Title:
WFC-GS19 Rotorstorm ✅
Description:
Rotorstorm (Deluxe Class, 2020)
Series: War for Cybertron: Earthrise
ID number: WFC-GS19
Accessories: 2 double-barreled cannons
A Generations Selects add-on to Earthrise, Rotorstorm is a retool of Siege Spinister, converting from a robot to Cybertronian helicopter and back. He comes with two double-barreled weapons; in an undocumented but extremely obvious feature, his guns can be combined to form a single four-barreled gun. His spinning rotor sits in place in robot mode, thanks to a small fin-tab on his helicopter tail ending up sitting against the rotor-base in robot mode, nestled in a small divot in the base.
He has two 5 mm posts on his robot mode back rather than the one typical of Deluxe Class figures of the War for Cybertron Trilogy subline, but they’re covered by his helicopter blades by default and if the blades are rotated out of the way, they’re still hard to use anything (like a Weaponizer that’s being used as a backpack) due to the proximity to his blades and his helicopter tail.
Due to the nature of Rotorstorm’s transformation, a great deal of stress is placed on the hinges holding the panels making up the back of his legs, which are made of brittle translucent plastic and prone to developing stress fractures. Due to this, care is advised when transforming his legs in either mode.
He was first made available for pre-order on Hasbro Pulse on June 26, 2020. Initial stock photography showed him with the same head-mold as Spinister (as seen in the inset), but the final toy features a new head based on his IDW appearance.
