	Well suited to the task, '''Swindle''' is one of many Decepticons ordered to [[Earth]] by [[Megatron (Movie)\|Megatron]] to cause havoc for the Autobot forces there. Swindle is not a great fighter, and more, he's dumb as a post, but he makes up for it by taking great glee in blowing things (any "things") to pieces! That's worth something, right? Generally, he leaps and hops around the battlefield like a madman, blasting explosives out of his chest cannon like crazy and laughing uncontrollably. Havoc is given when he's around, as battling Swindle is like battling living dynamite! He's also an enthusiastic but unfortunately ineffectual interrogator. But don't get him started on <s>Jolt</s> [[Jolt (Movie)\|Dead End]], he hates him for some reason.
