| | | Description: | | Swindle refers to a unit type used to populate both the Autobot and Decepticon ranks; this model, the Swindle version with the camera lens-type head, indicates a Decepticon unit, such as the one that interrogated Bumblebee. He looks cool in a scavenging, impromptu way, and appears to be as well articulated as his fellow Deluxe scale Decepticons. Swindle is equipped with a large torso-mounted cannon. Swindle is cited as being the intellectual equivalent of a Sharticon??s tail, but he compensates for the deficit with crazed enthusiasm, bizarre antics, and a zigzagging battle style. Swindle takes pleasure in the random detonation of all things within his immediate sphere. A horde of Swindle units would seem to indicate a minor cataclysm resulting in hackneyed explosions and casualties on either side. | | | Features: | |
• Change this advanced-conversion, DECEPTICON figure from robot mode to vehicle mode – and back again!
• Robot mode features an awesome, extending torso cannon!
• His extending torso cannon fires explosive rounds, and he leaps around like a madman, firing randomly in a fight
• Ages 5 and up

From the Movie? I think not.Jun 13, 2007
By Kevin E. Phillips
While Swindle is a cool toy, he's not actually from the movie. He comes from the Transformers the movie video game. He has a fair amount of detail and fits right in with the movie toy line.

 Easy Beginners ToyDec 24, 2007
Swindle is the easiest Transformer that I have. It is probably best for people who have not had the experience with these toys yet. Swindle may sometimes be red and sometimes orange, depending on when and where you buy it. There have been many cases of this red Transformer being orange, possibly from mis-coloring.

Who cares about the name?Aug 27, 2007
By John B. Connor
"dragonsandsuch"
First off, if you are going to get hung up on names compared to looks, then Ironhide should have been Trailblazer, Bumblebee should have been Sunstreaker, and Jazz resembles Bluestreaker more than G1 Jazz. But who cares? They look great, and so does this one (for the most part).
I will admit Swindle (yes, I will call him Swindle) is not quite as well made as the other movie Transformers I've gotten. His car mode does not fit together as seemlessly as my others (those mentioned above). However, he transforms much more easily than the others and feels like he'll stand up to play more readily, if you are looking for ones for the kids.
My only complaint is when he arrived, he did not look exactly like he's pictured here (or even on the box for that matter). His head is slightly different and has more of an orange tint to him than I expected. Other than that, and the fact that I think this deluxe "movie" Transformer would have made a great addition to the movie, I think he's great.

A great Transformer for young collectors!Apr 27, 2008
By A. Iverson
"Isaac, Amy's son"
This has to be one of my all time favorite deluxe classes. It's just so simple to Transform, yet it is detailed, flexible, posable, and has a sweet paint job! It's vehicle mode is very smooth and sleek, and it is probably the most durable Transformer I have ever owned. It has an awesome chest cannon, and that eye for a head is so dang cool!
This is a great Transformer for young and old fans of the toy line alike.

By Behold the Turtle
OK so the common complaints on these toys are that Transformers are sometimes a little difficult to manipulate, they are not exactly like the cartoon and yeah occasionally a piece pops off that only dad can manage to get back on. BUT, when I compare that to the countless hours my son spends playing with them indoors and out, setting up battles, joining them in with his Hot Wheels,Lego Blocks and Lional Trains, providing dialogue as he directs the action, THEY OFFER tremendous play value. Since he got them at Christmas, his video game consoles (including his Wii), have taken a BIG back seat to the kind of play I think is far more valuable. As for the exact likeness, my kid loves the cartoon and has no problem with the toys not being EXACTLY like those on the show.
