LONG-DISTANCE FOOTBALL: Throw longer passes with the Nerf Vortex Aero Howler, the classic long-distance foam football Vortex's original design art (right) used the same color scheme as his Generation 1 counterpart, and this art found its way into some significant promotional use. On the other hand, exactly what caused the change to his color palette is unknown as all other Combaticons adhere to their Generation 1 colors. Unsurprisingly for an Aligned toy inspired by Generation 1, Fall of Cybertron Vortex appeared in many Generation 1-based stories. The TakaraTomy deco of this toy appeared in the Transformers: All Spark manga series and the Transformers Cloud illustrated text stories. This toy also serves as a rough stand-in for Vortex's body in IDW Publishing's Windblade vol. 2 comic series.

Win If You Dare For no apparent reason, Vortex did not appear alongside the other Combaticons in IDW Publishing's 2012- 2014 "season 1" of the Robots in Disguise comic series. The others did, redesigned as many series characters were after concept art for their counterparts in the War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron console games. Vortex finally returned to IDW continuity in 2015's Windblade vol. 2 #7, having the Generation 1 body but in his Fall of Cybertron color scheme. This would be revised in the next year's Till All Are One #1 to the team being unified as stylised drawings of Combiner Wars toy designs. Vortex's body parts are available to Scientist-class characters in Fall of Cybertron multiplayer, identified as Vanguard-type components. Because of his unique vehicle mode, there are no Vanguard-type wings. However, wings from other characters can be used by equipping the desired wings on one chest, then switching over to the Vanguard chest. They are only visible on the tail of the helicopter, however. Vortex and the rest of the Combaticons charged down a ravine to face-off against Metroplex. As they neared him, the Combaticons combined into Bruticus and took to the skies. Bruticus and Metroplex commercialIn the Wings of Honor continuity the Combaticons are swayed to the Decepticon side by Deathsaurus appealing to their darker natures, represented by one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Vortex's vice is his love of fine oil, most likely to represent Gluttony. The two teams assumed at first that their task would be do some heavy-lifting for the scientists. Upon their arrival, they found out that they were to fight off Decepticon incursions in the area, and that an artifact uncovered by dig coordinator Flipsides and her team could be pivotal in the upcoming war. Said artifact was the Heart of the Dragon, an ancient personality component for a 'bot of mass destruction. At this time, Vortex discovered that they wouldn't be able to call for reinforcements in the event they needed them; Median was so remote that their radios didn't have the power to reach civilization. Do you need to use a cup to make your air cannon? Could it be a bottle instead? A bottle already has the perfect smaller tapered end! And do we need a rubber band? No. It worked! Our 2 piece, bottle and balloon air vortex, works!

A reissue of the original G1 Vortex toy at first sight, this toy is actually a redeco of the Robots in Disguise Ro-Tor retool of the sculpt. This version of Vortex was only available as part of a Bruticus gift set released under TakaraTomy's Encore line of reissues. Why does the air move? Generally, it’s because of air pressure caused by temperature changes and moves from high pressure to low pressure. This is when we see storms pop up, but we can also see it on an ordinary day too with a soft breeze.

Vortex's original Bio motto, " I'm Vortex, fly me - if you dare!" is a humorous reworking of a controversial 1971 National Airlines advertising campaign (created by F. William Free), where National's female flight attendants invited potential passengers to "fly" them. In Vortex's case, his offer leads to the Autobots' doom! Vortex's alt-mode is unusual in that while in it he is normally configured as a helicopter (fitting the trend of other Vortexes in the multiverse), but converts to a jet-like form when using his ability to boost (this would technically classify him as a gyrodyne). Unfortunately, it appears that the toy is not capable of replicating this "boost mode". This was the least of their troubles, however, as Predaking showed up as soon as Sky Lynx was deactivated. This encounter also did not end well. The Route of All Evil STEP 1: First, you want to cut off the ends of the bottle and balloon as shown in the picture below.

Seeking to create a Decepticon Zone to counter the Autobot Zone, Emperor of Destruction Violengiguar gathered together the Nine Great Demon Generals, upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets.

Super Robot Lifeform Transformers comic When a team of Autobots led by Mirage went on the offensive, Blast Off, Swindle and Vortex used superior military tactics to fight them off. War Dawn In 1988, GiG also re-released the Bruticus set in Italy, with five random "Exogini Transformers" ( Decoys) added. But prior to their main mission, the Autobot High Council sent out the Combaticons on a more diplomatic mission for the Elite Guard. Teamed with their fellow squad, Metalhawk's Strike Team, Vortex and the Combaticons were to meet up with an archeological team stationed in Median and aid them guard what Alpha Trion assured them to be a find of monumental importance. This toy doubles as the separate Beast Wars: Uprising character Vorter, and this mold was also used to make Torque Gain and Universe Cloudraker and Crosshairs.

This sculpt was also used to make Timelines Topspin, as well as the United versions of Vortex (see below) and Swindle. Another planned redeco, Movie Reverb, was canceled. The Transformers Vortex transforms into a Kaman SH-2 Seasprite helicopter. He is armed with a small, chin-mounted semi-automatic glue gun and two large, tri-barrel Gatling guns mounted astern on his tail. In 1991, Vortex was re-released as part of the European " Classics" line; like many toys released in this series, Vortex was retooled to remove the rubsign indent from his vehicle mode. STEP 2: Decorate the bottle if desired! (Optional) This step can be done before or after the next step depending on what you want to do to it.Vortex later watched and cheered as Scorponok officially took leadership of the Decepticons. I Risk My Life for Earth As Bruticus's arm, he later tried to lure Fortress Maximus away from the Decepticon base on Master, but it didn't work. The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide Bruticus was later seen laughing with Predaking as they sank the luxury liner Queen World in the Atlantic Ocean. The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1) Naturally, Vortex and the Combaticons were part of the final climactic battle with the Autobot army at the North Pole, and retreated into space when Scorponok's plan to tear Earth apart appeared to become a reality. The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2) Unite Warriors In the Japanese online Kre-O manga, Vortex ends all of his sentences with the exclamation "-ex". This theoretically could lead to some very embarrassing verbal gaffes-ex... no ifs, ands, or bu- There are a few variations of this toy. Initial releases of Vortex gave him a die-cast metal chestplate painted deep purple. Later releases replaced the metal with lighter-purple plastic. At Megatron's command, Vortex began scouting human energy projects for possible sources of energon for the Decepticons to steal. Hovering over Energy Futures Industries on the Oregon coast, Vortex learned about a new device called a hydrothermocline, which could potentially summon limitless energy from beneath the seas. He summoned Megatron and the rest of the Combaticons for a late night raid. Unfortunately for them, the Autobots had been doing a little spying of their own, and the Combaticons found Optimus Prime and the Protectobots lying in wait at EFI when they arrived. Optimus and Megatron were busy measuring who had the biggest gestalt when Ethan Zachary, a human programmer working at EFI, offered them a better solution than brawling. Using his Multi-World video game scenario, Zachery could upload the Autobots and Decepticons into the game, allowing them to fight without risking the hydro-whatsis or innocent lives in the process. A redeco of the Classics Mini-Con Divebomb, Vorter now transforms into an AH-64D Longbow Apache assault helicopter.
