Swoop - Pre-Earth Style

Some more of the old stuff (I am producing new work - it's just all for certain group projects and I thought it would be kinda impolite to give it a general airing before they'd used it themselves )

Back when 'The War Within' first started I saw Don's impressive Grimlock (although I'm not a fan of those teeth!) and felt inspired to redesign his buddies since they hadn't appeared. One of the early UK comic stories first gave Swoop's pre-Dinobot name as Divebomb which led to some quick additional writing when a Decepticon character with the same name appeared in the toyline. It turned out that the Decepticon had beaten Swoop in a fight once and adopted his name as a trophy. Swoop had travelled into Decepticon territoy for a rematch and had to be rescued by the leader he hated - Optimus Prime - adding to his humiliation and leading to a long running feud with the new Divebomb.
