WHIRLYBIRD
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: AERIAL DEMOLITIONS
FIRST APPEARANCE: "THE REBIRTH" PART 3
"Destroy everything, and then destroy some
more!"
Profile: Nothing is safe from being
demolished when Whirlybird is on the scene. Once he arrives, he shoots
everything in sight and doesn't stop until he's completely exhausted his
weapons. Even running out of ammunition doesn't stop himhe just
starts pummeling things with his fists. It's not that he's particularly
angry; he just really enjoys destroying things. The other Decepticons
have given up trying to reason with him. Now, they just run for cover
as soon as he shows up and they hope he does more damage to the Autobots
than he does to them!
Abilities: In helicopter mode,
Whirlybird uses two tail-mounted energy beam guns that can bind targets together
with an unbreakable column of pure energy. This enables him to take
down his targets more easily with the use of his nose-mounted laser blaster
cannon. He can also use all of these weapons as a robot. Although
this strategy has proven remarkably effective during the few times that he's
actually bothered to utilize it, Whirlybird rarely has the patience for it.
He favors a berserker approach instead, firing blindly and hoping that
he puts enough holes in the Autobots to take them down.
Weaknesses: Whirlybird is more
destructive than useful. On a good day, he only manages to wreck useful
tools, equipment, and supplies. On a bad day, he ends up putting his
own allies in the repair bay. Also, his rotor blades are his weakest
part, and he is completely incapacitated as a helicopter if they are
damaged.
