- Sweeps are Decepticons from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Hey, we just got back from auditions for the next Star Wars movie.
Sweeps are the minions of Scourge created by Unicron. Sweeps are visually indistinguishable from Scourge himself, although Sweeps do not necessarily have identical voices. Although only a few are seen initially during Unicron's threat, there appears to be an inexhaustible supply of them later on. That's actually a good thing, as Galvatron tends to shoot them.
Like, all the time.
- Italian name: Incrociatori
Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon
- Voice actors: Jack Angel, Dick Gautier, Jerry Houser, Aron Kincaid, Chris Latta, Hal Rayle, Frank Welker (USA)
A rare moment of not being shot by Galvatron.
The original Sweeps were created by Unicron from fallen Decepticons, but the seemingly-infinite number suggests that Scourge or the Sweeps may possess self-cloning abilities similar to the Insecticons - altogether realistic, as the three original Insecticons were among the discarded bodies that Unicron used to form Cyclonus, Scourge, and their combined retinue. The Transformers: The Movie
The Sweeps are by far the favorite cannon fodder of Galvatron, being beaten or destroyed in any number of abysmal ways. These ways include being thrown into the great beyond, into lava pits, and into the path of an energy-mongering transorganic vampire monster, and of course, being shot at by Galvatron. This may explain their perceived cowardice, as well as their tendency to grumble and whine, because who'd honestly be stoked about being the Redshirts for the Decepticons?

- Well, while technically not "Sweeps", any additional Scourge toys you may own can easily function as Sweep toys, what with the characters being identical and all.
