If that sticker is one that was applied, it would have to have been my cousin, since it was his in the first place. It would also have to have been back in the mid-80's, as that sticker has been on there as far back as I can remember. I don't remember it ever having those other arm pieces, though, so that also had to have happened way back then.
どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

This is what Swindle's toy looks like.

This thread is like a clusterfuck of misinformation about Transformers.

Well fuck, even I knew it wasn't Swindle. If anything it'd be Jipe (A Decepticon), but he was a different color than Brawn, even though it was the same mold.

Who the hell is Jipe?

Only two Transformers used that mold - Brawn and Outback.

See here. Since it's only from Brazil, and the color scheme that's also used by Brawn has no sticker at all, I highly doubt that it's what I've got.

That's a later Swindle. The one I have is a plain tan all over.

No, that's the original Swindle. Tan all over would be one of the later ones.

Jeez, do you guys know anything about Transformers?

Actually, my eyes were really bad on that one. That's the Swindle I have, just the decals have peeled off and I lost the accessories, which makes it look a bit different. The later Bruticus models I recall (and have a couple of) were multi-colored (Blast-Off was white and purple, Vortex was blue and black, Onslaught was a hideous orange and something else).
