    Snaketales, this looks like the perfect figure to be re-purposed into Whirl. Just need to swap his head, maybe add a little paint and BOOM! Whirl!

    Would love to see you attempt this if you get time.

    Good point. Might need a creative solution to hide his claws!

    I just got mine tonight, the hands unfortunately are molded onto the forearms but you could just file them down and stripping the black paint off would hide them better in chopper mode!

    Also, holy crap how this toy flattens out for chopper mode, can we get Hasbro to take another run at Airachnid????

    Dropkick Heli Type has the correct colours for the helicopter mode, and they have given it some blues for the robot mode.

    As you can see, the movie model is actually a mix of both blue and grey. Dropkick Car Type is more blue in both the toy and screen model, but that's because he was still just a Double Changer at the time. After acquiring a tertiary mode he became mostly grey with blue accents throughout; and that's difficult to translate into a Deluxe Class toy. You can either have a grey robot or blue helicopter, and given that the alt mode is licensed from Bell Helicopter, I'd say that Hasbro may have required to make it grey.
