Swoop is an Autobot from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Me Swoop not sure how me Swoop's square fingers work.

Swoop might be simple minded, but when it comes to blasting Decepticons to tiny bits from the air, his lack of intelligence doesn't seem to hinder him at all. He tends to be the first to strike, scattering Decepticons and keeping them panicked while his partner Grimlock sneaks up on them. Then Swoop joins in on the ground, tearing into their opponents with claws and teeth, either separately, or combined into the brutal Mega-Dinobot.

Grimlock & Swoop (Mega Class, 2005)

Known designers: Marcelo Matere (packaging artist)

Released in the fourth wave of Energon Mega Class toys, Swoop transforms into the usual robotic pterosaur, albeit this time with a much bigger pair of grasping claw-legs. He can also form the lower body of the combined robot Mega-Dinobot with his pack-in partner Grimlock.

This set was originally intended to be released in the Universe line, as their original Generation 1 incarnations. However, a variety of factors shuffled the set into Energon and thus new character pages on this wiki. This set was not "mech-designed" or engineered by Takara employees, a rarity for normal-series Transformers toys.
