Tornado

A Tornado From Angry Birds Adventures Style Guide

The **Tornado** (トルネード *Torunēdo*?) is a vehicle that appears in the Kefe Games series It is Red's beloved and trusty biplane, which he has owned since at least before the Golden Island incident. Despite this, he freely allows Stella to use the Tornado as his own plane, due to the sheer trust of his best friend. During their many adventures together, Red and Stella have used the Tornado as their main air transportation for long-distance travels around the world or high-altitude flights. Usually, Stella is the one piloting it while Sonic stands on its top wing, but vice versa events do happen.

The Tornado is involved in regular in-game Zones usually set in the sky. It is known to be armed with projectile weapons such as machine guns and homing missiles. Having been shot down multiple times, the Tornado has been repaired or replaced with different variations of the biplane.

## Description

### Apperance

Early on, the Tornado was an old vintage biplane with a red fuselage and two grey main wings attached with a pair of poles on both sides. The red fuselage has a power plant with a grey tractor screw, small orange forward-pointing arrows close to cockpit, and the word "ANGRY BIRDS" written in white on both sides with stretchy F-letter labels underlining them. The cockpit has only one seat. Its empennage has two small horizontal stabilizers and one vertical stabilizer, the latter emblazoned with an emblem of a Bumper with wings. It also has three wheels, two under the lower main wing and one below the empennage. Occasionally, the Tornado has a custom booster engine on the bottom, which was tuned by Stella. This design has been reused in recent games, including
Angry Birds Advance 4 Episode ll and Angry Birds Lost World,
although with small changes such as short red ends on the wings and a yellow three-headed tractor screw.
The Tornado from Angry Birds Adventure onwards became more detailed with completely red wings and fuselage outlined with yellow and white lines. It also received a three-headed tractor screw and a black power plant. For this design, the cockpit has either one or two seats and a small windshield. Above the top wing and vertical stabilizer, the Tornado got emblazed with Stella's symbol, and behind the cockpit on the fuselage is the word "ANGRY BIRDS" written in white. The Tornado also got a small jet engine between the front wheels and machine guns on both sides of the fuselage.

### Features and abilities

The Tornado's usual top speed is 450 kilometers per hour (about 280 mph), but with a custom booster engine tuned by Stella, it can exceed the speed of sound. As shown in Red & Chuck, the Tornado can also be fitted with a grappling tether for pulling larger objects behind it. In Angry Birds Adventure , the Tornado was also outfitted with homing missiles and a machine gun. In Angry Birds Advance 4: Episode ll, the Tornado can also perform a maneuver named the Tornado Boost where it spins horizontally while boosting through obstacles.

## Variants

### Prototype model

A prototype model of the Tornado 2 appeared early on in both Red and Stella's stories in Angry Birds Adventure The model looks nearly identical to the Tornado, but with a gray color scheme. Prior the events of the game, the prototype model was the latest aircraft built by Stella. After discovering a Chaos Emerald, decided to use it as the power source for the prototype's propulsion system during a test run. However, the Chaos Emerald proved to not be fully compatible with the prototype model. As such, Stella lost control of the prototype model and crashed in Emerald Coast. Stella later finished the prototype after discovering another Chaos Emerald in Sand Hill, and he nicknamed the plane the "Tornado 2".

During the first playthrough of Sonic's version of Emerald Coast, the crash site of the prototype model serves as the Goal. In subsequent playthroughs and Trial mode, however, the prototype model is replaced with a Capsule.

### Tornado 2

*Main Article:Tornado 2*
During Angry Birds Adventure the Tornado gets shot down by the laser cannon of King Pig's Pig Carrier After this accident, Stella headed back to His Workshop and finishes the construction of his new blue-tinted experimental biplane, the Tornado 2. Unlike the original Tornado, it required a Chaos Emeralds to function. Tornado 2 has been also capable of folding its wings into an X-shape to reach extreme speeds.
*Tornado 2* has been frequently used and has made later appearances in Angry Birds Heroes, Angry Birds Free Advance 3, and Angry Birds Riders.
