| The name or term "Swerve" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Swerve (disambiguation). |
- Swerve is an Autobot in the Universe continuity family
"A mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma, blindfolded" would be a charitable way to describe Swerve. He transforms into a Chevrolet Aveo. Since he is not part of the live-action movie toyline, any relationship he may have to Aveo and Sphinx should be totally coincidental.
Toys
Universe
- Swerve (Deluxe, 2007)
- The Swerve toy surfaced on Asian auction websites in August 2007. Samples were packaged in polybags that had English text printed on them, and came with English instruction manuals. All "final" samples were the same red color; one specimen appeared to be yellow, but in fact had been handpainted.
- Early reports throughout the fandom, tepidly verified by Hasbro sources, was that the mold's creation had been commissioned by Chevrolet for that company's exclusive use. Some claimed the figure would only be made available upon test-driving a Chevy Aveo, some claimed the figure would only be made available upon test-driving a Chevy Aveo at dealerships in China only, but such rumors were never verified.
- On March 25th 2008, the Chevrolet online store began to offer Swerve as a "special featured item".... but only from its branches in Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates. Whether Swerve will be made available in other venues is currently unknown.
Miscellaneous trivia
- We knew Chevy had gotten close with Hasbro, but, damn.
