Valued site sponsor BigBadToyStore has a new Transformers up for pre-order, and it is.... Aveo Swerve? Yes the Transformer, that's more elusive than your pair of socks in the washing machine, is now at BBTS for the price of $74.99 US. The Aveo Swerve craze originated in Europe a few years ago, while also hitting Canada last year. This left fans not in those areas bewildered and aggravated, left to bid on high prices on Ebay. Fortunately we at Seibertron.com were able to receive the figure and we took a gallery of the figure a few months back. Whether or not the gallery entices you to pre-order the figure at BBTS is up to you!

Keep it at Seibertron.com - The Ultimate Transformers Resource!

Its a solid figure, but not a 75 dollar figure. Open hands and no weapons.

I just bought one on Sunday for $60 shipped. Not really happy about BBTS's markup here.

Bah. I want one of these, but not $75 bad. Especially considering GM was giving them away for free. Too bad they never did it around here.

I love the bot mode of this figure. It really is amazing. The head sculpt is also fantastic. There is a lot to like about this figure.......except for the fact that it is an Aveo. The Aveo is just an absolute turd of a car.

Try being a broke adult. :-(

Even if I had the money, I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much on a deluxe, rare and cool as it may be.

So what series does this figure part of? The instructions say Universe, but does that mean Classics/Universe?

Designed to fit the aesthetics of both the Movie line a Classics/Universe, Swerve belongs to neither. His instructions logo puts him in the first Universe line (2003-2005) and it's design has nothing in common with any Swerve before it. Due to the multiversal nature of the Universe fiction, he could be Movie or Classicverse or even G1 or something entirely unique!

Me? I pretty much think of him as a Classics version of Deadpool.
