I can understand Swindle being short. In the show he is really puny when compared to Blitzwing and the other Decepticon. Remember the episode where Optimus runs over him? That's the one I'm talking about.
Hes a great figure,but he looks like megatron and optimus got blown to bits,somebody pieced them back together the wrong way then colored him brown/greenish.lol
I still think it's too bad that we never got the other Combaticons, or an Animated Bruticus. But Swindle was a great character in Animated. Even without his G1 teammates, he stood out on his own. ^_^
I really like this figure. I managed to get my hands on him a couple of days ago, absolutely love it. Also got Blurr, and Swindle really does look like a midget compared to him, dispite being about the same size in vehicle mode.
Watching this video, I couldn't help but notice that the torso on mine stays in place alot better than on your figure.
can optimus fit inside his chest panel, like in the show?ps, peaugh, please, or anybody, make a vid of the smallest deluxe(soundwave)next to the biggest deluxe(lockdown)
just got my swindle and the paint is rubbish and has a big paint blob on the rear plus the chest peice doesnt fit properly in robot mode very disapointed
LOVE this figure, nice little slightly complex satisfying transformation, great colours and tribute to G1, displaying him with Ultra Onslaught looks good! Now I just need the other 3 made so I can Blu Tac together a Bruticus!!!
to theANIMATOR1000 the toy line is called "animated" after the tv show dumbass, so get your gimptard attitude out of the comments, jeez there are some epically slow people out there...
swindle's such a crappy toy in terms of alt mode, articulation, and loose parts (that flappy "dimensional storage" panel). Plus sometimes he can barely stand on those wheel heels of his.
Then you hold him up to the light, and...he's so purple!
So Swindle continues to share a spotlight on my desk, the only brick lovingly displayed among the action pose bots.
hey man great review was wonder what issue in quality you have with your figure , i have swindle to but the arms are loose and so is the cheast piece, wonder if you know any way of fixing pin joints
I really like this guy too (I recognized the character without previously knowing the plot or figure), what I'd REAAALY like to see is so they'd make all the combatticons. Just imagine, 4 Deluxes and a Voyager (Onslaught) gestalt!
Also he's got one of the better faces, cause 1 thing that is my personal lil eye-sore on animated figures are some of the faces, can't help it cause the figures are great.
Just got him today, and although not bad, It's not my favorite. His robot mode just suffers a little from the back and hands in my opinion, alt mode is nice though.
Swindle was arguably the most used Combaticon in the G1 series ( but not used often enough). It was great when he tried to barter with Galvatron. Swindle is one of my favorites and yes, I have this figure.
can u please give me an top 5 of the animated series... only deluxe and voyagers...( plz but dont put in lockdown^^ i have that one) an top 10 of the animated series of figures^^
If you look closely, it doesn't "Turn yellow" The whole strip is a purple pipe with yellow stripes and when the bullet hit's the spring it also pushes back the pipe to therefore exposing the yellow stripes on the pipe throughout the slits.
I got this guy, blurr, and blazing lockdown! and so far this one is my fave! blurr came in close but his joints are loose as hell! and blazing lockdown is better than the original!
uh hu.good-bye. megatron called he wants his canon back. p.s. i read somewhere that he is the only tf animated decepticon with purple eyes all the rest have red eyes
Looks like he has Optimus' chest with Megatron's cannon. Someone should customize him as the monster named Guiltaur. Guiltaur is something that looks like Optimus combined with Megatron attached with lots of weapons. It was in a japanese TF manga. I think.
In the episode, he looks more like a Hummer than anything else. For those who don't know, S.U.V in the title stands for the Society of Ultimate Villany.
ive just learned that target is having exclusive animated repaints of starscream (to sunstorm with activators ratchet) and shockwave (to g1 colors with activators bumblebee)
He does look like he's got Optimus Prime's chest and a Megatron-esque gun. Reminds me of Guiltaur. hes a monster made in the image of Optimus and Megatron, I think Guiltaur only appeared in the japanese comic books.
One of the coolest Decepticons ever(even without his fellow G1 Combaticons)! Too bad he just got his butt kicked in the episode "SUV: Society of Ultimate Villainy."
kina looks like a mix of megatrons gun with optimuses torso. any way he look really cool oh and the left arm kept on snaping back inside the arm area and wouldn't stay out. theres my nit pick for him.
y do people like swindle??? his robot mode appeared for no longer than 5 minutes in the one episode, and he was voiced by a guy who normaly plays a wacko old guy. and his character in the show was pretty weak in terms of personality.
