Swerve (G1)

The name or term "Swerve" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Swerve (disambiguation).

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

Japanese ID number: C-58

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'.

Alternators

• Swerve

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.
