And lastly, for now, we have MMC's version of IDW Whirl (I think) as Turben. Preorders are up at BBTS and TFSource, due in Dec 2016.

BBTS $84.99
TFSource $84.99

I don't know that I need another Whirl, but this looks neat. I've preordered for now...

Am I the only one who thinks with a purple paintjob and a cannon hand that this mold would make a fantastic Shockwave?

The Cloud people had a similar idea, but yeah, that'd make a neat Shockwave.

As far as IDW Whirl, though, this figure is a tad too beefy and upright for my taste. Whirl's more spindly and hunched over than this guy. That said, it's still a neat-looking figure; I'd buy it if I was a big enough Whirl fan, but I'd probably not put it in an IDW-centric display.

EDIT: Looking at it again, I'm not sure I like the rotors on the forearms. Kind of a "Classics Optimus Prime Arm Kibble" thing that probably could have been done differently.
