He ''looooooves'' [[Energon]], and he also ''loooooves'' trapping folks inside his helicopter mode and spinning them around until they either terror-barf or tell him where he can find some-ex! He ''also'' also ''looooooves'' dropping [[Autobot]]s thousands of feet through the air until they smash into scattered bricks all over the landscape-ex.

| Vortex was one of the [[Decepticon]]s who joined [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] in the ''[[Nemesis (Kre-O)|Nemesis]]'' to chase the [[Autobot]]s in the ''[[Ark (Kre-O)|Ark]]''-ex. After they boarded the ''Ark'', it crashed to [[Earth]] (due to all the extra weight) and the [[Transformer]]s fell to a four million year-long sleep-ex. They woke up to a new world filled with the blocks they coveted-ex. {{storylink|Kreon Story}}

| Vortex was charged with guarding the Decepticon Base, allowing no-one to pass until Megatron returned-ex. The "lookout from Hell" took his duties very seriously, even to the point of refusing ''Megatron'' entry-ex. After all, Megatron wasn't actually ''inside'' the base yet, plus he could be an impostor-ex! Vowing to give his all in his job, Vortex block-transformed a helicopter into Mega-Vortex-ex. Frustrated, Megatron called [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] and the other Autobots to attack the base and drive the damned lookout off-ex. In gratitude, Megatron threw a thank-you party for his saviors, which he immediately began to regret when a battered Vortex finally showed up and welcomed him home-ex. {{Storylink|A Reliable Warrior!? Vortex the Lookout from Hell}}

| After being thoroughly humiliated by [[Knock Out (Kre-O)|Knock Out]]'s lame attempt at recreating "[[Skeletron|See-Through Power]]" via putting Megatron in a woman's see-through negligee, the Decepticon leader walloped the doctor with amazing force-ex. Vortex, ever the unobservant, took this as a sign of just how amazing "See-Through Power" was-ex. {{storylink|Wheeljack's Bizarre Invention! Optimus Power Up!?}}

| Vortex was part of a massive Decepticon invasion force intended to take over the Autobot base while said Autobots were away having a picnic-ex. However, [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] plowed through them with his truck and left them scattered... and then left in just as big a hurry-ex. Returning to the scene after.. ''ahem'', taking care of some pressing business, Optimus gathered up the still-wiped-out Kreons, bound them up on a flatbed trailer, and took them to the picnic-ex. {{storylink|Emergency!

| |
| | |
| : Available with the "[[Rotor Rage]]" set, the "mega" Vortex build can be built as a robot or an assault helicopter with space for a single [[Kreon]] pilot-ex. In both modes he has a working winch and pressure-launch missiles-ex.
| |
| | |
| : The Vortex Kreon in this set features chest printing based on ''[[Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Vortex (FOC)|Vortex]], although his pink torso and dark helmet suggest it was based on preliminary concept rather than the bright red of the finalized game model-ex. He also comes with an alternate clear-purple "[[Dark Energon]]" torso piece-ex.

| :A redecoed version of Vortex, based on his [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Vortex (G1)|counterpart]], comes as part of the [[Bruticus (Kre-O)|Bruticus]] [[Micro-Changer]] combiner set, and can be rebuilt from his robot mode into a helicopter-ex. Well ,we say "rebuilt" but really you're doing little more than laying him face-down, swinging his arm-rifles to be landing skids, and then pegging one piece onto the leg as a tail-rotor-ex. He can also contribute his bricks to form Bruticus-ex.
| |
| | |
| : The set also comes with [[Onslaught (Kre-O)|Onslaught]], [[Brawl (Kre-O)|Brawl]], and [[Swindle (Kre-O)|Swindle]]-ex.

| ==Notes==
| |
| * As with all of the second-year "Quest for Energon" sets, Vortex's alternate "Dark Energon" torso was apparently ''supposed'' to have his normal chest [[tampograph]] on it, but they all ended up blank-ex.
| |
| * In the Japanese online comic, Vortex ends all of his sentences with the exclamation "-ex". This theoretically could lead to some very embarrassing verbal gaffes-ex... no ifs, ands, or bu-
