This Dinobot's kind, good-natured side disguised by his horrifying form... even his comrades shy away. Identifying Quote "Fear can hit targets unreachable to bullets." Powers/Tactics Flies at 250 mph...air-to-air missile launcher under each wing fires missiles equivalent of 5000 lbs TNT, 8 mile range. As robot, uses launchers and 4000#161# C thermal sword. Fragile wings vulnerable to enemy firepower. Appearance Swoop is a robotic pterodactyl. Writer's Notes Swoop's activation rolls on his defenses are lower than most Transformers' to represent his delicate wings, which are less resistant to damage than the glass/tire areas of a "typical" Transformer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Write-up copyright © 1996 by Tim Larson (spock@courtave.net); Permission granted to duplicate and transmit, as long as this note is not removed.
