Swindle (Cybertron)
From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Swindle" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Swindle (disambiguation). |
- Swindle is a Decepticon in the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Swindle is the scuffed, cracked, and filth-encrusted mirror image of his brother Hardtop. Where Hardtop is a highly-skilled sniper, Swindle would sooner beat your face in with his rifle than shoot you with it; in contrast to Hardtop's unswavering loyalty to Megatron, Swindle would gladly fight for someone else if they paid him enough.
Swindle thinks his brother is a coward for hiding behind his long-range scope, unwilling or unable to face the enemy face-to-face. He's not the smartest bot out there, but he's a genius when it comes to camouflage, trapping, and good old-fashioned head-smashing. He'll hide out in the wild for weeks, living like the animal he truly is.
