome. The paint is boring and makes this long awaited release not much fun. It feels very unfinished. I want to return it. I passed on tarn in the wild a couple of days before I found metal hawk in the wild and I kinda regret it. 🤦♂️
It bugs me waaay more than it should that metalhawk has the exact same shoulders as cyclonus.
Titans Return Metalhawk is surprisingly easy to get in Mexico, but every time I see it I ask myself... Do I really want it? Sadly, every time the coin lands ln "yes" I can't afford it. Oh well, I may get this to properly paint the jet blue.
This one definitely need the Reprolabels upgrade.
Wow how did a big name like that make into your video? I mean you got to meet the man himself Cyclonus!
New video! Woo!
Chris McFeely knows everything about Transformers... Doesn't he?!?!
I'm hoping the toy hax will help with the alt mode and weapons
Someday Chris McFeely will pass the Matrix on to Gavin. Won't He ?
Tbh I'm surprised you don't love his sword, I know its a bland grey colour but the shape of it reminds me of those Masters of the Universe weapons, especially since it has the random tube
I do intend to get Metalhawk at some point

This figure is nice in hand !!!!
Nice retooled Cyclonus mold
Here’s a good question for you Gavin, Are you Cyclonus?
Perhaps
Legendary link up
Does the cyclonus wing flaps close in for robot mode?. Ferrak or whatever his name is does and i tried on my 1 hour old metalhawk and broke the wing
Probably!
Chris sure knows his stuff!
And yeah, this figure isn't really doing anything for me. That not really gold and all that ugly grey... I'll stick with the fantastic Cyclonus, thanks
i hope we get More Autobot Pretenders
Retooled from Cyclonus? Looks like a redeco of Prime Wars Trilogy Topspin. Very confusing.
Ok I wasn’t expecting a double face reveal
It's always surreal to see people you only know as voices.
I think this figure is kind of hurt by being a Cyclonus remold, because it does none of the cool shit that Cyclonus does. Cyclonus's arms become _so_ seamless when in jet mode, I mean obviously if you know they're the arms you know they're the arms but the whole thing barely looks like it even transforms. The nosecone fuckery is amazing as well.
Meanwhile from what I can gather looking at this thing in jet mode the arms are just raised up and sit there hanging out for all to see without even trying to blend in with the rest of the jet mode, the nosecone thing is severely reduced from the change of the mold, and overall the jet mode just kind of looks like a chunky mess in comparison. The colours, while I assume accurate to the character (minus yellow instead of gold) don't help either.
To be honest, I'm not sure what to think of it.
On one hand I REALLY like the robot mode (even if the yellow isn't as good looking as the original gold).
And them you get to the jet mode..... And, well, the look alone isn't that bad, but the Blue and Grey of the figure just doesn't work for me that much.
Also, the accesories could REALLY use some work. Like, why is this Grey plastic that "meh" ?
Hello Gavin
I think you forgot to mention that this is the first time Hasbro have released a Japanese Transformers character in the West.
Also, I was expecting the special guest star to be Artfire. 🙁
How did chefatron manage to get legacy armada prime
Ask them!
Good stuff
I fraggin love this😭
Where did you get him from?
Um...Hasbro Pulse direct I think
Roflamo!!!!!
Is Metal Hawk, Cyclonus?
.............
(Dah faq?)
thanks gav
How much did you pay your guest to do this video? :P
I'll say this - I'm ruined
Do I need this? No. Do I want it? Also no. But likely I'll pick it up if I see it.
Yours has tight joints? Jealous.
I gotta be honest I actually thought he was a knockoff. That yellow body just isn't cutting it for me. Shoudn't it be the other way around with red with yellow accents? Well anyway it's a good retool I guess.
Godsend for starving Masterforce anime fans
Well, he's not wrong, but I'd hardly considered Criss McFeely an expert on anything Transformers.

- helps with character profiles for the uk release of rid 2001

I like you
I think the majority of people have never heard of metalhawk, and even fewer like him after Robots in Disguise
Metalhawk wasn't in Robots in Disguise. Or are you talking about Prime: Robots In Disguise, which is completely different from Robots in Disguise.
@@mrsamaritan6881A comic run called Robots in Disguise. Because that’s not confusing.
