What is this, The Venture Bros? Society Of Ultimate Villainy? That reeks of The Guild Of Calamitous Intent...
If Bumblebee and Sari thrust their arms into the air and scream "Go team Autobot!" at the end of the episode, I'm going to club myself in the head.

Now the Decepticons are going to look REAL threatening since the Autobots will be off guard after fighting so many weaker things!
Really, I don’t buy that whole deal about it being to make the Decepticons more threatening, does anyone remember what the original name for this show was? Transformers Heroes, and if I recall they even stated at Botcon there were to be more super villains that were cut out, hence the name “Heroes”.
Oh well, Swindle looks okay, at least he’s still yellow.

I would rather watch Venture Bros. That show is awesome!

Actually, he looks just like his G1 counterpart. He, like Megatron has an arm mounted cannon.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love The Venture Bros. To pieces.
The thing is, it's meant to be outlandish and satirical (come on...Guild Of Calamitous Intent? lol) and it handles all of that quite well.
Animated is aimed at kids and meant to be outlandish, but that's it.
I realize they're not one and the same, but after reading that title for Animated, I'm half expecting The Monarch to pop in with "Hellooo."

Highlight to read:
In "A Fist Full Of Energon" Lockdown makes his return and he gives Prowl an upgrade (yes, one of his famous upgrades) which is a sidecar that becomes armor for Prowl. Both he and Lockdown have to go after Starscream and uncover his clone army.

I loved G1 Swindle in the cartoon but the toy was in no way comparable.
Good cartoon to toy translation has been one of Animated's greatest strengths so far. If that continues, Swindle hits my preorder list. (Along with the entire elite guard.)

Notice how the robot mode looks ALOT like Optimus Prime and he has an Arm Cannon like Megatron.

Fail.
Swindle looks okay though.

G1 Swindle
Animated Swindle
See the connection now?

You are made of complete win. Thank you for posting those pictures so people get the idea.
*smacks head against wall for not thinking of posting them*

Swindle was always one of my favorites, and this new version looks great. Now show me pics for a toy release.

Is the female's name supposed to be Powdered Sugar?

He looks bitchin!!

I like how he also transforms into a Hummer.
Posted by Jazzz on May 6th, 2008 @ 7:54pm CDT
I was expecting Swindle to look shrimpier.
Stll good.
Looks like a hybrid of G1 Megatron and Optimus prime.
Prowl's armour?

I think it's just to get the grill across. I'm sure it won't be a repaint.

It's not a repaint, the alt mode is completly different so there's no way it can be the same mold. The robot mode does look alot like Optimus though.

Fred Willard has been in almost everything. He was even on Stargate SG-1 once.
But Swindle he is not.

I was so hoping they'd G1-homage him...and I am not yet disappointed (remains to be seen once the ep airs). I just hope they make him the ever-so-shady-bastitch that he really is (see Spotlight: Ultra Magnus for details!), or the closest facsimile thereof!
Will probably be the only reason S.U.V. will be worth watching, since it apparently is loaded with all the uber-stupid human "super-villains" of TF:A's past (icky!) Owell, I will know for sure once I see the ep!
