The '''Sweeps''' are a group of near-identical [[Decepticons]] in the [[Transformers]] franchise.

==History==
===Generation 1===
====Animated series====
The Sweeps-along with their commander [[Scourge (Transformers)|Scourge]] and his partner [[Cyclonus]]-were created by [[Unicron]] in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' from the broken forms of the [[Seekers (Transformers)|Seekers]] [[Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker]] and three of the [[Insecticons]]. Described as the "huntsmen" of Scourge-to whom they are virtually identical-the Sweeps served as part of [[Galvatron (Generation 1)|Galvatron]]'s personal attack force during the film in the hunt for the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Following the movie they would continue to serve as part of the Decepticon army, appearing in varying numbers and usually demonstrating little effectiveness in battle with the [[Autobots]].

====Dreamwave====
In the Transformers Dreamwave comics, the Sweeps are a massive legion created by Unicron to hunt down [[Cybertron]] so that Unicron can destroy his nemesis [[Primus (Transformers)|Primus]].

====Devil's Due====
The Sweeps appeared among the Decepticon forces in ''[[The Transformers vs. G.I. Joe]]''.

====Fun Publications====
Alternately designed Sweeps (modeled after their [[BotCon]] 2009 toys) appeared in a scene attacking the Autobot shuttle carrying [[Kup]], [[Rodimus Prime|Hot Rod]], and the [[Dinobots]] during the events of the movie.

Sweeps (in forklift form) were featured in the 2016 ''[[Ask Vector Prime]]'' story ''[[Echoes and Fragments]]'', set during the events of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. The manipulations of the evil [[Gong (GoBots)|Gong]] and [[Sideways (Transformers)|Sideways]] resulted in various GoBots, Rock Lords and Starriors swapping places with characters during the events of that film. These Sweeps were created from [[Crain Brain]] and [[Screw Head]] and led by [[Deadlift (Transformers)|Deadlift]], who was reformatted from [[Spoons (GoBots)|Spoons]]. <REF>{{cite comic|title=Ask Vector Prime|story=Echoes and Fragments|publisher=Fun Publications|date=February 10th, 2016|writer=Jim Sorenson}}</ref>
