Swindle (Movie)

The name or term "Swindle" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Swindle (disambiguation).

Swindles are Autobot/Decepticon drone units from the live action Transformers film continuity family.

Swindle is one of many Decepticons ordered to Earth by Megatron to cause havoc for the Autobot forces there. He's well suited to the task. Swindle is not a great fighter and, more, he's dumb as a post, but he takes great glee in blowing things (any "things") to pieces and that's worth something right? Generally he leaps and hops around the battlefield like a madman, blasting explosives out of his chest cannon and laughing uncontrollably. Havoc is a given when he's around. He's also an enthusiastic but unfortunately ineffectual interrogator.

Sometimes there are lots of him.

On both sides.

Given his intelligence stat I'm impressed he managed that coherent a sentence.

Swindle (or a Swindle) is in charge of torturing the location of the Allspark out of Bumblebee's team after their capture at Tyger Pax. He fails at that but succeeds at pissing off Megatron. Lucky for Swindle, Megs takes off into space and is lost before he's able to follow through on his threats.
