Tornado Tonion, known as Tornado Debonion (トルネード・デボニオン Torunēdo Debonion) in Japan, is a Maverick from Mega Man X7. He wreaked havoc in the city's Radio Tower, broadcasting silly, annoying messages across the airwaves. Modeled after an onion, Tonion is one of the few Mavericks that is not based off an animal.
Characteristics[]
Tornado Tonion is a considerably large Reploid with a design loosely based on an onion. He has a green, conical head resembling an onion sprout, and his torso is round and bulbous. The panels on his torso can also be removed to reveal his much more thin and pale interior. His arms are also not connected to his body, instead floating independently near the coils on his shoulders.
Tornado Tonion has an obnoxious and arrogant personality. He enjoyed entertaining others, and was disappointed when Zero found his dance annoying. There seemed to be very little animosity between him and Axl compared to the other members of Red Alert, as they jovially talked about Tonion's silly antics and how Red would probably be annoyed with them. Interestingly, he is one of three members of Red Alert who is fully aware that "the Professor" is manipulating them (the others being Red and Soldier Stonekong) and regretted being used thusly, actually requesting that X kill him in their battle and go on to stop Red Alert. In the English dub of X7, he has a vaguely high pitched German accent and an effeminate voice.
