  Swoop bike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swoop racing is a very popular sport in the Old Republic times (3,956 years before the Battle of Yavin), with simulcast hyperspace beacons instantly relaying results to countless worlds.
Taris was the hub of the swoop racing circuit, despite a number of gangs and nefarious individuals that attempt to influence outcomes through intimidation.
As a result, most swoop bikes are similar in size, differing mainly in the application of shielding and the monitoring of energy flow.

 OAFE - Clone Wars: Durge w/ Swoop Bike review
His swoop bike is a high-performance craft with exceptional speed and challenges even the most skilled pilots.
To accomodate the swoop bike, Durge moves at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, chest, hips and knees.
The swoop bike is a nice update of a vehicle that first showed up in Lucas's last big multi-media push, 1996's "Shadows of the Empire." 9 1/4" long, this green speedster has obviously seen some rough use: the paintjob is worn and there are a few bumps and dings on the chassis.

This makes both the swoop course and the acceleration pads appear larger, and for some reason, you can turn the swoop bike with much greater sensitivity than when playing at higher resolutions.
After spending a few hours on the swoop bikes, and after finally having beaten the third tier, I went to cash in on my winnings only to find out that you can hold a maximum of 99 per item in your inventory including race bonds.
Swoop upgrades are mentioned often by many different NPC's - other racers, mechanics, etc. You cannot upgrade your swoop bike.

Swoop bikes should be for the Tatooin and Beggar's canyon maps as they were widely used by civilians on that planet.
Although the swoop was seen in ep2, they were an OT vehicle and are a perfectly good and suited idea for the mod.
I dont have any problems with the swoop, as long as it would be a neutral vehicle without weaponry of all kind.

 Swoop - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A swoop was a repulsorlift vehicle similar to a speeder bike; in fact, it was in essence simply an overpowered speeder bike, "an engine with a seat." Swoops were often used by gangs.
The Swoop itself was capable of traveling at over 600 km per hour, and did have the ability to travel several hundered kilometers above a planet's surface, but generally kept a low altitude.
During the Jedi Civil War, the some of the earliest 'swoop bikes' could be found on Taris, from whence the sport of swoop racing spread in popularity.

 Star Wars Action Figure Reviews
The swoop bike has one feature (besides looking cool): it has a "kickstand" of sorts.
So you're either going to have an Anakin that can slash away at enemies while not controlling his swoop, or you have an Anakin that is controlling his swoop but is haphazardly slashing because of his loose elbow joint.
The swoop bike has plenty of dry-brushed paint apps on it to give it a somewhat used look.

Swoops are everywhere in the world of Star Wars.
Swoops were later used in other Star Wars stuff and finally, in Episode Two for the first time in a movie, when Anakin rides an older model of one across the desert.
The only things about the Swoop that I like are that it is usually portrayed as being red and that it can be used by civilians.

 Lancer Swoop Bike - Slider
The Lancer Swoop Bike is a vehicle in the Star Wars fictional universe.
These one-man swoop bikes were made specifically for Lancer Trooper squads, to carry them during their covert raids and jousting duels.
The front of the swoop was vaguely shaped like a horse´s head and the craft was painted white, like the Clone Trooper armor.

Anakin Skywalker's Swoop Bike is one of those vehicles that everybody knew was coming but nobody knew when.
While the original Speeder Bike had a springy set of "feet" to make it look like it's floating, and the 1996 Swoop had a way to elevate it up a little as well, this vehicle looks different in that it just seems to be a representation of the prop and not very toy-ish.
He was uniquely constructed to sit on the bike, and as such, he can look a little funky on his own.

Like most swoop bikes, it is reminiscent of a Harley Davidson motorcycle with its high handlebars and its angled outrigger.
This bike is a totally new sculpt and not a rehash or repaint or made from parts of other swoop bikes.
The swoop bike is well done, but if it had a paint wash to make it look more used and dirty it would probably look even better than it does already.

 Zephyr-G swoop - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
The Zephyr-G swoop was a swoop bike produced by Mobquet around thirty years before the Battle of Naboo.
The Mobquet Zephyr-G was a utilitarian repulsorlift swoop, able to seat a single rider, though a passenger could perch somewhat uncomfortably on the drive section.
The power generator was located at the rear of the bike, flanked by two cargo panniers capable of holding up to 100 kilograms of supplies.

 Caleb's Customs: Caleb Pike's LEGO customs in all their glory
The Swoop Bike is a civillian version of the Speeder Bike, the vehicle we see a lot of in Return of the Jedi.
Swoops are mainly featured in the EU (Expanded Universe) world of Star Wars, but in Attack of the Clones, Anakin Skywalker did use a swoop (Cleigg Lars's) to search for his mother.
This model was made by my brother Josh, who tried to model his swoop on the LEGO Imperial Speeder Bike (the second one they made), and he made it orange as we have a load of random orange pieces lying around, from an orange designer set, which we didn't know what to do with.

 OAFE - Clone Wars: Clone Trooper w/ Speeder Bike review
Small and swift, the speeder bikes provide the Clone Troopers with an excellent means of gaining information on the Separatist forces by approaching close to the opposing armies and retreating quickly with valuable intelligence.
The bike is 8 1/2" long and has the same basic design as every other Star Wars speeder toy: a tubular body, air foils jutting out the front and a pair of landing gear feet in the back.
The Clone Trooper and his speeder bike don't make quite as nice a toy as Durge and his swoop.

This bike is shipping along with the Dooku and his bike from Geonosia.

 Michael Crawford's Review of the Week
Durge w/ Swoop is bare bones paint ops that is typical for most Star Wars figures: clean paint ops but flat colors and no fine details.
The superb articulation allows Swoop Durge to ride the vehicle with a greater sense of ease compared to figures in the past.
But before I get too ahead of myself, here's what this Durge comes with: blaster rifle that fits into swoop, battle lance that snaps onto swoop, two blaster pistols that fit into holsters, a backback that plugs into his back, and the swoop vehicle which comes in two parts and snaps together in place.

 Jedi Council Forums - Plans for a Swoop Bike?
Swoops are non-military versions of speeder bikes but have the same basic idea.
If you really wanted to make a good looking swoop I'd say, see if you can get to a junkyard and find a rusted out old morocycle and use that as the body, and then use some pipe and add the stearing vanes to the front.
Also remember that in the Shadows book, Swoop bikes were usually assembled by the owners and could turn out in many different ways.

Although th swoop has moor speed and probably a little bit sturdier, i would go with the Speeder Bike first of all firepower, second of all most of the time ou won't use all of the swoops speed in battle.
Swoops are faster 600 kph as to a speeder bike 500 kph and swoops are cooler looking and the owner can constantly modify it.
It may not be quite as fast as a swoop (about 150 kph short), but not only is it armed, but it's much more maneuverable and easier to control.

If you decide to use the computer, you can also overload the swoop bike in the Garage where the entrance is. This will get rid of more than a few Black Vulkars for you.
The only way in is to repair the droid at area #2 and set it to ram these loading bay doors, or to access the garage computer at area #4 and "Disable all security doors." There's a powerful patrol droid inside that likes to use its flame thrower for massive damage, and its stun ray.
Once Gadon's taken care of, they'll sponsor you in the big Swoop Race, outfit your bike with the swoop accelerator, give you 500 additional credits and supposedly hand Bastila over to you after you win.

Both Durge and his bike are superb pieces and, unless you are just down on the whole Clone Wars thing in general, will make a great addition to your collection.
The figure is excellent and (unlike most other "biker" figures) looks as good off the bike as he does on it.

For maximum effectiveness, moisture farmers on Tatooine maintain a large number of vaporators spread over a large area.

 NEW Review: Deluxe Durge w/Swoop
$10 gets you a speederbike with tons of detail, a trident/lance weapon that attaches to the bike, 2 newly sculpted pistols, a sawed off blaster rifle, and a figure that's so heavily articulated he makes even the most articulated figures in the 1:18 scale look like they suddenly could do some improving for sure.
The "strap" thing on the rifle's nice too because it allows Durge to romp around with his rifle off his bike and not have to put it down to use the Trident.
The bike itself is excellently sculpted, with tons of dents and dings, and it includes a place to mount the trident for jousting Clones, as well as a sheath for the rifle accessory.

A jetpack attaches to his back armour, and a trident-lance can either be wielded manually, or locked into an attack position on either of the Swoop's front facing cannons.
