The Energon Pub

I don't post on Seibertron much, sorry. So I'll be new to most of you.

This is Swerve from More Than Meets The Eye, made out of some smaller figures from (I guess) Armada. I found them in the $3 bin at Quake in Chicago.

If that image doesn't work, go to my TF blog:

More pics when I get a chance. My camera broke, so I just have my cell phone. BOOOOO.

Nice! I Regnize the arms and legs, but who's the body from?

Energon figures. From a pal on another board:

"The head and legs are from Hardtop, the body Brakedown."

Hardtop is an Omnicon (Autobot) scout from the Energon line, Brakedown is a Decepticon scout from the Cybertron line.

You did a great job!

Thanks RA!

I am going to do something to improve his "car mode" but I have to say, when I transform him, paint chips off. SO I'm content to just have him in robot mode. Baby steps. This will do until the iGear version of Swerve comes out in the distant future.

It kinda reminds me of the yellow zord from the Rescue Megazord now that I take a good look at it. xD

Actually both was from Cybertron/Galaxy Force...

Hardtop was a decepticon released during the Cybertron toyline. He was later recolored into Swindle during the later half of Cybertron and then was then recolored again into a more realistically colored Hardtop during the Movie line as a Target exclusive scout. He used his head and legs for this custom.

The other character used on this custom is Brakedown, not to be confused with the decepticon characters named Breakdown. He was a autobot character who was released and featured in the show during the "speed planet" part of the Cybertron line and was later recolored into Brakedown GTS which was a Kup homage. The arms and torso from this figure were used on this custom.
