| | |
| : ''Cloud'' Swindle was repurposed from the [[TakaraTomy]] release of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Swindle. Swindle's [[alternate mode]] is an SUV-like [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] Assault Transport vehicle with large wheels. His "auto-neutron turret" weapon accessory can be attached to the roof using the same [[5mm post]] post also used as a handle for holding the weapon in [[robot mode]].
| |
| | |
| : In addition to his robot and vehicle modes, Swindle can also combine with his fellow Combaticons into Bruticus and serve as any of the gestalt robot's four limbs, though his official configuration shown in the [[instructions]] is the right leg. (He features hands attached to his legs via hinges which are not addressed by the instructions, but ''are'' required for his [[retool]] [[Roadbuster (Prime)#Toys|Roadbuster]], who serves as [[Ruination (FOC)|Ruination]]'s right arm.) His "auto-neutron turret" weapon can be combined with the other Combaticons' weapons to form Bruticus's Sonic Cannon.
| |
| | |
| : Swindle suffers from a [[design flaw]]: The small tabs used to attach the [[robot mode]]'s chest section to the legs in vehicle or gestalt limb mode (using different slots for the tabs) are prone to showing stress marks, and eventually breaking.<ref name="tabs">[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=88154 "Bruticus, PSA: Be the F Careful"] thread at The Allspark.</ref>

| | |
| : A [[redeco]] of Swindle in more "flashy" colors was available as an individually-released mass retail toy (see below), whereas a redeco in ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' colors (as the ''[[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]]'' [[Swindle (G1)#Amazon|Swindle]] character) was released as part of a shared Amazon.com/[[BigBadToyStore]] exclusive [[Bruticus (G1)#WFC|Decepticon Bruticus]] gift set. The sculpt was also retooled into Roadbuster, as mentioned above.
