Yes, Whirls legs look like they can be turned around for more a MTMTE vibe..
Look at the images of the black knee joint and then the back of the legs here: http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...eadwing/27915/

I was wondering that. Maybe the angle doesn't let us see it or it's unpainted.

It does look like the two black ski's on each of his legs do not serve much of a purpose in alt mode or that robot mode - if they had wanted to give him heel spurs there are simpler ways.

Looks like a GI Joe machine, if you don't mind me saying so.

But they wanted to give him more than heel spurs. Both front and back of Whirls legs are designed to represent fairly different Whirl incarnations (G1 & MTMTE). Simply turn the hips around and adjust the knees for the Whirl legs you like.

Might as well plonk these here for you guys ;):D:

He even has the little head aerial!!! Love it!

He certainly is almost a direct throwback to his G1 self that it is so cool. Definitely on the "must buy" list for me.

I thought his feet looked a bit funny in the early photos, I'm glad they found a way to please everyone. :)
