He prefers to call himself Optimus Prime.

The official name of this plant is Tornacorn. However, a literal translation can be found in its infobox. The official name is to be used on all pages that refer to this plant.

Not to be confused with the Hazelnut in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars.

Tornacorn (旋风橡果; pinyin: xuànfēng xiàng guǒ) is a plant obtained in Frostbite Caves in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He launches its cap to attack up to three zombies in front of him twice in a similar manner to Bloomerang. When the cap hits certain objects, like a tombstone or a Walrus Zombie, it explodes and destroys that obstacle immediately. 

Origins

Tornacorn is based off an acorn, a nut and a seed of an oak.

Its name is a portmanteau of "tornado", referring to its Plant Food effect and "acorn", the real-life plant it is based on.

His Almanac entry references Bloomerang as Tornacorn attacks the same way as he. It also references Bloomerang's costume Plant Food effect where it shoots its boomerangs in a cross-shape

Strategies

Although it takes a while to recharge, it deals heavy damage. It should be assisted with Winter Melons or Sap-flings to make up for that recharge. Leave a Chard Guard, Tall-nut, or Infi-nut in front of it. It is a good idea to couple this with strong and fast attacking plants just in case the player's defensive plants die.
