Huh? He's a customized Chevy Silverado pickup truck. The bottom of the card where they label the licensing isn't seen (it would be below the names of the "Also Available" characters").

Before the movie line, the only liscensed altmodes were the Side Burn molds and the Alternators. Did that stop you from buying other stuff?

"Cross Sell" is a term used for the advertising of other figures. It's not the name of a character. Here's Wikipedia's listing for a Cross Sell: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_selling
The other figues you see listed on the packaging are what's known as a cross sell.
Thank you! I'm sort of embarrased at how many people didn't catch onto that, it's porbably just a mistranslation from the Asian boards.
Dropkick is cool though, anyone notice the all the decals on the entire hood and roof of the truck form a giant Decepticon symbol?
Wicked, eh?

Hey, in G1 they toys weren't licenced, they were just ripped off! (Datsuns, Lambos, VW bugs, etc)

He obviously isn't a facsimile of an existing vehicle, if that's what you mean.

Really? I could have sworn I saw someone offhandedly ID the vehicle mode earlier in the thread, implying that it was pretty obvious to anyone who knows enough about pickup trucks.
That being said. I fail yo see why having a liscensed vehicle mode would be so important... it seems to me that having a convincing one, IE one that wouldn't seem out-of-place at full scale on the road, would be good enough.

Hey, someone also said movie Swindle was a Chevy Cobalt. I think these non-licensed guys look close to actual vehicles, but are just different enough so they don't have to pay for rights.

Right... But the question I'm asking now is, is that good enough for you?

The King Kong styled robot mode however is just disappointing, But I guess it will give Starscream a friend.

Spoilers add downforce, I'm sure top fuel dragsters don't think they have a ricey spoiler.

Actually, Swindle IS a Chevy Cobalt. Though not very well done, sadly.
Looks more like a...well, yes, a Colarado. I said Silverado before, but now that you mention it, it DOES look like a Colorado. I like it. Bulky or not, he's buff. Things seem to look better in real life, so I won't be so quick to write him off. Love the huge Decepticon logo.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
