Am I Going To Make An Autobot!swindle Alt Mode Soon? Fuck No Thats Too Hard - Tumblr Posts

HEAR YEE HEAR YEE ITS SWINDLE HEADCANON TIME EVERYBODY

anyway decided to do the impossible today and made an autobot!swindle design :D back in the good ol' days when swindle's head actually looked proportional to his body

below the cut r some height comparisons, headcanons and some piss poor recolorings

yeah so swindle here had a major growth spurt, but it's mostly due to the fact of the myriad of mods he's installed onto himself for the past millenia. one assumes he did this in order to even the playing field with decepticons, seeing these bots r common clients of his.

and while that is partially true (swindle has had to fight many, many cons after they found out he scammed them) another reason for the mods is to intimidate fellow autobots. after this guy bailed on cybertron, he was a pretty wanted mech and swindle wanted to at least be armed to the teeth, should the elite guard come to send him to the stockade again

but other than the DRASTIC height change, there's other changes made, such as:

- his pupils used to be circles, now they're slits

- he doesn't have his bolo tie yet. he added this later in order to make him look more "professional"

- his original designation isn't swindle. he donned that name to himself. im still tossing ideas on WHAT his designation used to be but ideally, I want it to be something relating to that subspace of his

- he had his legs, forearms, torso, and and shoulder pads enlarged in order to make him look more taller and "imposing"

- doesn't own his fusion cannon and all the extra weapons yet. it's just him and his personal subspace against the world

and, my personal idea

- the gold and purple paintjob aren't his actual colors. swindle here got himself a fancy new electronic paint job shortly after defecting to the decepticons

below r some attempts at what his original paint job used to look like (spoiler! im most definitely going to be making more cause im not a huge fan on the one i made rn)

anyway. that's it. end of the post.

boy swindle changed a lot huh
