Who's got two thumbs and loads of personality in his box art?

Unlike his fellow Decepticons, Swindle doesn't really care about the fate of the universe. No, the war for Cybertron is actually a pretty swag business opportunity! While he's acting as the leg of Bruticus, Swindle thinks only of what he'll get in trade for Autobot bodies he's stomping once the current battle ends. Greed is built into Swindle's personality core.

• Decepticon Bruticus (multi-pack, 2012)
  • Accessories: Blaster

The first version of Swindle released was part of a San Diego Comic-Con 2012 exclusive pack containing all five Combaticons in game-accurate colors. Swindle transforms into a Cybertronic jeep-like vehicle. His blaster can be mounted on the vehicle top. He can form any limb to Bruticus, though his nominal placement is as the right leg.

This mold was used for a Generation 2-styled Swindle, and later retooled into Roadbuster.

• Swindle (Deluxe, 2012)
  • Accessories: Blaster

Part of the second wave of the 2012 Generations line, this version of Swindle is cast in much brighter colors to "pop" more on shelves. He retains all of the functionality of the "game-accurate" version.
