Swerve (G1)

Swerve is an Autobot from Generation 1

Swerve is a menace to anyone driving nearby. He's easily distracted by just about anything that catches his attention. Dispite this he's quite intelligent and skilled as a metallurgist, analyzing the properties of a meterial with unique sensors in his hands. When he gets caught up in a scientific problem he becomes almost laser-like in focus and intensity. Unfortunately this generally leaves him just as distracted from any other tasks at hand, and just as accident prone a driver, as ever. Swerve and "traffic accident" just go hand in hand. He's almost always in need of some repairs, major or minor because of it.

Toy
Swerve is a remold of the Microchange toy originally used for Gears.

A Transformers: Universe toy (a red recolor or Armada Blurr) named Swerve exists but has no official Bio or appearence and so it si unknown if it is in anyway related to the G1 character. Swerve was given an Alternator figure as well, a remold of Alt. Track as a red corvette. This figure also lacks a Bio or backstory but given the head remold was done to match him it is safe to assume it IS intended to be a new version of G1 Swerve.
