Fiction
TransTech
Bug Bite bought a new C1186-P0019 body in the shop. Bad Boy and Treds later dropped by while searching for their missing friend, and managed to twist the arm of one of the Swindles enough that he revealed what Bug Bite had been sold. Swindle was able to use the information they'd found as leverage to persuade them to settle Bug Bite's account before they left. Withered Hope
After finding himself in a lowtech body, Bulletbike entered the store, requesting the three Swindles to run a fruitless scan for detecting traces of a possible spark exchange. Though they didn't believe his story, they humored him, and after the scan turned up negative, sold him some repairs. I, Lowtech
Notes
All three Swindles are based on versions of his G1 toy, rather than his character model:
- "Swindle the First" is based on the red G2 redeco
- "Swindle the Second" is based on the partial-die-cast version of the G1 release, with a tan body and purple chest.
- "Swindle the third" is based on the all-plastic version of the G1 toy, with a grey-black chest.
Some of the items seen in the shop include Matrices (possibly knockoffs to judge by their coloration), something like insignia stickers, a crown reminiscent of Starscream's, Scrounge's special arm, Bludgeon's helmet, Bumblebee's car air freshener, Hi-Q or Ginrai (or at least an exosuit resembling one of theirs in engine mode), some sort of golden disc, and possibly the tracks of a Guardian robot.
