'''Swerve''' is a metallurgist and fabricator who goes swerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrve! But to his defense, he's actually remarkably intelligent. And when you've handled as many toxic chemicals as he has over the years, your circuits would be pretty frazzled too.  Even though he's apparently not a good shot, he can still deliver a good old-fashioned haymaker.

He may or may not have a rocket launcher. 

==Games==
===3D Battle-Card Game===
Under [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s command, Swerve fought against the Decepticons using his fists, sharpshooting skills(?) and "rocketfire". He may also have participated in the seemingly inter-dimensional "Energon Wars" conflict, where the Autobots were led by [[Optimus Primal]] against [[Megatron (BW)|Predacon Megatron]]'s Decepticons. {{storylink|3D Battle-Card Game}}

*'''Swerve''' (Deluxe, 2009)

: Swerve is a red [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe-class [[Sideswipe (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Sideswipe]], [[retool]]ed with a new head. Swerve transforms into a Corvette Stingray concept car, though in this mode, he sits so low that it's difficult to roll him without scraping his undercarriage, unless you perform some careful shaping after transforming him. His [[Mech Alive]] [[gimmick]] is in his knees—bending his legs causes the armor plates on his knees to extend. 

:The torso connection problem that plagued Sideswipe has now been fixed. The mold later was redecoed into ''Platinum Edition'' [[Sideswipe_(Movie)#Age_of_Extinction|Sideswipe]]. The figure also saw release as an Amazon Japan exclusive.

*'''Swerve''' (2007)
**''Card number'': '''13'''

: Swerve is a 23-point "Common" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from randomly-packed plastic cards (two full robots per pack), he can be assembled into his [[Alternate mode|car mode]] (model undetermined), or into a rather stumpy [[robot mode]]. His twin blaster-weapons can be mounted on his arms (their nominal placement) or on his shoulders.

: He uses the same construction as the [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], [[Earth]] mode [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] cards. This style is similar to the one used by [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]], [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], and [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]].

==Notes==
* Amusingly enough, the Battle-Card dubbed "Cliffjumper" is designed after ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]].  It's ''exceedingly'' likely the names for the Swerve and Cliffjumper cards got mixed up, as this Swerve bears more than a passing resemblance to Bumblebee, and ''every other iteration'' of movieverse Cliffjumper is a red Bumblebee.
* Swerve's role as a metallurgist and his spotty driving are an [[homage]] to [[Swerve (G1)|Generation 1 Swerve]].  However, whereas Generation 1 Swerve is a lousy driver simply because he doesn't pay attention where he's going, movie Swerve is a lousy driver because he had to huff paint fumes one too many times.
* Despite having his brain cooked by poisonous chemicals, and his bio flat-out saying his aim is terrible, Swerve somehow has a Skill of 9 according to his tech specs...Yeah...
