SWINDLE! SWIIIIIIINDLE!
I think that's about all that needs to be said about this episode. Besides the fact that this Swindle actually does arms-dealing and wheeler-dealer things, unlike G1 Swindle. G1 Swindle's one on-screen attempt at that sort of thing led to him getting a bomb stuffed into his head.
Also, watching Swindle pull out his pack of weapons at the end was squee. "Don't you want to negotiate? ... Yeah, me neither."
I strongly suspect that whoever picks up Swindle from the police auction will be an agent of Megatron or Powell. Decepticons, at least, should not be one-episode wonder villains. Kind of ruins the cool-factor if they are.
Speaking of which, Soundwave needs to make a reprise.
Anyways. If I were Megatron, I wouldn't leave Swindle languishing. Even if he's failed in this instance, he's still generally really useful. After all, he took Slow-Mo's timepiece, and designed and built something to amplify and spread the effects. Clever, clever boy.
Also, Nanosec/Slow-Mo OTP! *squees and huggles them* Also, I loved the way Slow-Mo talked. Sometimes she was super-fast and zippy, sometimes she sloooooowed down, and it really fit with her powers. Plus, I loved her smoky voice. Yum!
Bumblebee was, as per usual, a dick in this episode. But yay, even Sari was getting tired of his dickishness.
Seriously. Ani Bumblebee makes G1 Slingshot look saintly. Or at least more mature. Which is just a crime, really.
