Just got Generations Whirl from HTS yesterday after being on backorder for three weeks. Highly anticipated and it's great that I finally have him in my collection (the Gen. Vortex remold just wasn't cutting it).

Hopefully the next wave of Cyberverse/Legends 2-packs and deluxes come out soon. I need more Lost Light crew members!

His popularity is largely due to his current comic depiction in the More Than Meets The Eye ongoing series from IDW. But I won't deny that for me personally, it's a mix of that, Dorvack memories and good ol' G1 nostalgia.

That you can blame on the original toy design for the Gazette from Dorvack. I'm perfectly fine with it (it's a vast improvement, frankly), but I can totally understand why someone else wouldn't be into him because of that.
