'''Tomahawk''' is on the run. Taking advantage of his slow speed, [[Jetblade]] and [[Terradive (TF 2010)|Terradive]] have decided to break cover and chase him. Sucks to be them, since Tomahawk specializes in destroying 'bots faster than he is with his heat-seeking missiles.<ref>Tomahawk's bio</ref><br />

===''Unite for the Universe''===<br />
When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] used the [[Project Unite|Unite]] process to power himself up and challenge [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s leadership, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] was dispatched with a weapon that would fry the Unite components and neutralize the threat. Tomahawk and [[Highbrow (TF 2010)|Highbrow]] flew escort for the [[NEST]] plane carrying Ratchet to the battle zone. {{storylink|The Strongest Weapon}}<br />

*'''Tomahawk''' (Deluxe Class, 2010)<br />
**''Japanese ID number'': '''AA-12'''<br />
**''Accessories'': Left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles<br />
<br />
: Part of the third wave of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toys]], Tomahawk transforms into a slightly futuristic strike helicopter, sporting an amalgamation of features from both the [[wikipedia:Eurocopter_Tiger|Eurocopter Tiger]] and the ADH-02 Hellhound attack helicopter from ''[[wikipedia:Patlabor|Patlabor]]''. He comes with spring-loaded missile launchers that mount under his wings. In robot mode he is armed with "snapping pincers" on his right forearm, while his missile launchers end up over his shoulders. They can also be detached and held in his hands or clipped onto his forearms using the [[c joint]] system if you so choose. In vehicle mode, the camera array under his cockpit can rotate left or right.<br />
<br />
:This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''[[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Vortex (ROTF)|Vortex]]. Much like his wave-mate [[Terradive (TF 2010)|Terradive]], Tomahawk's instructions show him with Vortex's retooled head instead of his own.<br />

==Notes==<br />
*Upon close inspection, Tomahawk appears to share certain similarities with a design, created by [[Josh Nizzi]], for an Autobot AH-64 Apache named Longbow - which he entered for a ''USA Today'' contest to design a Transformer.<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/community/photos/publicgalleryphoto.htm?plckPhotoID=066ba23c-ce62-4390-9f95-658585228de9&plckGalleryID=4f01ed2c-39f0-4984-8d25-3125507394a8&loc=interstitialskip USA Today gallery page for Longbow]</ref><br />
<br />
*On the [[cross-sell]] for Tomahawk on Terradive's packaging, he's listed as a Decepticon.<br />
<br />
*Interestingly the missile launchers also fit on the Dark of the Moon figures.<br />
