| '''Vortex''' is the resident interrogator of the [[Combaticon (ROTF)|Combaticons]]. As an aerial soldier, he is cruel, merciless and unrelenting in his attacks. But it's when he gets his hands on captive [[Autobot]]s that he ''really'' gets nasty. Once they're in his clutches, he takes a passionate, sadistic glee in brutally cutting them apart. Actually ''questioning'' them is a secondary concern.

| :''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Vortex is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Blackout (combiner)|Blackout]] and [[Stormcloud (Energon)|Stormcloud]], transforming into an assault helicopter somewhat similar to an AH-1 Cobra. He was available with the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Bruticus Maximus (ROTF)|Bruticus Maximus]] giftset, and when combined with the other Combaticons, Vortex forms a limb. "V-1" is [[tampograph]]ed on the right side of his cockpit.
| |
| | |
| : The mold was also [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]] and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Swindle (ROTF)|Swindle]]. ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Vortex and Swindle were also sold in the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' line as [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Vortex (G1)#Universe (2008)|Vortex]] and [[Swindle (G1)#Universe (2008)|Swindle]]. Another planned redeco, [[Movie (franchise)|movie]] [[Reverb (Movie)|Reverb]], was canceled.

| | |
| : Available only in the [[TakaraTomy]] ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' toyline, Vortex is a [[retool]] and redeco of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Tomahawk (TF 2010)|Tomahawk]], transforming 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 has a new head and a retool of [[Roadbuster (DOTM)#Deluxe Class toys|Roadbuster]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon, replacing the saw blades with two halves of a "Glue Machine Gun" barrel. In robot mode, he is armed with "snapping pincers" on his right forearm. While he does not come with Tomahawk's missile launchers, he still has the numerous [[c joint]] compatible bars for attaching weapons to. Vortex also features a new [[5mm post|5mm post-hole]] for his MechTech weapon on the swiveling "camera" underneath his vehicle mode cockpit. Like other TakaraTomy-only redecos, his paint details are heavily based off the original use of the mold.
| |
| | |
| : The original version of this mold (but with Vortex's head) was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Spinister (G1)#Timelines|Spinister]], and was retooled to make ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Springer (G1)#Generations|Springer]].
