    They haven't been made available yet, but they should be offered by anybody selling the main set. Probably whenever Onslaught goes up for order, if I had to guess.

    Yeah, and Fraudo, much like the rest of OM has small deviations, albeit more inspired from other forms in continuity. While UT does it’s own approach, much like other companies.

    It’s a funny game this MP buying scheme.

    Wow, Im impressed. I really like Ocular Max's better than UT.

    Very cool comparison shots. I approve! :cool: ;)

    Should go up for sale when Incursus does though fairly sure the parts will be manufactured at a different time since they were a much later development for the set.

    Eh I still strongly disagree with this assessment. UT's Swindle doesn't really look like Swindle to me so much as "generic wide jeep becomes heroic beige toy". Fraudo better captures the spirit of the character, has all the crucial animation details, perfect color and just gives off more Swindle personality in general.

    This pic really makes this clear to me finally seeing them side by side its the final nail in the coffin of me ever considering UT's Swindle, I just don't need it, never will.

    UT's just isn't Swindle to me. Fraudo has that "eye catching asshole" look I always want to see on Swindle toys. And if FT ever does the Combaticons I hope they aim for the same thing; rich yellow, big booties, some chunk specifically to benefit the leg mode. An MP Swindle always needs these things to be a great Swindle toy imo.

    Toy Swindle is fat though, so I hope MMC has plans to retool this guy to his toy version.

    Oh I'm totally buying Fraudo cause he still looks a ton of fun, who doesn't want a Swindle?

    I don't really see Gahz as "heroic" if anything he just looks like a more realistic Swindle to me. Almost as if David Tennant was going to play him or something like that. Really we're just coming down to interpretations of the character. I don't really care about animation accuracy and Sunbow model sheets belong in the trash. Swindle to me is a smirking smarmy yellow offroad vehicle who'd sell you out for pocket change. That's just my opinion though.

    Agreed. That Toy Spirit is something only few companies nail. MMC are great at it and it really shows here.

    To me, the Swindles are about even, Fraudo doesn't blow UT Swindle out of the water the way Impetus did to UT Vortex. As I've said before, I like the proportions of Fraudo's weapons better. His scatterblaster is a better size for his arm, and his gyro gun still looks like a rocket, but at least it looks pistol sized. UT Swindle's is just overly long and doesn't look good in his hands. Plus in jeep mode, I like that Fraudo's gun mount actually clears the windshield without having to be angled up.

    That being said, I think UT Swinde's accessories are more "playable". You can mount his scatterblaster on the side OR front of his arm, and I like that you can combine his weapons together to form a sniper rifle.

    But yeah, I can't wait for Fraudo to come in and compare them in hand.

    Got mine from Show.z yesterday. Of course, since they use pretty slow shipping I probably won't have it for two weeks.

    While he looks good, I still prefer my UT Onslaught. I feel like the biggest reason might be either his huge height, or the unsightly wheels on his abdomen there that extend the length of the body itself

    Onslaught is $170 and I don't even mind based on his size and how he looks. Can't wait to get these. Just waiting on Swindle to show up on TFSource.

    I wouldn't call them unsightly. That's them blending toy with toon as that's where the wheels were on the toy.

    That's the thing there though. Am looking for a most toon accurate collection. I still might buy him, but for now, UT Onslaught is safe being a one off figure with the rest of the OX Combaticons

    He's absolutely perfect and it's going to be my figure of the year next year for sure. Pretty much counting out every purchase made after lol

    Understandable I suppose. At the very least you can never have too many Combaticons.
