It's cool, but sad that they're making movie character toys even though they won't make an appearance in the first film.

I was just over at BWTF.com and you can see some scans from the prequel comic there that have Swindle and Arcee in it. They are in pre-earth bodies, but you can cearly tell that it's Swindle off of the mug shot on the toy packaging.

Someone on Allspark thinks it's a Chevy Cobalt Coupe..

Might be to early to say yet though with such a small picture to base that from - but since Chevy is mixed up in the Hasbro Licensing and there's even a pontiac version.

I could only find an image of the 2007 version from behind but here's the 2007 version from the front and in the right color - remindes me a lot of Binaltech blue Prowl and a Couple of cars GM used to make via the Holden and Vauxhaul brands.

Swindle I notice looks very much like the robot seen in the latest screen shots of the videogame.

Pehaps we can expect the robot mode to look a bit like this.

I think Swindle also may be something that can be seen as a template for a generi-bot character sort of like some of the Vehicons were.

Swindle and Arcee and some others are probably exclusive to the toys and/or games.
I know the drones are from the games.

And to Mighty.Maximal: the robots on the screens as far as i know turn into forklifts.
Also,where did you get those screens? they're not on www.transformersgame.com .
