Seriously, we've seen quite a few auctions now (there was 11 yesterday

) aaaaaaannnnnndddddd they have "Transformers Universe" instructions in English! Odd for any toy that wouldn't be seeing a US release...

To me this would indicate that Swerve is indeed coming to the US as part of Universe, and being distributed as an odd promo item in China like the "USA Editions" have been with Toy Dream Project or E-Hobby.

There's just no way Hasbro is going to do an all new mold and not milk it for all it's worth :p

I'm betting Hasbro will at least use the mold in the USA for the Universe line in 2008.

You'll get Deluxe Swerve for $15,000, with a FREE Aveo giveaway!

Not a bad deal.

I hope Hasbro will produce this as a regular toy item.

Yeah, it'll surely end up as something else. Maybe in this case they released the crappy version first for the Chinese, and we'll get a nicer repaint.

It bears a resemblance to the dancing Citreon Transformer. I imagine the version we end up seeing will be silver instead of that rather nifty red paint scheme.

I hope future repaints will be nicer.
Sometimes, later productions s are crappy.
