Takara/Hasbro Transformers Generations/Legends, Bumblebee, Tailgate and Swerve.

TAILGATE, BUMBLEBEE AND SWERVE.



 Alt mode of Bumblebee.






 I kind of like the rear design on the alt mode.

 With micron weapon on the roof.

Bumblebee
Following the resignation of Optimus Prime and his surrender to the human organization Skywatch, Bumblebee was elected to the position of Autobot commander despite not putting himself forward for the role. Ratchet posited his trustworthiness and dependability as factors in his being chosen.
Though at first there was jubilation at Bumblebee's rise to leadership, his diplomatic nature and desire to be nice to everybody eventually led to problems.

Small scale figure, only around 3.5" high.

 Close up on the face.

 This is how much it can do in posing.

 Helicopter micron, Blazemaster.

 Back, with propeller on its back.

 Transform into a huge cannon for Bumblebee.

 Propeller can attach on the back of Bumblebee and also on the wrist.

 Alt mode of Tailgate.

 I would rather prefer Tailgate's alt mode is a cybertronian vehicle than muscle car, it just won't fits Tailgate appearance.

But the muscle car design is not bad at all.


 With huge exhaust pipes coming out from the back, no kidding, I bet he can run hard.

 Top.

 Looks kind of silly with micron attach on him, like in an accident...

 But it is kind of cool when activate the micron.

Tailgate
was born in Rivets Field six million years ago, two weeks before the launch of the Ark-1. During this time, he lived in an era of peace alongside the likes of Nova Prime and Omega Supreme assigned the role of fourth-class sanitation 'bot, he was tasked with cleaning out the craft's coolant tubes before take-off, but ran late to the job and made the mistake of trying to make up the time by short-cutting across the fragile Mitteous Plateau. The terrain collapsed out from under him, leaving him badly damaged and trapped underground, but he soon hit upon the plan of detonating the trailer-full of energon rations he had brought with him in hopes of blasting his way out. Unfortunately for him, he kept repeatedly passing out as he set this up, and with his chronometer damaged had no way of measuring the passage of time. He finally succeeded six million years later, and was dragged from his pit by a group of Autobots who were on their way to depart the planet on the starship Lost Light. Suffering a panic attack and passing out when he saw his explosion had damaged Whirl, the unconscious Tailgate was brought aboard the Lost Light by the Autobots, since he'd mentioned "the launch" and they had no idea who he was.

 Tailgate articulations.

Taller than Bumblebee.

Close up on the head.

Micron, Groundbuster.

Lie down to become a skid loader...

Some weird weapon he got, bomb disposal loader??

Swerve alt mode.

A small pick-up.

Not much interesting thing except the air intake under the door. Rear engine?

Quite a lots details beside doors.

Crooked wheel...

With micron weapon attached.

Alternative alt mode? Armored pick-up?

Swerve

was forged. For at least four million years, Swerve has wanted to swap his metallurgy career for bartending. Before the war, he was a huge fan of Blurr and when he was getting an autograph, Blurr mentioned he wanted to run a bar too after retiring from racing; Swerve thought Blurr might want to run it with him and the only way the racer could escape was to give Swerve a fake phone number. Forever after, Swerve would tell people that he and Blurr had a plan to run a bar after the war. During an early battle of the war, Swerve remained within Iacon's walls guarding the civilian population. Eventually he end up opening a bar on 'Lost Light'.

The joints on Swerve can't do much posing, and some of the limbs positions is not right, kind of hard to balance.

Microns, Flanker.

A very simple step to transform into a drone jet.

Transform into gatling gun for Swerve, in white color, maybe to replace the "MFB" blaster?

Head height is around 3.8 inches.

Alt mode line up.

THE LOST LIGHT CREWS.
 LOST LIGHT - Originally a vessel owned by a group of neutral Transformers, the Lost Light is now the starship utilized by Rodimus and about 230 other assorted Transformers on a quest to find the mythical Knights of Cybertron.

Starscream and Bumblebee was deciding the fate of Cybertron planet, they are in charge now...

Bumblebee is checking on Turmoil about what his purpose coming back to Cybertron.

Tailgate fumed at Cyclonus for misleading him, Cyclonus give him a backhand slap instead.

"Listen to me, NEVER HOPE, hope is a lie." Cyclonus seems very desperate on Tailgate's fate... (he is dying because cybercrosis disease)

Cyclonus using the sword to transfuse the energon to Tailgate, making him safe from dying in a period.

Eventually they became the BFF, more than BFF....

Swerve is bragging his stories before war.

A bartender on Lost Light. Well, he open it illegally... (now approved)

Classic bartender talk.
