Swashplate

Swashplate is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family (via the 2010 Transformers toyline).

If he were a bear, Yogi would be smarter than him.

Swashplate is a well-rounded member of Mini-Con rank-and-file. Very well rounded.

• Swashplate (Mini-Con, 2010)

Swashplate is a redeco of the Recon Mini-Con Team member Jolt, transforming into a bubble-domed helicopter of indeterminable model. He was only available at discount stores like Family Dollar.

This mold was also used to make Bit, Platinum Factor, and Guardian Sky.

Notes

• There was no indication what universe Swashplate was from on his packaging. The Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime would later declare him to be a Unicron Trilogy character.
• All four of the Mini-Cons in this assortment come on red cards like the Generations toys, but lack the "Generations" on the logo, thus this wiki classifies them as "2010" product.
• Swashplate's helicopter mode is hilariously mistransformed on the back of his card. His cockpit is upside-down while his legs, meant to be put on his roof, are left dragging behind him.
• Swashplate's two fellow gang-molded Mini-Cons were released in the 2010 Transformers toyline as Brake-Neck and Drivetrain, though it would be odd to form a team of three as Drivetrain is a Decepticon.
