Sweep Two

Sweep Two is a Decepticon from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Angry!

Sweep Two is one of the Sweeps, huntsmen of Scourge created by Unicron from parts of dead Decepticons. Sweep Two is the close combat specialist of the Sweeps, enforcing Scourge's will with his knowledge of Cybertronian martial arts rather than his ranged weaponry. He has enormous discipline, and indeed helps Scourge keep the other Sweeps in line.

I want to tell you about the Transformers! This character article is a stub and is missing information on their fictional appearances. You can help Transformers Wiki by expanding it. Need to identify which episode Kitagawa-voiced Sweep is in

Wings Universe

Cyclonus, Scourge, and a swarm of Sweeps attacked an Autobot shuttle carrying Kup, Hot Rod and the Dinobots. After losing track of them for a few, the hunters finally found their prey and boarded the shuttle. Unfortunately for the Sweeps, they had interrupted the story Kup was telling the Dinobots to keep them entertained in the downtime. The Dinobots were not amused, and proceeded to violently dismember the Sweeps. Wings of Honor

Legends comic

Sweep No. 2 was a gloomy fellow, having a low opinion of himself. LG-26 Scourge Prologue He and the other Sweeps were caught up in Scorponok's black hole explosion that caused their bodies to shrink, forcing them to become Headmasters. The affected Decepticons travelled to the Legends World, where they teamed up with Tera-Kura Co. Headmaster Chapter Prologue The Sweeps became part of the company's official hierarchy, working under Scourge, Bonus Edition Vol. 22 and participated in an introductory lineup for Galvatron, where No.2 was said to have the voice of Astrotrain. LG-26 Scourge Prologue Despite being relegated to janitorial duties, the Sweeps got new transtector bodies after striking a deal with Terrorsaur to kidnap Alpha Trion for him. When Scourge powered himself up using Trion, the Sweeps grew jealous and swarmed his transtector in an attempt to get a piece of the cake, but this backfired when the transtector overloaded and exploded. The Sweeps then returned to being janitors, now supervised by a freed Trion. Bonus Edition Vol. 26

As part of Weirdwolf's rogue Decepticon faction, Sweep No. 2 helped rebuild Trypticon and fight Nightbird's clones during a battle to steal Metroplex's transformation cog. Decepticon Civil War The Sweeps later found Blowpipe and tried to use his cloning ability to create a Sharkticon army, but were arrested by Hot Rod and Shaoshao Li after the army turned on them. Bonus Edition Vol. 44

Toys

Timelines

Sweep Two is the one in the middle.

• Sweeps (multipack, 2009)
  • Accessories: Six wings/blades (left and right), three yellow Planet X-style Cyber Keys

• Known designers: Joe Moore (concept artist)^[1]

Sweeps Two, Six, and Seven came in an exclusive three-pack at BotCon 2009, all three being identical redecos of the Timelines Scourge toy available at the same convention. The mold is a retool of Cybertron Sideways with a new head, transforming into a teal and white alien spacefighter with yellow detailing. The Sweeps are armed with "battle shields" with Cyber Key-activated pop-out blades. Their wings can also detach from their ankles and be used as blades, with both pegging into their hands, either with one blade in each hand, or with both blades pegging into the top and bottom of a single hand, forming a double-bladed weapon. They come with three yellow Planet X-style Cyber Keys with teal deco.

The Sweeps were later repurposed as Shattered Glass Scourge. The original version of this mold was also used for the Japanese DVD-exclusive Noisemaze Mass Production Type Version and Universe Ratbat.

Legends

• Sharktron & Sweeps (Sharkticon) (Basic set, 2017)
  • ID Number: LG44
  • Release date: September 30 2017

Legends "Sweeps" is a redeco/retool of Titans Return Titan Master Fracas, with a new up-swept mustache face. As a Headmaster, the Sweep can transform into a head compatible with Scourge or any other Deluxe-or-larger Titans Return-style figure, though it is intended for use with LG26 Scourge's transtector, to which it is almost color-matched, though the white plastic isn't exactly the same tone. The head-mounted blaster thingy is designed to pop up for head mode, and retract into a marginally less embarrassing position for robot mode.

The Sweep was bundled with Sharktron, a redeco of Titans Return Gnaw.
