ANIMATED SKYWARP

This figure is from 2009. He is a Decepticon and is one of the Starscream clones. He and the other clones came about when Starscream wanted to overthrow Megatron and kill him. He had made clones before but he made these from the The All Spark fragments embedded in his head. He built them as clones then he brought them to life. They all have different aspects of his personality. Thundercracker is an egomaniac, Sunstorm is a sucker (He sucks up to people) Ramjet is a liar and Slipstream is a girl( Not sure what this means about Starscream. Skywarp on the other hand is a coward.
Sky warp will not fight but is usually found huddled in a corner somewhere. He did end up being caught in a large bit of concrete along with Thundercracker and Blur. They crashed on Saturn when they went through the space bridge in the concrete.

MOTTO: "There heading right for us!, Run!"

ALTERNATE MODE: Futuristic harrier fighter jet

FUNCTION; Coward

BIO' SKYWARP wouldn't call himself a coward. He'd call himself smart. So what if he runs away from combat? Fighting is dangerous! All those missiles and lasers could really hurt someone! As a clone of STARSCREAM, he's got all the power in and skill of the leader of the DECEPTICON air forces, but none of the courage or ambition. He could easily be one of the most dangerous DECEPTICONS of all time, but since he screams and runs away the second a shot is fired, he's mostly just a joke.

Galactic Powers and Abilities:
- Gets shot in the back more than any other DECEPTICON
- Uses his teleportation ability to run away faster
- Even just seeing a picture of MEGATRON gives him nightmares

Robot mode

 

His jet mode has a very nice look to it. The wings are the wrong way for a futuristic space age look. I don't think it would get off the ground in real life. In the cockpit he has a little pilot seat. Unfortunately he does have a whole load of undercarriage kibble which you can see from all angles. From head on he looks OK though. He had flip down landing gear. His missile launchers can be cannons or folded away. He has spring launchers and they have a sharks face moulded on them for a nice touch.

The colours really suit him and he is the best looking seeker in his group. The black and the metallic purples really work in this mode.

He has wing flaps moulded and nice panel lines. You can see his hands from the back and his robot feet are his afterburners.

He has his insignias on both wings in gold.

 

The transformation is typical of all the early animated figures. They are all automoroph mad with these figures.

When you fold his shoulders down his head pops up. When his legs are folded down his nose cone retracts. There are springs in his wings.

The Auto morph get in the way in this mode unless you know what you are doing. It can be a pain to transform but I have had plenty of practise.

His robot mode is crazy for articulation. His legs are full of ratchet joints and you can get some good poses. His fingers are also individually articulated. His fingers however can drop off as with the legs. They all pop on again.

I have had his nose cone section come off which took my mother an hour to sort out.

 

His face on the prototype is supposed to have a scared face but unfortunately this did not happen with the final product when makes him look superior rather than a coward.

He has nice orange light piping on eyes and mouth.

You can flip his arm cannons back to store them or forward which makes panels come out as well. Not sure what these are for?

 

He is a really figure and I highly recommend him. I think he actually better than the Animated Starscream
