Swoop (Classics)


 * Swoop is an Autobot Mini-Con from the Classics portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Swoop is a member of --and apparently the leader of-- the Mini-Con Dinobots.


 * ''Pre-release name: Terrrosaur

Classics

 * Dinobots (Mini-Con Team, 2006)


 * Swoop transforms into a robotic pteranodon. His jointing allows him to stand on his hindfeet as well as assume a normal "flying" position.  He was only available in a Mini-Con Team set with Knockdown and Terrorsaur.

Trivia

 * There are numerous paint application differences between the Swoop pictured on the cardback and the final product. One possibility is that since the molds were originally intended to be in two-packs rather than three-packs, the number of available paint applications (which are carefully monitored) per piece was larger in the two-pack arrangement, neccessitating some omissions for the three-pack release.


 * Originally, the Swoop mold was to be a Decepticon-allied Mini-Con named "Terrorsaur", as part of a Cybertron-series two-pack with the Mini-Con who would become Firebot of the Night Rescue Team.
