'''Tornado''' makes a living by betraying people, apparently. Once a professional saboteur, then a [[Decepticon]] rebel. Then dead.

===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{Note|This character solely appeared in [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|UK-only]] stories, which are not continuity for all Marvel US's branches.}}

Tornado, before the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], was a saboteur working for the city of [[Vos]]. He intended to bomb [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]]'s power plant during the [[Games]], when it would be running on a skeleton crew, and pin it on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], which would result in a war after which Vos would grab all the power.

Unfortunately, this was not to be. A lowly second engineer in the power plant spotted the saboteurs and informed his superiors of their plan. While Tornado killed him before he could give the requested confirmation, when the bomb went off Vos was blamed instead, beginning a devastating war between Vos and Tarn which would end in the complete destruction of both. After this, he was amongst the survivors recruited by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] into his new faction of [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|State Games}}

He would not last long . After trying to rebel against the Decepticons. he opted for Trial By Combat, where he faced his former comrade [[Earthquake (G1)|Earthquake]]. Though boastful of his superior speed, he didn't make it out alive. In fact, neither of them did.

Watching this on a tape millions of years later, Megatron thought that this would be a good way to rid himself of [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]]. {{storylink|The Enemy Within!}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers5-TornadoMacabre.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
Tornado was a member of [[Squadron X]], a team of Decepticons which served as a brutal counterpart to the Autobots' [[Wrecker]]s. Tornado was especially notable for having the highest killcount and being [[Macabre]]'s right-hand man. This led to [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]] promising him a position within [[Decepticon High Command]] "come the revolution". {{storylink|The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Tornado's Squadron X profile}} 

The rivalry between the Wreckers and Squadron X came to a head on [[Pova]], and victory seemed within their grasp when [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] was trapped under rubble. Tornado, Earthquake and [[Macabre]] advanced on the Autobots' position, but [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] fired through Springer's torso at them, and this surprise tactic turned the tide against them. Tornado and the others were put in inhibitor harnesses and contained, ready for justice.  

According to [[Ironfist (G1)|Fisitron]]'s ''[[Wreckers: Declassified]]'' datalogs, Tornado and the rest of Squadron X were able to somehow escape their harnesses, forcing the Wreckers to execute rather than imprison them. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4|Last Stand of the Wreckers #4}}

Except that they didn't actually break out. Impactor shot them all in cold blood instead. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

==Notes==
*The pages with Tornado and Earthquake were originally printed in black and white in ''Transformers'' (UK) #15. They were colourised for inclusion in ''[[Transformers Collected Comics|Transformers Collected Comics 4]]''.
*The wiki may be inadvertently responsible, in a similar way to [[Macabre#Notes|what happened with Macabre's colours]], for Tornado's yellow crest in ''Last Stand of the Wreckers'', owing to [http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/6/6b/20140213023818%21TornadoEnemyWithin.jpg a faded mainpic which had been cut out from its' background]. The IDW ''[[The Transformers Classics UK Volume 1]]'' reprint of the ''Collected Comics 4'' colourised version shows no trace of yellow on his head!
