Series/number: 01/#005
PART 4 OF 5!
Japanese release date: 2013-01-26
Japanese ID number: TG06
Accessories: Blaster
The Aligned Swindle toy was repurposed as Generation 1 Swindle.
A redeco of Swindle from the Decepticon Bruticus gift set was available individually alongside his fellow Combaticons as part of the second wave of the Fall of Cybertron-themed 2012-onwards Deluxe Class Generations assortment. These versions of the Combaticons replace the game-accurate, Generation 1-inspired decos with more ”flashy” colors apparently homaging the color scheme of Bruticus Maximus. Swindle replaces the ocher from his gift set release with a bright shade of yellow.Aside from the colors, mass retail Swindle is identical to the version from the Decepticon Bruticus gift set.The Takara release of Swindle has the yellow plastic from Hasbro’s release covered in a gold paint. He features more game-accurate colors, including a painted purple visor, more detailed shoulderpads, and silver feet.Unsurprisingly for an Aligned toy inspired by Generation 1, Fall of Cybertron Swindle was used in multiple Generation 1-based stories, with the Hasbro deco appearing in the short comic ”Starscream’s New Power” and the TakaraTomy deco appearing in the Transformers: All Spark manga series and the Transformers Cloud stories.
