Unlikely that Hasbro would name a new character something as generic and hard to copyright as "tornado". Probably be something else that ends in "-nado" like Terrornado or Speednado.

FunPub got away with it in 2014, as "Pirate Tornado":
Sure, but they had to use "pirate" in order to trademark it. Hasbro doesn't like to do that so they'll certainly just make something up that's easy to own.

He's also a Rival team Decepticon murdered by Impactor.

Copyright and trademark rules are different in the US, hence them changing his name in the first place and not using it on any other figures. Comic books don't need to copyright the names as long as it isn't being used to sell a product directly which is why the IDW comics don't have to change the names of every character that Hasbro has to rename on the figures.

But then I kinda like characters having multiple names even if it's seen as an error of sorts some time it kind of adds an extra layer to the characters if they sometimes change their names (Like Trailcutter/Trailbreaker, Outback/Fallback or Galvatron/Megatron).
I'm not so keen when names get re-used in the same continuity though such as with Tracer or Sky High.
I don't think Windrazor Tornado works ideally though name wise as a single name Tornado-Razor perhaps ?.
But then the name use issue is also an issue with RID a it does cause some headaches about Grimlock and Sideswipe (for example) in that line.

The curious thing is its not hard to make an RPM style robot mode you only need a robot carved on the bottom - for the car limbs (at least). or a simple robot mode like the Crash Combiners have.

-There's two pickup trucks and neither of them are Offroad
-Of the two remaining Stunticons they chose; one of them has his alt-mode which helped him stand out replaced by a rather generic model and the other one is modeled on the dude who was very explicitly killed off in this continuity
He's cool, but there's certainly a couple headscratchers here.

They're not jet vehicons as far as we know - that's what was originally speculated due to the vague shapes we saw; but the full images don't match up, they're different colours, and they have unique faces and identities. So far it doesn't look like they're vehicons.

So...Galvatronus & Menasor are a 5 bot combiner! now it makes me wonder if they ever do a RID Devastator & Piranacon if those'll be 6 bot combiners
I'm telling ye...it's only a matter of time before RID also do Headmasters! as they seem to be shadowing other lines(at least in part...with the combiner gimmick).

If they still sell for about that $35-40 price range that was rumored, it would be awesome. They are simple, they look like lots of fun, and they are really cool!

Helps me save money for the combiners!!! I love the looks. Yeah, they may seem a bit shite, but they are kiddy and they are fun and they are simple, which is kinda the point and is the reason I love them.
Primestrong as a Crash combiner is really neat. The figure is fun and is one of my favorite desk toys, so if these guys can meet that standard, I am all set.

They re really small as Activator Combiners are only deluxe size and full combined they are not more than a timy bit taller than activator combiner bee in package next to them and he's well under 6" tall.
So I'd say the individual limb-bots are going to be not so far away in size from the crash combiners in size and the torsos are going to be scout size (roughly) in their robot modes.

Here are his thoughts on it:
chuckdawg1999 wrote:As someone who collects One-Step changers I know, there's been a lot of Bumblebees, a lot. This version from the Combiner Force subline is different, the Transformation is fun and the robot mode feels solid. If you're looking for a fun desk toy then definitely give Bumblebee a look.
And here are his thoughts on the Optimus One-Step from the Combienr Force subline:
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Surprisingly, Optimus Prime hasn't had that many appearances in the RID One-Step line. This version from the Combiner Force sub-line actually mimics the Warrior Class transformation somewhat, with the cab becoming the arms. Like all One-Step changers, Prime makes for a fun desk toy and is worth a purchase.

Considering the Crash combiners about deluxe size, the 4/5 bot combiners appear to be about voyager height, but very bulky

More like 'deluxe height'. Primestrong is about the height of my other deluxes present

Roughly voyager size. You can see them next to the activators, which are deluxe sized bots:
And man, am I the only one marvelling at this render. That truck mode just looks so stylish!
Posted by Cobotron on February 19th, 2017 @ 1:44pm CST
and no Billy, you aren't the only one.
The trick to these is to keep expectations low, hope for the best, and except them for what they are. Primestrong is neat and fun, but I still think the price point is to high for what you get.
