Animated

 * Swindle (Deluxe, 2008)


 * Swindle transforms into an armored Humvee-styled vehicle with roof-mounted cannon. This cannon mounts on his right arm in robot mode.

Trivia

 * Swindle's design is quite heavily influenced by his Generation 1 namesake's animation character model, from the "squarehead" with large purple optics to the windshield-chest with grill-stomach to the right-arm-mounted cannon.


 * He has a bolo tie. That's awesome.


 * Derrick J. Wyatt has noted that Swindle's mannerisms are based on Ron Popeil. (Coincidentally enough, "Weird Al" Yankovic has done a song about Popeil...)


 * Swindle is the first and currently only Decepticon to not have red eyes. This is in direct homage to his G1 toy.
