Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.

Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Yeah, the orange sucks; it doesn't belong on a Whirl homage. However, I love the head sculpt (at least from what I can see of it).

Orange? ORANGE!? WTF?
Does use of these moulds come with a stipulation that they must ALSO have a crappy colour scheme?

The head might be useful for custom purposes...
I was considering grabbing him to do the old part-switcheroo with Vortex too, but there's too much paint removal involved.

Vortex redeco from Robots in Disguise.
Hence the combined form being named Ruination.

Ah. Indeed. Thanks for the clarification. Never watched RID. Well, that's a lie. I did. Once. Well, I tried anyways. The "Autobot Brothers" just annoyed the hell out of me. Brawn-X? To the EXTREME!! Is that what that was meant to be?

I'll second that (on both counts).
The middle TF needs to be a voyager size. It's way too spindly looking when combined and there's no bulk to it.

Simple, they're not official Transformers products.
If you wish to keep up with Predaking, or any other 3rd party product, here's the forum in which to do it.

Okay, G1 Whirl's rotors were yellow, so the orange kinda' makes sense on them, but as for the orange on the rest of him...
Wait, it just dawned on me! Since even Twin Twist has a blue-orange deco, which makes just as little sense (unless I'm forgetting a Diaclone or Salt-Man color scheme), could the whole point be to give Ruination a more unified look, to better homage Emirate Xaaron?!? It'll largely fail, but considering he was gold and really-light-blue-for-silver in most comic appearances, that would almost make sense. Of course, the resulting Ruination will only be accurate to that one Condor Verlag cover scale-wise...wait, that means these colors will actually make PERFECT sense!

91% isopropyl alcohol will take that crappy orange paint off in 30 seconds. If you only want to remove certain parts, then dip tissue in the alcohol and lay it on those parts for 5 minutes then wipe carefully. Use a pencil eraser to remove any paint stains, then shine up the area with more alcohol. Then get the purple parts from Vortex and begin the de-Hasbro-azation and make the G1 gods proud.
