First Cartoon Appearance:

1st Comic Appearance: None

Profile:  Swerve is the Autobot's absent minded professor.  Regardless of whether he is walking through the Ark or racing down the freeway at 60 miles per hour, Swerve's mind is elsewhere.  Whether it's the latest chemical/ mathimatical theories he had been debating with Perceptor or the previous skirmish with the Decepticons.  If the Autobots had drivers licenses, his would be revoked -he is a menace on the highways!  He doesn't pay attention to where he's going or the orders he's been given.  Swerve is easily distracted. 

Abilities: To assist with his chemical experiments and analysis, Swerve has sensors in his hands which can determine physical and chemical properties of metals.  In truck mode, he can reach speeds of 120 mph for a range of 120 miles.

Weaknesses:  For obvious reasons, Swerve's absent mindedness gets him into a lot of trouble,  freeway accidents and fender benders are not exactly rare occurrences.  Some days, the Decepticons are the least of his problems!  <On the left, Trypticon makes fast work of ole-Swerve!>

Other Appearances:  Swerve has not appeared in any other generations of the Transformers Universe.
