Swindle is a Decepticon character from the Transformers franchise, best known as a sly arms dealer, scavenger, and opportunist. He is typically portrayed as a member of the Combaticons, where his role is to supply weapons, gather intelligence, and profit from every conflict. More self-interested than loyal, Swindle often manipulates allies and enemies alike to maximize his own advantage. His clever, talkative personality makes him a recurring source of schemes, negotiation, and comic contrast within the Decepticon ranks.
