Title:
Swindle
Description:
Swindle (Deluxe Class, 2016)
Accessories: Gun, double-barreled gun/fist/foot
Released as part of wave 5 of the Combiner Wars Deluxe Class figures, Swindle is a heavy retool of Combiner Wars Rook, featuring a significant alternate mode alteration to look like a teched-out military SUV. He comes with a three-barreled minigun-rifle and a hand/foot/gun for limb mode. Later versions of Swindle featured a running change in the form of a slight retool to his smaller weapon, adding nubs to its end allowing it to attach over his shoulder (for Hound, his later retool). If the seat and steering wheel visible in his alt-mode are intended for humans, his jeep is supposed to be the same size as Brawl’s tank.
Being a Combiner Wars figure, Swindle can combine with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus as either an arm or a leg. He can also combine with any Combiner Wars-style Voyager Class figure or even form one of Legends Godbomber’s legs.
Unfortunately, due to the internal molding of his shins, repeatedly transforming Swindle will eventually create horizontal scratch marks across the hip parts of his thighs. Unlike the original use of the mold, Swindle’s hips are painted, causing the scratching to be far more visible than Rook’s.
In the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, Swindle came in English-only packaging including a copy of "Combiner Wars #4” (actually Robots in Disguise #12). In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of multilingual packaging including a character card featuring his comic book cover/package art instead. He and the last three waves of Combiner Wars Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up at TJ Maxx at reduced prices with the collector card.
