If you were one of the lucky few who managed to get a pre-order in for Headrobots' MegaToyFan exclusive limited run Gyro resin upgrade kits for the TRU exclusive ROTF Whirl, keep an eye on your mailbox. The sets have shipped, and YouTube member DoctorPrime has uploaded a video review of the kit. His review is embedded below.

Our own unicron nemesis has also posted some images of set.

Dammit. I missed this one. I could have used a Whirl for my Classics especially in that mold. I love that mold.

Here are some photos I took

Definitely looks much better on the figure than on it's own.

i wish i had picked up a second. but yeah, that whole set was very underrated. the bludgeon looks just like the inner robot of the original pretender toy, and whirl has that weird style evocative of the original bots quirkiness. regrettably hes a bit floppy, but a more than adequate stand in in any collectors classics shelf.

I still need to sand down the peg on the small gun to make it so that he can actually hold it in bot mode. Pretty happy with this overall.

I agree. I had to do a little sanding but i was rather pleased with the set and what it did for the figure.
