Not only that, but Swindle screams, "Buy ME!" to 8 year old kids. The large eyes and pleasing face, the gigantic cannon, and the $10 price is a better bet for Hasbro than a $60 super robot.

I still think Omega would make an awesome action playset/robot for the Activators line if they make him a Supreme Activator.

 

Swindle looked better to me in hazy pics from the convention and back of package cross-sells. Personally I don't really dig the claw hands and the head whatsoever. It was on my must buy list, now I'm not so sure.

 

they're kidding, like Swindle is getting at the toy and, well, doing what Swindle would do

 

also, i think people are more frustrated about Supreme not getting a toy and Swindle getting one over the fact that one is more memorable. i personally would forget about Swindle if it wasnt for the fact that i got a kick out of Fred Willard (voice cameos FTW! esp Weird-Gar!) but remember Supreme cause he was awesome and kicked tailpipe on so many levels. plus he was their ship, which was in TONS of episodes, so he technically had ALOT more screen time.

 

Still doesn't change the fact if we go by price and screen-time standards, Swindle is alot more deserving of a toy.

Also, we still need Mixmaster and Scrapper, they're awesome and totally toy material.
