MP-06 Skywarp Pics at BBTS

Looks cool,
Liked MP StarScream, liking this more tho,
Definately on the 'need it' list

Cheers,
Doug

I hope they improve those face sculpts between now and September!

Whoa, he looks demented!

The one face makes him look like some creepy old car salesman.

A little pricier than I though. Nice pics though.

The bottom face looks pretty oofy to me.

That mold looks great in black! I wonder if there will be any purple markings on the wings?

Agreed that the second face looks a bit 'odd' - I'm not sure quite what it's representing?!

Better put my name down for one of these babies!

new face: skywarp passes a cantaloupe

That second face would make dogs whimper. Hope that's improved before the release.

So I'm not the only one that thinks that "buck toothed grin" Skywarp is a little... er, strange...

Either way, I never got Starscream since I've never really been a big fan of seekers, and if I had to pick I'd get something show accurate... Maybe I'll have to get this one.

I wasn't planning on getting this guy anyways, but that face is in no way inspiring me to change my mind...

He looks like Jason Vorhese ... somebody put a hocky mask on him.

Skids

like the rest of the guys...i just hpe that face ain't final

I doubt very much that that is the final face. There's no way they would release a toy that looks like that.

its never stopped them before

Don't give them ideas!

Haha, WTF? He looks so demented. Or should I say warped?

I was never a fan of this mold, with that Lego block of a head sculpt and the stupid hip kibble. I don't buy that idiot designer's excuse for the kibble. It should not have been there. Was MP Prime based accurately on a real truck cab?

Having said that, I'm torn on getting this. It's ugly in some ways, and awesome in others...

I don't realy like the snarling face, but otherwise this guy is pretty bad ass!

I just hope they don't put orange safty tips all over him.

Yeah I gotta say i have mixed thoughts on the snarl face, its not exactly very cool.. I mean its ok.. but it serems off in some ways..

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..

they won't put safety caps on him sinmce he's not an authentic looking weapon unlike Megatron

Got mine preordered already...

Until they make the mold bigger, I don't think I'll be interested in getting any of the seekers.

The gnashing face reminds me of Eek the cat.

I guess you won't be getting any of the seekers then, because they aren't making the molds bigger, unfortunately...and they aren't gonna reculpt the feet and remove the hip kibble, and they will include stupid pilots in all of their releases apparently..

i just think he looks like he's taking a shit real bad

Wow. I guess Thundercracker's gonna get a "punched in the face" face mold then. That looked terrible.

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'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.

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.

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.

the all black jet mode is really plain.

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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!

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.

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'!"

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.

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

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.

LOL, I can come up with a few "captions" for that grin....but most of them I cannot say on a PG13 board

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.

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

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.

Gutter Bunny wrote: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.

I have to agree, Skywarp always looked really great with the Black and Purple color scheme. Starscream will always be my favorite because he was my first Transformer, but Skywarp has always looked a cut above the other seekers.

Goofy face or no, I'm getting this one. Maybe JustiToys will release a new face, the "I'm so glad I found a public restroom because I drank a 64oz Super Big Gulp, and I have been driving non-stop for the last 4 hours look."
