Title:
G1 Swerve Ko
Description:
• GEN163
• Swerve (Mini-Vehicle, 1986)
• Takara name: Werve
• Takara ID number: C-58
• Known designers: Hideaki Yoke (TakaraTomy)
Part of the third year of Hasbro’s The Transformers Mini Vehicle assortment, Swerve is a retool of the Microchange toy originally used to make Gears, transforming into a pickup truck of indeterminable model with robot kludge in the cargo bed. He is largely maroon and white, with squarer legs and a more elaborate face than Gears.
The initial releases of all Mini Vehicles and Special Teams in 1986 were part of a promotional campaign that featured reflective iron-on patches as part of a contest. Later in the year, packages without bonus patches were released.
In Japan, ”Werve” was sold in the second year of Takara’s Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers line, packaged in a small box with a collector’s card rather than the Hasbro version’s bubble-card.
