I'm quite surprised many folk seem to think he comes across more as IDW Whirl. Certainly the head is very IDW'esque but in body I think he is much more G1 Whirl. What with the canopy pointing down in robot mode rather than forward with a couple of big cannons, no big loops at his elbows and the fact he is a terran helicopter with spinning blades in alt mode rather than a sorta cybertronian-jet-thingie with a couple of blades just sweeping back at the top. Also his weaponary like the null ray fitting over the claw and other guns able to be attached to his calves is far more G1 as well in my opinion.

I remember opening the toy and being somewhat surprised that they had gone the G1 rather than the IDW route like they had with Skids, Swerve and Tailgate. Still, if I am wrong in my assessment I'm happy to be corrected.
