Title:
Whirl, Makeshift And Gunbarrel
Description:
Autobot Whirl with Makeshift and Gunbarrel (Ultra, 2004)
Accessories: Left & right turbine-cannon launchers, 2 missiles, rotor blades
A redeco of the Generation 1 Turbomaster Rotorstorm, Whirl transforms into a Cybertronic assault helicopter. His missile launchers were retooled in order to fire new missiles that passed US safety testing (the actual missile mold is the same as used by Energon Omega Supreme). The pegs holding the launchers on in alt mode were also retooled, adding a bar connecting the two pegs, with a corresponding slot added on the launchers. This strengthens the pegs, preventing breakage that could occur on previous releases. Pressing a small button just behind his rotor drops the cannons down to firing position. His rotor blades can detach and be held in his hand, but lack the jointing needed to be held like a normal sword. (He can certainly slice horizontally with them, though.)
He came with the Mini-Cons Makeshift and Gunbarrel (who, in fiction, would later be renamed Skysickle and Thunderstick, respectively), but doesn’t have the necessary Powerlinx connectors to use them.
This mold was also used to make Machine Wars Sandstorm.
