===Marvel Generation 1 Comics===
The Combaticons first U.S. appearance was unexplained in the American comic, however it may be assumed that they were created in the same way as the [[Stunticons]] were (it is possible that they were recruited from Cybertron.  See the article on the comic issue [[Afterdeath]] for more).  The Combaticons joined Megatron on a mission to invade the company 'Energy Futures Industries' in order to steal a hydrothermocline, which the Decepticons wanted to steal for their own energy resources.  This mission resulted not only in success for the Decepticons, but also in the death of Autobot leader Optimus Prime, despite Swindle's individual failure in his part of the mission.

Swindle soon accompanied his fellow Decepticons to a new base in Carribean, at which time Megatron disappeared and Shockwave assumed command of the Earth-bound Decepticon.


Swindle (and the other Combaticons) battled Defensor on further occasions, though without great success.  He had better success during the Decepticon ambush of the Autobots on the Moon, where the Autobots had gathered to resolve a leadership dispute.  Swindle specifically attacked Brawn with his Scatter Blaster, and commented that Brawn was not a great Autobot warrior but he would have a bright future as spare parts.  When the combined forces of Blaster and [[Grimlock]] managed to pierce the ship's protective force field, [[Ratbat]] commanded all Decepticons on the surface of the Moon to return to the ship and retreat.


Swindle also served as part of the 'friendly' staff on the beach of the Decepticons Carribean island, when the Decepticons used the base as a human vacation resort.  Swindle was there to serve every need that the humans might require.


Swindle is not seen again until the Generation 2 comic, where, despite attacks upon some of his teammates, he isn't shown to be damaged or deactivated.  It is possible that he managed to escape complete harm during those events or that his death and rebirth was not shown.
