Vortex came with:
helicopter blades
2 purple cannons, left and right
1 purple pistol (photo not available)



G2 Vortex was released in 1994. He forms the arm of Bruticus. He is one of the five Combaticons.

Be careful of the many bootlegs that have shiny, low quality plastic parts and "white-backed" stickers. There were four different official releases of each Combaticon.
