Swindle is a Decepticon with the role of Munitions Expert who is easy going but also greedy.  He is constantly “wheeling and dealing” (according to his Tech Spec) trying to gain more material possessions for himself.  Swindle transforms between his robot mode and his jeep mode and is one of the five Combaticons that combine to form Bruticus.  In the original Transformers cartoon series Swindle is designated as the right leg of Bruticus, but as a toy can be used as the left leg or as an arm. 

The Generation 1 Swindle was available individually in 1986 and was also available in the Bruticus gift set in Japan and Italy during the same year.
