Great photos, dude! I have to ask, though....is his head supposed to look similar to G1? Because I don't see it. Or is it supposed to reflect the look on some of his previous incarnations as a car?

FWIW: In person the head does have a bit of a 'catch all' look to it.

I think this is one of those heads that Hasbro designed because they liked the design rather than having any particular use in mind, then decided that Swerve was an alright fit for it than any intention of making it as Swerve from the outset.

Myself, I keep seeing a fire fighter's helmet or something in there. The red definitely looks like a person wearing a helmet for whatever reason.

This size of pick up is the perfect size to take small items with good articulation like Perfect effect stuff or selected Legions/Legends figures too or even some Mini-cons.

I quite like him too - but those panels on his arms can be a pain his knee kibble does not fit as well inside the legs as my Kups do and his Hasbro head is no where near as good as the replacement Kup head is and it does tend to look down a bit to much - which Ku didn't even with the original head.

But all that aside he is a good toy and I find curiously his design is such that it seems to fit in where ever you put it even in with Prime or Movie toys.

Oh and The Truck mode is the coolest part - he's one of the best vehicle modes ever I'd say loads of detail lots of style a function flatbed and well hidden panel lines too.

But as is often the case he's even better with a tiny bit more paint.

Would have much rather seen them do G2 Electro with this mold.

Altmode aside it just doesn't look enough like Swerve for me.

Doesn't really feel like Swerve, but I still like it.

With all the different molds Swerve has had, it's nice to see him as a truck again. Interested in Swerve and Wheelie of the same series of releases.


The road to success is always under construction.

The box says "Swerve"-- this is Swerve to me, no questions asked. Besides, I love the mould, colours, and head anyway, so I'll be happy to add him to my collection.

I think it's because Gears was there intended repaint in mind but they were all like no Gears can't be an Asian Exclusive, but they thought of Swerve instead who totally could work as an exclusive. It's not like you'd be missing much compared to Gears? I dunno?
