Hi fellas, I was always a big fan of the deluxe Autobots, but the 'Classics' Hasbro versions of them are poor, in my opinion. I am waiting for my Mugen Calibur to arrive from Hong Kong, so in the meantime I thought I should make a stab of Whirl. I love Skyhammer from the DOTM line, but the head was always a problem. So I made a new head from other bits and painted it. What do you guys think?


Behold, the red eye of inscrutability!!!

I tried to homage his original look. Who can guess what I made the head from?

A clue - it comes from a Generations mould, which has been used 3 times

Hope you guys like it, it was a fun little project. The colour isn't quite right, but I haven't mixed colours for a long time.

Three times as in three different characters or three times as the same character?

3 times, 3 different characters

That looks great!

Well I'm kinda biased, the Skyhammer mold is one of my favorites from the movie line. (though I still don't have one! D:)

Drift/Blurr/SG Drift shoulder was used for the head. Now what do I win?

xD I knew it'd be somebody's shoulder piece!

I only figured it out when I saw the back of the head.

Actually, only the back of the head is the shoulder piece, the front is from a different area entirely, but still of the same mould

Is it his forearm where the wheel is?

Nah, not even the same limb

The inside of his leg?

Yeah, I'll give you that - It's the leg section that makes up the exhaust pipe(s) in alt mode. You win a mouldy biscuit!

I expect my prize by tuesday next week at the latest.

I gotta hand it to you, Banjo-Tron. I would never have dreamed of using a shoulder and an exhaust pipe to DIY a head for a robot.
