{{disambig3|Cannon}}

The '''Fusion Cannon''' is [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s ultimate weapon. It is attached to his right arm and is devastatingly powerful, as demonstrated by its sudden removal of [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s head. (It's at least as powerful as [[Media:Fortmaxgiveshead.jpg|Fortress Maximus' hands]], then.)

Presumably, this cannon is powered by some sort of <strike>nukular</strike> nuclear fusion reaction. Sometimes Megatron has been able to link up extradimensionally to a black hole to augment this power, increasing it astronomically, and
making him look real cool and [[Ripped Up Space|space-rippy]] in the process. Most bodacious!

[[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had a big cannon, too, but it didn't work by fusion.

Barricade (Movie)

{{disambig3|Barricade}}

:''Barricade is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieBarricade_render1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"I'm ''always'' Bad Cop. And don't bother asking for the good cop. I killed him."]]

'''Barricade''' is apparently a complicated robot. He's considered "fractious" even by Decepticon standards, yet is willing to give [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] the benefit of the doubt and follow where he leads, at least for the time being. Though not totally dedicated to the service of the Decepticon's current leader, he is much more cautious and reserved about expressing mutinous dissent than say [[Blackout (Movie)|''most'']]. In many ways this makes him Starscream's closest ally in the naturally combative Decepticon ranks. Then again, it's been said that he likes to trick people into trusting him, just so he can see their reactions when they find out just how much of a bad idea it was.

==Fiction==

===''Prime Directives'' prequel comic===

===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel===
Barricade acts as pilot and chief science officer for the [[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]. Through this he apparently possesses an impressive "mastery of physics", being very intelligent. He spent most of his time rubbing everyone the wrong way and loving every minute of it.

===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Jess Harnell]] (English)

{{spoiler}}

After being active on Earth for some time, Barricade arrived to pick up [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] after the smaller Decepticon's attempt to hack into and sabotage the United States military network. Using data Frenzy had acquired, the two learned of [[Sector Seven]], "Project Iceman", and the discoverer of the entombed [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Archibald Witwicky]], the duo were able to use the Internet to learn of both Archibald's descendants, [[Sam Witwicky|Sam]], and a pair of glasses that had been marked with the location of the long-lost [[All Spark]].

[[Image:BarricadeVsSam.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Barricade negotiates an alternative to PayPal.]]

Later, Barricade confronted Sam regarding his recent eBay auctions while the human was fleeing [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], whom the human mistakenly believed was out to harm him. Sam fell for Barricade's ruse, and requested the "officer's" help, only for Barricade to turn on him and violently demand information on Sam's glasses. Sam and his friend Mikaela, who had been drawn into the encounter, managed to escape him when Bumblebee convinced Sam to trust him, and Barricade pursued both the Autobot and two humans to a junkyard. He engaged Bumblebee in battle, dispatching Frenzy to chase down the humans. However, his battle with Bumblebee ended with Barricade heavily damaged.

Evidently, though, he recovered, and was back to working order when Frenzy (who had survived and infiltrated Sector Seven) transmitted both Megatron and the Allspark's location to his fellow Decepticons. When the humans fled with the Allspark, Barricade joined in the pursuit along with [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]]. Sam recognized him, and warned that they were in danger.

Bonecrusher went on the offensive, and Barricade's final fate was left unclear.

::''('''Note:''' For whatever reason, Barricade's disappearance is puzzling. He was obviously meant to be destroyed, as the comic adaptation of the movie depicts his destruction. Whether Barricade survived, and will thus return in a sequel, or simply had his defeat happen off-screen - presumably by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], who had both destroyed Bonecrusher and was delayed in joining the humans and fellow Autobots, thus making him the most likely individual to have fought him - is left uncertain. Although, in the scene where the remains of the Decepticons are being dumped into the ocean, a police car door can be seen on the deck of the boat.)''

:''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-02'''

[[Image:Movie_DeluxeBarricade_toy.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The secret love child of [[Blackjack]] and [[Stakeout]].]]

:Barricade transforms into an accurate Saleen S281 Ford Mustang Custom Police Pursuit Cruiser. As with MOST deluxe-class cars in the ''Movie'' line, he features clear windows for his windshield and doors, but oddly his rear window is opaque black plastic. Stored inside the engine bay, behind the car's ram bar is a mini-figure [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] disguised as Barricade's grill.

: In robot mode, Barricade quite faithfully reproduces the CGI design, though his chest cannot deform to the same extent. He features a reasonable amount of articulation with ball joints for his shoulders and upper legs, ratcheting and swivels for his elbows and double-jointed knees. Barricade has no neck joint as the two car hood halves slot into place between the bottom of the head and the plate on which it sits. Barricade does not have any [[Automorph]]ing [[gimmick]] to speak of; in its place is a spring-loaded extending "punching" attack on his left arm.

: ''As with almost all Tranformers toys issued over the last few years, a few of his transformation quirks are undocumented; in robot mode front wheel panels on his shoulders are ball-jointed, allowing one to position them in a manner similiar to what is seen in the movie renders. Additionally the sections that become his claws (apart from the thumb hinge) can swing up slightly to make themselves more pronounced, and spikes on the top of his feet can be swing up.''

* '''Barricade''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2007)

:A much smaller version of the character, Legends Barricade features limited articulation and detail. In what could only be defined as an anomaly of physics, compared to the other Movie Legends, Barricade is quite close in appearance and transformation to the larger deluxe figure. Legends Barricade's instructions also overlook the fact that his grill can flip down to fill out his torso and raise his chest higher.

*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe Multi-pack, 2007)

[[Image:Bumblebee_Barricade_deluxeboxset.jpg|right|thumb|130px|Mullethead vs. Cop]]

: This battle pack contains the deluxe-class Barricade and the 1974 Camaro deluxe-class [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

Skywarp (G1)

2007-07-09T10:01:43Z

125.239.168.38: /* Generation 1 cartoon */

{{disambig3|Skywarp}}
:''Skywarp is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Skywarp1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Skywarp, Decepticon Stair-Pusher-Downer]]

Teleportation is a dangerous tool in the hands of a capable adversary. Thankfully for the [[Autobot]]s, '''Skywarp''' is the Decepticon who possesses that ability. Skywarp's not so bright, so without supervision he's worthless as a warrior. He mostly uses his teleportation power for immature pranks on both friend and foe. He takes a charmingly puerile angle at thuggery, so his pranks are well-received amongst his Decepticon peers (excepting the victim, of course).

Because, come on, a surprise push down a staircase is hilarious.

===Marvel Comics continuity===
''(Note: Events from the UK comics are marked in italics.)''
[[Image:Skywarpthundercrackerintroduction.jpg|left|thumb|200px|You can tell Skywarp apart from Thundercracker in the Marvel Comics by, uh.... let us get back to you on that.]]
Skywarp was one of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron's]] troops who attacked the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] during its mission to clear a path for [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] through an asteroid field. He was deactivated when it crashed on [[Earth]], and he lay dormant for four million years. When he and his fellow Decepticons awoke, Skywarp was given a new [[altmode]], that of an Earth jet. {{storylink|The Transformers (comic issue)}} He aided the Decepticons in their building of their new base constructed of parts from [[Harrison Nuclear Power Plant]] and joined in their attack on [[Sparkplug Witwicky]]'s auto repair shop. After the successful abduction of Sparkplug Witwicky, Skywarp, [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] defended their base from [[Autobot]]s, though [[Gears]] and [[Spider-Man]] were able to sneak through and rescue Sparkplug. {{storylink|Prisoner of War!}}

''When Starscream fired upon his teammate [[Ravage]] for eavesdropping on his plot to overthrow Megatron, Skywarp and the other Decepticons sought deadly revenge on the Decepticon Air Commander. {{storylink|The Enemy Within!, part 2}} Though Starscream escaped, the Decepticons soon regrouped to attack the Ark, but their battle was ended prematurely when [[Auntie]], the Ark's computer system, magnetized the walls, immobilizing both factions. {{storylink|Raiders of the Lost Ark}} Skywarp also traveled with the Decepticons to the [[United Kingdom]], where he and his teammates attempted to learn about a mysterious Autobot rescue ship buried under a castle. An initial attack on the Autobots left Skywarp seriously wounded by a bomb from [[Bluestreak]]. {{storylink|Man of Iron: Part 3}}

Though Sparkplug Witwicky was able to devise a way for the Decepticons to convert Earth fuel into a usable substance, he also poisoned the result, so Skywarp and his fellow Decepticons were immobilized at the climax of their would-be final battle with the Autobots. {{storylink|The Last Stand}} The Decepticon [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] took command of the Decepticons and the Ark shortly thereafter, and nursed Skywarp and his comrades back to full health. Skywarp may have helped Shockwave attempt to capture and brainwash [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] into a Decepticon, or it may have been Thundercracker without red stripes. It's hard to tell. {{storylink|Plight of the Bumblebee!}}
[[Image:Skywarpgoofyteleportation.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Try a summersault! (Left on C-Stick and Down).]]
He served the Decepticon cause up until he was deactivated while battling [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] and placed in prison stasis at Autobot headquarters.

''When [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] traveled back from the year 2006 to build a super weapon to destroy [[Unicron]], Skywarp was a key player in the defeat of the mad Decepticon. Sorta.''

''The Autobots took Skywarp out of stasis, painted him to look like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and sent him stumbling toward Galvatron with a tape-recorder of Starscream's voice on his back. Galvatron, still sore about Starscream tossing him out of [[Astrotrain]] during his Megatron days, shot and presumably killed Skywarp. Galvatron then realized that if he killed Starscream in the past then there's no way he could have killed Starscream in the future. Believing he was in an alternate past and thus nothing he did there would effect his personal timeline, Galvatron hurried back to his proper time. Way to take one for the team, Skywarp. {{storylink|Target 2006}}''

During a massive battle between the Autobots and Decepticons on Earth's moon, Skywarp and the other Decepticons held in stasis aboard the Ark were liberated by the [[Constructicon]]s and subsequently brought back on-line. {{storylink|Totalled!}} During the first Decepticon Civil War, Skywarp battled with [[Ratbat]]'s Decepticons against [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s Decepticons. Skywarp surprised [[Bugly]] with his teleportation powers and blasted him, temporarily stunning him. However, Bugly successfully returned fire, striking where he guessed Skywarp would next teleport. {{storylink|Cold War!}} Skywarp was repaired in time to face an [[Underbase]]-powered Starscream in [[Tokyo]], but both he and Thundercracker were destroyed by their former flying partner. {{storylink|Dark Star!}}

===Generation 2===
The Autobots and the Decepticons had just agreed to make an alliance against the [[Cybertronian Empire]], but the Decepticons disagreed about aiding other planets' people. When the Autobots went alone to fight the Cybertronians, they almost were defeated, until Skywarp (yes, this article is about him) suddenly appeared, followed by the rest of the Decepticon army, to aid the Autobots.

===Generation 1 cartoon===
:''Voice Actor:'' [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Masashi Ebara]] (Japan)

[[Image:Tetrajet seekers.jpg|thumb|Cybertron alt-mode (left). The early Decepticons promoted geometry. ]]

Skywarp was one of the elite Decepticons that accompanied Megatron in infiltrating the ''[[Ark]]'' four million years ago. After crash-landing on Earth, the Decepticons and [[Autobots]] laid dormant for four million years, until volcanic activity stirred them into consciousness. Skywarp was the first of the Ark's Transformers to be reformatted and awakened by [[Teletraan-1]]. Now an F-15 fighter jet, Skywarp next dragged [[Megatron]]'s body into the reformatting rays of the Ark's computer.

Since the Decepticons were so badly short-staffed during their early days on Earth, Skywarp was usually involved in whatever crazy plot for universal domination Megatron was hatching. This included attacks on an off-shore oil rig, [[Sherman Dam]] and the [[Ruby Crystal Mines of Burma|ruby crystal mines of Burma]]. When the Decepticons escaped the Burma operation with a cache of energon cubes, Skywarp requested permission from Megatron to teleport in order to scare off Autobot pursuers. Teleporting behind the strangely-airborne duo of [[Ironhide]] and [[Bluestreak]], Skywarp pasted the ornery old Autobot with a heat-seeking missile, knocking him out of the sky that he probably shouldn't have been able to fly around in.

Skywarp continued to serve the Decepticons for many more years, never really doing anything notable. He was first to fall victim to an invention developed by [[Wheeljack]] that allowed Teletraan-1 to briefly take control of his body. [[Chip Chase]], a human ally of the Autobots, planted the device on Skywarp's ankle in the thick of battle. Skywarp's teleportation power did come in use when he was needed to sneak up on the Autobots (who were all in vehicle mode) and zap them with the [[transfixatron]].

In 2005, Skywarp was badly injured during the battle of [[Autobot City]]. Though he escaped with the rest of his comrades aboard [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], he was tossed out into space with other badly damaged Decepticons part way to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] so that the rest would be able to make it home. Skywarp's body was gathered by [[Unicron]] and, among others, used to make [[Galvatron]]'s new warriors. Skywarp arguably became either [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] or the identical lone [[Armada (G1)|"Armada"]] warrior who was never seen again.

===''Universe: The Wreckers''===

[[Image:Wreckersskywarpcyclonus.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Looks like [[Cyclonus (G1)#Who is Cyclonus?|Cyclonus was Bombshell]]. Neener neener.]]

After the Decepticons lost the Great War, and [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon]]s claimed [[Cybertron (planet)|the planet]], [[Megatron (BW)|another Megatron]] subjugated nearly every Transformer alive with a transformation-lock virus and an army of [[Vehicon]]s. Skywarp was one of the handful of Transformers who had slipped through Megatron's fingers, and eventually he and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] joined up with the legendary strike team, the [[Wreckers]]. Given a mission by the [[Vector Sigma|Oracle]], the Wreckers fought through an army of Vehicons to steal an Autobot shuttle in order to get off-planet. {{storylink|Departure}}

''(Note: Though no reason is stated in-story as to how or why or when Skywarp got this new body between the Great War and the [[Beast Era]], ''Wreckers'' plotter [[Glen Hallit]] noted that Skywarp's body was based on a mass-production bodytype of its day, similar to ''Generation 1''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Seeker]]s.)''

{{-}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

Skywarp was one of several Decepticon invaders onboard the ''[[Ark]]'' when it crashed into [[Earth]] four million years ago while the Autobot ship was clearing an asteroid in the path of Cybertron.

In 2002, he was one of several Transformers who survived the disasterous launch of the sabotaged ''Ark II'', and was later captured and reprogrammed by arms dealer [[Lazarus|Adam 'Lazarus' Rook]], who intended to rent out the services of the enslaved robots to various terrorist groups. After Megatron reactivated himself, he freed his Decepticon subordinates in order to put forward his plans to infect Earth with a metallic virus of doom. To pass the time while this happened, Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp busied themselves by tearing apart the Autobot Minicar team. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 3}}

Skywarp later participated in Megatron's attack on San Francisco, where he followed Starscream's orders to maintain formation and drop cluster bombs on the Autobot giant [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], forcing the [[Aerialbot]]s to split into their seperatate component robots. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 4}}

Skywarp presumably stood watch over the defeated Autobots while Megatron tried to persuade [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to help the Decepticons conquer Earth. After some human firefighters distracted the Decepticons long enough for Optimus Prime to free the Autobots, Skywarp was presumably beaten up and escaped when Superion sacrificed himself to stop a nuclear missile launched by rogue US General [[Robert Hallo]].

'''Note:''' ''Skywarp appeared sporadically in this mini-series, but was not shown again after issue 4, for whatever reason. Naturally he reappears in the subsequent mini-series and on-going the Generation 1 title.'' {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 6}}

===IDW comics continuity===

Skywarp is part of a Decepticon infiltration unit that has operated covertly on Earth for at least four years, working to destabilize Earth's governing organizations and create global anarchy.<ref>[[Infiltration, Part 3]]</ref> His alternate form is an [[wikipedia:F-22 Raptor|F-22 Raptor]] fighter jet.

[[Starscream_(G1)|Starscream]] assigned him and [[Blitzwing]] to destroy all traces of the [[Nebraska]] operation, but, after demolishing the abandoned Nebraska command bunker, he is severely damaged by Megatron who, unfortunately for Skywarp had been inside at the time. <ref>[[Infiltration, Part 5]]</ref> This Megatron is apparently not one to hold grudges and he soon has Skywarp repaired and functioning again, under the understanding that there will be no further second chances.<ref>[[Escalation, Part 1]]</ref>

It would appear that Skywarp has the ability to teleport others in addition to himself in this continuity, as he and Astrotrain appear to both fly out of one of his warps during a battle.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Skywarp''' (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985/2001/2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''23'''

[[Image:Redeco.jpg|left|thumb|Skywarp is the redeco on the left. He's mostly black... not that this was a cheap or lazy decision.]]

: ''(Note: For some reason, the stats on Skywarp's, Starscream's and Thundercracker's tech specs were switched around. Skywarp was given Starscream's numbers, which explains his high intelligence and rank.)''

: The only 1984 [[Seeker]] with a deco not used previously in [[Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' line, Skywarp transforms into an [[wikipedia:F-15 Eagle|F-15 Eagle]] fighter jet, sharing his mold with his teammates [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]]. Many parts need to be removed completely for transformation from robot to jet and back, which nowadays is considered a major drawback of the toy. It is rare to find it complete, as neither mode can hold all the pieces required. There are a few minor mold variations of this toy (common for the first two years of ''Transformers'', really), the most immediately noticeable being that early versions did not have visible "clip-tabs" on the inner face of the gauntlets.

: In 2001, Skywarp was given a short-run reissue by Takara as a convention-[[exclusive]] item, bundled together with Thundercracker as "[[Collector's Edition]]" Set C. The toy would later be more extensively released in 2003 as part of [[Hasbro]]'s [[Commemorative Series]] series IV, though due to US [[for safety reasons|toy-safety regulations]], his missiles were made extra-long.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] and retooled to make [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]].

{{-}}

===Machine Wars===
* '''Skywarp''' (Basic, 1997)
[[Image:MWSkywarp.jpg|right|thumb|150px|After his near-fatal encounter with the Invert Colors function.]]

: Sharing a mold once again with Thundercracker, Skywarp transforms into a white [[wikipedia:Rafale|Dassault Rafale]] fighter jet with spring-loaded one-step transformation from jet to robot. The two halves of his rifle store in his lower legs. Like all ''Machine Wars'' toys, Skywarp was an [[exclusive]] to Kay-Bee stores and related stores like Toy Liquidators.

: This mold is also used by ''[[Beast Wars II]]'' [[Dirge (BWII)|Dirge]], ''[[Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Skyfire (RID)|Skyfire]], and ''[[Robot Masters]]'' [[Wing Stun]]''.

===Universe===
* '''Skywarp''' (Deluxe, 2003)
[[Image:UniverseSkywarp_toy.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Like [[Mirage (BM)|Mirage]] except he can fly.]]

:''[[Universe]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of ''[[Beast Machines]]'' [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] in his G1 colors. He transforms into a Cybertronic fighter jet, armed with two projectile launchers that can fire orange energon bolts.

: His [[Spark]] crystal has a Decepticon sigil tampographed on top of it.

{{-}}
===Smallest Transformers===
* '''Skywarp''' (2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF X-1'''

: [[Smallest Transforming Transformers|Smallest Transformers]] Skywarp was a very small-scale simplification of the original G1 Seeker toy, retaining most of its functionality and accessories, except for his long null-rays. Skywarp was one of two [[chase figure]]s from the first wave of the line.

: This mold was redecoed from Starscream, then re-redecoed into Thundercracker, and finally retooled to make Thrust.

===Robot Masters===
* '''Skywarp & Thundercracker''' (Multi-pack, 2005)
[[Image:RMSkywarp_toy.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Now with the proper articulation for down-stair-pushing.]]

: ''[[Robot Masters]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] from the same series, a smaller yet more advanced version of the original toy, adding more articulation and reducing the amount of [[part-forming]] required. He was available only in a two-pack with Thundercracker, which also came with a Decepticon sigil pin and chromed missile pods. This set was the very last product released in the ''Robot Masters'' line, and wasn't even strictly sold in a box from that series; instead, it used an [[e-Hobby]] ''Generation 1'' reissue box, with a small ''Robot Masters'' sticker in the corner tab noting its origin from the front.

{{-}}

===Classics===
* '''Ultra Magnus vs Skywarp: Battle For Autobot City''' (Multi-pack, 2006)
[[Image:Classics_Skywarp_toy.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Skywarp only wears the finest Decepticon fingerless-gloves.]]

: ''[[Classics_(2006)|Classics]]'' Skywarp is a slight retool of the ''Classics'' Starscream mold, transforming into an [[wikipedia:F-15 Eagle|F-15 Eagle]] fighter jet, though with a canopy like that of an [[wikipedia:F-14 Tomcat|F-14 Tomcat]]. He comes with a pair of spring-loaded missile launchers that can be mounted on his biceps or used as hand-held weapons in robot mode and attach under his wings in vehicle mode. As with most ''Classics'' toys, he also features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

: Skywarp was retooled from the earlier Starscream figures. The retool is present in the jet intake area. The slope of his shoulders was decreased from Starscream, and a rectangle added to the vertical area, making the number now five instead of four. This retooled version was used for the Classics [[Ramjet(G1)|Ramjet]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], and [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]]. At the end of Classics Starscream's production run he too used this version of the mold.

: He was only available as part of a Target stores [[exclusive]] two-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. The set's price was $19.99, despite including both a Voyager-class and Deluxe-class mold in it, which for regular separate releases would be approximately $30 worth of toys. He was also available in Woolworth stores throughout the United Kingdom.

===Masterpiece===
* '''MP-06 Masterpiece Skywarp''' (2007)
: ''[[Masterpiece]]'' Skywarp was announced in April 2007, to be released in Japan in September of the same year. A redeco of the Masterpiece Starscream mold in black, gray, silver, and purple, though the purple and silver will be more minimal than usual. He will be able to switch between a minimally retooled stoic face and a new snarly face, retooled from Starscream's previous smirk.
{{-}}

===Attacktix===
*'''Skywarp'''

==Merchandise==
===Heroes of Cybertron===
:The ''Heroes of Cybertron'' PVC figurine line is an adaptation by Hasbro of Takara's own ''Super Collection Figure'' line. The main differences between the two lines is that Hasbro cast Autobot and Decepticon figures in clear blue or clear red PVC respectively, then completely painted the figurines. This allowed the eyes to 'glow' when placed in front of the light source.

* '''Skywarp'' (2002)
: Recolor of the Japanese SCF Skywarp figure. Non-transforming, true to the animation model. Distinctive from the Japanese release with its glossy paint, "light-up" eyes, and slightly different paint details. The Japanese version was a ''Lucky Draw'' figure limited to 200 pieces, it was one of the two prizes, the other being a mostly clear reissue Starscream (not to be confused with Ghost Starscream reissue) from the original run of the ''Transformers: Generations'' book.

* '''Skywarp''' (2003)

: Above, but part of a six-pack of figures which also included Starscream, Thundercracker, and three Clones from the [[OTFCC 2003]] convention set. It featured a more metallic paint job from the normal release and slightly different paint details.

===Legends of Cybertron===

* '''Skywarp''' (2004)

: A recolor of Mega ''Super Figure Collection'' G1 Starscream (minus the extra coronation accessories, open palm fists, and the hand weilding Megatron in gun mode), Skywarp was to be among the first of fan club exclusives offered by ''OTFCC'' as well as the first in their Legends of Cybertron line. The figure was delayed, and never saw a full release due to ''3H Enterprises'' loosing the license to run the offical Transformers fan club. At least a couple sample versions were produced.

===Robot Heroes===

* '''Skywarp''' (2006)

: Skywarp is one of the five exculsive figures in Wal-Mart's "Decepticon Sneak Attack" set. He's a black and purple redeco of Starscream, yes. His left hand's for pushing you down stairs, his right fist's for pumping the air in victory. Sweet, sweet stair-based victory.

==Trivia==
[[Image:LiveActionJazz-Skywarp01.jpg|right|thumb|200px|I bet he spiked the punch.]]

* A commercial for Transformers reflective iron-on patches advertised the "Prizes in Disguise" competition. When the iron-on patch was used, it was possible to instead find an instant win ticket for a Transformers voice changer (of the [[Enemy]] variety) - or to have a party with "life size" Transformers! Among the "life size" Transformers shown were [[Jazz]] and Skywarp. In all likeliness, you did not party with them.

[[Image:Skywarpatron.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Skywarp really DID need close supervision.]]

* In a possible fit of madness, a triple changer was proposed that would switch between Skywarp (possibly mistaken for Starscream), [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and Skywarp's jet mode.

* Character bios written by unknown persons for the Austrailian (Madman) DVD release of [[Transformers: The Movie]] definitely claim that Skywarp became Cyclonus. Basically nobody considers that weighty "evidence".
