RC Ground Effect Plane

The ekranoplan was a massive, Soviet-era aircraft that relied on ground effect to stay aloft. In this video, RC pilots test out their own homemade version of the craft, including some neat flow visualization of the wingtip vortices.

Dear Vector Prime, there's a lot of speculation that the scraplet colony Whirl took care of on the Lost Light is the same Whirl from Rescue Bots Academy, is this true???

Dear Whirl Wonderer,

As these two events took place in entirely separate universes, this is unfortunately not the case-although the tale of the two Whirls is itself quite an interesting tale.

The older Whirl was a veteran Autobot; a former drill sergeant at the Yuss flight academy, he joined the Autobots shortly after the beginning of the war—when he wasn’t distracting airborne Decepticons with a dizzying array of loops, barrel rolls, and jinks, he was hovering over the battlefield, bombarding fortifications and static artillery emplacements with homing rockets and chemical weapons. Always a tough, disciplined soldier, it was Impactor who first approached him in the hopes that he would join the venerable Wreckers—and indeed, Whirl jumped at the opportunity to join the up-and-coming squadron. I am sorry to say that Whirl’s by-the-book attitude did not fit in with the unorthodox chain of command and tactics the Wreckers so often utilized; rather than try and force his new teammates to conform, however, Whirl simply allowed his own standards to slip lower and lower. His increasingly brutal tactics on the battlefield led many of his own allies to give him a wide berth—and although some crueller ‘bots derived entertainment from his increasingly detached, sociopathic sense of humor, it was clear that he adopted this new persona, at least in part, to try and distance himself from the horrors of the war and the acts of unspeakable violence that he committed every day. 

Once Impactor finally went too far during the massacre at Triax, news of the growing “Wrecker problem” finally reached the ears of Autobot high command. In response, Impactor was court-martialed and imprisoned, and Optimus Prime appointed Ultra Magnus to replace him in the hopes that he could whip the unruly unit back into shape. Once he took over, Ultra Magnus made a point to comb through the service record of every Wrecker—and while some remained, far more were shipped off to military prison for their crimes. In some way, I think that Whirl was glad to finally be relieved from duty, even though it meant riding out the next four million years in a backwater prison. 

Once the war ended, Whirl was released as part of a general amnesty agreement and sought to find a way to atone for his crimes. In this way did he drift into the new bipartisan mentorship program, where Cybertronians helped support and care for members of the burgeoning post-war generation. In his new role, Whirl raised batch 238: a small group of new sparks that included Pipo, Gears, Twirl, Skilz, High Wire, Sparkplug, and a small blue ‘bot who was born under the name “Downwash”. Downwash grew close to Whirl due to their shared alternate mode, and although he never went into any specifics about his time in the war, I believe that Downwash grew to understand that her mentor had committed some terrible deeds in his youth. When the time came, she announced that she too would become an Autobot, the way her mentor had, and eventually changed her name to honor him. The two remain on good terms, and I understand that the elder Whirl is quite proud of her exploits as a Rescue Bot.

Is Wedge from Rescue Bots Academy the oldest of the recruits?

Dear Proto-batch Professional,

Of the five ‘bots who made up the first group of Rescue Bot Academy recruits, Wedge was the first to emerge by a significant margin. However, he was kidnapped moments after he’d emerged from the Well of All Sparks and shipped to Trepan’s neo-Decepticon blacksite for reconditioning, which greatly stunted any potential social and emotional growth that he might have made otherwise. 

As for the rest… Optimus Prime’s sacrifice reignited the Well of All Sparks; before long its frantic pulses of new lives settled into a more reasonable rhythm that shaped the lives of the new postwar Cybertronian civilization, and a new batch of protoforms arose once every few days. Thus, Medix was a member of batch 221, Whirl—formerly “Downwash”—hailed from batch 238, and Hoist batch 245. 

Hot Shot is by far the youngest of the group—along with his fellows in batch 278, he had only just left the care of his mentor Ripraw when Optimus Prime invited him to join the Rescue Bots on Earth.
