Fiction

Animated cartoon

Voice actor: Fred Willard (English)

Swindle organized the S.U.V (Society of Ultimate Villainy) to do his dirty work; that is, stealing components from preexisting machinery to create an "electromechanical disruptor", which he hoped to use to destroy the Autobots. When Bumblebee and his former team turned on him, he was seemingly destroyed by the disruptor and towed away by Captain Fanzone. S.U.V.: Society of Ultimate Villainy

Animated

• Swindle (Deluxe, 2008)

Swindle transforms into an armored Humvee-styled vehicle with roof-mounted cannon. This cannon mounts on his right arm in robot mode.

Trivia

• Swindle's design is quite heavily influenced by his Generation 1 namesake's animation character model, from the "squarehead" with large purple optics to the windshield-chest with grill-stomach to the right-arm-mounted cannon. As a result, Swindle is the first and currently only Decepticon to not have red eyes.

• He has a bolo tie. That's awesome.

• Derrick J. Wyatt has noted that Swindle's mannerisms are based on Ron Popeil. (Coincidentally enough, "Weird Al" Yankovic has done a song about Popeil...)
