Seibertron board member Jackson has reported a new auction in ebay with clear picture of the Transformers dark of The Moon Basic Human Alliance figure.
From the looks of it, he is kinda spindly and does to a certain extent invoke the Autobot Whirl vibe.
You can see the auction right here:

Hmm, he IS cool except for the completely wrong head, isn't he?
So, do I sense a Gyro 2.0 upgrade kit on the horizon, Headrobots?

He's got the "right" proportions, seems to follow the "Classics" aesthetic and resembles the original Whirl in many aspects. Plus, by having a human partner, recreates the whole Dorvack (and Diaclone) deal of being manned robots. We've got a full circle right there. But it has two major (or minor if you can handle changes) downsides: having a different deco than the original Whirl, the head and if you want to get nitpicky, the original Dorvack toy had a girl pilot. At least in fiction.
All those "flaws" aside, I want this guy

LOL Whirl was light blue, single eye, no pilot.
Gazzette was dark blue, single eye, Louise Ovelon (female)pilot.
This is very Whirl/Gazzette-esque with the feet and proportions.
Can't make out the facial d'tail, head looks good, but not so much like the charecter.
I can't wait for these Little HA figs to come out.
Like the bastard children of M.A.S.K. and Transformers...
some SHOUT!Factory Dorvack... omg... Yes'please!!! /pray.

I like it. I will toss the stupid little person back in the box, but this figure is a go!

I actually like it. It's simple but effective IMO. The only thing I do not care for are the feet.

These new "scout class" Human Alliance figures are a blight to an otherwise amazing Human Alliance toyline. They dont even look like Transformers, but rather a completely new cheesy toyline with unrealistic alt modes. I will not buy these and insult my Pontiac Solstic fig.

In the words of Mr. Horse - No sir I don't like it!
Looks too much like a MECH than a Transformer.

I think it looks cool but it needs more homage value for me to pick it up. Needs to be blue.
