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.
This picture also reveals his headsculpt among other things including his weapon placement.
From the looks of it, he is kinda spindly and does to a certain extent invoke the Autobot Whirl vibe. However the mono-eye seems to be missing.
I guess you can't have it all.
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 think Messiah Complex got it first with this thread, but I may be wrong.

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.
