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

Its a voyager, so none of those.

If it's voyager, I would guess he's a repaint/retool of Breakdown. It would certainly fit in with his G1 altmode of being an offroad SUV. That's also assuming that Swerve would be an homage to the G1 Swerve.
