Profile: Before war broke out across Cybertron, our fearless highflying hero was a student of Whirl’s at the Iaconic Aerial Academy. His instructor’s harsh way of teaching helped Rotorstorm develop into the best airborne warrior possible, and after the many long vorns following dramatic and tragic events, our valiant hero has only grown in his personal stature of greatness. Fortunately, his boastings are all true, though maybe highly exaggerated, he is actually quite the warrior, and he is actually well liked by many of his comrades in arms. His stories have even gone so far as to strike fear into quite a number of Decepticons.

He has a brash and bold attitude, often rude and he’s completely full of himself. He’s one of those types who thinks he’s always right unless proven wrong, a tough talker who happily makes quips and aggressive remarks. However, despite his unattractive qualities, he is deeply caring and protective of his comrades and would go out of his way to do anything to help them and keep them safe. His sheer bravery also leads him headfirst and headstrong into battle, as a fierce and surprisingly intelligent fighter. He likens himself as being a strategist, although he wouldn't openly admit a lot of his strategy is oftentimes made “on the fly” and improvised based on the situation at hand (he will swear he “saw it coming” and knew what to do, just to make himself seem all the more perfect).

Abilities: Rotorstorm takes great pride in being the Turbomasters’ only flying unit. He can fly up to a top speed of Mach 0.9 in his alt mode, quite fast but not as fast as most jet planes are capable of. However, he makes up for this with maneuverability and his quick-witted thinking skills, making him just as deadly a foe. He carries with him a variety of ammo to cover various needs on the battlefront, and his specialized turbine launchers can shoot his missiles quite far (up to a mile from himself). Rotorstorm can also utilize his rotor-blade as a sword-like weapon in his robot mode for melee combat when necessary.

Weaknesses: Though he exudes an aire of confidence nearly all the time, Rotorstorm actually suffers from PTSD due to the traumatic event of the Simanze Massacre. The mentioning of the event, as well as certain triggers reminding him of it, causes him to waver in confidence and can affect his effectiveness in battle.
