Hurricane is an Autobot Turbomaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

"Here I am, rock you like a me!"

Hurricane is the Turbomasters' Defense Tactics Specialist. He's responsible for formulating their defensive strategies, and uses his intense attention to detail, and his near-clairvoyant forward-thinking, to plan for any eventuality.

When Perceptor left them alone, however, the Turbomasters partook in a game of tear'n'chase.

Due to Dreamwave's closure, the War Within series ended prematurely. Years later, Simon Furman released the unpublished scripts to the final three issues: Following Flash's sudden disappearance, Hurricane and the other Turbomasters argued with Perceptor over what had happened in their absence. Perceptor eventually realized that Flash had been drawn through the Interfacer, but was unable to deal with the situation as the examination of a captured Aerospace Extermination Squadron drone took priority.
