    Hasbro should have painted the head in gray, like this custom. It fits the design and the aesthetic better and the BW Silverbolt "homage" - even though it was probably unintentional - is awesome.

    Looks awesome. The custom head makes it look a LOT like BW Silverbolt. Love it

    These two are on the top of my 'must have' list.
    I think it's almost a given that we'll see a Whirl repaint somewhere down the road, with the Wreckers being so center-stage.

    The head is custom painted? Damnit.

    Hell, make it a two-pack. Skyhammer as Whirl and Tomahawk as Rotorstorm.

    I was thinking about getting Skyhammer, but decided not to since I don't like the look of the head. It is amazing what a different set of colors can do; this version looks awesome. Hopefully the inevitable repaint will have better colors.

    Want so hard. Right up there with Highbrow in terms of ingenuity, and he looks spectacular in either mode.

    Just like Highbrow, it's lovely how remarkably kibble-free he is in alt-mode. Another ingenius tail-to-legs transformation there.

    I ended up getting Tomahawk on sale. Repaint this guy as a Decepticon and I'll buy it to make a little 'copter vs. 'copter battle.

    I had decided I wanted this guy already. This cements the deal.

    One of the few DOTM figures I will go out of my way to hunt down. Nice sculpt (he hardly resembles a Bayverse figure if you ask me), understated paintjob, easy enough to lose the mech-tech thing. Overall - He looks f#ck'n great! :thumb

    Yeah, I'm going to get this guy. Looks as if he'd be Tomahawk's older brother(If robots had older Brothers...). Still pissed that Tomahawk didn't show up around here though.

    The configuration of the rotor blades in robot mode is inspired. This could be Mindwipe good.

    looks really sweet but i'd be interested in seeing what he'd look like as a 'con repaint (in that case, dotm vortex could be his bro instead of tomahawk).

    Not bad. The painted-to match head definitely works better, though I can't deny my affinity for the Blades-esque white head with blue face.
