Vortex

Vortex is a cybertronian male and the resident interrogator of the Combaticons, a team of Decepticons led by Onslaught that can combine into the fearsome form of "Bruticus." As an aerial soldier, Vortex is cruel, merciless and unrelenting in his attacks. But it's when he gets his hands on captive Autobots that he really gets nasty. Once they're in his clutches, he takes a passionate, sadistic glee in brutally cutting them apart. Actually questioning them is a secondary concern, and his sadism in regards to interrogation is second only to the even more heinous Airachnid.
During the Great War of Cybertron, Vortex went with the Combaticons to ambush the Autobot commander Elita One when she was alone on the planet Ahch-To, sending her into stasis for the next six thousand years. After it was revealed that she was still alive, Vortex was sent with Onslaught and fellow Combaticon, Blast Off, to ensure her destruction. Vortex and his allies engaged Elita One and her Andromedan allies―including the two Jedi, Jarik Shan and Mara Jade―on numerous occasions before eventually confronting her in a final stand on Ahch-To, easily shrugging off resistance from the native Dragon Riders. Before they could complete their mission, however, they were interrupted by the sudden appearance of the two battle-hardened Autobots Ironhide and Chromia, who had been sent by Optimus Prime to find Elita. Unprepared for their arrival, Vortex attempted to fight but was easily defeated by the much more fierce and deadly Ironhide, who fired a missile at point blank range to kill him.
Due to his and Blast Off's deaths, the Combaticons were no longer able to combine into Bruticus.
