Transformers Toy News

TFW2005 member Kickback has posted the full profile and bio for Transformers Animated Swindle, taken from the toy's packaging.

Motto:"Hey man. Wanna buy a plasma cannon, cheap?"

Mane:Swindle
Function: Decepticon Weapons Specialist

Profile:

SWINDLE is a one-robot black market. He's only a DECEPTICON by default, since they're the ones who most often take advantage of his unbeatable deals on armor, weapons and combat systems. If it shoots, explodes, or focuses light into a beam intense enough to melt high-grade armor, SWINDLE will sell it to anyone. Anyone who can pay his price, that is. Most of his inventory, he scavanges from those who fall in battle, but he doesn't mind helping a crippled AUTOBOT all the way to the scrap heap before stripping him of his weapons.

Galactic Powers & Abilities:

- Expert haggler and negotiator.
- Skilled at weapon modification and invention.
- Gyro missile disrupts enemy sensors and balance.

Transformers Toy News

The US HasbroToyShop has been updated with several Transformers Animated and Transformers Universe features, profiles and images.

Bumper Battlers Night Watch Optimus Prime

If he has to fight OPTIMUS PRIME prefers to do it out in the open, and to keep it fair. He's wise enough to know that the DECEPTICONS don't feel the same way, so he uses his special night mode that lets him sneak up on the bad guys without being seen.

Gear up for on-the-go fun with this stealth truck vehicle! Press the robot down for vehicle mode or press the bumper and watch the robot pop right up! With fun electronic battle and speech sounds, this quick-conversion AUTOBOT leader is ready to roll out

Bumper Battlers Sting Racer Bumblebee

Racing into danger at top speed, BUMBLEBEE blasts electric stingers at every bad guy he sees. He may be the smallest member of the AUTOBOT crew, but he's also the fastest, and his stingers pack enough punch to put down almost any bad guy!

Gear up for on-the-go fun with this streetcar racer vehicle! Press the robot down for vehicle mode or press the bumper and watch the robot pop right up! With fun electronic battle and speech sounds, this quick-conversion AUTOBOT character is ready to roll out!

Swindle

SWINDLE is a one-robot black market. He's only a DECEPTICON by default, since they're the ones who most often take advantage of his unbeatable deals on armor, weapons and combat systems. If it shoots, explodes, or focuses light into a beam intense enough to melt high-grade armor, SWINDLE will sell it to anyone. Anyone who can pay his price, that is. Most of his inventory, he scavenges from those who fall in battle, but he doesn't mind helping a crippled AUTOBOT all the way to the scrap heap before stripping him of his weapons.

Universe Legends Beachcomber

Team up with the AUTOBOT alliance and take on DECEPTICON forces! This quick conversion figure is ready for action and prepared for whatever adventure is in store! Battle even the mightiest opponents in robot mode and then convert the figure to dune buggy vehicle mode and roll out!

Meanwhile TFW2005 have received some stock images and informatin of two other Transformers Animated toys.

Skywarp

Name: Skywarp
Faction: Decepticons
Function: Fearful Super Pilot
Motto: They're heading right for us! Run!

Bio: Fearful Super Pilot
SKYWARP wouldnt call himself a coward. He'd call himself smart. So what if he runs away from combat? Fighting is dangerous! All those missiles and lasers could really hurt someone! As a clone of STARSCREAM, he's got all the power in and skill of the leader of the DECEPTICON air forces, but none of the courage or ambition. He could easily be one of the most dangerous DECEPTICONS of all time, but since he screams and runs away the second a shot is fired, he's mostly just a joke.

Galactic Powers and Abilities:
- Gets shot in the back more than any other DECEPTICON
- Uses his teleportation ability to run away faster
- Even just seeing a picture of MEGATRON gives him nightmares

Shockwave / Longarm

Name: Shockwave
Faction: Decepticons
Motto: Secrets are the foundation of power.

Bio: SHOCKWAVE is the ultimate spy. Able to change his voice, energy signature, and even his appearance at will, he has spent years infiltrating the AUTOBOT power structure. Graduating near the top of the class from the AUTOBOT Academy, he moved through the ranks of the Elite Guard, eventually becoming head of the Intelligence Division. Not once did anyone suspect the bright, friendly AUTOBOT known as LONGARM of being a devious enemy spy.

* Expert code breaker and thief.
* Enjoys blackmailing AUTOBOTS in positions of power.
* Stole his AUTOBOT identity from old historical files.
