Tornado was agreed to be one of the tougher [[Middleweight]]s and the only [[HS]] in that weight class. The main weapon is two [[Sledgehammer]]s on a spinning bar, plus two 20cm pole spikes that does seem to be for looks. The bot can be easily flipped and [[gyro dance]]s easily, which is a frequent problem for it in battle. It also spins his weapon only when the enemy is close, and that is a bad idea for his damaging potential.

The main weapon is two [[sledgehammers]] on a spinning bar, plus two 20cm pole spikes, so that it does not get stuck on its top. The bot can be easily flipped and [[Mauler Dance]]s easily, which is a frequent problem for it in battle. It also spins his weapon only when the enemy is close, which hampers its effectiveness and damage potential.

The DSL version of Tornado is a shell spinner called Tempest.

Depending of the builder's robot type favoritism, either this or Slashback are considered the best DSL 2.1 MW's. The 3mm aluminum armor doesn't hinder it a lot since it has a Titanium Half Sheet on the base plate, and its high damage potential. However, despite the polycarbonate extenders and sheets it still isn't very good at self-righting and if your bot lands a powerful hit on it (or rips off a hammer), it will probably tumble all across the arena.
