The "third mode" plays homage to the Macross/robotech series. This mode was called the Gerwalk mode / guardian mode respectively. I am surprised you never heard of this "3rd mode" thing. If you have never watched the original Macross[1982], I hugely recommend it.

To the guys trying to work out what the third mode is all about. During Whirl's first encounter with Cyclonus in the more than meets the eye comics, he used a walky, spinny, death machine mode in a fit of rage. It's like he used it as a combat mode when he landed and wanted to get fighting while mid transformation, wasting no time.

Hey emgo, there was one thing that wasn't in the directions that you are able to do with whirl. If you take those arm strut things and push them into the torso (yes, I know it sounds scary, but trust me on this) you are able to lock it into the torso making a more "normal" shoulder configuration. There is two pops you hear. The first one indicates the ball has slided out the joint, the second one indicates that it has locked inside. I know that you cant just simply do this over again, so I would recommend in the next review you could say "by the way, for those who watched my review on Generations Autobot Whirl, there was something I forgot to introduce. You are able to pop the shoulders into the torso to make a more solid shoulder configuration. Which is a neat little easter egg/added bonus for your convenience. Anyway, just had to get that off my chest/taken care of. Anyway...."

I have not wanted a Transformer figure in a long while. I REALLY want this guy. Chopper mode is cool, love the weaponry. I am a total sucker for gerwalks, and I love that it was actually engineered into the figure and has its own transformation and isn't just an in-between of the vehicle and robot modes. And the robot mode looks great, I love the gimmick for activating the light piping. Transformation looks pretty fun too. I really really want this guy.

I just noticed: Most aerial Transformers could technically be triple changers, if you can bring out the legs (and arms) on vehicle mode, you can make a sort of Gerwalk mode (for example: Some Starscream toys and this guy)

Quite a number of Decepticons are nicer than Whirl. In the More Than Meets The Eye comics, the first time you see him he's mutilating dead Sweeps. He's also the one responsible for making Megatron to declare war against the Autobots.

Note his stickers have a text reading "VH-64MR" . Thats actually the official designation of the Overlon Gazette from Dorvack (the anime from where Whirl's model came from) . Its a bit like saying Hasbro's next Jetfire toy will have stickers saying "VF-1", "UN Spacey" and "Hikaru ichijo" supplied . A brilliant homage!

Holy heck So I was at a comic book store and found a whirl figure in a bag for $10 in his alt mode and I was like oh nice and now that I'm home and managed to get him partially transformed (he didn't come ina box, justa lil plastic bag so no instructions) I began looking around for similar whirl figures so I could find a tutorial on how to finish transforming him and turning out I got this one! Insane I can't belive I got a voyager class for $10. Although he's a bit beat up and his paint is scuffed and missing all few stickers and all his weapons I'm still amazed I managed to get such a nice toy for cheap, this is the first good transformers figure I've gotten! (I've only got two others that are the shitty 8 step transform ones from the movie and have a giant fuckin arm,, bumble bee and crosshairs)

With the way he looks and transforms I have a feeling that this is an unused Robotech concept. I'm not just saying that because of the Gerwalk mode. Look at his head, the fact that it 'turns on" and then there are the weapons. I'm not saying that Harmon Gold started the three barrel trend, but the Veritech fighters all had three barrels in the rifles, just like Whirl's canon arm.
