- Sweeps are Decepticons from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Sweeps are the minions of Scourge created by Unicron. Sweeps are visually indistinguishable from Scourge himself, although Sweeps do not necessarily have identical voices. Although only a few are seen initially during Unicron's threat, there appears to be an inexhaustible supply of them later on. That's actually a good thing, as Galvatron tends to shoot them.
Like, all the time.

Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon
The original Sweeps were created by Unicron from fallen Decepticons, but the seemingly-infinite number suggests that Scourge or the Sweeps may possess self-cloning abilities similar to the Insecticons - altogether realistic, as the three original Insecticons were among the discarded bodies that Unicron used to form Cyclonus, Scourge, and their combined retinue. The Transformers: The Movie
The Sweeps are by far the favorite cannon fodder of Galvatron, being beaten or destroyed in any number of abysmal ways. These ways include being thrown into the great beyond, lava pits, and into the path of an energy-mongering transorganic vampire monster. This may explain their perceived cowardice, as well as their tendancy to grumble and whine.
Toys
- Scourge (1986)
- Japanese ID number: D-71
- Well, while technically not "Sweeps", any additional Scourge toys you may own can easily function as Sweep toys, what with the characters being identical and all.
