I definitely would've gotten Red Swoop over Blue Swoop just for cohesive combiner color purposes, but too late.

I know there's no mention on the site but I wonder if these will come with Prime Masters.
Edit: Wait never mind, the Throne of Primes Primal PMs are exclusive to the set, so if anything it'd be clear versions of two shelf warmers.

If Red Swoop had gotten an original new name or character I'd be sold in an instant. As just a toy-based recollor... eh, maybe... if the look speaks to me.
-ZacWilliam, I might sell it to myself if I imagine Swoop was once a two-headed robo-pterosaur like movie Strafe and then was accidentally split by some weird McGuffin of the week Superman-style into Red Swoop and Blue Swoop... that would do it. I really need some fictional effort on Hasbros part to sell my things like this.
Heck, if it's toy based Swoop then you can still pretend he's a two headed robo-pterosaur.

Welp, hopefully these will be as plentiful as the Amazon exclusives because I need that Ricochet for Elita-1nfinite.
As for Red Swoop? Maybe pre-mutation Ravenus? But then again current Swoop is already in Ravenus colors so maybe this is Swoop and regular PotP Swoop is Ravenus?

But in the current, digitized world, trivial information is accumulating every second, preserved in all its triteness. Never fading, always accessible. Rumors about petty issues, misinterpretations, slander... All this junk data preserved in an unfiltered state, growing at an alarming rate. It will only slow down social progress, reduce the rate of evolution. You seem to think that our plan is one of censorship. What we propose to do is not to control content, but to create context.

Sweet. Now Elita and Inferno don't have to share limbs.
Elita, Firestar, Moonracer, Jazz and Ricochet
Inferno, Alpha Bravo, Rook, Wreck-Gar, and one of the Swoops.
Now just give me four more Decepticon limbs so Starscream and Cyclonus don't have to share.

So. Uhm. Can I hope that the Diver/Waverider shell comes out through similar means?
PLEASE!
-ZacWilliam, Ravenus makes sense for a Swoop rename, and Divebomb might be a fun option. It's not one hundred percent applicable but I'd also love "Ravenspar" to get reused.

A TFW2005 user brought up a tantalizing if unlikely idea: perhaps one day in a similar fashion Hasbro could end up releasing the Ironfist version of the Combiner Wars Rook mold.
Y'know for that matter, the unreleased Hoist, Demolishor, and Landfill toolings would also be nice.
Were there any sketches or pictures of these? I've seen the Demolishor one but I've never seen the toolings for Ironfist, Hoist and Landfill.
Hoist I KIND of know from the SG story but I don't know if it was a funpub head or an actual tooling.

Unlike his fellow Dinobots, Red Swoop does not find revelry in destruction or fighting. In fact he disdains those things and often only follows his brethren so that he can attempt to undo their chaos. Swooping over the red flames left in their wake, he unleashes his water tanks to douse the blaze. He then finds nearby lakes or other bodies of water to refill with a giant gulp of his beak-like mouth.
Red Swoop finds more suitable companionship with Inferno and his troop of rescuers, and has adopted the red from their color scheme as part of his own. While Grimlock japes and derides by saying it makes him look even more like a Dinobot, Red Swoop denies the assertion.
Acknowledging Red Swoop's dedication, Inferno on occasion invites him to form the position of left arm when the rescuers form their combined mode.

I do like the idea of a black/white/gold Jazz mold if that's what Ricochet is, as it would fit with my Starscream team (which at the moment is SG/Gold Starscreams for arms, 'Smokeout' Jazz as a leg, and I'm looking for another). Having the arms and legs of a combiner semi-match would be a new one for me.

I'm still wanting my Monster Pretenders / Dinoforce retools.
I would be extremely excited about Red Swoop were I going to buy a Swoop.
(Volcanicus, Randy, unless your Infernocus is extremely misshapen.)
Nah, I meant Infernocus. As much as I don't want to give one of them a Dinobot limb, now that there is an extra I will likely put one with them.

I think the closest shown was this:

Can't wait to evaluate the Boldness of Ricocheeet ('s barbeque sauce). Shame that there'll be no Targetmaster, though. Isn't "Targetmaster Jazz" literally Ricocheeet's only noteworthy trait?

I think the concept of being educated and being able to educate is something that more people need more of in their lives.
No, we don't all know everything but we should spread and share that what we do know.
If I'm consistently misspelling a word, I would want and expect people to correct me as should I imagine all decent people who know the value of good literacy.
Its just arrogant laziness to know you're spelling a word incorrectly and not correct yourself or ignore the advice when people do tell you how to spell a word correctly.

I love Ricochet and am glad to be getting him. (That was going to be a pretty involved custom).
But I JUST made a red Swoop (from the KO, sure, but...)
SO OKAY IT'S AVERAGE
Virtually every custom as good as the title suggests!
