This has bothered me for the longest time and I don't know why I waited til now to ask or why it matters since I'll likely never own them, but...

Is there anything differentiating the 3 sweep figures from last years Botcon souvenir set? Anything at all, a hidden number, a mold difference, a paint application? How are we supposed to know which one is Sweep 2, 6, or 7?

Oddly enough, they're all identical! That means you can army build the set.. get a ton of Sweeps in your collection and it's a riot.

Take all 3 Sweeps. One in your left hand, one in your right and one still on the shelf/table/whatever.
Left hand: Sweep 2
Right hand: Sweep 6
Table: Sweep 7
That's always right.
Or wrong.
Whatever. Their all the same thing unless you buy them one at a time and they send you a random filecard.

wow, seeing that pic of them all together, it's pretty clear that Galvatron is crazy. Anyone constantly beating up guys that are that much bigger than them has to be.

That's how I got mine. I bought individual sweeps and assembled a full set of bio cards.

I see how it is. Oh well, thanks anyway guys. Actually, since that is the case what's to keep us from having Sweeps apart from 2, 6, and 7? They could re-release the set with bios as sweeps 3-5(I always figured Sweep 1 was Scourge himself), but whatever.

That is a seriously good display of the group. I really like that a lot.

The numbers 2 6 & 7 weren't chosen at random. They were all Sweeps with lines in Season 3. The numbers were taken straight from the pages of the script so these three were the only Sweeps with designations.

And no Scourge doesn't count as a Sweep. The Sweeps are clones/copies of Scourge. Kind of like Animated Starscream and his clones.
