I finally found my MOC Tommahawk toy in my locker, and was very happy to find that with some small changes, I could make an unsung hero. Can you guess who?

Yup, I'm stumped, I can't think of a single other character that mold resembles

 

 

Think, Diaclone...

Whirl?

Whirl didn't come from Diaclone, I'm unfamiliar with Diaclone molds that weren't added to the Transformers lines...

Well, Whirl was right around the Diaclone line's time. I just thought he might have made a mistake. If it is a Diaclone, I'm at a loss.

You Youngins are killin me!

 

I was one of the first to dub this non-transformer diaclone Switchblade, which was also the name of the MASK Hellicopter / jet from that time, same color too.

 

Infact, if you do a Google Image search right now of "Diaclone Switchblade" the first 2 hits are MINE!

 

I have one for sale on my table at The Bigfleamart.com, and the cartoon work in the second link was a drawing I did years ago under my original handle 'The Weeter'

 

Look at these bots side by side, I just can't WAIT to start working on retooling the head, and painting the body blue.

 

Just have to figure out how to add a jet mode.

 

If I were to use Tomahawk as a body for Whirl, I'd snag the head off FOC Shockwave, remove the side head fins and make one an antenna.

 

Whirl was not Diaclone, it was a Pre-Transformer toy from a series called Dorvak, and it was a machine flown by a girl, so does that make Whirl a female?

It kind of reminds a triple changer was that was passed up for Transformers. Can't remember it exactly, though. It was either a Helicopter into a plane, or Helicopter into a tank?

 

Edit: Found it. Copter to Jet! http://diaclone.net/orid/diatri/d092.html

 

 

TAARON WINS!!!! Thank you for playing! That is exactly what I am going for. Just have to figure out how to add on a couple wings and a jet nose to make it a tripple changer. Retooling the head will be easy, the horns get chopped, the forehead is nearly perfect, just needs a box instead of a grill, and the faceplate needs to be added, detailed with a ridge on either side like Boba Fett.

 

I think I will have to live with the hands being backwards.

 

I think I can add on a jetnose to the chopper, and make or find wings that clip on the sides and maybe can fold out to make the jet.

 

The rotor configuration is just perfect, and though this was a movie toy, it is really nice and fitting for my classics display.

 

The head from tomahawk as it turns out is almost perfect for a BUMPER head, so if I just add the little bumps on the side of his head and paint it yellow, the visor and all will be spot on Bumper's design.

 

 

SWITCHBLADE and BUMPER SHALL LIVE IN MY COLLECTION!!!!

I'm not so young at 35. I honestly don't have much knowledge on Diaclone aside from what was imported here as Transformers, although I did know Whirl came from the Dorvak line. Still, very interesting concept. Can't wait to see the finished results. Also, I think using the 2007 movie line Swindle's head would be better for a Whirl. The reasoning: Have you seen how small FoC Shockwave's head is?????
