Yesterday if you were not aware was the Metrocon at Metropolis Comics and Toys in Burnaby, BC, Canada! Venksta from Renderform was there showing off some upcoming products including this new upgrade set for Generations Swerve based on his appearance in the More than Meets the Eye comics. The set features a new head based more closely on Alex Milne's artwork, and also Swerve's rivet gun from issue 6 of the series! There was also a draw to win some of these upcoming products, including a black rivet gun.

Read on to view our mirror of the images made available so far.

Fallout
i was hoping the figure would hit stateside first before this happened. good luck getting one now, i guess..
jedijoe
how does this look like idw swerve? can someone post a pic comparing the two?
megatroptimus
That smile is goofy.
Chaos Convoy
Oh god..The gun IS the rivet gun.
Shatterpoint
Ehhh, I don't really like the head. It dosn't really look like MTMTE Swerve.

But I like the guns.
BScorpinok75
So the kit is a head and two guns? Guns are to my liking. Don't know that I care for head.
Onslaught24
that head is creepy as hell. like the guns though. and i have to agree with Fallout. i'm not gonna be able to get him for cheap now
Bountyan
I won the gun from the draw; it's pretty cool.

The smile on the head is goofy but it's still a vaaaaast improvement over the default head. Still most likely gonna wait for iGear to make a Swerve though
Timesynch
Meh. I would have preferred an iGear Mini Warriors style IDW Swerve.
Nemesis251
I might get flamed for this but......I hope the iGear guys who made the Kup head makes one for Swerve.
ORIO
Added the pic for you. Also, I don't like it. Impatiently waiting for Cogz and the inevitable repaint
Sol Fury
So what's the source on this? Who is making them?

Ah, thanks very much!
Stryker055
Eh... I don't like it. The head's too tall, the visor needs to be a bit more squared off, and that smile is just goofy. It's almost good, but needs some adjustments.
DJW107PRIME
This is cool and the head is excellent but that body is sorely lacking. I'd rather wait for Igear.... Which could be along wait.
2ndSndWve
not really a fan of the grin
Counterpunch?
I'm not sure that head looks like it will make the clearance of the transformation...looks too big.
FuRiOus_StyLZe
pretty sweet, thanks for the pics jigga! Gotta pick one up. wish I could've come up for the show yesterday. You guys should come down next saturday for Cybcon.

shadow panther
not a fan of that head, easy pass
CodeXCDM
The smile is a bit goofy, otherwise neat.
Grimlock_13
The head isn't Renderform's best offering but it definitely looks like G1 Swerve, MUCH more than the original head. Those guns are awesome.
Cadbane
I just love the design!
Cast
I've just ordered gen swerve but I'm not really feeling this upgrade, maybe its cos I gave up IDW out side of regeneration one.
Grandum
Cool figure, but not my cup of tea.
ORIO
While I'm not a fan of the head, the rivet gun is pretty damn cool
AutoCon2076
This makes for a great Go-Bot "Smallfoot," but I think Swerve's head looked better as it was.
Lumpy
I'm interested. This could be a fun set to pick up
samtastic
Had higher hopes. Looks ugly to me
Houndvoice
I see what was aimed for, but I'm sorry, this head doesn't feel like an upgrade to me. Also, what is the importance of the nail guns?? Has Swerve had those at one point?

Check the wiki, he shoots some one in the head by mistake with one or something in IDW's ongoing.

He shot Rung.
Also, really excited for the guns.
Sean Whitmore
I'm really not feeling this one. He can't represent IDW Swerve to me because of the tall, thin mold. That being the case, the head he comes with is just fine.

Now, an IDW head for Cybertron Swerve, that I could get behind.
Venksta
Sorry guys, this is only a quick and rough custom I made for fun to show off at the local TF meetup. The upgrade kit is not planned for a release.


Mods, please remove the news from the frontpage, as its only a one off custom for now. Thanks!
BScorpinok75
When will the kit be available and will the guns be a available without the head for those that aren't into head.
Auceps Prime
Kit looks good, nice guns... Not crazy about the head though, I'm looking for a head to upgrade this one to Orion Pax.
Infosaur
Proportions of the head seem wrong,,, for good or bad Swerve seems to have a broad low head.

How did they get this out so fast though? Mind boggling!
Kantus Prime
Swerve gains a head that makes him look stoned? I want it.
PoweredConvoy
I'd like it if he had a smile instead of a open mouth personally.

Will the rivet gun make it into production at least?
Backstop
Swerve colors on Kup with a new head look not bad.
