Skywarp looks like he's ready for the short bus to pick him up and take him to the "special" class as school.

I hope that BBTS puts orange caps on the ends of his missles/null ray so that the police don't get it confused with a real missle or null ray and shoot me.

Looks like crap. Needs more purple (damnit Takara stop with the pink!) and his secondary face is...Uh yeah. Odd.

i agree with face #2 needing work but this has me excited as Skywarp is my #2 favourite.

I do however like his coloring..I am disappointed that they went with another pilot figure.. i was hoping they would trash the whole pilot and give him a Megatron Pistol.. that would be better, and they could show the image where he's holding Megatron from the show credits, and episdoe 3..

Still he's a big improvement color scheme wise over Starscream.. But I do believe with the remolded head sculpts, they should have done a little better on the accessory, namely removing the stupid pilot thing, and substituting the Megatron pistol..

I do hope the wing markings are done correctly, something tells me though that he's not set in stone and that there may be some changes between now and final production.. i hope its a rework of the second face.. it needs refining..

I'd rather not have anymore Megatron pistols. I only remember seeing Skywarp use Megatron in gun mode only 1 or 2 times so it isn't like that is a unique accessory that we'd expect to see with him.

Besides, for whatever reason, Takara and Hasbro felt it was necessary to include a Megatron pistol with every version of Optimus Prime whether it be MP-01, MP-04, 20th Anniversary or DVD Prime. The funny thing is I never remember Prime ever holding a Megatron pistol. Maybe this will lead to other inappropriate accessories with future Masterpieces. At the rate they are going, I expect to see Thundercracker with coronation gear.

id hate to say it, but skywarp looks really ugly.

News Credits: 337 · by **Air Commander Starscream** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 8:03 am

Cool I can't wait to get him and the rest of the seekers as they come out. Starscream's mold is really cool and it does look good in black. But I agree with everyone that the face needs some tweaking, its just not right.

News Credits: 2 · by **Basketball Jones** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 8:03 am

The first face is worthwhile- it carries an expression highly suitable for a dimwitted goon such as Skywarp.

I really wouldn't be concerned about the other one, although it is a bit odd.

News Credits: 1 · by **Ninja Sixshot** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 8:14 am

the all black jet mode is really plain.

by **gothsaurus** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 8:21 am

Who cares about the strange second face OR his lack of stickers. I'll display his normal head, get some reprolabel stickers and count him as the best looking masterpiece/alternator/kiss-play release to date. BEAUTIFUL.

News Credits: 1014 · by **First Gen** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 8:48 am

Like the majority, I agree, the face molds blow big time.

If he's gonna be all black, might as well put the purple markings. Being a US Marine, I can tell you, I've never seen an all black fighter jet, let alone a grey and dark pink one.

But at least Sky was the same type of TF as SS. That Ultra Mag MP is just friggin ridiculous.

by **OptimusIsHot** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 9:03 am

Talk about Dr. Skywarp and Mr. Hyde lol! It seemed like a piece of oil cake to get this mold right, instead they found another way to mess it up. Here's to hoping they do Thundercracker well and give him normal faces instead of him taking a dump or giving the "O Face" or something?

News Credits: 1082 · by **Tigertrack** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 9:04 am

Should I change the title to 'Constipated MP-Skywarp pics'? : )

Or maybe, 'Gnashing Skywarp Teeth Face' at BBTS?

News Credits: 32 · by **UltraPrimal** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 9:14 am

Why can't they just have a somewhat happy face and a somewhat angry face? The first 1 is sad, and the 2nd is just crazy!

News Credits: 2 · by **Kronos** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 9:15 am

I think to correct the second face, all they really need to do is tweak the eyes...make them look a bit more angry. They look more like he's squeezing one off...

Face 2: "Crap, this is a two-flusher!"

Then you have forgotten the episode where Prime and Megs team up to shoot some doomsday device into space. Megs turns into his gun mode, they load the device into the end of his barrel, Prime fires and sends the device flying away. Something like that.

Personally, the second face i could care less about. Whether it looks messed up or not. I'll display him with his normal face. I just don't understand why they made a Starscream figure and didn't use the cartoon color scheme. Im digging the colors on Skywarp way more then Screamer. I kinda wish they would of done thundercraker now, and skywarp after.

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 9:50 am

Lookin good. Must buy that Skywarp.
That one face...ok..it's a bit offputting isn't it?
I'll stick with the other face.

Much better paint apps.

Technically they already did Thundercracker, we just don't know it yet. I can easily see them painting the next Masterpiece in Starscream colors, include the coronation gear everyone has been crying about and then tells us, "Now you can rename your MP-03 'Thundercracker'!"

by **Retardicon** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 10:10 am

I think the problem with the alt face isn't his mouth, but his eyes.

If he had a little furrowing of the brow, he would look like a real killer.

by **Starscreams bad comedy** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 10:16 am

Both of the faces sucks. At least they could have given him the typical "evil scwol".

News Credits: 23 · by **Prime Evil** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 10:17 am

Man, I'm hoping that those faces get tweeked a little bit more. It is still early enough to make the changes I think. Still, gotta get me this bot!! Now all we need is an Anime Accurate Starscream!! Cause honestly, MP-03 is TC to me.

It has already been stated that Skywarp will come with a
new sticker sheet. Also remember Skywarp was stated to
be a prankster, the new face (while odd) depicts this trait
pretty well.

by **Xion** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 10:50 am

It' damn unfair, TakaraTomy looks Skywarp, Skywarplike but can't bring also Starscream LOOKS like Starscream, TAKARA you starting to suck !!!!!! :-x

by **Gutter Bunny** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 10:53 am

ugly second head or not...this is a must have in my book, but i always thought skywarp was the best looking of the seekers so i may be a little biased.
