I was looking at the galleries of Autobot Swerve, and Honestly, he's not all that great. His mold is cool, but the colors and plastic seem really lack luster. I think that maybe the only reason he's so frickin hot is because of his exclusivity, which just means he's hard to get. The Rodimus Figure from the SDCC is in my opinion a worth while mold to go bonkers on, considering his exclusivity.. I don't know there is just some thing that is weird about such a lack luster toy getting hype because of his exclusiveness..

I would think an exclusive toy that is great and really wonderfully molded, and good plastic, ect... would be worth the attention.. it just seems like the fandom will go crazy over the simplist transformer, just because it comes with the tag, exclusive... there are some "In My Opinion" who qualify for the term "Exclusive Crap!!" this Autobot Swerve doesn't have that extreme flavor to him, but he's certainly not worth the effort, at least not on my part..

I could probably get the same reaction if I blew my nose, and the flem looked like an autobot symbol, posted it on ebay as an "exclusive" I bet I'd get offers!!!....is the fandom that crazy???

Yes you could, but it would be much faster if it looked like Jesus ore his mum....

I think he'S cool I'would love one of em but the money they want, pfh, I'll be getting myself the BotCon, atleast they are justified!

See I just think that the use of the words Exclusive, Rare, Ultimate, and one of a kind, are relegated to some toys of which don't really deserve that recognition, nor the attention.. now don't get me wrong Autobot Swerve is a cool figure, but certainly not the best...

He's fine as a delux, but not as a super rare exclusive, but I heread he's free if you test drive the car, if you get him the way they waqnt you to get him he fine and perfect but buying him, nope!

I think he looks wonderful, exclusive or not, i'd buy him if i had the opportunity, over any of these deluxes that were released because of game characters, or made up characters. As a toy I think he looks great.

His bot mode looks cool, alt mode looks like crap. I think he's a fun figure but nothing to put anyone's panties in a bunch over.

Meh... he's okay, not a bad figure if you consider the movie red drone figure...that one is pure ass!!!

I think the whole exclusive moniker works best when the character offered has some fiction behind him.

Botcon Seekers are exclusives and very desirable because of the connection fans have to the seekers.

But the Swerve mold doesnt really have any of that, it is a giveaway pure and simple. The ebay sellers have just jumped all over it trying to generate a demand that may not exist.

I think this one is for the strictest of completists only.
