Transformers Animated Deluxe SWINDLE!!

My review of Transformes Animated Deluxe Swindle, in which I show off and give opinions on the figure.
Special thanks to Yizhi of TF08.net for providing this EXCELLENT figure and outstanding and fast service!!!

[@anderson1939]

Swindle is freakin' awesome , & I must said this is the best review of him without his Combataicons crew , thanks peaugh.

[@ChicoEdge]

Swindle was arguably the most used Combaticon in the G1 series ( but not used often enough). It was great when he tried to barter with Galvatron. Swindle is one of my favorites and yes, I have this figure.

[@ThatTransformersGuy]

nice review. looking forward to getting the figure.

[@demonbungle]

LOVE this figure, nice little slightly complex satisfying transformation, great colours and tribute to G1, displaying him with Ultra Onslaught looks good! Now I just need the other 3 made so I can Blu Tac together a Bruticus!!!

[@Glitch969]

"Hey, Wha' Happened?" :) Great review, P. .

[@darkhero101010]

so nice sir thanks a lort for been the first u rock

[@auvelier]

Jesus! i Want one!

[@autosaver]

He looks really polished...wow!

[@NesttySantta]

super cool

[@philippinebeyblade]

the tire transformation on the back is like soundwave

[@megamoc]

SWEET

[@masshole1200]

totly sick

[@fxfranz]

he looks better in your video than some of the early pics. some of his joints seem loose, like the chest plate--is that really the case? or just a quality issue? also, his arms seem to have trouble moving outward/ in-and-out --can you pose his arms outward? or do they just stay along the side of his body?

[@cksmith08]

totally. He rocks as Swindle.

[@chasinthroughthedecade]

One of the coolest Decepticons ever(even without his fellow G1 Combaticons)! Too bad he just got his butt kicked in the episode "SUV: Society of Ultimate Villainy."

[@darthvaderluigi]

hey yeah good point

[@WaffleSpycrab]

7 people are people who owe Swindle money.

[@ronin180x]

hey man great review was wonder what issue in quality you have with your figure , i have swindle to but the arms are loose and so is the cheast piece, wonder if you know any way of fixing pin joints

[@elitepidge001]

im getting this as i think animated figures rock and i want to complete the animated figure series.

[@C2da904]

I've been waiting to see this figure as well and he looks great. But I have to say that the more figures are released for this line, the more the lack of scale becomes obvious. It's almost as if they threw them together to get them on shelves.

[@GamiCross]

it looks so different to the naked eye because its ... More than meets the eye XD

[@guardsman1426]

i noticed on Cybertronian megatrons gun has the same clear bitz gimmick as swindle does

[@krayziejones]

i didn't ask if it was based on megatron, i meant it was like megatron's cannon. darkscorponok just meant his chest was like g1 optimus

[@CybertronNews22]

I love Fred Wilard as Swindle.

[@AwesomeJake103]

Did you know that this figure is now in stores.I got him yesterday with blurr.And,did you know that they were part of a 2 pack from Target

[@bell3341]

my parents got him yesterday with activators patrol bumblebee in idaho

[@Fred55843]

yes it will

[@LunarFuror]

Just got him today, and although not bad, It's not my favorite. His robot mode just suffers a little from the back and hands in my opinion, alt mode is nice though.

[@ThatsBumblebee2U]

I got this toy today and I love it! Although when I first loaded his weapon and fired it, it almost hit my Mom.

[@partymonster411]

dude can u buy another to make a custom transwarp belly popper-out thingy THAT WOULD BE AWESOME

[@Newtilator]

Did you paint SOundwaves guitar/Lazerbeak? Thats coool! Is he better than Blurr or Shockwave?

[@alucard608]

Just give him a shredded cloak and you've got "dotm" megatron in robot mode!!

[@Legoanimaniac922]

his torso reminds me of optimus prime from the G1 TV series

[@Jazzboy195]

who is shorter, Voy. Bulkhead, or deluxe soundwave?

[@LunaticPrime]

The transformation reminds me very much of Optimus Prime's. Splitted windshield becomes chest, front turns into arms, fake grill as belly... And on the packaging (back of the cark board) you can see his "belly gun" (gatling gun) flipped out under the front bumper. Does that actually work or did they just photoshop that for some reason?

[@tlk4554]

According to TFWiki it can flip out in SUV mode but hinders it in some way.

[@LunaticPrime]

Tyrannosaurus Rex Yeah, I have this figure now and when it's flipped out, the front wheels aren't touching the ground anymore. The gun is slightly too thick.

[@tlk4554]

Lunatic Prime Oh that's a shame.

[@RadioCambodia]

did u painted Soundwave's guitar?? or its a repaint

[@zorotekz]

do ya think its something with swindle?

[@narubaku]

this guy should have been a voyager class

[@joeymc900]

wer did u get him

[@Azap333]

he's small but cool

[@alenthampy5503]

Full name of swindle??

[@jippiandy]

but he is a nice size indeed^^ but if it was going 2 be accurate... that was what i meant^^

[@spartenman65]

@megafallenangle Megatron prime? O_O!

[@MegaBlackhawk12]

swindle is supposed to be smaller than all the other decepticons

[@MrSwindle]

Rude

[@gizi37]

yeah they have part grey, their different so what?

[@9mandazi9]

Wanna sell it? Just jokin man, i wouldn't ask 4 him cause i know u lov dis dude.

[@jippiandy]

omfg is swindle that short^^ maybe they shoulda made a voyager cze he is taller than optimus :/

[@DalekWhisperer]

But no drawer in is torso.........

[@gym103]

the feature of this swindle and the movie swindle are the same

[@coolrules30]

i think his hands look funny

[@MeesterMan00]

the highest rated comment is from 2 years ago guys, c'mon.

[@romxxii]

swindle's such a crappy toy in terms of alt mode, articulation, and loose parts (that flappy "dimensional storage" panel). Plus sometimes he can barely stand on those wheel heels of his. Then you hold him up to the light, and...he's so purple! So Swindle continues to share a spotlight on my desk, the only brick lovingly displayed among the action pose bots.

[@MrSwindle]

Oi take that back

[@chrisr291]

SUV

[@bwaybig]

no optimus cannot fit in his chest

[@chenchotron005]

awsemoe but i don't like the hands tey are BIIIIIIG¡¡¡¡¡....

[@heavyarms01h]

I still think it's too bad that we never got the other Combaticons, or an Animated Bruticus. But Swindle was a great character in Animated. Even without his G1 teammates, he stood out on his own. ^_^

[@Omegagrimlock1313]

Great review, I've been really looking foreward to it. Once he comes out in Canada I'm going to get him.

[@DeceptiFans]

Awesome toy. Thank you for review

[@sk8colton]

awsome review!

[@iwasherenotyou]

awsome review dude

[@T2rx6]

Just got mine.. Love him! He's got such character. He (and the other animated guys I've got) compel me to collect even more animated toys!

[@RadioCambodia]

ohh how i missed that...thnks dude

[@NinjaBoy641]

Swindle: the names Swindle. I'm what you'd call an ingullactict arms dealer. Austin: Say Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

[@Acardus]

At first I didn't like his "salesman" attitude until "Decepticon Air" episode where his persona makes him sooooo Depecticon! Now I want to buy him!

[@angelus2402004]

Sweet!

[@DMSL2007]

Great review, this figure is very nicely made. I wish it was a voyager though. Here's hoping Hasbro will make the other Combaticons and that they can combine.

[@fuzzy15946]

awesome

[@Serath87]

I really like this figure. I managed to get my hands on him a couple of days ago, absolutely love it. Also got Blurr, and Swindle really does look like a midget compared to him, dispite being about the same size in vehicle mode. Watching this video, I couldn't help but notice that the torso on mine stays in place alot better than on your figure.

[@carnut015]

Hey! They gave Swindle a roof! he is no longer an open-top jeep. Nice of them to give him an alt mode upgrade.

[@keanboprime]

ive just learned that target is having exclusive animated repaints of starscream (to sunstorm with activators ratchet) and shockwave (to g1 colors with activators bumblebee)

[@D0nnyB0y]

In the episode, he looks more like a Hummer than anything else. For those who don't know, S.U.V in the title stands for the Society of Ultimate Villany.

[@PurexOvvnage8888]

Yea with bumble bee did you cut of stingers from another bumble bee and combined them

[@WolfmanX1000]

That abdominal piece where his chest cannon comes out - does it tab in anywhere? It looks a little loose.

[@shockmatter]

ok so im gonna buy all elite guard members, optimus prime and his little crew,the decepticons that were with megatron in the beginning of the new series (when he had his new body) do you think thats good? just your opinion

[@PurexOvvnage8888]

He has oil slick hands but not was rubbery does the ab peice peg on tightly because it seems like it isn't

[@tony77tony77]

yes must have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chaoticon]

how convincing are his shoulder cannons? I couldn't really tell from the video.

[@transgeek2345]

dude i wANT THIS GUY

[@weebryan100]

when you fold his chest out does he have a gattiling gun that folds out

[@natemit]

my animated soundwave has messed up paint too

[@Ozaku88]

that fool decepticon, gun dealer.

[@TheKimisanna]

aw hes so ccute his eyes are so big!

[@MrSwindle]

Awww thanks

[@krayziejones]

true, very g1 and also megatron "esque" arm cannon. i thought swindle was awesome right when i saw him on the show.

[@dreadwing0]

Yo peaugh when is this figure supposed to be released as well as cheetor and cyclonus? Great review man! as usual.

[@theprimo100]

can optimus fit inside his chest panel, like in the show?ps, peaugh, please, or anybody, make a vid of the smallest deluxe(soundwave)next to the biggest deluxe(lockdown)

[@jippiandy]

can u make a VIDEO of the TOP-5 or TOP-10 figures from the animated series... plz ( if not u can just write it...)

[@thorgrim103]

kina looks like a mix of megatrons gun with optimuses torso. any way he look really cool oh and the left arm kept on snaping back inside the arm area and wouldn't stay out. theres my nit pick for him.

[@kennyscott11]

@Chutultu thats what think of so does shockwaves connon

[@Darkscorponok]

is it me or does animated swindle have a very g1 optimus prime esque chest?

[@shub125]

how do you get these toys

[@DonTheTurtleDude]

lol, but he is not technicaly a decepticon. just he is TOTALY not an autobot, thats why he has the deciepticon symbol...........

[@TheCastellan]

The original had an arm gun as well.

[@hioeo123]

that guy looks like the G1 swindle

[@armbullet]

I want this toy really bad now. It's shucha shame that he's so short. P.S. Your soundwave had gold fingers, did you do that yourself?

[@jippiandy]

can u please give me an top 5 of the animated series... only deluxe and voyagers...( plz but dont put in lockdown^^ i have that one) an top 10 of the animated series of figures^^

[@whattabox]

at around 5:35 swindle looks like a constructacon

[@bakuganewsnet]

what episode is he in

[@jamiejoseph1]

just got my swindle and the paint is rubbish and has a big paint blob on the rear plus the chest peice doesnt fit properly in robot mode very disapointed

[@Brettbren]

His chest reminds me of G1 primes chest.

[@chenchotron005]

@Chutultu yes i know but i don't like the hands they are SOO BIG
