We have a correction to yesterday's news regarding Takara's Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-17, due to a mistranslation. AM-17 (スワーブ) is actually Swerve rather than the previously reported Swoop. Sorry to dash your Dinobot dreams!

スワー = Suwaapu or "Swarp" -> Swoop
スワー = Suwaabu or "Swarb" -> Swerve

Next question: who could he be a repaint of, if he is a repaint?

If it's voyager, I would guess he's a repaint/retool of Breakdown. It would certainly fit in with his G1 altmode of being an offroad SUV. That's also assuming that Swerve would be an homage to the G1 Swerve.

This is Prime Swerve we're talking about, he could be one guy inhabiting two bodies, so it might be TWO Bumblebee repaints in one box! :P

On, holy hell, their names are almost identical in Japanese! :shock:

My guess is most definitely a red Autobot repaint of Breakdown with a new head.

If it was a deluxe it could have been that head retool of Ratchet we saw a while back. Since it's Voyager, I'm betting Breakdown too.
