Transformers Tech Specs


Vortex was an authentic reproduction of a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter who, unfortunately for such a satisfying war machine, had fat feet as a robot and a too-narrow profile as Bruticus's arm. Nevertheless, he was the most satisfyingly logical addition to the Combaticon team after Brawl. Too bad his counterpart was a space shuttle.
