[[File:RBA Whirl.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|"He said...no? Well. There's only one thing to do -- look him in the eye, nod politely, and KILL THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF HIM!"]]

'''Whirl''' aspires to be a [[Rescue Bot]] police officer like [[Chase (RB)|Chase]], though while she has a non-nonsense approach, Whirl is all optimism and heavily into [[Earth]] culture like fellow copter-bot [[Blades (RB)|Blades]]. Her enthusiasm for the work can be overwhelming, and her sense of judgement may lead to some simply ''ridiculous'' theories and quotes, giving her fellow recruits pause; more often than not she's proven right, though it may take some time for her friends to follow her advice.

[[File:RecruitsI Whirl welcomes Hot Shot.jpg|thumb|left|280px|"Come on iiiin, you are missing the fuun!"]]
Whirl was among those selected to be a recruit at the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] on [[Earth]]. She was first to enthusiastically greet [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] when he arrived. She and the rest of the team subsequently took part in a rescue drill overseen by [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] but were unsuccessful in putting out a house fire thanks to the newcomer. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} Whirl and [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] tried unsuccessfully to find Hot Shot when it looked like he'd given up, but he later returned with two new alternate modes. The team went on to successfully carry out a cave rescue exercise. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}} When [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] was summoned to the academy to help Hot Shot perfect his flying, Whirl enthusiastically volunteered to take part as well, and later took part in a rescue in [[Griffin Rock]] during which Hot Shot put the lessons into practice. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}}

Following a rescue in [[Griffin Rock]], the recruits persuaded Hoist to make new rescue tools for them all. Whirl got new rotors on her arms, and though the initial test went horribly wrong, she and the other recruits enlisted the help of Boulder, and Hoist eventually perfected the tools. {{storylink|If at First...}} After Hot Shot badly damaged [[Tough Luck Chuck]] and was assigned the task of looking after the robot, he tried to foist the duty onto Whirl, who was trying to do some rescue research, only for Chuck to slip past them. They attempted to hunt him down, and eventually pursued him to [[Milford]]. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Whirl enthusiastically memorised all of the police codes Chase was teaching the recruits, and as a result, when the other recruits persuaded Chase to let them try a rescue and instead got stuck in the snow, Whirl was able to rescue them. {{storylink|Whirl'd View}} When the recruits didn't understand why Boulder was having them plant flowers, the Rescue Bot set them a task which taught them that all parts of nature are important. {{storylink|Plan Bee}}

[[File:MissionInaudible Whirl copter mode.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"I was just on an important mission to save my friends and AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THE SAME THING?!"]]
Whirl and the other recruits were bugged when [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] borrowed the trigger for the rescue alarm and had them constantly running drills to get their response time down. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}} The recruits had to contend with a runaway rock sculpture of Hot Shot's head when he decided to carve it into a mountain alongside the likenesses of the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} When Hoist was put in charge of a rescue exercise, Whirl was the only one who actually followed any of his orders, and ended up dangling over a chasm with Hot Shot, Wedge and [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] dangling from her until Hoist successfully rescued them. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} After completing a simulated rescue, despite a glitch occurring, the recruits took part in a real rescue in Griffin Rock which was only successful because the glitch gave [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] an idea to complete it safely. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}}

[[File:RescuePromo Whirl filmmaker.jpg|thumb|left|270px]]
After a ride on the ''[[Sigma]]'', the recruits assumed the four command chairs meant one of their number wouldn't graduate. The team went on to botch a volcano rescue drill after staying up all night worrying, until Heatwave told them they'd assumed wrong. {{storylink|Five Into Four}} Whirl took over filming a recruitment video for the training center, but all the footage she got was terrible and it wasn't until she told the other recruits that they were able to pitch in and help her make a workable video. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} After a botched rescue had the recruits blaming each other, Heatwave assigned them to cleaning duties. Hot Shot sneaked out to do a rescue, and as a result, the rest of the recruits had to go help him when he hit trouble. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Whirl and the other recruits set up a surprise rescue mission for Medix, who didn't get the appeal of surprises. Unfortunately the mission did not go well, and the other recruits promised to stop with the surprises. {{storylink|Surprise, Medix!}}

The recruits got to try out some [[TX3000]]s on loan to the rescue center, and even used them during an actual rescue. {{storylink|The TX3000}} They had to round up a lost flock of sheep, but were hampered by Hoist malfunctioning. {{storylink|Little Bot Peep}} When [[Lad Pioneer|Teen Pioneer]] [[Wes]] visited the base and Wedge was reluctant to spend time with the boy due to low self-confidence, Whirl pointed out that Wedge was Wes's favorite Rescue Bot. {{Storylink|Driving a Wedge}} Boulder accompanied the recruits to the planet [[Parvus]] where they rescued the last surviving [[Galax]]. {{storylink|The Big, Small Rescue}}

[[File:RBA-Fright At The Museum-Shades.jpg|thumb|right|350px|"Real badasses eat chocolate chip cookies, I'ma gonna get that tattooed across my back in Old English font."]]
When Hot Shot and Wedge decided to compete over who was qualified to get into the [[Heroes of Cybertron (cards)|Heroes of Cybertron]] card game, Medix and Whirl acted as commentators for the building and Cube challenges they undertook. {{storylink|Battle of the Bots}} While trying to round up a small rock alien that had gotten loose in the academy, Whirl temporarily got trapped in her locker. {{storylink|About a Rock}} The recruits tried to keep secret the fact a dog had followed them home after the last rescue, only to discover that the dog was actually trying to alert them to the fact they'd missed someone who needed rescuing. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Whirl took part in rescuing [[Dr Hart]] from a runaway iceberg. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}}

Inspired by Blades, Whirl took it upon herself to get into cheerleading. Though the other recruits weren't as enthused, they soon discovered that the skills they were learning were helpful during rescues, and began practicing in earnest. {{storylink|Go, Team, Go!}} When Boulder assigned the recruits smartphones so they could familiarize themselves with the devices, they began neglecting their lessons and chores, until they realized it was causing problems with their rescues. {{storylink|Screen Time}} During a trip to a museum in Milford, Whirl naturally assumed they'd encounter a heist in progress, and turned out to be right. Her policing skills resulted in her catching a thief in the act, and she was able to ferry him to the Griffin Rock jail. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}

*'''Whirl the Flight-Bot''' (2019)

: Whirl's first toy is sized similarly to the previous Megabots line, at about 11 inches tall, transforming into a helicopter in a couple of "Easy 2 Do Conversion" steps. In either bot or vehicle mode, pressing a button on her rotor causes it to spin. She comes packaged in robot mode, and helpfully, a cutout in the package allows this gimmick to be tried in-store without removing her from the package. Her engineering and transformation pattern are based on the [[Blades (RB)#RescanCopter|Rescan helicopter version of Blades]].

She is curiously still identified as a "Flight-Bot" despite her new land-based alt-mode.

==Notes==
[[File:Rescue Bots Academy Whirl.jpg|thumb|right]]
*''Rescue Bots Academy'' Whirl is the first incarnation of the character to be portrayed as a female ([[Whirl (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|IDW Whirl's]] [[holomatter]] avatar notwithstanding).
*Whirl's animation model was slightly modified from her initial promotional image by shifting the silver patch to the center of her head while recoloring the yellow chest harness sky blue.
