Description
The G1 toy and show had Vortex basically the same colors- gray, teal, and purple, but it looks to me like High Moon Studios went only by this one comic style picture to decide the in-game colors for him (pics attached).
Like the other FOC Combaticons, I painted Vortex here with more of a G1 color scheme, but keeping the wear, purple lights, and a few other details from his FoC look.

You can see the larger articulated hand I gave him in his leg in robot mode, but its a small sacrifice to make Bruticus look better.
I made the new hand removable (on a ball joint) too as seen in the 3rd pic.

This one is actually a pretty cool little figure. Maybe about as decent as Brawl. Both have at least one big flaw though. Where Brawl is to back heavy from kibble and lacks decent shoulder articulation, Vortex has his blade permanently attached in an awkward place in bot mode.
I think the only good figure of the set really is Blast Off, although even he has the thin legs like Shockwave's toy.
