The Tragic Watchmaker Before his mutilation, Whirl was not a violent psychopath; he was a gentle, deeply precise chronosmith (watchmaker). Under Cybertron's oppressive "Functionist" regime, citizens were strictly forced into jobs dictated by their alternate modes. Because Whirl transformed into a helicopter, he was ordered to serve in the Aerial Corps. Whirl defied the regime to pursue his passion for building delicate, intricate clocks. As punishment for his defiance, the Senate ruined his business and subjected him to Empurata. Stripped of the hands required to practice his life's passion, Whirl became destitute, bitter, and profoundly traumatized.
