Transformers Movie Deluxe Decepticon Swindle From Hasbro
Product Description
Swindle refers to a unit type used to populate both the Autobot and Decepticon ranks; this model, the Swindle version with the camera lens-type head, indicates a Decepticon unit, such as the one that interrogated Bumblebee. He looks cool in a scavenging, impromptu way, and appears to be as well articulated as his fellow Deluxe scale Decepticons. Swindle is equipped with a large torso-mounted cannon. Swindle is cited as being the intellectual equivalent of a Sharticonâs tail, but he compensates for the deficit with crazed enthusiasm, bizarre antics, and a zigzagging battle style. Swindle takes pleasure in the random detonation of all things within his immediate sphere. A horde of Swindle units would seem to indicate a minor cataclysm resulting in hackneyed explosions and casualties on either side.

Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer SWINDLE is one of many DECEPTIONS brought to Earth by MEGATRON just to cause as much trouble as possible for the AUTOBOTS. He's not a great fighter, but he makes up for it in the amount of pleasure he takes just in blowing stuff up. His extending torso cannon fires explosive rounds, and he leaps around like a madman, firing randomly in a fight. Battling SWINDLE is like battling a crazy bundle of living dynamite! Change this advanced-conversion, DECEPTICON figure from robot mode to vehicle mode – and back again! Robot mode features an awesome, extending torso cannon!

Better for older kids I ordered this for my 3-year old, since he likes these kinds of toys. I didn't realize how complicated these are to transform (I still haven't figured it out, need to read the directions). The first thing that happened is the car doors popped off - maybe they are supposed to, I don't know. I'm sure a child who is a little older could figure it out in about a minute, but not good for the younger ones.
Easy Beginners Toy Swindle is the easiest Transformer that I have. It is probably best for people who have not had the experience with these toys yet. Swindle may sometimes be red and sometimes orange, depending on when and where you buy it. There have been many cases of this red Transformer being orange, possibly from mis-coloring.
Who cares about the name? First off, if you are going to get hung up on names compared to looks, then Ironhide should have been Trailblazer, Bumblebee should have been Sunstreaker, and Jazz resembles Bluestreaker more than G1 Jazz. But who cares? They look great, and so does this one (for the most part). I will admit Swindle (yes, I will call him Swindle) is not quite as well made as the other movie Transformers I've gotten. His car mode does not fit together as seemlessly as my others (those mentioned above). However, he transforms much more easily than the others and feels like he'll stand up to play more readily, if you are looking for ones for the kids. My only complaint is when he arrived, he did not look exactly like he's pictured here (or even on the box for that matter). His head is slightly different and has more of an orange tint to him than I expected. Other than that, and the fact that I think this deluxe "movie" Transformer would have made a great addition to the movie, I think he's great.
