Okay, so Swerve actually uses his Powerizer plastic, rather than painting over it.

Breakdown's either got paint on his belly or it's dark enough that you can't tell that it's translucent. I'm not sure if I can even tell which on mine, short of figuring out where I put my flashlight.-------------------- |

QUOTE(Chorgsopal @ Jul 23 2012, 02:52 AM) I have no idea what's going on with Swerve's face. Is it just me, or does the entire head look like that alternate Ratchet head we saw in the instructions? Just with glasses.

These are neat. Swerve's head definitely looks like a Prime version of the G1 characters head.
I like the Microns on both. Airachnid seems to have a bit more detail due to stickers than her Hasbro counterpart (I could be completely wrong though as I don't have her - I'm just seeing that yellow on her knees and thinking it's new). The loss of her stupid weapons in helicopter mode is greatly welcomed by the Micron. Randy --------------------  |

It just doesn't pull off spider as much as I would want it to. I hate to say it, but I think it's the first Decepticon Micron partner that I have absolutely no interest in. -------------------- |

I love the fangs in weapon mode, but it took a lot of staring at that picture for me to realize it was a spider.
I do hope some of these Microns are available outside of the figures as I've love most of the ones I have (I'm not a fan of Skywarp's ironically). Randy -------------------- |

Could this Ratchet remold be Hasbro's version of Swerve, since we still have no info on even a single release of the Breakdown mold? |

even this can't salvage airachnid for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-screamer.gif) ... swerve looks okay, but nah, the generations one will be fine.

... Does Swerve's Micron have a BLACK Energon Crystal?
Dammit, I'm still waiting for TakaraTomy to tell us what "type" the yellow and orange ones are from the Gacha Microns, and now they're gonna chuck another new color at us? Sheesh.

Doubt them. Question them. Suspect them. Group: Citizen Posts: 40,896 Joined: 10-October 03 From: England Member No.: 3,679 |
Swerve looks decent but not for the cost of importing him.
I would hope for a Fallback repaint of Breakdown after seeing the Cyberverse repaint. But thats not going to happen. Maybe we'll see Swerve as the third use of the Cyberverse Breakdown mold instead. |

Well, the wiki's got a chunk of them. But there's more to it involved in the Arms Up online game, and I've not been able to explore that.

His entire torso under the hood chest is translucent plastic. Neck socket, chest internals, abdomen. The only paint on this part is along his sides. His stomach is unpainted.
