DREADNOK TORCH was remanded to Borstal (a reform school) at age fourteen. He escaped and went to sea in the Merchant Marine, where he learned the use of the cutting torch. This led him to his favorite pastime: taking things apart. He’ll dismember cars, trucks, motorcycles or any other mechanical object with his collection of cutting torches. The subsequent wreckage is, to him, a work of art. This unrepentant thug has a penchant for sudden and unexpected violence, matched only by the utter depth of his stupidity. His specialty and modus operandi: he works with an oxyacetylene torch as a general cutter, mostly on remodeling stolen cars and occasional safecracking. He also scavenges the swamps for fun and profit.
History
Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:
Torch is one of the founders of the Dreadnoks.
Tom Winken was born in Botany Bay, New South Wales, Australia, and was sent to Borstal (reform school) at age fourteen. He escaped and joined the Merchant Marines, where he learned to use an oxy-acetylene cutting torch. "Torch" later joined the Melbourne Maulers motorcycle gang, and eventually made his way into the Dreadnoks. Like most other Dreadnoks he simply loves violence and simply tearing things apart.
Decepticon World
In the Decepticon World universe, the Dreadnoks of Australia, led by Torch and Gnawgahyde, are involved in a resistance effort against the Decepticons. Refusing to submit to Decepticon rule, the Dreadnoks commence small guerilla raids against the Decepticons and then fall back to hideouts in the Outback.
