if it isn't a new mold, and I hope it is, but if it isn't, I'd like them to make whatever they repaint look as much like the G1 comic version of Divebomb as possible. Especially since he seems to already be Swoop in the FOC game.

Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Prowl, Astrotrain, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blurr, Perceptor, GDO Wheelie and Springer, or 3rd Party Motobot Arcee, FP Springer, iGear Ratchet and Ironhide, City Commander (and/or Ultra Magnus), Starscream (deluxe) Coronation add-on, or Spike and Daniel in their Exo-Suits.

I think it may be a new mold, as at a recent seminar Hasbro hinted at TF: P Dinobots. :-B

Okay, so now its Swerve, not Swoop. Still a voyager. Don't really see any of the known voyagers being repainted as Swerve. In G1 he was a pickup, Universe a racecar & a Chevy aveo, Energon a sports car, Alternators and movies he was various Corvettes, upcoming asia-only generations hes a Kup pickup repaint.

The closest to any of those modes we always know a mold for in voyager is I guess Breakdown maybe? And thats not that close.

You sure? I'd like to see the name of the guy in Japanese script, as both names are spelled almost the same in Japanese; the only difference would be a dakuten (for "b" or "v" sounds) or handakuten (for "p" sounds).

EDIT: apparently it is Swerve. The Katakana (NOT Kanji) spell out スワーブ, su-wa-a-bu, or Swerve. so get updating! :P

Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

We have a correction to yesterday's news regarding Takara's Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-17, due to a mistranslation. AM-17 (スワーブ) is actually Swerve rather than the previously reported Swoop. Sorry to dash your Dinobot dreams!

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:I've double checked the info on some Japanese sites, and it has cleared: AM-17 is indeed Swerve, not Swoop. Easy mistake to make though, look at this, and watch the accents:

スワープ = Suwaapu or "Swarp" -> Swoop
スワーブ = Suwaabu or "Swarb" -> Swerve

Next question: who could he be a repaint of, if he is a repaint?
