Tornado Tonion

"Gahahahah! Welcome to my silly, silly stage! Here goes nothing, yah! Bo-woing! Gahahahah!"

- Tornado Tonion

Tornado Tonion, known as Tornado Debonian (トルネード・デボニオン) in Japan, is one of the Mavericks of Mega Man X7. He wreaked havoc in a Radio Tower; broadcasting silly, annoying messages across the airwaves. Modeled after an onion, Tonion is one of the few Mavericks that aren't based off of animals. In the English ports of X7, he has somewhat of a German accent, albeit high pitched.

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 one of only two members who regrets being used and actually request that X kill him (the other being Red).

Strategy
Besides his Volt Tornado, which can cause serious damage if the player is caught in it, he will also sends out parts of his body as an attack. But once much of his body is gone, he will actually take more damage.
