Do you plan to get any more to flesh out your troops? They look pretty cool and are generic enough to make good commandos.Originally Posted by GoktimusPrime
I've decided to repurpose Deluxe Generations Swerve as the Advanced Autobot Commando in the Gokiverse. They are the Autobot equivalent of Vehicons.

No for 3 reasons:
1/ Swerve isn't really meant to be a generic troop, even though he does certainly look generic enough.
2/ Even if he were, I'm not a believer in army building by buying multiples of the exact same toy. It feels like "cheating" to me. I'd rather do it by getting variants. e.g. when I used to collect Star Wars, I bought lots of different kinds of Clone Troopers and a few different types of Stormtroopers. I never got two of the same toy. With Transformers Prime, I've collected different types of Vehicons, but again, no doubles.*
3/ Deluxe Swerve was never available in Australia. Even if he were, it's not a toy that I would personally pay for. I got this toy for free.So if anyone would like to donate more Deluxe Swerves to me, then sure, I might consider army building... but otherwise no.

*There have only been 3 times when I've ever bought a duplicate toy to army build:
+ In 1989/90 I bought another G1 Cyclonus for $2. He became my "Armada." I've since traded/sold off that second Cyclonus about 15 years ago.
+ Generations Scourge; I bought a 2nd one, and even then, only after I saw them peg-warming for a very long time. But I only have 2 of them, so it's not quite an 'army.'
+ TF Prime Legion Class Vehicon; it was on sale, and those things were plentiful and cheap. Again, I only have 2.

I have yet to get myself a Generations Scourge and I'm on the fence about getting more than 1, as I have the feeling that money could be used better to get other toys I've missed, such as Kup, Red Alert (though I might wait for a possible Asian Exclusive 3 pack with the Lambos in cartoon accurate schemes) or Drift. I could get the United version and get 3 Generations versions as Sweeps. That would be cooler, but United toys are hella expensive.No for 3 reasons:
