I can imagine Tailgate playing live action Quidditch when he thinks thatthere isn't anybody^Cyclonus isn't watching.![]()
I've decided to repurpose Deluxe Generations Swerve as the Advanced Autobot Commando in the Gokiverse. They are the Autobot equivalent of Vehicons.

Different types of Commandos

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.

My TF Prime Vehicons. No two toys are the same.

*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.![]()
