Rotorstorm is an Autobot Turbomaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Another super-powerful, super-intelligent, super-heroic European Autobot with no weakness... or personality. Miss Budiansky yet?

The only airborne Turbomaster, Rotorstorm is a major asset to the team. He's a ruthless, powerful, and fearless fighter. He's feared and, more, he's respected even by the most hardened Decepticons for his brilliant strategies and blinding speed. On top of all that, he also possesses advanced technology that lets him eavesdrop on Decepticon communications and an extra "Dodge" sense (rather like that human with the magic outfit) that warns him of impending danger, letting him guide his ground based comrades out of harm's way. Rotorstorm is a force to be reckoned with.


Canadian name: Storm
French-Canadian name: Tempéte


Fiction

Catalogue comic

Rotorstorm swooped down on the Decepticon ranks attacking the Autobot base, and proceeded to fight Stalker one-on-one. He stated that Stalker "cannot win". Stalker countered that he (Rotorstorm) should "prepare to die".


Toys

Generation 1

  • Rotorstorm (Turbomaster, 1992)
I have elbows! They allow me to bend my arms to shoot the joker that bolted my knees together!
Rotorstorm transforms into a blue Cybertronic helicopter with bright translucent pink rotor blades and canopy. His turbine engines can launch his six included yellow missiles a very long distance. A button on the back of the rotor housing drops down both engines/launchers for an 'attack mode' feature. In robot mode, Rotorstorm has quite restricted articulation, and holds his turbine launchers in his hands.
This mold was retooled and redecoed to make Machine Wars Sandstorm and Universe Whirl.


Trivia

  • Rotorstorm's function of "Guide and Strategician" is a bit silly, since "Strategician" isn't a real word. Possibly it's a portmanteau of "strategist" and "magician," 'cause he's that good.
