Look no further. Apparently Chevy is having a promotion and all you need to do is buy an Aveo and you get a really cool new and exclusive Transformers Autobot Swerve (new mold!!!) limited to only 2000 pieces.
We have two links for you. One is to AcToys showing all modes and a size comparison to deluxe movie Concept Bumblebee.
Autobot Swerve on AcToys
And the other is an auction...
Exclusive Autobot Swerve Auction
Let's hope there is a way to get this that does not involve shelling out tons of money. Or those of us who are Transformers completists will also be driving brand new Aveo's shortly.

No I'm not. Alternator completists be damned. First SDCC Nem Prime and Rodimus, and now this.
The size is quite small though, only about as big as a deluxe? And then there is Alternator Exc. Swerve, he's tiny... (zing!)

The directions say Alternator Swerve...

The instructions say "Autobot" Swerve and there is a Transformers Universe logo. I see no mention of Alternator anywhere.

And it looks like a retooled Swindle to me.

what's also worth noting is that (at my dealership, anyway) aveo buyers aren't generally the type to be into transformers toys. so you may be able to pick them up on ebay, or even see if a sales guy can hook you up with one.
the bad news is that i was planning on quitting soon. i might have to stick around to get one of these...

Somebody should change that in the first post to avoid confusion. I panicked there for a second thinking I was going to have to go through hell trying to compete my alternator set (as if I'm not already, having yet to get Rollbar, Camshaft, Rumble, Jaguar Ravage, & SDCC Rodimus still)....

wow all the alternators you listed are the ones that i started out with i am going back though to get the old subaru's and stuffNemesis Cyberplex wrote:This is not an alternator, as can be seen by the instructions for it....just another Universe Swerve. I'm assuming the only reason it's being called an alternator is because it turns into a real-life car??

Well you can feel better, as was stated, the directions do not appear to say Alternator anywhere, so perhaps it is not.

I did just think about one thing that kinda p*sses me off about it: untill now, I had every figure with the name Swerve,not that there's many (G1, Alt, Universe, Cybertron)....but now it's not complete...Megatron_Wolf wrote:tigertracks 24 wrote:Megatron_Wolf wrote:Im pissed and not pissed.

Okay, this is kindacrazy. I'm really hoping this guy will be available without the car, I like the way he loks and I'd pick him up as a deluxe. And now, he's NOT a remold of Swindle. He has a similar transformation, but this is the same thing that happpened with Energon Starscream and Cybertron Hardtop.

But tough if you're a die-hard collector wanting everything.
Posted by Dispensor on August 25th, 2007 @ 2:34pm CDT
However, I'm not old enough to buy a car. Even if I were, there's no way I'd buy one just for that.

Well, I can tell you that I do, and alot of the characteristics are the same. This is why I said Swindle retool, either that or they started with the Swindle design in mind.

And it's NOT a retool of swindle. There's almost nothing in common. Legs are completely different, arms are completely different, chest, stomach, head all different.

Why is that important? Well, because that may mean that he is going to be a part of the UNIVERSE line (aka CLASSICS 2.0) next fall.
We can only hope.
