2005 Boards member TheBeastman brought our attention to a Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Flip Racers Whirl toy listed on Amazon we haven’t seen before.
This is a small curious Whirl toy which has a car alt mode but with helicopter blades on top. While the Amazon listing only showed images of the alt mode, 2005 Boards member Rookbartley was able to buy it and share in-hand images for us. As with other Flip Racers figures, you can transform Whirl just by lifting the alt mode. It’s a nice surprise since we didn’t see this toy previously, even at Toy Fair or Comic-Con.

I posted this in the Amazon thread last month:

Didn't think anyone cares for Flip Racers but my boys LOVE them (Whirl at the middle-bottom).

Picture Siege Whirl as a Springer remold. Medix as a Sideswipe remold. Hoist integrated G1, but with some RB. Hot Shot from Sideswipe.
That being said, a Voyager 4 Pack of Blades (Springer), Heatwave (Inferno), Boulder (Scrapper) and Chase (New mold) would be nice.

I’d Love Medix, Hot Shot and Whirl the most!

That should be a Flip Racer, and it seems it has even showed up at retail according to Darryl Wall on Twitter
Can anyone try to get a fresh picture? @Rookbartley maybe?

I was thinking, 'Whirl has changed.'.
I wish we could get CHUGs of the other Rescue Bots as well, especially the original four. I'd be happy with repaints of existing (appropriate) molds with new heads.

Whirl the helicar.

I’d love a Chug Version of her, she has such a cute design!

It’s a fun figure! I grabbed mine off Amazon a few weeks back and the only mention I made of it was the recent purchase forum. Not even sure if we had an official reveal of this at like Toy Fair.
