PROFILE

NAME: SWINDLE
FUNCTION: SOCIOLOGIST & MUNITIONS EXPERT
Motto: "Make deals, not war".

PERSONALITY TRAITS
An easy-going, good-natured personality that hides an opportunist without peer.
Solely concerned with himself.
He could build a whole business empire out of his interests and skills, but he prefers the constant thrill and danger of an arm dealer's life.

FACTS
Thrives on wheeling and dealing. Seemingly is capable of procuring anything to fulfill the design and equipment needs of his armaments work.
Interested in the study of mass psychology and alien societies, as long as there's a profit to be made.
Skilled designer and builder of all sorts of weapons.
His "bank of favors and deals" is what keeps him protected in any social environment, from Ratbat's exclusive upper class to the Scraplet Slums of Kaon.

WEAPONS
A scatter blaster that shoots bursts of explosive buckshot-type pellets over a wide area.
A gyro-gun that disturbs the balance centers of cybernetic beings.

WEAKNESSES
Has a soft spot for wheeled alt modes, which make him prone to overturning.
His "bank of favors and deals" is also a potential threat for his activities. One weak link, one fatal spill, and all manners of government officers would land on the trail of his illegal business.


NOTES

Are the Combaticons a gestalt in this continuity as well? Check out the model sheet for War Within Bruticus, and see the prophecy of the Gestalt Battle in Wrath of the Ages #4.

See more War Within Combaticons:
- Onslaught
- Blast Off
- Brawl
- Vortex.

Continuity-wise speaking, the current version of Swindle will need to be reformatted if he is to become part of the Combaticons first, and the Bruticus Gestalt laster.
Here is the final design of WW Combiner Swindle.
