swindle time now <3

swindle is OFFICIALLY a decepticon, but if the autobots have something to exchange, then he's not gonna back away from a deal.

he's definitely closer to unaffiliated and both sides know that, but the cons aren't about to say he's NOT one of them because it fluffs up their ranks a little bit and swindle is VERY valuable for gathering information when soundwave is otherwise busy or indisposed. besides, it gives him a place to stay, free energon, access to a medic, and peers who either turn a blind eye to or encourage his hobbies (swindling), so he's not about to actually go unaffiliated.

but these days, with megatron getting as impatient and unstable as he is, swindle knows his position is on the rocks and, though he'll never admit it, he's kinda. scared about that. he's getting a bit desperate, but he's hiding it well.

the thing though. is that you can't hide much from blurr.

see, during his wrecker days, blurr was often the negotiator because he used to be a celebrity. he's got a silver tongue and he's not a pushover, so he's very skilled at turning a deal towards their favor. so he's dealt with swindle before. he KNOWS swindle. he knew that swindle wasn't very attached to the decepticons, knew that swindle plays for both sides, knew swindle's tricks and plays like the back of his hand, because he's dealt with people like swindle before the war even started.

and frankly, swindle was kinda fascinated by this. he'd pegged blurr as just a pretty face, and was surprised (and a little annoyed) that he was far smarter than he let on.

so it was kind of inevitable that swindle would want to try and figure out what made blurr tick, and that blurr would be deeply amused by this, and that they'd end up meeting and talking off the record.

those few days that blurr disappeared after leaving the wreckers? he was talking to swindle. he was driving and he was talking to swindle. swindle was the one who gave him the idea to become a spy, because "you're fast, you're agile, and you're nosy as all hell. that's a dangerous combination."

so when swindle starts acting just a bit off and blurr immediately sniffs it out, it's kind of his own fault.

where things go from here? i have yet to decide. but maybe they kiss a little about it or somethin who knows. who said that.

a little, "Blurr crashes on earth During transformers prime", Au. with bonus swindle, because I think they have a very fun dynamic.

he and Arcee are siblings, she doesn't talk about him because she thought he died. SURPRISE!

Sloppy attempt at putting my favourite robots on the McDonald's Triangle. The ABC Warriors were probably the only ones easy to place.

Very quick warm up Doodle of @coyotemaximal designs for swindle x blurr (based on @madamadamiu cat au) . Big fan of all the transformers kitties but I’m so out of practice drawing cats lol so I will be drawing them as strange creature shapes next time I get the chance

I need y'all to hear me out on this but swinblurr scratches my brain in a way I can't describe

Idk man I just really like the idea of this dumb ass retired conman just absolutely crumbling under the loving stare of Zoom-Zoom Pretty Man™. The charmer got charmed and he doesn't know how to handle it LMFAO

Like- Swindle collapses over the bar after Blurr leaves asking some random guy if he did a good job hiding his down-badness (spoiler alert: he did a very good job. he's not a conman for nothing after all) but also Blurr is Very Intune to Swindle's charm and sees DIRECTLY through all his facades. He knows...

[chillingandtoxic]

what’s he need all that money for anyways?
