We’ve added a new photoshoot to our Transformers toy galleries, and we’re showing off another of the Dinobots from Power of the Primes: Swoop!
Updated for a new generation, Swoop is a personal favorite of mine among the first releases in Power of the Primes Deluxe Wave 1. The dinosaur mode is boxy, but that is completely accurate to the look of the original design in Generation 1, and the design is chock full of molded in details. The robot mode is slender, which fits Swoop perfectly, and the figure takes a refreshingly different approach to the combiner feature compared to every other modern combiner figure. What really drew me to Swoop though was how utterly amazing he looks when mounted on a display stand in either mode – the combination of those wings, the molded in detail, and a decent amount of poseability, means Swoop just looks great on display.
Check out our gallery to see why we’re hyped for this Dinobot bombardier!

Swoop\'s bot mode is incredibly clean! Try as I might, I can\'t find a single piece of obtrusive kibble on him. I especially love how the combiner port integrates into his back so seamlessly. If I didn\'t know better, I\'d have just passed it off as mechanical detailing and moved on. In short, he\'s my favorite of the Dinobots so far! My only fault with him is the color scheme. A little more red would be nice, especially in the torso section, just to break up the overwhelming blue and grey.

Any recommendations on a cheap place to buy a few of those stands?

I wish they would make oversized KOs of the dinobots in voyager scale and axe the combiner gimmick.

Still the best of the PotP Dinobots, both modes look great and doesnt suffer from many of the issues the others suffer from.

Still have my fingers crossed, that someday they'll release a red one.

POTP Swoop dino-mode looks great on the figma stand. Highly recommended.

Except for the lack of articulation, I think G1 Swoop looks better in robot mode, but PotP Swoop looks better in dinosaur mode.

Swoop is a favourite of mine as well, I’m so glad he has a Blue chest! That’s what made him stand out for me as a kid.
mine must have some slight flash on his head ballpoint cause his head slightly tilts to one side, other than that though he is practically perfect, his mould brother Cutthroat will undoubtedly be as good!

I really like this one, he's a lot of fun and looks great on display.
