Talk:Swerve (G1)
That's weird. What dialogue does Swerve have in the Japanese cartoon that he doesn't have in the American version? -LV 13:42, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

Why isn't his appearance in 'Forever is a long time coming' not mentioned? I feel it is necessary to have it included for the security of Earth. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 122.109.106.118 (talk • contribs).
Revamp?
Am I alone in thinking his bio needs an overhaul now that he has an actual personality and character beyond his Techspecs bio? I would think his awesome MtMtE portrayle should be at the very least added to the opening bio. yes? --76.28.76.206 11:41, 16 February 2012 (EST)
Sky High?
Why is Swerve's partner Flanker linked to Micromaster Sky High instead of the Micromaster Flanker? Bass X0 05:22, 8 November 2013 (EST)
- For the same reason we don't keep Universe Tankor on BM Tankor's page. --ItsWalky 05:27, 8 November 2013 (EST)
- Universe Tankor IS on BM Tankor's page. And that situation doesn't seem analogous to this one. --KilMichaelMcC 11:08, 8 November 2013 (EST)
- Oh wait, maybe you meant the Micromaster train Tankor. But that still doesn't seem analogous. The question is whether the plane who comes with Swerve's original intent of being Micromaster Sky High trumps his name change to that of another Micromaster jet. --KilMichaelMcC 11:10, 8 November 2013 (EST)
- NO WAIT AGAIN. You meant Octane. Sorry. I own that toy but I literally never think of it with that name. --KilMichaelMcC 11:13, 8 November 2013 (EST)
- I think he's asking what makes people think Flanker is an alternate name for the pre-existing character Sky High in the first place, and I second that question. --Xaaron (talk) 17:30, 9 November 2013 (EST)
- Look at them next to each other. --ItsWalky (talk) 18:52, 9 November 2013 (EST)
- Weren't Flanker and Payload identified as Blast Master and Sky High during BotCon 2013, too? --Detour (talk) 19:09, 9 November 2013 (EST)
- The file names of the stock photos released during BotCon '13 named "Flanker" as Blast Master and "Payload" as Sky High, but looking at the sculpts it's pretty clear those names got switched up accidentally. Flanker's mould is based on Sky High and Payload's mould is based on Blast Master. Jalaguy (talk) 19:14, 9 November 2013 (EST)
- ...And? Even if they were the exact same mold and not just a similar mold, a new name and a new paint job has been enough to create a distinct character since the 1984 Decepticons. The "file names of stock photos" sounds like it falls into the realm of non-canon, like Cybertron Overhaul originally intended to be named Trailbreaker. --Xaaron (talk) 19:36, 9 November 2013 (EST)
- They don't have new paint jobs. They have the same paint jobs. Because they are obviously new versions of preexisting characters. Like, say, Skrapnel and Trailcutter and Motorbreath. -LV (talk) 20:43, 9 November 2013 (EST)
- Nonsense! Sky High is white. Flanker is blue. Sky High is patterned after an SST with one tailfin. Flanker is some other kind of plane with two tailfins. And your examples of re-naming all involve some remnant of the original name being preserved (Shrapnel, Trailbreaker, Motormaster), which Flanker does not. --Xaaron (talk) 21:51, 9 November 2013 (EST)
- Tankor. Darkmount. There's a Bot Shots Wildrider stand-in named "Brake-Neck". "Flanker" has Sky High's colors, albeit reversed, and is clearly designed to have the same head as the Micromaster, and Hasbro referred to him as Sky High internally. There is no virtue in the wiki being willfully ignorant in this case. -LV (talk) 23:08, 9 November 2013 (EST)
