Swerve (G1)
Swerve is an Autobot from Generation 1
Swerve is a menace to anyone driving nearby. He's easily distracted by just about anything that catches his attention. Despite this, he's quite intelligent and skilled as a metallurgist, analyzing the properties of a meterial with unique sensors in his hands. When he gets caught up in a scientific problem, he becomes almost laser-like in focus and intensity. Unfortunately, this generally leaves him just as distracted from any other tasks at hand, and just as accident prone a driver as ever. Swerve and "traffic accident" just go hand in hand. He's almost always in need of some repairs, major or minor, because of it.

Toys
Generation 1
Swerve is a remold of the Microchange toy originally used for Gears. He is largely red and white, with remolded legs, squarer than Gears', and a remolded head, more elaborate than Gears'.
Universe
A Transformers:Universe toy (a red recolor of Armada Blurr) named Swerve exists, but has no official bio or appearance, so it is unknown if it is in any way related to the G1 character.
Alternators
Swerve was given an Alternator figure as well, a remold of Alt. Track as a red corvette. This figure also lacks a bio or backstory but, given the head remold was done to match him, it is safe to assume it IS intended to be a new version of G1 Swerve.
