Pick-Up was integral in helping his brother Carry-On find his purpose and meaning in life as he continued to deal with bouts of depression.
Behind the Scenes
My version of Swerve who I (like many people) thought he should be coupled with his brother (in Transformers case it would be Gears.)
I made him the upbeat guy compared to his brother. This was was back before I even read the recent Transformers comics when they made Swerve the happy bar owner. I guess great minds think alike.
