New pictures have started to roll in from the Cherry Bomb Toy Show happening today in Victoria, Canada. First up, 2005 Board member brings us pics of the next project to be offered by Headrobots; The Deluxe Drone Helicopter. First announced at TFcon, this upgrade kit will take your Hunt For the Decepticons Tomahawk figure and change it into the airborne Wrecker, Whirl!
Check out the images after the break

I'm wondering are they going to release the whirl update for the hftd tomahawk? or should this remain dead?
ryu hayabusha
been waiting for the whirl update

Thanks!
Edit: But I meant the actual figure. Thanks anyway though…

It's already been available… Headrobots – Butcher – Upgrade Kit
Bumblebee765
That looks awesome! I'd probably end up repainting it into one of my Autobot fan characters. Where will he be available (I usually don't but 3rd Party…)?
MegaHavok
My guess is that Head robots needs money and that's why they pushed out butcher and centurion to pay for these other projects
Forgotten_Prime
Has any one heard if the whirl parts are still coming out?

The Gyro head looks all wrong to me, but it's due to transformation, since an accurate Whirl head would never fit. As for Butcher, I'm tired of the same headmaster/different color and face on same figure, different color.

headrobots love repaints so i would assume so. and that is a neat fact!
Predaking000
That's a great factoid. Thanks.
Anyway, anyone know if Headrobots is releasing a set to match the Japanese repaint (Vortex) of Tomahawk?

The ROTF whirl color scheme is a nod to the original Ovelon Gazzette, which is what G1 Whirl was based upon. Look at ROTF Whirl's tail numbers. They say OVELON if read upside down.

Tomahawk is neither. And I'm pretty sure the intention with this kit is to make a G1 Classics representation of the character, not the reimagined movie version.

…really want a blasted Tomahawk figure… this Headrobots update is fantastic!

Great, after I butcher an attempted head swap on Tomahawk, this comes out…
OptionZero
Where are the pics from the booths?

Since RotF made Whirl dark blue instead of lightblue/grey.
C16
How does this kit turn Tomahawk into Whirl? The colors are still totally wrong.

The kit looks good. Just won't be getting it for Tomahawk. Maybe, if I get my hands on an extra Tomahawk. I'd love for Hasbro does a re-deco of this mold for/as Whirl. And then HR can re-release this kit in appropriate color scheme.
Who is Butcher supposed to represent?
