New Photos of Transformers Movie Swindle and Bonecrusher Figures

Does that surprise you, Red? It's a MOVIE design.

Both get a meh from me. At least we know who won those auctions though.

Swindle's head sculpt looks like inspired by G1 Shockwave?!

Actually, it's a Game design, as Swindle is not in the movie.

Different brush, same tar/shit mixture.

QFT, homelessjunkeon. And by 'movie design,' I meant 'design inspired/in the same style as the characters of the movie,' AKA 'Bayformers.' Sorry if you misunderstood me.

Bonecrusher should have totally been a leader class figure. I really wish a sense of scale had been kept with this line. It would have been so much cooler. That aside, he looks pretty cool. Spiky shoulders rule!

Swindle looks like ass.

Swindle... eh, I'm not fond of him.

While I agree with Apex that Bonecrusher should be huge, he is still insanely cool!

Aside from the feet on both they look o.k.
I want to see them in person.

I can't wait to get bonecrusher for my dad and well duh(for my self). I love he could really skate and has the tail(I hope) one of the best and the guy says swindle is really not bad so I will agree with him. Bonecrusher kicks ass.

i totally dig the Bonecrusher thingy

!!!!!I WANT BONECRUSHER!!!!!

Swindle's bot mode made me laugh decently hard.

I like Bonecrusher for his hate of public transportation but I'll most likely pass on the figure.

Swindle? More like Super-Cameratron. M I rite? ROTFLMAO

Just what kind of car is Swindle? I don't recognise it. Is it a real make?

I dunno. Could be, but I'm not seeing it. Swindle for me is like Voyager-class Optimus Prime; the head could have been one hell of a lot better than it was, but the rest of the figure is something I'd buy. Robot mode isn't as good as most of the figures I like, but it isn't something I'd pass on either.

Bonecrusher, however, I might pass on. That's one Movie figure I truly don't like.

Its kind of a lancer style car, but not dead on so they dont have to license it

The things coming out of these pods are getting weirder and weirder

bonecrusher looks pretty good. swindle has a bad bot mode

"An interesting thing I noticed on Swindle's packaging says that he is not in all versions of the game, probably referring to the handheld games versus the console/pc versions."

The Game's site has a screenshot with him in it. I don't know if it's a Psp screenshot, though.

Swindle: He should be a jeep, but iuts the movie so ill have to see.
Bonecrusher: I like a lot, he should be bigger, but looks tottally sweet.

I'll proberly pick them both up anyway.

Bonecrusher is made of win, damnit.

Swindle is indeed pure ass (as mentioned earlier).

In fact, he actually sucks so much that it hurts to look at him.

never expected much from the toys, so not dissapointed.

Holy crap Bonecrusher kicks ass!

Seriously. The toy is suprisingly faithful to the movie design, much better than I expected. And they kept the shoulder spikes, which were an absolute MUST for me. Only wish he was bigger...

Swindle looks awful though. As a drone I guess he's okay, but not worthy of the name "Swindle"

Bonecrusher looks pretty ok. I'm not 100% sold on the movie-bot aesthetic just yet, but he'll probably find a home on my shelf.

The only thing I like about Swindle is "Intelligence: 1, Skill: 3, Fireblast: 9", which makes me think he's fired that ugly chest cannon at least once before remembering to extend it, and blown himself to bits in the process. Hope it works like that in the videogame.

I can understand altering the appearances of the bots to a significant extent to appease the crowds at the cinemas, but do they really have to alter their personalities to such a significant extent?

Swindle is a war profiteer with ulterior motives, not a brainless lackey.

swindle reminds me of those super gobots lol

What's with non-movie movie-line figures and laser-shooting bellybuttons? Between Swindle and Wreckage....

Probably something to do with the fights in game. Since they seem to be drones, maybe that's there power core or something.

Bonecrusher is a'ight but Swindle is poo.

Eh, could be worse, but certainly not the best. I can't believe that they picture Scorponok in his "bot mode" on the packagng to try to sell him. Not gonna work, at least for me.

Going by the tech spec it sounds like that's just the source of their decently powerful but poorly aimed ranged attacks in the game. One of those game enemies that will only kill you if you're unlucky or thunderingly incompetent.

Bonecrusher is amazing.

Swindle....not so much.

Bonecrusher rules ass and guts, must own.

Swindle on the other hand.....

Bonecrusher looks pretty good; reminds me of Blastcharge.

"Swindle" looks like an rebuilt Armada Laserbeak. WTF???

It hadn't ocurred to me before but now I don't think I'll be able to see him any other way.

Car reminds me of Armada Sideswipe, robot looks like Armada Laserbeak's head stacked on top of a mech built on Junkion.

I like Bonecrsuher a lot, but Swindle is a little on the meh side. I will be getting both, but Swindle isnt going to be too impressive.

They should have named Swindle as Runamuck.

Not a big fan of either, but I'll probably get them to try to be.

i like both.. i wish bone crusher was bigger.. and swindle is different but it looks posable thou which puts it all above g1 bricks.

IMHO swindle looks like ass.. I like Bonecrusher though (I wish he were bigger though).

Swindle's 'bot mode reminds me of the Decepticons in the first prequel comic.

Ok, I was concerned at the beginning that Bonecrusher was gonna suckass, but after i have seen him in recent movie shots, and his toy.. I am now totally a fan of him. considering he's been in the g-1 line as a constructicon, and a buffalo in beast wars.. its not bad..he's historic as a character and not a new one made up just for the movie..

I agree with all earlier posts, he should have been done in Leader class, in fact the majority of the Decepticons and Autobots should have been done in Leader class..just the main guys Optimus And Megatron are done, which I suppose is why they call it Leader class and not just for size, but it shows that in Leader class there is more attention to detail in the moldings, the bots are sturdier and the colors and paint applications look better..

So I am disappointed in the way Bonecrusher was produced, simply because he will never be made into Leader class, and there by i cannot pose him correctly with optimus Prime as they battle on the freeway in the movie..and i simply refuse to Purchase Voyager Prime.. I hate super soaker guns and the cheap plastic coloring..

As far as Swindle, meh.... he's ok I guess, he looks better in the in game screens then he does in toy form.. but what a surprise there, i mean these are Hasbro releases and not from Japan..

Curse you Alternators and Masterpiece toy lines!!! Doth hath Spoiled me for the cheaper lines from Hasbnro!!!


Bottom line of what I think???


MAKE BONECRUSHER, BUMBLEBEE, STARSCREAM, BLACKOUT, BARRICADE (WITHOUT FRENZY) IRONHIDE, IN LEADER CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Whew anyone notice how many robots are named with "B" I bet its for in honor of the name "Bay" what a joke...

Neat stuff. I'm definitely going to be kitbashing two Swindles for a Runabout/Runamuck set.

I should use movie Swindle's frame as the base for a new HMW bio... an upgraded version of Voyeur, Decepticon surveillance expert (now with wheels!)
