Transformers: Generations: Combiner Wars Deluxe Combaticon Swindle

Vehicle Mode: Swindle looks more like a Dune Buggy than a Jeep.  We know he is being repainted as Hound, who should also have been a jeep, but I suspect we will get another wave of Autobots and he will be Beachcomber, so that is probably why they designed him like this.  He doesn’t look bad, just not the classic jeep look I would have preferred for him.  Could have used a few more paint apps.  He’s very plain looking.

Robot Mode: Swindle looks pretty great in robot mode.  I love the head sculpt.  He’s got nice paint apps.  He’s got a bit of a muscle bound look, which doesn’t really fit the character, but it’s not a huge thing.

Overall: This is a pretty great mold, the lack of looking like a jeep aside.

About lmb3

I’m 36 years old, and I work in network tech support for a public school system. I am a huge fan of Star Trek, Transformers, Harry Potter, and Marvel Comics as well as numerous other fandoms. I’m a big sports fan, especially the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. I collect toys (mostly Transformers but other stuff too), comic books, and Red Sox baseball cards. I watch an obscene amount of television and love going to the movies. I am hopelessly addicted to Wizard Rock and I write Harry Potter Fanfiction, though these days I am working on a couple of different original YA novels.
