Tomahawk (TF 2010)

This article is about the Autobot from the 2010 Transformers toyline. For the helicopter used by G.I. Joe, see Tomahawk (G.I. Joe).

Tomahawk is an Autobot from the 2010 Transformers toyline.

Tomahawk is on the run. Taking advantage of his slow speed, Jetblade and Terradive have decided to break cover and chase him. Sucks to be them, since Tomahawk specialises in destroying 'bots faster than he is with his heat-seeking missiles.

First guy to say "Get to da choppah!!" gets his bits choppah'd off. Capiche?

• Tomahawk (Deluxe Class, 2010)
  • Japanese ID number: AA-12
  • Accessories: Left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles

Part of the third wave of 2010 Transformers toys, Tomahawk transforms into a slightly futuristic strike helicopter, sporting an amalgamation of features from both the Eurocopter Tiger and the ADH-02 Hellhound attack helicopter from Patlabor. He comes with spring-loaded missile launchers that mount under his wings. In robot mode he is armed with "snapping pincers" on his right forearm, while his missile launchers end up over his shoulders. They can also be detached and held in his hands or clipped onto his forearms using the 3mm clip system if you so choose. In vehicle mode, the camera array under his cockpit can rotate left or right.

Much like his wave-mate Terradive, his instructions show him with a retooled head.

Notes

• Upon close inspection, Tomahawk appears to share certain similarities with a design, created by Josh Nizzi, for an Autobot AH-64 Apache named Longbow - which he entered for a USA Today contest to design a Transformer.
