Whirl: The One-Eyed Wrecking Machine | Transformers G1 Flash Back Friday Review

Whirl is easily one of the most unique designs from the original 1985 Transformers lineup. In this video, I'm taking a close look at the Autobots’ eccentric aerial assault specialist. ​From his distinctive "one-eyed" head sculpt to his spindly, functional limbs, Whirl has always stood out from the typical humanoid robot designs of the G1. We'll dive into the history of this figure and see how well those joints have held up 😆😆 after 40 years. ​In this video, we cover: ​Design & Aesthetics: Why the asymmetrical look works so well. ​Transformation: A walkthrough of the conversion from robot to helicopter. ​Articulations & Gimmicks: Looking at the functional landing gear and claw hands. ​Whether you're a fan of the original cartoon, the IDW comics where he truly shined, or you just love vintage mecha, this deep dive is for you. ​Don't forget to like and subscribe for more retro reviews and collectible showcases! #Transformers #G1Whirl #RetroToys #Autobots #VintageTransformers #Mecha #ActionFigureReview #80sToys #Hasbro #Takara #TransformersG1 #ToyCollecting As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases check out my store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-d3e1b13b?ref=exp_inf_sh_influencer-d3e1b13b Filmed on: https://amzn.to/3PHlCRy Browse my T-Shirts to show support: https://inflewences-interest.creator-spring.com Buy me a Drink: https://www.paypal.me/inflewence Intro and outro music can be listened to here: http://www.inflewential.com and here https://spoti.fi/2Nvp8PZ https://soundcloud.com/inflewence Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inflewencesinterest Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Inflewential *all music produced by me used courtesy of myself* MY GEAR: Turntable: https://amzn.to/3zsSIfI DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case), Wireless Lavalier Microphone: https://amzn.to/4sN4w6o 600W Day Light Umbrella Continuous Lighting Kit by LimoStudio: https://amzn.to/2Xx5S6S ecoEfficiency 2-Pack of EN-EL14, EN-EL14A Batteries for Nikon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092ZUJMI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0092ZUJMI&linkCode=as2&tag=inflewence-20&linkId=q7Robot
