A repaint of Turbomaster Rotorstorm was released as a homage to Generation 1 Whirl in the Transformers: Universe toy line. He came with two Mini-Con partners, but had no Mini-Con points to connect them. He appeared in the Transformers: Universe comics by 3H, but spoke no lines, and received no tech specs of bio. Most fans assume he is an upgrade of Generation 1 Whirl.▼
In the comic story found in issue 8 of the Transformers Collectors Club magazine ''Cybertron/Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime told the story of the last battle he was in, set in the Transformers: Universe storyline.

The fusilage length of the actual helicoper Whirl is based on is 11.64 meters long. The Micro class version of the toy is only 10.5 centimeters long, giving it a scale of about 1:110. Using this information would indicate Whirl would stand about 23 feet tall in robot mode.▼

:The toy relicensed from the Japanese [[anime]] series [[Special Armored Batallion Dorvack|Dorvack]]. The original robot was the "''VH-64 MR Oberon Gazzette,''" designed by Katsumi Itabashi and Nobuyoshi Haraba in 1983.
:In the 1980's Transformers were such a success that Hasbro wanted to get as much product out on the shelves with the Transformers name on it as possible. Since they were running out of old Takara molds to use, they obtained licences to use the molds of other companies' robot toys in the Transformers line. Shockwave, Jetfire, Omega Supreme, Roadbuster, Whirl, Chop Shop, Venom, Barrage and Ransack were among those molds. With the licences to those toys now expired Hasbro and Takara no longer have legal rights to those figures and cannot reissue them.
