The name or term "Vortex" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Vortex (disambiguation).
Vortex is a Decepticon from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

Vortex is the resident interrogator of the Combaticons. As an aerial solider, he is cruel, merciless and unrelenting in his attacks. But it's when he gets his hands on captive Autobots 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.
