Re: what car is the movie swindle??

To me it looks like a Chevy Cobalt which would make sense since the majority of the auto's used in the film seem to be GM cars/trucks. I already fixed my Swindle by painting the top of the grill black (as shown in the picture for his bio further leading me to believe he's a cobalt) and added a chevy symbol on the front and back. Back one was easy but the front I had to use a toothpick to fit it on that small bar.

Re: what car is the movie swindle??

i thought about the cobalt too. and i do want it to be a cobalt, but the rear end just look too different from a cobalt. Also, remember that only autobots are GM cars/trucks. Barricade the only decepticon car is a ford/saleen. and swindle is a decepticon.

Re: what car is the movie swindle??

Then he landed in front of the wrong dealership...besides doesn't say anywhere only autobots are GM vehicles. I to notice the back is off compared to the Cobalt but everything else looks too perfect for it to be anything else. after adding the big chev symbol on the back it has more of a Cobalt vibe, I'll post pics when I get a chance but it takes me forever to ever get around to doing that :P

I think he looks kind of ugly compare to the other Movie Figures in Alt mode, he may have a chance to be one of the shelve warmer.

Re: what car is the movie swindle??

That's because he was designed by the makers of the video game to be a drone without any kind of personality.

The rest of the movie line's pretty ugly too, but they've got personality in buckets.

Re: what car is the movie swindle??

He is none of the above. Swindle does not transform into a real car.

It looks like one car from the front and another from the back.
