I actually really, REALLY like this guy. I think he's an awesome update to the G1 figure with some solid nods to MTMTE. PS - I actually love that alt mode, however the noticeable gap at the front is a bummer but overall it's a solid 9/10 for the alt as far as I'm concerned.

[@jtek2259]

Agreed man, and also did you have any trouble with the shoulder joints wearing down unusually quickly

[@FamishedYoshi]

@@jtek2259 yeah, unless you push the arms in when in robot mode (which aren't in the directions) the left shoulder on my figure kinda just flops down unfortunately

[@jtek2259]

"luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-light piping" gets me every time.

oh god the ED-260 LEARNED TO FLY! RUUUUUN! SOMEONE CALL ROBOCOP! OR OPTIMUS! ROBOCOPTIMUS! XD

[@smol_robo6146]

I’ve looked up fanart or whirl but ever since the new rescue bot whirl came in I always pondered on whirls gender, and I never knew whirl was such a cool character, and also thank you thew for clearing that cloud in my head

[@twilight_phantom2969]

I still regret not picking this up when it came out

[@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy]

Wireless_Phantom luckily I got the tf cloud shockwave and I prefer that version

[@CRocketSlim]

It's crazy but you can still find a ton of him on Amazon, and for decent prices too

[@davidball8370]

2012 feels like a long time ago... well that's scarily accurate.

Oh hey it's the other cool guy from the internet

[@infiniteoctopaw]

Ok, but if like anyone would turn a t-shirt cannon into a weapon. It would be Whirl.

[@Nicks-Toy-Pics]

Finally got ahold of this guy for only $15! This review made me really want Whirl. The weirdness, colors, and plastic quality sold it for me.

[@RingoLoadagain]

"Geth on meth"?! hahahaa That's the greatest thing anyone's ever said on youtube.

[@Vakamadisk]

After this awesome review, I think I'll pick up Whirl when I see him in stores. Thew, I'm curious if you're going to review Generations Blitzwing. I myself own the figure and absolutely love it, but I'm really interested in hearing your opinion of him.

[@839ricky]

I fucking lost it when he said Bandai! XD

[@sixshotmark]

Takatoku was the maker of the toy and 1/55 was the scale. Great review.

[@ARJ-ym1fg]

I suppose I'll get this guy and him a whirl

[@bumblebot2458]

ARJ 1987 while I notice the typo, EEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY

[@takarajap]

WOW! STICKERS! I'll apply them sidewayz and off centered with dirty fingers and a runny nose. God its great to be a kid again!

[@caffeinedelusions]

"Wouldn't wanna be Hasbro right now" Looking back on this from 2023 and the huge mess Hasbro is making of Dungeons and Dragons with the Open Gaming License version 1.1... Yeah, same.

[@Autobot032]

"Finger puppet" just about wrecked me. Thank you, good sir, for the laugh. :D

[@Rad_Crab]

[@betaraybrad91]

Just grabbed one. Absolutely love this unusual chopper bot.

[@joshualam2463]

you make reviews so entertaining. Especially Transformers reviews. Please don't stop you're amazing.

[@darthwinsor]

“2012 was a long time ago.” Don’t even get me started.

[@supercell615]

Brundlefly reference! I like this guy already!

[@adawnicusautocon]

2:29 THANK YOU Finally someone who gets me!!

[@shockwave514]

Great review, any chance you thought about sliding off the legs at the swivel joint to fix the legs? Seibertron has said they have assembled the legs wrong. [just like Generations skids legs]

[@craggylotus]

definitely would have preferred a mtumtee version, but this looks okay. thanks for the awesome review again Thew

[@lakelandbuzz2252]

Sure wasn't expecting a In The Thick of It reference, but appreciated it immensely.

[@keylimecat1982]

I thoroughly enjoyed you roasting Whirl 😂

[@thecmoose4754]

I got mine the other day. The ironic part is he was the last one in the store and I wanted a Roadbuster. Not seeing the irony? Mine's defective. Whirl quite literally has 2 left feet. But that is too prefect to replace.

[@BottleKnockers]

always remember. if you see something you don't like on a transformer just pretend its a fictional vehicle.

[@TheRealHiboman]

Hey now! Scout Class DOTM Whirl was tons of fun!

[@tfstopmotions5672]

I bought this figure a few years ago for my birthday and it has this good smell ever since I got it out of the box.

[@cruizerdave]

I love Whirl, he's one of my favorites!

[@syafiqjabar]

Did you ever get DOTM voyager Skyhammer? That's one of the best helicopter Transformers in any line. Also I think you can push Whirl's shoulders in and switch the legs around to make it look better.

[@NightmareZerogbs]

I just realized that you frequently use the same transformation song when a bot's got a "main" alt mode or when combining, like a "this is the _real_ deal" song

[@vlenhoff]

Takatoku was the original brand, then bought by Bandai. I am sure most Dorvack/Macross fans know this :P I loved the review, and the comedy, but... do I love Whirl? We will see... UPDATE: Yes, I got Whirl!... and It is fantastically adequate! I do love it though, I had always wanted Whirl, thanks Hasbro...

[@williamjamesmorizio7399]

The colours on this one look more like the Takara Legends Whirl. Is this that version of the mold or the Hasbro version?

[@toygrind]

It's the Hasbro guy!

[@suprizeoptomist4680]

Even WITH the original instructions, I have no idea what to do with the bit that goes over the arm.

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

What’s the best MTMTE Cyclonus? (Which isn’t an uber expensive third-party figure)? LOL! I used to walk my G1 Jetfire around like that too!

[@trence5]

finally got this guy. He's okay, I wish propellers spin as good as yours

[@jonny-not-so-bravo617]

At least he got re-painted as Cloud Shockwave

[@The_Barroth]

I just left the stickers in the box up in my closet. I don't mess with stickers.

[@WatchdogDisciple]

Thew I want to thank you for these videos. I've had a bit of a rough day. So I clicked on your video and I'm feeling a little better now.

[@8bitPikachu]

Im so ready to get me a whirl, when they did tomahawk and he looked so much like whirl i thought wow they need to do a whirl from it but then they did vortex, and i said cool, but it didn't sold it in my area. so i missed out on tomahawk all together. NOT GONNA MISS THIS GUY

[@TakeWalker]

G1 accuracy is all well and good, but Whirl's not a G1 I wanted to see faithfully recreated. :B

[@KrytenMark]

You have Whirl already? Huh. Nice one, Thew! :D *thumbs up*

[@manoflego123]

Something about short beard, no hair, glasses-less Thew is just deeply confusing and a little uncanny.

[@Curelax]

"More spin than Malcom Tucker" I laughed

[@leader0ne]

Now I'm gonna get this vintage slendercopter.

[@renaeknight9266]

2:30 That's Definitely Not A Chicken Leg

[@isuckatusernames4297]

damn, been iver a decade since this guy was relased. he def needs an update in legacy.

[@benulrand9137]

I LOVE TOMOHAWK

You kno now tho , in 2019, we are wanting more Gen1 designs 😁

[@primus1873]

End title made me lol.

[@1984sideswipe]

So, how long til a proper Roadbuster?

[@123asd1]

only complaint from me is head size vs body size and the flat forearms, Id rather theyed be thinner or rounded out instead of mushed :/

[@harriskhan9033]

will you ever review the transformers foc starscream mold

[@samvimes9510]

This guy looks like he'd be more at home in Robotech than Transformers. But that's kind of awesome.

[@Transforminman]

Looks like a Helicopter version of the Macross Harrier

[@rave1X]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-IRL!

[@roguedeathangel]

Is there any doubt that Whirl will be reformatted into this form by the end of Dark Cybertron?

[@outcastwayne]

should have been deluxe size. Would have bought it in a heartbeat.

[@amabism]

How have I only just noticed that you used my last name in this video? That's so freaking awesome :) im Andrew Brundle :)

[@SharkNinjaBlueStar]

God I cannot WAIT to get my mits on this guy...

[@marktaylor8681]

great review as always thew , you always put a smile on my face when I listen to you reviews , ^_^ keep up the great work , and counting down the time till you next one,

[@orion9026]

dise fucking puns XDDD

[@Andulvar]

I rather like this figure, I'm sure I can make some plastic armor plates to cover up those holes in Helicopter mode.

[@RodimusMinor1987]

I got mine in the mail from Kapow today love the figure

[@carellicollectables]

Thew Adams Dude, what is the symbol on your shirt? It looks so familiar but I couldn't get a good gander.

[@hobbitninja]

Top notch video Thew

YOU ARE THE BEST REVIEW EVER ON KZbin

[@wewyllenium]

damn you deserve more views mate!!!

[@jaxom]

oh god, lost it so hard when you said BANDAI

[@PlasticonStudios]

Yes!! Sir can I have some more? Sweet awesome thewness as usual!!!!

[@BadlanderOutsider]

Dorvack's still lacking subs, unfortunately. Ah, the problem of liking obscure 80s robot shows and not being able to understand Japanese. Still, if it ever gets subs and I want to pick up a figure of the robot? This is going to be it because it does look very nice.

[@GraemePryce1978]

Hmmmmmm . . . . . I hate to say it but I think I'm gonna have to give him a miss unless he drops below about £20. The robot mode is fine, it is pretty much what I want from Whirl as a robot but that helicopter . . . . I cant help thinking he looks like a really good Generations figure in robot but a bit like a decent quality oversized knock off of an armada period toy in helicopter! The thigh gap finished it for me. :-/

[@Weegee9003]

wut an autobot shockwave what has science done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@camerongibson5660]

Just wondering, has anyone's whirl had loose arm joints?

[@GobotWars]

left arm couldn't even hold up the "t-shirt cannon" while plugged into the arm hole. but, I guess 1 of 2 is good enough.

[@norbulousprime]

Loving your reviews, Sir Thew!! Loving this Whirl and can't wait to have him in my collective! I was fanboying over the fact that he WAS all G-1 inspired and now you're saying that there's a backlash about that? No way!! Keep the G-1 Goodness coming, Hasbro!! XD

[@1984sideswipe]

Loving it! And Stickers! About time Hasbro.
