- 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 wreaks havoc in the Radio Tower; broadcasting silly, annoying messages across the airwaves. Besides his Volt Tornado, which can really damage you if you get caught in it, he also sends parts of his body out as his attack. But once much of his body is gone, he actually takes more damage. He is one of the few Mavericks that aren't based off of animals; he is ostensibly supposed to resemble and onion, but his orange coloring has led many to mistake him for a pumpkin. Interestingly, he is one of three members of Red Alert who is aware that the Professor is manipulating them (the others being Red and Soldier Stonekong), and one of only two members who regret being used and actually request that X kill him (the other being Red).

He has somewhat of a German accent (not in the original Japanese language, though), albeit high pitched.
