Next from Hasbro are the official images of the Transformers Generations series, and headlining in the Voyager class is Autobot Whirl based strongly on the Generation 1 toy drawing in some influences from his more recent incarnation in the IDW comics. Check out the images of the “Unvincible” robot affectionately known as “Nutjob” by some of his fellow Lost Light crewmates. Caution – Whirl has “no known weaknesses”!
Check out the images after the break and keep it TFW for more San Diego Comic Con 2013 coverage! Also be sure to visit our sister sites Hisstank, Tokunation and Toyark for more coverage of all the other cool things on show!

This was kinda disappointing, so I ended up buying a custom IDW-ish Whirl. Not sure why Hasbro made all these IDW inspired figures, but then decided to do a G1 toy homage for just this one… Especially when the IDW design is so much better.

Having the cockpit being able to rotate in robot mode into a forward position would've helped, but I still like it nonetheless. Bring on MTMTE Voyager Rodimus!
brr-icy
so glad they went the g1 route, don't like the mtmte version as much

I will be getting this guy if I ever see him in the stores. I loved the original Whirl. Got him and Roadbuster one year at Christmas. I never figured out until I got back into Transformers a couple years ago why they never were in the cartoon or early comic books. I hope they do a Roadbuster next.

no u are taking what i said literally and i was just using the term loosly but hey we all have different opinions of things. sounds like someone needs a hug

Pass. And that's a rarity for me and Classics, Universe, Generations…
I just don't think he looks good.

Pretty much, if it wasn't for the screw up of saying he was MTMTE based, people wouldn't be this pissed off at it.

Personally, I LOVE the way this toy looks.
But I feel many people are disappointed because the liveblog said he was MTMTE inspired and they expected the exact same design.
This shouldn't be something you complain about guys, we're getting an all new, Voyager class update of Whirl.

I'm being and asshole by saying that you misinterpreted people hating the figure with people being dissapointed by it because it's not what they wanted or expected?
Ok whatever, there's plenty of room on the ignore list for guys like you…

Not exaggerating.

I haven't read any recent tf comics. The only series I read through all the way was the DW armada comic.

If you're reading the comics, none of these are obscure.

There's a difference between hate and disappointment dude.
I personaly didn't got anything I wanted out of a modern Whirl but it's still Whirl and I'm still buying him in hope that a 3rd party will give us some add-ons to give him the look I want to have on my classic shelf.
