Sounds about right, I really hope they just put them out like they did the rest of the minibots and not space them out for the next 3 years. We can only hope! Best company to be making these little guys!
With the amount they're charging for those new ArielBots they should throw this one in for free. Oh! Wait it wouldn't be Free since essentially we of already paid for it!
4:04 When going into alt mode, the figure's right arm will *not* tab in fully, as there is too much paint on the tabs. It is very annoying as the other side is perfect.
Callous, Corn, or Bunyon would have been a more fitting name, Fans Toys. Seeing his debut role, was ending up at the bottom of Trypticon's foot! Diverge's paint scheme, makes this Swerve character actually look good! I don't know what I'll do with Slick. Possibly when you make your version of Trypticon, he can be under his foot I guess? Keep hammering these out! Papa needs a brand new Windy, Tail, Bee, Koz, and Wheek! 10 down, 5 more left to go! Fingers crossed for some October insight into Fans Toys Carbot action, that dips into TT/H territory too!
6:00 Mmmm I gotta say that [close] movement there isn't easy...at all. ...or I'm doing something wrong. He seems compact & conjoined in all the right ways. All that's left is a right angle turn at the hips into a merging set of tab-slots, but they don't fit. Perhaps I need to do some sanding, shrink those tabs a bit. Otherwise a great, easy transformation.
They didn't need to do as extreme of a transformation for Swerve as Gears because his onscreen appearance was much closer to the toy which makes sense because in the early days when the artists received images of the toys to animate they had a blurry image of Gears so they made a lot of guesses as to what the robot looked like. Swerve was second generation of the same transformer and they made it a lot closer to the toy appearance. The engineering to get this look was a lot easier than what they had to do with Gears (hide the wheels, push the backpack inward more, thinner arms and legs). Swerve's transformation didn't require all this extra engineering as a result. All this said, he looks awesome in both modes and getting there looks simple and that sounds good to me. I appreciate the extra heads, I like how Swerve looks in IDW a d these head options help with that. I would love to get his comic book gun.
Okay Fans Toys. You guys seriously need to revisit Powerglide, Cliffjumper and Jazz. Those figures were complete failures and this figure shows that you guys can do a lot better
Lol why they were all solid. Powerglide was the weakest but still leagues better than any other version including DX9. Jive was perfection and parkour was a rly strong release
@@Theratron Bumblebee/Cliffjumper/Hubcap have the most simple Transformation of all the Transformers not named Top Spin and Twin Twist. The fact that Cliffjumper came with a faux chest and introduced a new exploding type transformation is just downright lazy engineering. This coming from the same company that did the amazing engineering of Motormaster can't be forgiven. Jazz had that same "exploding" transformation plus the faux parts is equally inexcusable.
@@PSYCHOWORLD They were not solid none of those figures are perfection or strong. Even the biggest FT's shill in BSF never called those figures anything you just described them as. If FT's would have just dropped the goofy mini-bot gimmick for Powerglide then there would have been no need to do the mass shifting engineering and then maybe the lower legs and feet would not be so fiddly. I still can't collapse the knees all the way. This figure looks as if it's on stilts. Better than DX9....I think not.
BEST COMPANY TO EVER DO IT
man that glorious chrome, love it. i cant wait to get this one
Beautiful love the chrome!
So after this guy, we would need 5 more minibots to complete all 4 seasons… tailgate and windcharger, wheelie, bumblebee and Cosmos, right?
Sounds about right, I really hope they just put them out like they did the rest of the minibots and not space them out for the next 3 years. We can only hope! Best company to be making these little guys!
I hope next year we get windcharger and bee. Then the rest the following year
I think the 5 throttlebots from season 4 are considered minibots.
Yes, I really want a legit Goldbug.
Looking forward for a windcharger, cosmos, wheelie, and bumble bee
This also turned out great, and the transformation looks relative easy and fun again! Thanks guys! Greetings from Hungary
Wow. Super elegant.
Looks very impressive! Bravo.
Got a space all carved out in my display for 3! Finally a definitive mp Swerve.
perfection
Great job guys!

wow. I like fantoys now. they have great build quality. and there are 3rd party fantoys
Swerve, Outback, Pipes, and Tailgate. Nice
Did fans toys make a tailgate?
@@jasonbari5997 they will
@@jasonbari5997
Not yet. I'm sure he'll be sweet though. I also think I'd prefer him before a Windcharger too.
John Mulaney for MTMTE's Swerve.
Can’t wait for mine to arrive!
Nice...must buy.
Beautiful figure, and the transformation seems fluid from video. Dont like the chrome legs but thats personal. Minibots are coming really well
Hooray! 😊

Let’s go!
I’m rdy!!!! My shelf is waiting!!!! Hurry!!
And probably Hubcap

Wish gears had a tall cab like this alt mode has
😎✌🏾
I have no connection with the character so i pass on this still a great looking bot Fanstoys
Israel Moreno
im smoking crack and waiting on this
Shut up fans toys and take my wallet!
Naruto music?
Variator has such a cool transformation, but this guy's transformation couldn't be any more boring :(
Mixing up difficulty of transforming isn’t that bad of a thing. Most of the time they have some tough ones. I’ll take a easy one for this
You want them to Xtransbots the transformation? Totally over engineer it so there’s more opportunity for breakage
The fact that isn't just a retool of Gears makes me want it now.

@@ryanem49 Simple transformations don't have to be boring, his is

What was wrong with Cliffjumper and Jazz?
Jive is my figure of last year, Parkour a close second.
