Revenge of the Fallen Vortex is a redeco of Energon Blackout and Stormcloud, transforming into an assault helicopter somewhat similar to an AH-1 Cobra. He was available with the Revenge of the Fallen Bruticus Maximus giftset, and when combined with the other Combaticons, Vortex forms a limb. "V-1" is tampographed on the right side of his cockpit.

The mold was also redecoed into Classics Topspin and Revenge of the Fallen Swindle (who is indistinguishable from Universe Swindle). Vortex is also identical to his Universe counterpart.
