Description
Vortex is the type of fighter who doesn't care for style or flair just to get the job done. In fact, his fighting style is very unorthodox that many opponents find him baffling. (Think of Voldo from the Namco SoulCalibur videogame series) He twists his head and does this weird gyrating motion, kinda like snake slithering towards it's prey.I wanted to make Vortex stand out so i gave him the Bell AH-1 Cobra helicopter and also made him a unique melee type of fighter.

Is your version of Vortex capable of unleashing hurricane force winds with his rotary blades?

You could say that's one of his abilities.

Thanks! I notice that you feature DA artists on your page that you like. Even if my gallery doesn't compare to them somewhat, i appreciate the gesture.
What i try to with Transformers is make them contemporary and modern without losing the classic Generation One vibe and feel to these characters and so far judging from the posts and watchers that i've been getting, it seems that i'm doing something right.

love the fact he's a cobra and the way you've position his blades on top of his head is a big risk to take to match his abilities. Again fred you've push your ideas to beyond limit of imagination. hat's off to you dude.

Exactly. I've always liked this helicopter ever since the old G.I.Joe cartoon series. Wild Bill is one of my favorites and this was his "horse" so to speak. The fact that it is named a Cobra, i decided to play on that and design him in a way that he looks unique. And also, he fights like Voldo of the Soulcalibur 3d videogame swordfighting series from Namco, where he moves and kinda slithers like a snake. I haven't seen a Transformer fight like that so why not adapt it to Vortex.

i likeΒ the you give him a snake like feeling. Now he'll be hard to beat.

Yup. They didn't do much with the character in the old series so i just played with him and there you go.

Gave him the respect he deserves.

To make him unique and give him his own identity.

Okay (if the propeller is removable and usable as a melee weapon.)

It is removable and can be used as a hand held weapon but he prefers to fight "Voldo" style.

A very unorthodox character from the 3d swordfighting game Soulcalibur from Namco, the company that gave you the Tekken series. Here's a pic of him:Β www.fightersgeneration.com/cha...

I like the modern look to him, is his alt mode a modified Apache helicopter?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope. It's a Huey Cobra. So what else did you like about Vortex?

The robot design is awesome, and the colors you gave him reminds me of his G1 self.
