Definitely agree a 5 out of 5 figure. I’ve been transforming him back and forth cause it’s so easy which is kinda rare for FT. I really appreciate the time you take showing any possible issues during the transformation, it’s a HUGE help. FT gets a lot of slack and rightfully so for not getting the combiners out or Blitzwing but figures like this are why I get their figures. No one else made a completely separate mold for Gears and Swerve and look at what a difference it makes. Really great review TM! I can not wait for Scourge!
It’s kinda funny the aren’t afraid of copyright infringement with those Mysterion logos. You’d think HasTak would own that logo with the acquisition but who knows? Regarding the chrome, I love it on the thighs and the feet. I’m glad you put the toon pic up because he’s soooo plain with all the white in the cartoon. The chrome breakup is great! Thanks for another great review!
I don't get why the feet are chromed... thighs on the original toy are chromed but not the feet?? It feels unnecessary Edit: I don't mind the chromed thighs, but the feet bother me to no end, the chrome is gonna get scratched off
Havent started with season 3 minibots , including FT Outback and Pipes. Being C Tier characters, they dont resonate with me much compared to the earlier minibots. It looks pretty solid, might get this as I backtrack FTs. Very Machine Robo/ Gobots, wishing FT goes to that route too :)
I agree with you, I think this is a great offering from FT and the chrome is better than I thought it would be. I don't think this character ever had a spotlight episode, at least that I can remember, like Gears or Powerglide. Probably explains the lack of a nostalgic connection. Great review
If I got the finances to collect these third-party Transformers figures, this Swerve and alongside Magic Square MS-02EX Optimus Prime will be my first figures.
What color head are people using? I think I will go with the maroon color matching helmet even if it isn’t cartoon accurate. I’ll have to see once I get it in-hand.
Got my two FT Swerves today and transformed one. I’d give it a 4 out of 5. It’s a solid release, but it’s not nearly as well done as Gears/Variator. Issues- All the tires are still showing in bot mode, worse articulation, etc. I also had to shave the tab on the one leg to get it to lock in to the cab of the truck, it would not click into place otherwise. The sunroof fell out on one and they seem to only be attached via friction.
Only complaint I have about this figure is the feet. I wish it was white instead of chrome as it looks weird in alt mode with chromed feet. Other than that, I I can't wait to get my copy.

This lil guy grow on me that i cant stop admiring him.
I got mine today and I love him. The smiley face fits his comic personality.

Great review. Really appreciate all of the editing it took to get all of the face and head combination smoothly integrated.
Thanks, nobody ever notices that stuff 😂
Mine will be here in a few days from toy dojo 😊

Thanks Wiskey. I think you meant "flack" instead of "slack"? But hopefully It gets past that and finishes the combiners

Guess whaaat? It's actually accurate TO THE CARTOON MODEL SHEET
I think that larger crested helmet with the visor is the "toy" look
I love this figure. I think it looks great. I love the chrome addition for the upper thighs and feet. Good review man.

That chrome looks awesome! Fans Toys really nailed this. I didn't care for the chrome on Blaster, but it looks amazing here. Great review, Sony!
Chrome on Blaster?
I think he means the gold chrome chest
@@TMReviews ah got ya. Yeah, I’m glad they changed it

Ok so i came to check out this review since i shared it was on sale to the group. Now that i know how good it is im buying it right now.
Yep, great figure
Really glad FansToys doesn't cheap out the transformation (like how HasTak infamously does)

It doesnt come with IDW stuff. The alternate helm is the G1 toy I think.
Isn’t the “yelling” face for when Trypticon crushed him in the cartoon? That was my assumption anyway.
One of the few characters i do not remember from g1
I just tfsource mine. Now...... to complete the set, I need Warpath. Anybody have Warpath for a decent not scalper price 😒🤔
Only awkward is the shoulder area
The first figure that will require me to use rubber gloves to hold!
😂
Rather them.went for toon than toy but looks Awsome. Great Review ✨️😃
He's beautiful but enough to buy 2 , my badcube is good enough.
You could get rid of the old one.
@TMan978 nah I'm good
Good Lord... That was one of the easiest MP transformations I've ever done, and from Fanstoys no less. World's gone mad, I tell ya...
For sure

I wish the feet weren't silver. I think ill wait.
