Talk:Swerve (Universe)
Well packaging and instructions and all for the new Chevy Aero exclusive Swerve have been shown and his is indeed a Universe figure not a Movie one. So. We need to distinguish theses two somehow. He can be Swerve (Aero) I suppose, but then what should this guy be? Thoughts?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.235.142.128 (talk • contribs).
- Seems like this Swerve's most distinguishing feature is that he's got a Mini-Con. Would "Swerve (Powerlinx)" be appropriate? - Jackpot 16:08, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Suppose it all depends on whether the Universe line comes with an accompanying Universe continuity this time around. Classics 2.0 certainly does, but do the others? Does Swerve's bio indicate any particular continuity he's from?--Rosicrucian 16:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Given that all we know about the toy comes from what is likely a stolen test shot and a news report from a web site that isn't exactly the most reliable, I say we wait to figure out what to call him until we have official confirmation. --FortMax 16:47, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, the pictures and details we've seen on the new Swerve aren't likely going to change, really. The Universe logo used is the same one as the previous Universe line. As far as defining the continuity, I would place the new swerve as Universe 2.0 and have done with it. -Vanguard 19:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
We do have proof he's Universe, having seen his instuctions and packaging. It doesn't appear he's gonna get any bio or specs (though they could always show up on Chevy's websight or something I suppose). I'm curious myself whether the new Universe will have fiction connect to it or not. If it doesn't do we consider the new releases part of the old Universe fictional set up or...?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.235.142.128 (talk • contribs).
- It's entirely possible that he's movie continuity in spite of his toyline, much like the Big Lots! rereleases of Energon overstock were Energon continuity. After all, Universe toys can be from any continuity and simply sucked into the Universe conflict. They only get the (Universe) tag in their article title if they don't fit into an existing timeline.--Rosicrucian 19:12, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well, he doesn't have the movie aesthetic. He looks a LOT more at home with the Classics figures, really. I would say that he doesn't resemble the 'Swerve' figure from the CCG, either, but that hardly proves anything anyway. I'm still going with making him the first entry in Universe 2.0, based on what we know - or we all just hold out until more Universe news comes out. -Vanguard 19:47, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Looks like a Chevy Autobot to me, only with parts to actually make it turn into the car it's supposed to be. --M Sipher 21:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- To me he looks like a Classics toy and a movie toy had a baby. The shape of the limbs says G1 boxes, but the detailing and the midsection say movie. Chip 02:45, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
