S2 Whirl

[Penguin]

Hey, did anyone notice that the pic on the Hasbro Attacktix main site has a Thrust Vehicle mode with the speed of 12?

Is this just a proto pic? If not please tell me.

--Thanks

[autobot1000]

might be one of those special numbers

I would guess that its a prototype photo. Every test shot proto I have ever bought has been on what apear to be SW1 bases. They always have incorrect specials, and always have the single set speed printed next to the window, and they never have front or rear stickers.

These early photos appear to have stickers on them. They were likely added just for the pictures. And it has been pointed out that many of the front stickers on these images seem to have been "photoshoped".

*edit*
You made me want to go back and look at the pics again. 10 out of the 18 pictures show a single speed clearly printed next to the window. But one other completely different oddity caught my eye this time around. I dont know if anyone else has pointed this out, but whirls sculpt completely covers up the top tix window.

maybe they redesigned where the tix will be, though to do that for one model is kinda mad

Wow, that's really weird. I guess it might be a proto, because Whirl's dust covers up the ticker, and that makes it impossible to use. I guess the same should go with Thrust being a proto.


Edit: I've been looking all over the place for more pics of Whirl, and every pic I've seen has a covered up ticker. I wonder what the final version of whirl will look like.

[autobot1000]

maybe they'll do something witht the general sale version. make it so you can see it

Oooo!

Maybe, the like dusty smoke-ish part will be some of that sweet translucent plastic they seem to be so fond of with the marvel figures? That would be cool.

[autobot1000]

as cool as it would be, wouldt that make seeing the numbers a little difficult.

Player 1 "Lets see Whirl goes 9 clicks"
Player 2 "Thats an 8"
Player 1 "No it's a 9"
judge "Looks like a 6 to me"
Player 1 "IT'S A FLAMING 9"

Heh heh... This scenario makes me chuckle when I think of it... ;D

lol

yeah..... Most likely.

[greyelephant]

Oh, no, not a flaming nine!


Whirl looks great. I never before noticed that you can't see him number on top. Good observation!

[Ramen Junkie]

Maybe it's a 2 with the 1 actually being light reflection from the edge of the hole.

[autobot1000]

*shakes head* what have i done....lol

I guess it will look like this pic from another thread posted by sfx5000.(Whirl's dust will be clear like Storm's)

[Megazarak]

It is a possibility that the dust will be clear, though I've never heard of clear dust, it's usually very thick and hard to see through. So, I guess the dust is either clear or has a large hole in it so you can see the number inside, I wonder which it will be?
