speaking of which, would like to see Blast-Off (wouldn't mind a slight name change, maybe Blast?)in animated, especially since we prob. won't see Astrotrain.

I hope not. I hate Powell. I hope Swindle either trades him to aliens (non-TF aliens) or doublecrosses him and gets Porter taken out of the picture. (he doesn't have to die, just go away forever)

uh, why won't we see Astrotrain? What basis do you have for that claim?

I LOVE Powell! He's awesome. Easily my second favorite human villain (after Meltdown). What is there to hate about him?

He's a smug bastard. He hates kids. He hates robot. He has idiots for employees. He has a bastard smirk. I could go on, but basicaslly all the stuff that makes his character great, but I still hate him. (though that's kind of a complement, since you're supposed to hate him)

Swindle's a pretty good character, no where near my favorite though. I'm planning on getting his toy for mainly two reasons. 1. I like his alt-mode, and 2. my Decepticons need more members. Hopefully it won't be too long till we get to see some more pictures, or at least better versions of the one's we have, of him and Longarm/Shockwave.

1.) I don't think we've seen the last of him -because that would suck
2.) Everything about him is win...except for the voice... did it strike you is old sounding?
3.) Maybe some deals with Lockdown later on... That would make since.
4.) Yet another unafiliated Decepticon. S, BA, SS, SW, LD, OS
5.) Love to over homage, the eyes, head, large gun.
6.) He's got combat boots!

What do you guys think about him?
*Sputter!!!*

That's his best feature! It's Fred Willard! No impugning Fred Willard.... no sir, not on my watch!

Clip from "A Mighty Wind"

He was Chris Matthews before Chris Matthews was Chris Matthews.

Correction: He hates AUTOBOTS. The guy makes his money off robots, so I doubt he hates them all.

And have we ever even seen his employees? Aside from the guy who made the nanomachines? And technically, aren't his employees the same guys who were Sumdac's employees before the transfer of ownership? Unless we're counting Masterson...

yeah really, Fred rocked Swindle. And he was much more subtle. G1's Swindle might as well have ended all of his lines with "Yeah, that's the ticket"...
My Feedback!

Ive already recanted the voice thing, I had to rematch the episode he probably has the best voice overall.
