'''Swoop''' may be simple mentally, but when it comes to blasting [[Decepticon]]s to tiny bits from the air, his lack of intelligence doesn't seem to hinder him at all. He tends to be the first to strike, scattering Decepticons and keeping them panicked while his partner [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] sneaks up on them. Then Swoop joins in on the ground, tearing into their opponents with claws and teeth, either separately, or combined into the brutal [[Mega-Dinobot]].

==Fiction==
===''Timelines''===
During the [[Unicron Singularity]] crisis, Swoop served aboard the Autobot flagship ''[[Iron Hope]]''. He was called into action during a Decepticon attack on the ship, and battled [[Predacon (Armada)|Predacon]] alongside [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}

*'''Grimlock & Swoop''' (Mega, 2005)

: Swoop transforms from the usual pterosaur (this time equipped with a pair of giant [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]-style scramjets formed by the robot-mode legs) into a robot. He can also form the lower body of the combined robot Mega-Dinobot. He was available only in a Mega-class multi-pack with Grimlock.

==Notes==
* The Grimlock/Swoop set was originally intended to be relased in the ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, as their [[Swoop (G1)|original Generation 1 incarnations]]. However, a variety of factors shuffled the set into ''Energon'' and new-character-dom.

* This set was not "mech-designed" or engineered by [[Takara]] employees, a rarity for normal-series ''Transformers'' toys.

* This is the closest most collectors can get to a blue Swoop without spending a car payment. Or two.

'''Grimlock''' isn't much for subtlety. Well, he does like to sneak up on the panicked [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] that are desperately fleeing the attacks of his aerial partner [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]], but soon as they get in range of tooth and claw, he becomes a storm of violence, ripping into them mercilessly. Even though he is equipped with some heavy built-in firepower, he'd much rather take the up-close and personal approach to battle, especially bringing out the "big guns" by combining with Swoop to form the monstrous [[Mega-Dinobot]].
