Pre-ordered my Whirl
I already have the voyager Bludgeon upgrade ordered, but I am definitely going to grab the deluxe one as well since you have to be a deluxe to be "in scale" anymore.

Dunno what you're on about. These are decent TF figures.
Bludgeon was a floppy mess right out of the box. His transformation gimmick in the chest prevents him from staying in bot mode if you make any attempt to play with it. The leg panels don't lock or tab in anywhere leaving them to flop around too. The figure couldn't hold his own weight before falling over due to loose ball joints in the hips. That's enough to make me think that one's garbage since that covers pretty much everything I want in a bot mode.
My voyager Bludgeon wasn't floppy but I do have complaints about the mold. One being the feet which cannot be fixed with the upgrade. The other being that horrible head.
And HR seems to have a good answer for that.

Wonder if there's any chance Gyro will fit onto Skyhammer?
I've been wondering about this as well. But, after looking at pictures of Blackout/Whirl, i fear that the head isn't on a ball joint.
