== Megatron Origin? ==

Because I really don't feel like squinting at Milne art, I have to ask: where is Blot in ''Megatron Origin''? [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 07:42, 21 March 2012 (EDT)
:Issue 2, among the gladiators in the montage of Megatron's fights. Also seen with Hun-Grrr and some Predacons. Issue 4, during the uprising. He's shooting a gun with his robot arms while ripping bodies apart with his creature arms. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 10:24, 21 March 2012 (EDT)

== Power of the Primes ==

Can we really call the POTP figure a retool of Rippersnapper? At a glance some of the details look very similar, like the V shape above the pelvis and the way the shoulders attach to the torso. But closer inspection makes it look to me like the only parts they actually share are the combiner peg, knees, thighs, and crotch. It seems more like they might share the one sprue, and even then it might be that they just reused the same CAD model for those particular parts. Even the shoulder pieces, despite being the same size and fitting into the torso the same way, have different molded details. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] ([[User talk:King Starscream|talk]]) 04:15, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

“Despite being a retool of Rippersnapper, Blot thankfully did not inherit that toy's fragile combiner-peg-hole problem, as his is molded in much thicker plastic” - Where did this come from? I’ve checked my copies of both Rippersnapper and Blot, and the socket walls are the same thickness. Not to mention that both sockets are broken. --[[User:Oiler|Oiler]] ([[User talk:Oiler|talk]]) 21:01, 9 November 2024 (EDT)

- Ugh. Two years later and this is still here? I’m making a change. [[User:Oiler|Oiler]] ([[User talk:Oiler|talk]]) 22:43, 20 April 2026 (EDT)

{{disambigm|Blot (disambiguation)|Blight (disambiguation)}}
:''Blot is a [[Decepticon]] [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:G1Blot boxart.jpg|upright=2|thumb|Alright, I get the hint. Stop leaving scented bath soaps in my locker.]]
There's only one thing [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s both agree on with no war or argument, and it's this: '''Blot''' (alias '''Blight''') is the most vile and disgusting Transformer ever assembled. He oozes fluids of questionable nature from various joints on his frame, and has a rank odor that usually keeps foes and allies far away from him. Naturally, all this scorn and insult has given the less-than-smart Blot quite the inferiority complex. Stuck with a hygiene problem he can't control and a central processor a few hertz too slow, Blot is both unable to solve the problems of his own stench and talk back to the insulting comments from his peers. Brutish and slow-witted, Blot is the classic dumb bully to those who don't give him respect... although he's not sharp enough to tell when said respect is faked. He's immensely loyal to those who at the very least pretend he's worth something, and [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]] in particular is a Decepticon to whom he shows unwavering support.

The other [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], on the other hand, tolerate Blot enough, but are apprehensive about combining into [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] with him, as it takes far too long to remove the stench he's passed on to them after they're finished.<ref>Generation 1 Blot toy bio and Marvel ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|The Transformers Universe]]'' profile in [[Back from the Dead|''The Transformers'' #56]]</ref>

{{bigquote|I'm not as bad as I look—I'm worse.|Blot's [[bio]] quote sums him up accurately.}}

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
[[File:Blotcomic.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Look! It's my magic nose goblin! He loves making humans go squish!]]
Blot served [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with his fellow Terrorcons, until the disappearance of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], their greatest nemesis. After being alerted to the presence of Fortress Maximus and the Autobots on the distant planet [[Nebulos]], Blot and the Decepticons tracked down their quarry at the planet's capital city, [[Koraja]]. Unfortunately for the Decepticons, the newly minted Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] were more than tough enough to drive off the invaders. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} The Decepticons were only temporarily deterred, however, and continued their reign of terror on Nebulos. Scorponok sent Blot and the Terrorcons, along with the [[Horrorcon (G1)|Horrorcons]], to attack the resort city of [[Splendora]]. When the Autobots arrived to defend the city, the Terrorcons merged to form [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], but the united [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] became [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], who used a combination of acid pellets and brute force to disassemble the robot and drive off the Decepticons. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}} Blot and the Terrorcons also joined Scorponok in an attack on the [[Nursery (Nebulos)|Nursery]], where they encountered another new kind of Autobot/Nebulon fusion: [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]]. Blot held his own with the aid of his [[Slime gun|slimegun]], and the Autobots eventually realized that the battle was bringing ruin to the agricultural facility. They fled from Blot and the rest of the Decepticons to bring an end to the carnage. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

[[File:DarkStar-BlotTracks.jpg|thumb|Blot firmly believes the crotch is the funniest part of the body to acid-bathe.]]
The Decepticons eventually traveled to [[Earth]], and came into conflict with both Autobot and Decepticon alike. After a brief [[Decepticon Civil War]], the united forces of [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and Scorponok turned their rage on the Autobots under [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s command. Blot gleefully joined in the battle, blasting the veteran Autobot [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] with his acid spray. All parties eventually joined forces, however, against the [[Underbase]]-enhanced might of [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]]. The Terrorcons attempted to confront Starscream in [[Buenos Aires]], [[Argentina]], but were annihilated with a single wave of his hand. {{storylink|Dark Star}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
[[File:Blot headhunt.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.8|Death's Head then immediately regretted having direct physical contact with Blot.]]
[[File:Blot cutthroat time wars.jpg|thumb|upright=0.5]]
In [[2007]], Blot was sent to the freelance peacekeeping agent known as [[Death's Head (G1)|Death's Head]] as an emissary for the Decepticon army. Death's Head had sought a bounty against [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] months earlier, only to have the offerrer, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]], interfere with the collection and rescind the offer. Blot proposed the mechanoid use Decepticon resources to enter Cybertron undetected and track Rodimus Prime's predicted movements to get his revenge. Death's Head was unconvinced by this appeal to his sense of pride, so then Blot appealed to his wallet and instantly the mech was interested in the deal. {{storylink|Headhunt}}

Frothing at the mouth (and the neck, and the ankle joints, and...), Blot enjoyed terrorizing the human population on [[2009]] while on his way to the latest [[energon]] extraction site the Decepticons had rigged up. Unfortunately for them, [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and the Terrorcons proved incapable of fending off an Autobot strike team, who quickly destroyed their laboriously assembled drill. Seeking revenge, Blot and the others chased their foes back to [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], only to end up passing through a [[trans-time dimensional portal]] and getting caught up in fighting for the fate of the universe. It seems the former 21st century Decepticon leader Galvatron had been active in the 20th century for too long, causing a timestorm which threatened both ends of the timeline, at [[1989]] and 2009.

Soundwave ostensibly agreed to help their 20th century counterparts, but in reality kept Blot and the other Terrorcons in reserve, hoping the other various factions present would do the heavy lifting for them. In the end, Soundwave and the 2009 Terrorcons chose the better part of valor and fled back to their home time rather than face the fighting mad Galvatron. {{storylink|Time Wars}}
{{-}}

====''Classics''====
{{noteclassics}}
Hun-Grrr was framed by the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]]s as a traitor in the Decepticon ranks. When Bludgeon and the Seacons confronted him about it, the Terrorcon leader summoned Blot and the others to form Abominus and defend his name. Ultimately, though, Abominus fell in battle with [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]]. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

====''Regeneration One''====
{{NoteRG1}}
By [[2012]] Blot had been partially revived and pressed into service as part of [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s lobotomised [[zombie]] army. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 4}} When the [[Autobot]]s arrived from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to confront Megatron, Blot was shot down by [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 5}}

====''Transformers '84''====
Following the departure of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' from Cybertron, Blot fell in amongst Lord [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]'s troops and helped him carve out his own Decepticon empire by attempting to purge every surviving Autobot on the planet. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 3|Secrets & Lies #3}} When Straxus later planned to reactivate [[Project Dreadnought]], he sent [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] to defend the [[Planetary engine|planetary turbines]]' control hub in [[Stanix]], where the [[combiner]] encountered [[Punch (G1)|Punch]] and the [[Wreckers]]. After a blow from [[Rack'n'Ruin (G1)|Rack'n'Ruin]]'s [[Hammer (weapon)|hammer]] brought Abominus crashing down, Blot and the other Terrorcons separated to battle the Wreckers individually but the Autobots disengaged and retreated as the explosives they had already laid inside the base detonated. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 4|Secrets & Lies #4}}

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Tony St. James]] (English), [[Ken Yamaguchi]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:Money-is-everything-terrorcons-robotmode.jpg|right|thumb|Don't kick [[Cutthroat (G1)|Cutthroat]] in the head]]
Blot's first appearance was with his fellow Terrorcons inside [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s head. [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] used them to blast into Unicron so he could retrieve more [[anti-electron]]s for an attack against the Autobots. Blot and the others did a decent job in keeping the Autobots at bay, but were quickly forced into retreating when [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] finished building the Technobots and gave them the ability to merge into Computron. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[File:MoneyIsEverything CutthroatBlot.jpg|left|thumb|Unused animation from ''Fantasia''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "Dance of the Hours".]]
Later, the Terrorcons were seen under the service of the [[Quintesson]]s. [[Dirk Manus]] had sold the Quintessons a [[Recreator|Molecular Disassembler/Reassembler]]. Eager to test the device, they had Blot act as the volunteer. The test proved that the device not only disassembled and reassembled matter like the name implied, but also cured whatever it had been used on of all broken parts, maladies, and other flaws. Cured of his imperfections, Blot felt sick.

When Dirk and his Technobot escorts were on their way through space, Abominus swooped down and attacked, shooting them from the sky. The [[automatic timer]] in Abominus, placed within by the Quintessons, forced Abominus to separate into his Terrorcon components. The team was upset they couldn't finish the task of destroying the Autobots, though Blot and the team did get a second chance at going against Computron later. {{storylink|Money Is Everything (episode)|Money Is Everything}}

[[File:Terrorconfight.jpg|thumb|So a landfill, a glutton, and a sadist walk into a bar...]]
Blot was one of the [[Primitive]]s summoned to fight [[Tornedron]]. Blot joined the other Terrorcons in a last-ditch stand against the energy creature, but the group was surrounded and drained of their energy. They, like the rest of Tornedron's victims, were restored thanks to Grimlock's actions.
{{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

Blot, along with the rest of the Terrorcons, stole [[Impervious alloy|heat-resistant alloy]] from the [[Mark Morgan|Morgan]]/[[Gregory Swofford|Swofford]] lab. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

In [[2007]], Blot participated in an attack on [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in order to draw the Autobots' attention while [[Wingspan]] and [[Pounce]] stole the [[Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber|Key]] to the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]].{{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} He later took part in the battle on Cybertron, assaulting the Autobots' positions. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
In [[2011]], Blot and the Terrorcons journeyed to Cybertron over the long-abandoned Decepticon [[space bridge|Space Bridge]]. They were part of the first wave of Galvatron's siege, hoping to gain control of [[Vector Sigma]]. Blot's team combined into Abominus to battle [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Later on, Abominus teamed up with his fellow combiners to wage war on their Autobot counterparts. Their victory seemed assured until the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] swooped in and scattered the Decepticon combiners. They barely survived the encounter. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} On Earth, Blot and the Terrorcons intervened on [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]]'s search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] and the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] kept the Terrorcons busy so that Hot Rod could complete his mission. Even after the Terrorcons formed Abominus, the Headmasters stood against them, and the arrival of Computron swung the odds firmly on the Autobots' side. Abominus was last seen with his head buried in the sand, being kicked in the side by Computron. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

When Galvatron launched a [[Metamorphose|metal-warping meteorite]] at the Autobots on [[Athenia]], he brought along Blot and the Terrorcons to occupy the Autobot forces. Linking up as Abominus, they once again battled Computron and the Headmasters. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}

[[File:Hm14 Blot Gun.jpg|thumb|200px|Get out of my swamp!]]
[[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] devised a scheme to harvest [[plasma energy]] from the planet [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] by setting off a series of explosives that would utterly destroy the planet, releasing its stored energies. Blot and the Terrorcons were responsible for planting the bombs. Hun-Gurrr was spotted by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], and [[Shouki]] of the Trainbots, but the other Terrorcons managed to take them hostage. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} Blot and the Terrorcons managed to get two of the three sites set before being set upon by [[Raiden]] and the Headmasters. By forming Abominus, Blot's team held their own until Scorponok arrived with his mighty [[Transtector]], MegaZarak. The giant scorpion occupied the Autobots long enough for the Terrorcons to finish their work, and Mars was consumed by the resultant atomic inferno. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}

Soon after, Blot and the Terrorcons joined Sixshot the returning Galvatron on an energy raid. They sought to prevent the Autobots from re-energizing the distant world of [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]], and steal the energy for themselves. Blot's team formed Abominus for yet another in a series of battles against Computron. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

[[File:IRMLFE Decepticon cheer.jpg|thumb|200px|left]]
After an extended mission in space, Blot returned with Galvatron and the other Decepticons, setting up shop on Earth under Sixshot's command. He joined an enormous offensive against the Autobots' facility in [[Florida|Miami]], drawing out the troops from Autobot City so that Sixshot could kill [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. Body-slamming Computron as Abominus was just icing on the cake. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} The warfare on Earth continued, as Blot and the Terrorcons assembled as Abominus in part of a five-fold simultaneous strike on Autobot interests engineered by Sixshot. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} As Scorponok assumed control of the Decepticons again, Blot was seen at a rally being held in his honor on Chaar. Blot and the Terrorcons later joined a Decepticon strike on the [[Kamchatka Peninsula]], seeking to gain control of the [[Pacific Ring of Fire]]. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}}

As Scorponok abandoned Earth in favor of conquering [[Master (planet)|Master]], Blot was one of his many troops seen attacking the planet's fortifications. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}} As part of Abominus, Blot participated in the final battle with the Autobots at the North Pole. He escaped into space with the rest of Scorponok's Decepticons. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

=====''Zone'' cartoon, manga, and story pages=====
Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violengiguar]] gathered together the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]], upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Blot was one of those summoned, but only as a part of [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Fight!

=====''Generations Selects Special Comic''=====
[[File:Blot_Selects.jpg|thumb|170px|Blot's audition for the role of Purplesaurus Rex went poorly.]]
Blot and his colleagues were sent by the [[Quintesson]]s to help the humans in their conflict against the [[Selector]]s, [[Autobot]]s, and [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}} Due to Blot's newly acquired possession of [[Angolmois Energy]], he began leaking [[anti-electron]] gas from his body. The dim-witted Terrorcon used his [[slime gun]] to fire anti-electron imbued oil at [[Orthia]], forcing the all-female combiner to split up into her individual components. Blot was later seen having a wrestling match with fellow Terrorcon [[Cutthroat (G1)|Cutthroat]], and also participated in the counter-strike on [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] at [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]]'s command.

Blot expressed shock when Megatron absorbed his Angolmois Energy, but later received the upper hand when Hun-Gurrr received the [[Terrorbreaster]] deployed by his Quintesson masters, allowing the Terrorcons to combine into [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. However, Megatron evolved into Megatron Omega from his stockpiled Angolmois Energy and briefly attacked the brutish combiner. Abominus shot a hole in his former ally's chest and left him for dead, {{Storylink|Abominus comic 1}} but Megatron Omega ultimately survived the attack.

Blot was present as part of Abominus during his attack on [[Neo Scramble City]], and was temporarily left out of the combiner when Hun-Gurrr and [[Cutthroat (G1)|Cutthroat]] assimilated [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]'s limbs to become [[Abomenaticus]]. Blot later recombined with Hun-Gurrr upon Abomenaticus's reconfiguration into Abominus to fight Megatron Omega. Following Abominus's failure to defeat Megatron and alliance with [[Volcanicus (POTP)|Volcanicus]], the Terrorcons entered a portal with the Dinobot combiner {{Storylink|Abominus comic 2}} to the [[Blue Planet (GS)|Blue Planet]] and split up into their individual forms. Blot was present on the planet's surface when Hun-Gurrr assisted Volcanicus in his fight against [[Primacron]]. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}

====''The Great Transformer War''====
Blot and the Terrorcons were defeated in battle as Abominus by Computron. They switched tactics and split into their individual modes to spray Computron with "[[Cohesive Control Liquid]]", forcing him onto the Decepticon side. The Technobots were eventually freed when Spike Witwicky blasted them with a counter-spray. The now clear-minded Computron then proceeded to crush the individual Terrorcons. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 2|The Great Transformer War #2}}

===''Transformers in 3-D''===
The Terrorcons and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] intercepted [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s team during the search for [[Metascan Alpha]]. The Terrorcons united into Abominus, but the Autobots ignored them and continued with their mission. A short time later, Abominus came under attack from the [[Destructon]]s and was blasted apart. The Terrorcons began a retreat and found themselves being aided by Ultra Magnus, resulting in Cyclonus agreeing to a truce between the two factions. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|''[[Spotlight: Sixshot]]''}}

[[File:MegatronOrigin4 BlotFights.jpg|upright=0.95|thumb|right|Suspect is considered armed and extremely smelly.]]
Blot was one of the earlier warriors seen in the [[Gladiatorial combat|bloodsport tournaments]] on [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], part of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s team as the future [[Decepticon leader]] rose in prominence. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}} He remained part of the movement when the pit-fighting broke out into active terrorism, and was seen dismembering security officers with his extra arms just before [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] returned with his [[Apex Armor (G1)|Apex Armor]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}}

During [[Zeta Prime (G1)|Zeta Prime]]'s era, Blot frequented [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]'s bar and threw a glass at [[Jetfire (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jetfire]] when the scientist entered the joint. {{storylink|What It's Really Like}} When Megatron was defeated at the hands of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] disapproved and had him exiled to [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. Blot and the Terrorcons also disapproved, but thought his choice of punishment was lame and set out to get rid of their old leader permanently. {{storylink|Wreckage (issue)|Wreckage}} Unfortunately, they turned out to have vastly underestimated Megatron's power and found themselves easily dispatched, after which they were quick to re-pledge their allegiance to him. {{storylink|Prey (issue)|Prey}} After returning to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and taking back control of the Decepticons, Megatron punished Scorponok by having Blot and the Terrorcons tear him apart. {{storylink|The Illusion of Control}}

[[File:Blot and Triggerhappy The End of the Beginning of the World.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|left|Well, so much for there being an IDW appearance of Abominus.]]
As the war went on, the Terrorcons became major fanboys of [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]. They were deployed to [[Mumu-Obscura]], but were taken prisoner by the [[Reaper]]s to lure Sixshot to the planet. The Reapers offered membership to their little club so long as Sixshot destroyed the Terrorcons, to which Blot offered no reaction whatsoever, nor did he react when Sixshot appeared to take the Reapers up on their offer. After Sixshot declined the invitation, the Reapers allowed the Decepticons to leave in peace. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}}

Blot later returned to Cybertron, where he was part of an angry Decepticon crowd who demanded answers from the [[Autobot]]s for [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s death. {{storylink|Stick Together}} He joined up with [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], who was trying to lead the Decepticons back into war, only to be taken out by [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] while guarding their base. {{storylink|The End of the Beginning of the World}}

As such, he tends not to care about maintaining his body, despite the fact that his constant leakage can cause his body to occasionally break down.

: Released in the fourth year of Hasbro's US ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline (third year in Europe and in Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' line), Terrorcon Blot transforms into a long-armed, hunchbacked monster-thing. In monster mode, his backpack is used to mount his "slime gun" over his head. The peg for the gun also allows it to be hand-held in robot mode, but it's more or less just a cudgel if used that way.

: He can form the leg or arm of any "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and 2010)|Scramble City]]"-style combiner, though he is nominally Abominus's right arm. His usefulness as a leg is highly questionable, as his extraordinary width tends to push against whoever is positioned opposite him. Even his arm mode is far from ideal, as his beast mode legs project so far out that even Abominus's specially-shaped gun only barely clears them. He can also attach to Metroplex's robot mode.

: There is a later-run variant of Blot, released in 1988, which not only lacks a [[rubsign]], but has been [[retool]]ed to fill in the indent on his beast noggin where the rubsign would have gone.

: There is also a packaging variant for all four small Terrorcons, which included a random bonus Decepticon [[Decoy|"Decoy" mini-figurine]].

: Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Prime: Beast Hunters]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 3|Series 3 ''Cyberverse'']] Legion Class toys, Blight transforms into a hulking bipedal dragonoid-like thing. His [[robot mode]] hands can hold the weapon via the latter's multiple [[C joint|3 mm post]]s, and he and the weapon feature numerous 3 mm mounting points.

: Though not called out in the [[instructions]], Blight combines with ''Cyberverse'' [[Twinstrike (Prime)#Toys|Twinstrike]], [[Hun-Gurrr (Prime)#Toys|Hun-Gurrr]], [[Windrazor (Prime)#Toys|Windrazor]], and [[Rippersnapper (Prime)#Toys|Predacon Rippersnapper]], to form [[Abominus (Prime)#Toys|Abominus]], with Blight forming the left leg.

: This toy was [[redeco]]ed into Rot Gut, ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' [[Burara#Toys|Burara]], and [[Gorge#Toys|''The Last Knight'' Gorge]].

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] and [[Aaron Gray]] (Hasbro)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: Released in the third (and Terrorcon-dense) wave of ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Deluxes, "Terrorcon Blot" is a heavy [[retool]] of [[Rippersnapper (G1)#Power of the Primes|Terrorcon Rippersnapper]], transforms into a hunchbacked creature based on his original toy. Like all ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures, he comes with Prime Armor with a spot for [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]]s (and by extension, [[Titan Master#Toys|Titan Master]]s, [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigmas of Combination]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix cores]]) and can form a Combiner hand. He includes a piece that can fill the gap in the armor or be held as a gun.

: Blot can also change into a limb for any ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Combiner (or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs), although he is meant to combine with [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)#Power of the Primes|Hun-Gurrr]] to form [[Abominus (G1)#Power of the Primes|Abominus]].

: Blot's gun has a relatively short [[5 mm post]]. Combined with the claws that stick up above his hands, this means that he has trouble holding it securely. Blot also features an additional piece of plastic attached to the swivel that manages his monster mode head and top, primarily used to mount weapons in monster mode, though with the exception of his leg mode this part conspicuously sticks out of every one of his modes with no proper means of collapsing it.

: Being a retool of Rippersnapper, Blot unfortunately inherited that toy's fragile combiner-peg-hole problem, as his is molded in a similar thickness, or rather thinness, of plastic.

: Blot was retooled further into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Lobclaw#Generations Selects|Lobclaw]] and [[Gulf#Generations Selects|Gulf]]. The original mold was also differently retooled into [[Overbite (Masterforce)#Generations Selects|Overbite]]. Let us hope they were spared…

: Initially developed by TakaraTomy, ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' "Butto" is a more cartoon-accurate redeco of his ''Power of the Primes'' release. He features a lighter shade of purple plastic, and numerous different paint applications, mostly consisting of removing the silver paint on his chest and legs and adding red accents on his "nipples".

==Notes==
[[File:EW skin-Blight.jpg|thumb]]
* Blot had the evocative working name of "Slimebucket".
* In the 2010s, Hasbro lead designer [[John Warden]] asked TakaraTomy staff on behalf of all us fans what Blot's alt-mode is supposed to be. The answer they gave was "ogre". Your mileage may vary.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=John Warden asked TakaraTomy designers what G1 Blot was supposed to be. They say he is an "ogre".|link=https://twitter.com/tfwiki/status/916108775790137344|name=Matthew Karpowich|site=Twitter|year=2017|month=10|day=05}}</ref> The ''[[Transformers Roleplaying Game]]'' gives two wildly different answers: ''[[Decepticon Directive]]'' calls him a "goo monster", while ''[[Technorganic Secrets]]'' bizarrely tries to claim that he's a {{w|Crotaphytidae|collared lizard}}.
* In the 2005 IDW continuity, Blot may or may not be alive following Arcee's attack. It all depends on how snarkily you wish to interpret [[John Barber]]'s tweets. However, seeing as he never makes another appearance, things aren't looking too good for ol' Blot.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=I think Blip would be really ticked off if I killed his brother.|link=https://twitter.com/TheJohnBarber/status/282262789031075840|name=John Barber|site=Twitter|year=2012|month=12|day=21}}</ref>
* By the early 2010s, Hasbro lost the trademark "Blot", resulting in Blot's ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' namesake having to be called "[[Blight (Prime)|Blight]]". Later in the decade, Hasbro got the trademark back, but now as "Terrorcon Blot" for stronger protection.
* Due to being (probably) dead, Blot never appeared in IDW's [[The Transformers: Windblade|''Windblade'' vol. 1]] [[A Long Way Down|#2]], wherein several of his teammates appeared redesigned according to their contemporary ''Transformers: Prime'' toy namesakes. In [[2013]], "Blight" (toy trademark issues) did get to appear as such in the ''Transformers Legends'' mobile game. In [[2024]], "Blot" (trademark back, baby!) also received a pay-to-unlock aesthetic skin (at right) based on ''Prime'' Blight in the ''Transformers: Earth Wars'' mobile game.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Butto''' (ブット),<ref>While usually written "Butt", Blot's Japanese name is in fact rather difficult to transliterate into English, being essentially "foot" with a "b" sound instead of an "f". In katakana, "butt" is usually rendered バット ''batto'', while "boot" is ブート ''būto''. It is likely that "butto" is a misspelling, intentional or otherwise, of "Blot" (ブロット ''Burotto'').</ref> '''Blot''' (ブロット ''Burotto'')
*''French:'' '''Extermino''' (Canada)
*''Hungarian:'' '''Paca'''
*''Italian:'' '''Spectrobot'''
*''Mandarin:'' '''Wūdiǎn''' (China, 污点, "Stain"), '''Xuèwū Xióng''' (China, 血污熊, "Bloodstained Bear")
*''Russian:'' '''Blot''' (Блот)

{{disambigm|Blot (disambiguation)|Blight (disambiguation)}}
:''Blot is a [[Decepticon]] [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:G1Blot boxart.jpg|upright=2|thumb|Alright, I get the hint. Stop leaving scented bath soaps in my locker.]]
There's only one thing [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s both agree on with no war or argument, and it's this: '''Blot''' (alias '''Blight''') is the most vile and disgusting Transformer ever assembled. He oozes fluids of questionable nature from various joints on his frame, and has a rank odor that usually keeps foes and allies far away from him. Naturally, all this scorn and insult has given the less-than-smart Blot quite the inferiority complex. Stuck with a hygiene problem he can't control and a central processor a few hertz too slow, Blot is both unable to solve the problems of his own stench and talk back to the insulting comments from his peers. Brutish and slow-witted, Blot is the classic dumb bully to those who don't give him respect... although he's not sharp enough to tell when said respect is faked. He's immensely loyal to those who at the very least pretend he's worth something, and [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]] in particular is a Decepticon to whom he shows unwavering support.

The other [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], on the other hand, tolerate Blot enough, but are apprehensive about combining into [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] with him, as it takes far too long to remove the stench he's passed on to them after they're finished.<ref>Generation 1 Blot toy bio and Marvel ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|The Transformers Universe]]'' profile in [[Back from the Dead|''The Transformers'' #56]]</ref>

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
[[File:Blotcomic.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Look! It's my magic nose goblin! He loves making humans go squish!]]
Blot served [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with his fellow Terrorcons, until the disappearance of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], their greatest nemesis. After being alerted to the presence of Fortress Maximus and the Autobots on the distant planet [[Nebulos]], Blot and the Decepticons tracked down their quarry at the planet's capital city, [[Koraja]]. Unfortunately for the Decepticons, the newly minted Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] were more than tough enough to drive off the invaders. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} The Decepticons were only temporarily deterred, however, and continued their reign of terror on Nebulos. Scorponok sent Blot and the Terrorcons, along with the [[Horrorcon (G1)|Horrorcons]], to attack the resort city of [[Splendora]]. When the Autobots arrived to defend the city, the Terrorcons merged to form [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], but the united [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] became [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], who used a combination of acid pellets and brute force to disassemble the robot and drive off the Decepticons. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}} Blot and the Terrorcons also joined Scorponok in an attack on the [[Nursery (Nebulos)|Nursery]], where they encountered another new kind of Autobot/Nebulon fusion: [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]]. Blot held his own with the aid of his [[Slime gun|slimegun]], and the Autobots eventually realized that the battle was bringing ruin to the agricultural facility. They fled from Blot and the rest of the Decepticons to bring an end to the carnage. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

[[File:DarkStar-BlotTracks.jpg|thumb|Blot firmly believes the crotch is the funniest part of the body to acid-bathe.]]
The Decepticons eventually traveled to [[Earth]], and came into conflict with both Autobot and Decepticon alike. After a brief [[Decepticon Civil War]], the united forces of [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and Scorponok turned their rage on the Autobots under [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s command. Blot gleefully joined in the battle, blasting the veteran Autobot [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] with his acid spray. All parties eventually joined forces, however, against the [[Underbase]]-enhanced might of [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]]. The Terrorcons attempted to confront Starscream in [[Buenos Aires]], [[Argentina]], but were annihilated with a single wave of his hand. {{storylink|Dark Star}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
[[File:Blot headhunt.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.8|Death's Head then immediately regretted having direct physical contact with Blot.]]
[[File:Blot cutthroat time wars.jpg|thumb|upright=0.5]]
In [[2007]], Blot was sent to the freelance peacekeeping agent known as [[Death's Head (G1)|Death's Head]] as an emissary for the Decepticon army. Death's Head had sought a bounty against [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] months earlier, only to have the offerrer, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]], interfere with the collection and rescind the offer. Blot proposed the mechanoid use Decepticon resources to enter Cybertron undetected and track Rodimus Prime's predicted movements to get his revenge. Death's Head was unconvinced by this appeal to his sense of pride, so then Blot appealed to his wallet and instantly the mech was interested in the deal. {{storylink|Headhunt}}

Frothing at the mouth (and the neck, and the ankle joints, and...), Blot enjoyed terrorizing the human population on [[2009]] while on his way to the latest [[energon]] extraction site the Decepticons had rigged up. Unfortunately for them, [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and the Terrorcons proved incapable of fending off an Autobot strike team, who quickly destroyed their laboriously assembled drill. Seeking revenge, Blot and the others chased their foes back to [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], only to end up passing through a [[trans-time dimensional portal]] and getting caught up in fighting for the fate of the universe. It seems the former 21st century Decepticon leader Galvatron had been active in the 20th century for too long, causing a timestorm which threatened both ends of the timeline, at [[1989]] and 2009.

Soundwave ostensibly agreed to help their 20th century counterparts, but in reality kept Blot and the other Terrorcons in reserve, hoping the other various factions present would do the heavy lifting for them. In the end, Soundwave and the 2009 Terrorcons chose the better part of valor and fled back to their home time rather than face the fighting mad Galvatron. {{storylink|Time Wars}}

====''Classics''====
{{noteclassics}}
Hun-Grrr was framed by the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]]s as a traitor in the Decepticon ranks. When Bludgeon and the Seacons confronted him about it, the Terrorcon leader summoned Blot and the others to form Abominus and defend his name. Ultimately, though, Abominus fell in battle with [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]]. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

====''Regeneration One''====
{{NoteRG1}}
By [[2012]] Blot had been partially revived and pressed into service as part of [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s lobotomised [[zombie]] army. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 4}} When the [[Autobot]]s arrived from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to confront Megatron, Blot was shot down by [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 5}}

====''Transformers '84''====
Following the departure of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' from Cybertron, Blot fell in amongst Lord [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]'s troops and helped him carve out his own Decepticon empire by attempting to purge every surviving Autobot on the planet. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 3|Secrets & Lies #3}} When Straxus later planned to reactivate [[Project Dreadnought]], he sent [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] to defend the [[Planetary engine|planetary turbines]]' control hub in [[Stanix]], where the [[combiner]] encountered [[Punch (G1)|Punch]] and the [[Wreckers]]. After a blow from [[Rack'n'Ruin (G1)|Rack'n'Ruin]]'s [[Hammer (weapon)|hammer]] brought Abominus crashing down, Blot and the other Terrorcons separated to battle the Wreckers individually but the Autobots disengaged and retreated as the explosives they had already laid inside the base detonated. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 4|Secrets & Lies #4}}

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===

[[File:Money-is-everything-terrorcons-robotmode.jpg|right|thumb|Don't kick [[Cutthroat (G1)|Cutthroat]] in the head]]
Blot's first appearance was with his fellow Terrorcons inside [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s head. [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] used them to blast into Unicron so he could retrieve more [[anti-electron]]s for an attack against the Autobots. Blot and the others did a decent job in keeping the Autobots at bay, but were quickly forced into retreating when [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] finished building the Technobots and gave them the ability to merge into Computron. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[File:MoneyIsEverything CutthroatBlot.jpg|left|thumb|Unused animation from ''Fantasia''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "Dance of the Hours".]]
Later, the Terrorcons were seen under the service of the [[Quintesson]]s. [[Dirk Manus]] had sold the Quintessons a [[Recreator|Molecular Disassembler/Reassembler]]. Eager to test the device, they had Blot act as the volunteer. The test proved that the device not only disassembled and reassembled matter like the name implied, but also cured whatever it had been used on of all broken parts, maladies, and other flaws. Cured of his imperfections, Blot felt sick.

When Dirk and his Technobot escorts were on their way through space, Abominus swooped down and attacked, shooting them from the sky. The [[automatic timer]] in Abominus, placed within by the Quintessons, forced Abominus to separate into his Terrorcon components. The team was upset they couldn't finish the task of destroying the Autobots, though Blot and the team did get a second chance at going against Computron later. {{storylink|Money Is Everything (episode)|Money Is Everything}}

[[File:Terrorconfight.jpg|thumb|So a landfill, a glutton, and a sadist walk into a bar...]]
Blot was one of the [[Primitive]]s summoned to fight [[Tornedron]]. Blot joined the other Terrorcons in a last-ditch stand against the energy creature, but the group was surrounded and drained of their energy. They, like the rest of Tornedron's victims, were restored thanks to Grimlock's actions.
{{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

Blot, along with the rest of the Terrorcons, stole [[Impervious alloy|heat-resistant alloy]] from the [[Mark Morgan|Morgan]]/[[Gregory Swofford|Swofford]] lab. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

In [[2007]], Blot participated in an attack on [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in order to draw the Autobots' attention while [[Wingspan]] and [[Pounce]] stole the [[Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber|Key]] to the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]].{{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} He later took part in the battle on Cybertron, assaulting the Autobots' positions. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
In [[2011]], Blot and the Terrorcons journeyed to Cybertron over the long-abandoned Decepticon [[space bridge|Space Bridge]]. They were part of the first wave of Galvatron's siege, hoping to gain control of [[Vector Sigma]]. Blot's team combined into Abominus to battle [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Later on, Abominus teamed up with his fellow combiners to wage war on their Autobot counterparts. Their victory seemed assured until the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] swooped in and scattered the Decepticon combiners. They barely survived the encounter. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} On Earth, Blot and the Terrorcons intervened on [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]]'s search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] and the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] kept the Terrorcons busy so that Hot Rod could complete his mission. Even after the Terrorcons formed Abominus, the Headmasters stood against them, and the arrival of Computron swung the odds firmly on the Autobots' side. Abominus was last seen with his head buried in the sand, being kicked in the side by Computron. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

When Galvatron launched a [[Metamorphose|metal-warping meteorite]] at the Autobots on [[Athenia]], he brought along Blot and the Terrorcons to occupy the Autobot forces. Linking up as Abominus, they once again battled Computron and the Headmasters. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}

[[File:Hm14 Blot Gun.jpg|thumb|200px|Get out of my swamp!]]
[[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] devised a scheme to harvest [[plasma energy]] from the planet [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] by setting off a series of explosives that would utterly destroy the planet, releasing its stored energies. Blot and the Terrorcons were responsible for planting the bombs. Hun-Gurrr was spotted by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], and [[Shouki]] of the Trainbots, but the other Terrorcons managed to take them hostage. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} Blot and the Terrorcons managed to get two of the three sites set before being set upon by [[Raiden]] and the Headmasters. By forming Abominus, Blot's team held their own until Scorponok arrived with his mighty [[Transtector]], MegaZarak. The giant scorpion occupied the Autobots long enough for the Terrorcons to finish their work, and Mars was consumed by the resultant atomic inferno. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}

Soon after, Blot and the Terrorcons joined Sixshot the returning Galvatron on an energy raid. They sought to prevent the Autobots from re-energizing the distant world of [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]], and steal the energy for themselves. Blot's team formed Abominus for yet another in a series of battles against Computron. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

[[File:IRMLFE Decepticon cheer.jpg|thumb|200px|left]]
After an extended mission in space, Blot returned with Galvatron and the other Decepticons, setting up shop on Earth under Sixshot's command. He joined an enormous offensive against the Autobots' facility in [[Florida|Miami]], drawing out the troops from Autobot City so that Sixshot could kill [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. Body-slamming Computron as Abominus was just icing on the cake. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} The warfare on Earth continued, as Blot and the Terrorcons assembled as Abominus in part of a five-fold simultaneous strike on Autobot interests engineered by Sixshot. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} As Scorponok assumed control of the Decepticons again, Blot was seen at a rally being held in his honor on Chaar. Blot and the Terrorcons later joined a Decepticon strike on the [[Kamchatka Peninsula]], seeking to gain control of the [[Pacific Ring of Fire]]. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}}

As Scorponok abandoned Earth in favor of conquering [[Master (planet)|Master]], Blot was one of his many troops seen attacking the planet's fortifications. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}} As part of Abominus, Blot participated in the final battle with the Autobots at the North Pole. He escaped into space with the rest of Scorponok's Decepticons. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violengiguar]] gathered together the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]], upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Blot was one of those summoned, but only as a part of [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Fight!

=====''Generations Selects Special Comic''=====
[[File:Blot_Selects.jpg|thumb|170px|Blot's audition for the role of Purplesaurus Rex went poorly.]]
Blot and his colleagues were sent by the [[Quintesson]]s to help the humans in their conflict against the [[Selector]]s, [[Autobot]]s, and [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}} Due to Blot's newly acquired possession of [[Angolmois Energy]], he began leaking [[anti-electron]] gas from his body. The dim-witted Terrorcon used his [[slime gun]] to fire anti-electron imbued oil at [[Orthia]], forcing the all-female combiner to split up into her individual components. Blot was later seen having a wrestling match with fellow Terrorcon [[Cutthroat (G1)|Cutthroat]], and also participated in the counter-strike on [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] at [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]]'s command.

Blot expressed shock when Megatron absorbed his Angolmois Energy, but later received the upper hand when Hun-Gurrr received the [[Terrorbreaster]] deployed by his Quintesson masters, allowing the Terrorcons to combine into [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. However, Megatron evolved into Megatron Omega from his stockpiled Angolmois Energy and briefly attacked the brutish combiner. Abominus shot a hole in his former ally's chest and left him for dead, {{Storylink|Abominus comic 1}} but Megatron Omega ultimately survived the attack.

Blot was present as part of Abominus during his attack on [[Neo Scramble City]], and was temporarily left out of the combiner when Hun-Gurrr and [[Cutthroat (G1)|Cutthroat]] assimilated [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]'s limbs to become [[Abomenaticus]]. Blot later recombined with Hun-Gurrr upon Abomenaticus's reconfiguration into Abominus to fight Megatron Omega. Following Abominus's failure to defeat Megatron and alliance with [[Volcanicus (POTP)|Volcanicus]], the Terrorcons entered a portal with the Dinobot combiner {{Storylink|Abominus comic 2}} to the [[Blue Planet (GS)|Blue Planet]] and split up into their individual forms. Blot was present on the planet's surface when Hun-Gurrr assisted Volcanicus in his fight against [[Primacron]]. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}

====''The Great Transformer War''====
Blot and the Terrorcons were defeated in battle as Abominus by Computron. They switched tactics and split into their individual modes to spray Computron with "[[Cohesive Control Liquid]]", forcing him onto the Decepticon side. The Technobots were eventually freed when Spike Witwicky blasted them with a counter-spray.

The Terrorcons and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] intercepted [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s team during the search for [[Metascan Alpha]]. The Terrorcons united into Abominus, but the Autobots ignored them and continued with their mission. A short time later, Abominus came under attack from the [[Destructon]]s and was blasted apart. The Terrorcons began a retreat and found themselves being aided by Ultra Magnus, resulting in Cyclonus agreeing to a truce between the two factions. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

[[File:MegatronOrigin4 BlotFights.jpg|upright=0.95|thumb|right|Suspect is considered armed and extremely smelly.]]
Blot was one of the earlier warriors seen in the [[Gladiatorial combat|bloodsport tournaments]] on [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], part of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s team as the future [[Decepticon leader]] rose in prominence. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}} He remained part of the movement when the pit-fighting broke out into active terrorism, and was seen dismembering security officers with his extra arms just before [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] returned with his [[Apex Armor (G1)|Apex Armor]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}}

During [[Zeta Prime (G1)|Zeta Prime]]'s era, Blot frequented [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]'s bar and threw a glass at [[Jetfire (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jetfire]] when the scientist entered the joint. {{storylink|What It's Really Like}} When Megatron was defeated at the hands of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] disapproved and had him exiled to [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. Blot and the Terrorcons also disapproved, but thought his choice of punishment was lame and set out to get rid of their old leader permanently. {{storylink|Wreckage (issue)|Wreckage}} Unfortunately, they turned out to have vastly underestimated Megatron's power and found themselves easily dispatched, after which they were quick to re-pledge their allegiance to him. {{storylink|Prey (issue)|Prey}} After returning to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and taking back control of the Decepticons, Megatron punished Scorponok by having Blot and the Terrorcons tear him apart. {{storylink|The Illusion of Control}}

[[File:Blot and Triggerhappy The End of the Beginning of the World.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|left|Well, so much for there being an IDW appearance of Abominus.]]
As the war went on, the Terrorcons became major fanboys of [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]. They were deployed to [[Mumu-Obscura]], but were taken prisoner by the [[Reaper]]s to lure Sixshot to the planet. The Reapers offered membership to their little club so long as Sixshot destroyed the Terrorcons, to which Blot offered no reaction whatsoever, nor did he react when Sixshot appeared to take the Reapers up on their offer. After Sixshot declined the invitation, the Reapers allowed the Decepticons to leave in peace. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}}

Blot later returned to Cybertron, where he was part of an angry Decepticon crowd who demanded answers from the [[Autobot]]s for [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s death. {{storylink|Stick Together}} He joined up with [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], who was trying to lead the Decepticons back into war, only to be taken out by [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] while guarding their base. {{storylink|The End of the Beginning of the World}}

Blot is a disgusting shambling mess, leaking bodily fluids (oil, hydraulic and Primus knows what else), which only goes to damage his low self-esteem even more. As such, he tends not to care about maintaining his body, despite the fact that his constant leakage can cause his body to occasionally break down. Though unintelligent and uncouth, he is a strong, loyal and surprisingly agile fighter, with sharp claws which allow him to scale all manner of vertical structure with ease, as well as assisting his fellow Terrorcons with a slime gun that fires beams of corrosive liquid.{{storylink|Source:Transformers:_Earth_Wars/2019#Blot|Blot Bio}}

: Released in the fourth year of Hasbro's US ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline (third year in Europe and in Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' line), Terrorcon Blot transforms into a long-armed, hunchbacked monster-thing. In monster mode, his backpack is used to mount his "slime gun" over his head. The peg for the gun also allows it to be hand-held in robot mode, but it's more or less just a cudgel if used that way.

: He can form the leg or arm of any "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and 2010)|Scramble City]]"-style combiner, though he is nominally Abominus's right arm. His usefulness as a leg is highly questionable, as his extraordinary width tends to push against whoever is positioned opposite him. Even his arm mode is far from ideal, as his beast mode legs project so far out that even Abominus's specially-shaped gun only barely clears them. He can also attach to Metroplex's robot mode.

: There is a later-run variant of Blot, released in 1988, which not only lacks a [[rubsign]], but has been [[retool]]ed to fill in the indent on his beast noggin where the rubsign would have gone.

: There is also a packaging variant for all four small Terrorcons, which included a random bonus Decepticon [[Decoy|"Decoy" mini-figurine]].

His [[robot mode]] hands can hold the weapon via the latter's multiple [[C joint|3 mm post]]s, and he and the weapon feature numerous 3 mm mounting points.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] and [[Aaron Gray]] (Hasbro)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: Released in the third (and Terrorcon-dense) wave of ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Deluxes, "Terrorcon Blot" is a heavy [[retool]] of [[Rippersnapper (G1)#Power of the Primes|Terrorcon Rippersnapper]], transforms into a hunchbacked creature based on his original toy. Like all ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures, he comes with Prime Armor with a spot for [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]]s (and by extension, [[Titan Master#Toys|Titan Master]]s, [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigmas of Combination]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix cores]]) and can form a Combiner hand. He includes a piece that can fill the gap in the armor or be held as a gun.

: Blot can also change into a limb for any ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Combiner (or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs), although he is meant to combine with [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)#Power of the Primes|Hun-Gurrr]] to form [[Abominus (G1)#Power of the Primes|Abominus]].

: Blot's gun has a relatively short [[5 mm post]]. Combined with the claws that stick up above his hands, this means that he has trouble holding it securely. Blot also features an additional piece of plastic attached to the swivel that manages his monster mode head and top, primarily used to mount weapons in monster mode, though with the exception of his leg mode this part conspicuously sticks out of every one of his modes with no proper means of collapsing it.

: Due to being a retool of Rippersnapper, Blot unfortunately inherited that toy's fragile combiner-peg-hole problem, as his is molded in a similar thickness, or rather thinness, of plastic.

: Blot was retooled further into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Lobclaw#Generations Selects|Lobclaw]] and [[Gulf#Generations Selects|Gulf]]. The original mold was also differently retooled into [[Overbite (Masterforce)#Generations Selects|Overbite]]. Let us hope they were spared…

: Initially developed by TakaraTomy, ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' "Butto" is a more cartoon-accurate redeco of his ''Power of the Primes'' release. He features a lighter shade of purple plastic, and numerous different paint applications, mostly consisting of removing the silver paint on his chest and legs and adding red accents on his "nipples". Minor deco changes include two Decepticon insignias on his shoulders, silver spots on the sides of his stomach, as well as blue accents on his knees and crotch.

: He was only available in a massive box set of Terrorcons, along with [[Cutthroat (G1)#Generations Selects|Cutthroat]], [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)#Generations Selects|Hun-Gurrr]], [[Rippersnapper (G1)#Generations Selects|Rippersnapper]], and [[Sinnertwin (G1)#Generations Selects|Sinnertwin]].

==Notes==
[[File:EW skin-Blight.jpg|thumb]]
* Blot had the evocative working name of "Slimebucket".
* In the 2010s, Hasbro lead designer [[John Warden]] asked TakaraTomy staff on behalf of all us fans what Blot's alt-mode is supposed to be. The answer they gave was "ogre". Your mileage may vary.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=John Warden asked TakaraTomy designers what G1 Blot was supposed to be. They say he is an "ogre".|link=https://twitter.com/tfwiki/status/916108775790137344|name=Matthew Karpowich|site=Twitter|year=2017|month=10|day=05}}</ref> The ''[[Transformers Roleplaying Game]]'' gives two wildly different answers: ''[[Decepticon Directive]]'' calls him a "goo monster", while ''[[Technorganic Secrets]]'' bizarrely tries to claim that he's a {{w|Crotaphytidae|collared lizard}}.
* In the 2005 IDW continuity, Blot may or may not be alive following Arcee's attack. It all depends on how snarkily you wish to interpret [[John Barber]]'s tweets. However, seeing as he never makes another appearance, things aren't looking too good for ol' Blot.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=I think Blip would be really ticked off if I killed his brother.|link=https://twitter.com/TheJohnBarber/status/282262789031075840|name=John Barber|site=Twitter|year=2012|month=12|day=21}}</ref>
* By the early 2010s, Hasbro lost the trademark "Blot", resulting in Blot's ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' namesake having to be called "[[Blight (Prime)|Blight]]". Later in the decade, Hasbro got the trademark back, but now as "Terrorcon Blot" for stronger protection.
* Due to being (probably) dead, Blot never appeared in IDW's [[The Transformers: Windblade|''Windblade'' vol. 1]] [[A Long Way Down|#2]], wherein several of his teammates appeared redesigned according to their contemporary ''Transformers: Prime'' toy namesakes. In [[2013]], "Blight" (toy trademark issues) did get to appear as such in the ''Transformers Legends'' mobile game. In [[2024]], "Blot" (trademark back, baby!) also received a pay-to-unlock aesthetic skin (at right) based on ''Prime'' Blight in the ''Transformers: Earth Wars'' mobile game.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Butto''' (ブット),<ref>While usually written "Butt", Blot's Japanese name is in fact rather difficult to transliterate into English, being essentially "foot" with a "b" sound instead of an "f". In katakana, "butt" is usually rendered バット ''batto'', while "boot" is ブート ''būto''. It is likely that "butto" is a misspelling, intentional or otherwise, of "Blot" (ブロット ''Burotto'').</ref> '''Blot''' (ブロット ''Burotto'')
*''French:'' '''Extermino''' (Canada)
*''Hungarian:'' '''Paca'''
*''Italian:'' '''Spectrobot'''
*''Mandarin:'' '''Wūdiǎn''' (China, 污点, "Stain"), '''Xuèwū Xióng''' (China, 血污熊, "Bloodstained Bear")
*''Russian:'' '''Blot''' (Блот)

== Megatron Origin? ==

Because I really don't feel like squinting at Milne art, I have to ask: where is Blot in ''Megatron Origin''? [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 07:42, 21 March 2012 (EDT)
:Issue 2, among the gladiators in the montage of Megatron's fights. Also seen with Hun-Grrr and some Predacons. Issue 4, during the uprising. He's shooting a gun with his robot arms while ripping bodies apart with his creature arms. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 10:24, 21 March 2012 (EDT)

== Power of the Primes ==

Can we really call the POTP figure a retool of Rippersnapper? At a glance some of the details look very similar, like the V shape above the pelvis and the way the shoulders attach to the torso. But closer inspection makes it look to me like the only parts they actually share are the combiner peg, knees, thighs, and crotch. It seems more like they might share the one sprue, and even then it might be that they just reused the same CAD model for those particular parts. Even the shoulder pieces, despite being the same size and fitting into the torso the same way, have different molded details. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] ([[User talk:King Starscream|talk]]) 04:15, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

“Despite being a retool of Rippersnapper, Blot thankfully did not inherit that toy's fragile combiner-peg-hole problem, as his is molded in much thicker plastic” - Where did this come from? I’ve checked my copies of both Rippersnapper and Blot, and the socket walls are the same thickness. Not to mention that both sockets are broken. --[[User:Oiler|Oiler]] ([[User talk:Oiler|talk]]) 21:01, 9 November 2024 (EDT)

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the first year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'', Skywarp transforms into an {{w|F-15 Eagle}} fighter jet, by a process which essentially involves removing and reattaching most of his plane parts. Though it is possible to do so without removing all of them, this rather piecemeal design and the fact that neither mode uses all his parts means it can be quite difficult to find an intact original Skywarp on the secondary market. He began life as a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Jet Robo", but unlike team-mates [[Starscream (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Thundercracker]], with whom he shares his mold, his distinctive black-and-purple deco did ''not'' originate in that line.

: Skywarp is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short rockets are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Skywarp's machine guns. The original ''Diaclone'' version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.

: While the earliest releases of Skywarp were basically identical to the ''Diaclone'' mold, some small modifications were soon made to the figure which became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. These included the hollowing out of the inner edges of his wings and the tips of his tail-wings, the lengthening of the pegs on his wings to make them fit more securely, and the addition of extra clips on the inner sides of his fist-gauntlets, allowing them to grip his arms better. Like all his 1984 brethren, Skywarp gained a factory-applied [[rubsign]] in 1985, which was added to the left side of his fuselage.

: Presumably by mistake, the stats on Skywarp, Starscream and Thundercracker's [[Tech Spec]]s were switched around. Skywarp's box was given Starscream's numbers, giving him a high intelligence and rank that stood in contrast to the bio printed next to them.

: Early Hasbro stock photos of Skywarp (right) show him with a plastic purple nosecone. This was changed to a soft, black rubber nosecone when the toy was actually released. However, a [http://tfarchive.com/toys/articles/toypics/mex_skywarp.jpg Mexican variant] retained the purple plastic nosecone. The same stock photos also show him with purple launchers with black triggers and muzzle rings, black feet, black shins, black outer arm panels, purple horizontal stabilizers, and both sets of purple missiles. These stock photos were also later used to promote Takara's 2001 reissue (see below).

: The Italian release of Skywarp (as "Corvo") by [[GiG]] put him in a generic "Distructor Planes" box, featuring names and tech specs for all three planes in the assortment.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstorm (G1)#Toys|Sunstorm]] and retooled to make [[Dirge (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Thrust]].

: Sharing a mold once again with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Thundercracker]], Skywarp transforms into a white {{w|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: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' toys, Skywarp was an [[exclusive]] to [[KB Toys]] stores and related stores like Toy Liquidators.

: This toy is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the other three Basic molds in the line. Specifically, his head and inner robot parts share plastic with [[Hubcap (MW)#Toys|Hubcap]], and his jet parts share plastic with [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Mirage]], plus he shares the pearlescent-gray canopy plastic with, well, everyone.

Which is appropriate, given this mold was originally developed for ''Generation 2'' as [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Thundercracker]].

: The toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Skywarp drone]]s.

:The original Skywarp toy was reissued for the first time in 2001 as part of Takara's small "[[The Transformers: Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]]" series, which made several Generation 1 toys available as convention [[exclusive]]s. Sold in new open-faced packaging with no notable changes from the original figure, Skywarp was an exclusive at the Japanese science fiction convention "Super Festival 21", available only in a set with Thundercracker and limited to 1000 pieces. The pair are often mistakenly identified as [[e-HOBBY]] exclusives.

:The original Skywarp toy was made available again as part of Hasbro's line of [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] reissues. Released in the fourth wave of the series, it featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. His machine guns didn't turn out ''too'' bad; the missiles didn't fare so well. Rather than correct the erroneous Tech Spec numbers from Skywarp's original release, this reissue retained them and instead features a slightly re-written bio to remove the contradictions.

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] in his Generation 1 colors. He transforms into a Cybertronic fighter jet, armed with two spring-loaded projectile launchers that can fire orange "energon" bolts. These launchers end up in his arms in robot mode. He has a third robot mode that collapses the legs around the cockpit (oh hush), with flip-out panels revealing an extra pair of thrusters. His [[spark]] crystal, of the ''[[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobots]]'' design, revealed by flipping the purple hatch on his back, has a Decepticon [[insignia]] [[tampograph]]ed on top of it, oddly facing the opposite direction from the design molded into the crystal.

:Although most previous versions of the mold have the wingtips swept forward in vehicle mode, Skywarp was packaged and depicted in his instructions with the wingtips swept back. His fictional appearances, however, use the conventional arrangement shown here.

:Skywarp was also used to make ''Beast Machines'' [[Aero Drone|Sonic Attack Jet]], ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Storm Jet (RID)|Storm Jet]], and ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Jhiaxus (RID)|Jhiaxus]].

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' product, Skywarp is, of course, a redeco of this line's Starscream. Like all toys in the series, he is a tiny, simplified version of the original Generation 1 toy, transforming into an F-15 fighter jet, with most of the accessories from the original toy faithfully translated save for his machine guns. As with all previous waves of ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'', these figures were sold [[blindpacking|blindpacked]], with Skywarp as one of the wave's two rare [[chase figure]]s

: This mold was redecoed into ''Smallest Transforming'' Thundercracker, and retooled to make Thrust.

: ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Starscream]] from the same series, a re-imagining of the original Generation 1 figure, retaining its basic [[Transformation|transformation scheme]], but designed to be closer to the animation model, with greater articulation and integrated parts that do not require detachment during transformation. The only pieces that now need to be removed are Skywarp's rifles, which move from his wings to his arms. He has three peg-holes on each arm, allowing the rifles to be mounted on his shoulders, on his forearms, or in his fists. These holes are also designed to accommodate the generic spring-loaded missile launcher weapon included with ''Robotmasters'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|G1 Convoy]], [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Convoy]] and [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Megatron]].

: Skywarp also came with two "missile pods" based on weapons Starscream used but once, in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "[[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain]]". These chromed accessories plug into the square holes in his chest, and feature opening covers that reveal (non-firing) missiles within.

: He was available only in a two-pack with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Thundercracker]], which also came with a Decepticon sigil pin. This set was the very last product released in the ''Robotmasters'' 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 ''Robotmasters'' sticker in the corner tab noting its origin from the front.

**''Accessories:'' Left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles

: ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Skywarp is a redeco and slight retool of ''Classics'' Deluxe Class [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Classics|Starscream]], transforming into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-15 Eagle fighter jet]], though with a canopy like that of an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-14 Tomcat]]. Unlike previous (and future) figures, the shade of purple used for this figure has a more reddish tint to it. 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 can attach under his wings in vehicle mode. As with most ''Classics'' toys, he also features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

: Skywarp was slightly [[retool]]ed from the earlier Starscream figures. The retool is present in the jet intake area. The slope of his shoulders was decreased from Starscream's, and a fifth rectangle was added to the vertical area. This retooled version was used for all subsequent releases of the mold, and was also used as a [[Variant#Running change|running change]] on Starscream.

: Skywarp was only available as part of a two-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Classics|Ultra Magnus]] [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States. The set's price was $19.99, despite including both a Voyager Class and Deluxe Class mold in it, which would be approximately $30 worth of toys if they had been sold separately. The pack was also available in Woolworth stores throughout the United Kingdom.

: [[Stock photography]] of ''Classics'' Skywarp showed [[:File:Classics Skywarp toy.jpg|a more detailed color scheme]] than the actual released figure. Much like ''Classics'' Ultra Magnus, the changes were most likely due to an overabundance of [[paint operation]]s. This more detailed version was shown at [[BotCon 2006]], and at least one sample found its way to a collector's hands. The sample also used the original Starscream mold, and not the retooled version mentioned above.

**''Accessories:'' 2 "Machine Guns", 2 AIM missile racks, [[Doctor Arkeville#MP6|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot, Megatron Gun clasp, display stand

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Skywarp was released in Japan in September of 2007. He is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-3 Starscream]] mold in black, gray, silver, and purple, though the purple and silver are more minimal than usual. Skywarp is able to switch between a minimally retooled stoic face and a new snarly face, retooled from Starscream's previous smirk. The tiny [[Doctor Arkeville]] [[Slug figure|pilot figurine]] (this time molded black) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Masterpiece MP-1 Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime]].

[[File:MPSkywarp stickers.jpg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|He ''admits'' to being Cyclonus? Haha, what a prankster!]]
: The sticker sheet includes Skywarp-esque stripes, as well as several whimsical squadron markings.

:The second pressing of ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp (released in October 2008) features an assembly error: his left and right pectorals are flipped. This misassembly does not affect transformation at all, and is really only noticeable when compared to prior ''Masterpiece'' Seekers. The September 2007 pressing of ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp is assembled correctly. ''Masterpiece'' Thundercracker is misassembled as well.

:It is a common misconception that the stoic face on Takara's ''Masterpiece'' Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker are the same, when all of them are in fact different sculpts.

:This mold was later used for the ''Masterpiece'' version of [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]]. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh ''Masterpiece'' figure, [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|Starscream]].

**''ID number:'' '''MP-11SW'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP11SW|Megatron Gun]], [[Doctor Arkeville#MP11SW|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot

:A redeco of the newer ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 Starscream]] mold, Skywarp features some extensive retooling to wind the ''Masterpiece'' Seeker design back into the more Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered Machine Guns attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation.

:The figure features flip-up missile racks built into his pectorals. He comes with the original version of the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Megatron gun]] that first came with ''Masterpiece'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|MP-1 Convoy]]. He also comes with a [[Doctor Arkeville#MP11SW|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figure identical to the previous MP-6 release.

:Skywarp's deco is heavily based on his cartoon appearance and features the rarely reproduced in toy form entirely purple shoulders and arm cannons. Despite the focus on cartoon accuracy in his deco, he carries over the striping on his forearms, shoulders, and pectorals similar to his original MP-6 Masterpiece release.

:As a redeco of the MP-11 release, Skywarp is ''likely'' to be plagued with the same quality control issues.

:Skywarp was only released in China via Hasbro Asia under the TakaraTomy label; marking the second time an original TakaraTomy Masterpiece toy wasn't released for the Japanese market ([[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP5G|''Masterpiece'' Megatron Gold Version]] was the first).

:On [[November 30]], [[2016]] MP-11SW Skywarp was released in Japan for the first time as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive. There are notable differences between this release and the original almost two years prior. The shade of purple used on the later release is more warm and less cool in tone. His biceps and knee flaps are now molded in black plastic rather than in purple plastic painted a glossy black. The inner portion of his upper chest is no longer painted silver mold molded in silver plastic. Many of the paint operations are also slightly different in color from the earlier Hasbro Asia release. Hasbro Asia also re-released the figure to coincide with the Japanese release.

:When purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Skywarp comes with a collector coin, mounted on a card resembling his wings, complete with his signature wing stripes. The coin was reissued in 2016, without change, alongside the figure.

:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP52|Starscream Ver. 2.0]], the second version of ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp was first announced by TakaraTomy as part of a competition—those who purchase all three Ver.2.0 Seekers will receive an add-on kit for [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP52|Starscream]]; giving him his iconic crown and cape from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. The toy's stock photography was unveiled a few months after the competition was announced.

:Skywarp comes with many accessories, including 3 alternate faces, 5 effect parts, a stand for his jet mode, a pair of null rays, and a non-transforming figure of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP52Plus|Megatron]] in his gun mode. His jet mode can half-transform into a Gerwalk-styled "Alternate Transformation" which is based on the episode ''[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]'', as seen in the figure's stock photography. Skywarp is colored in a cartoon-accurate lilac color, as opposed to the neon purple found on most of his toy releases.

:Like Thundercracker, Skywarp was released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive to Japan.

: ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Skywarp is a [[Toy Hobby Market]] exclusive redeco of ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Starscream]]. Skywarp and his fellow [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Thundercracker]] were opened for pre-order on [[May 22]] through [[June 20]], and mailed out in September 2008.

:Soon after release, there were numerous complaints from both Japanese and foreign collectors about the poor quality control for both Thundercracker and Skywarp. Skywarp's most common fault was missing paint for one of his shoulders. Some reported both toys suffering misassembly issues such as having two left or two right thighs.

:Several minor changes were made to this mold for this release. The holes for his missile launchers in his arms were widened, as were the launcher's insertion pegs. The wing's missile launcher insertion points were lengthened and are now curved at the end. The last rectangle on his air intakes was further modified from the [[Transformers: Classics|Classics]] version, this time the bottom most rectangle goes completely across the air intake's surface rather than just the center. ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Thundercracker and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Starscream also saw most of these changes.

**''Accessories:'' 2 "Machine Guns", 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand

: A [[Walmart]] exclusive redeco of the original ''Masterpiece'' Starscream mold. Just like Starscream, Skywarp is able to switch between two different faces. This release uses the Starscream's stoic and smirking alternate faces rather than the Takara ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp's newly-tooled stoic and snarling faces. Hasbro designer [[Joe Kyde]] felt the alternate snarling face did not fit Skywarp's prankster personality, so he went with the Starscream smirk face instead when designing the deco for Hasbro's release. As a result of gang molding, Skywarp also uses Starscream's stoic face, the decision being the difference between Skywarp and Starscream's stoic face was negligible enough not to make a significant difference. The toy also features a more G1 toy styled deco rather than cartoon-based, particularly in the yellow eye color and wing stripes. His purple more closely matches that of the original toy than the purple used on the Takara version, and features a lighter flat black, like the original toy, instead of Takara's darker glossy black. The Hasbro version replaces some of the dark gray of the Takara version with a dark silver, removes the arm and chest striping, but adds additional red detailing, while removing some as well. Much like Hasbro's Starscream, he does not feature any of the warning or slogan tampographs, but features tampographed striping, Decepticon symbols, and some additional paint details not present on the Takara version. The nosecone features black paint over purple plastic, allowing for easy customization of "Mexican Masterpiece Skywarp".
: The tiny Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine (molded in black with no paint applications) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with ''Masterpiece'' Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and a stand (featuring Skywarp's name) with a support beam for jet or robot mode.
: Masterpiece Skywarp was also available as an Argos exclusive in the [[United Kingdom]].

:Skywarp is a [[retool]] of the simultaneously released ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Alternity|Starscream]] with a different head, transforming into a licensed 1:32 scale {{w|Mitsuoka Orochi}}. Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only ''Alternity'' mold to feature [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|a fake kibble chest]].

:In car mode, small wings are ''supposed to'' be able to flip out from under Skywarp's rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath ''deforming the rims and chipping the tires''. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s ''very easily''.

: Part of the third wave of ''Bot Shots'' Series 2 single-packs, Super Bot Skywarp transforms into a futuristic forward-swept wing fighter jet with two blasters at the front. As a Flip Shot, an impact to the front of his vehicle mode causes him to flip up when autotransforming. As a Super Bot, he has more lopsided stats, and is cast in translucent purplish-black plastic.

:He was going to be redecoed into the unreleased [[Starscream (G1)/toys#FlipShotLauncher|Flip Shot Starscream Launcher]]. Yup, Skywarp <s>came first</s> owns this mold.

: This version of Skywarp is heavily based on his cartoon appearance. He features a glossy black, a medium warm purple, shiny metallic purple paint on most of his purple plastic, and an amber cockpit. Paint operations found on the Henkei! Henkei! release were shuffled around for the sake of cartoon accuracy, up to and including purple shoulders.
: Original photos of Skywarp showed him with show-accurate all purple arm cannons, but due to gang molding (and lack of additional paint operations) only the upper most portion of his arm cannons ended up purple.

*'''Skywarp''' (Deluxe Class, 2014)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #012'''
**''Accessories'': Two assault cannons, tail-fin

:Part of the eighth wave of [[2012]]-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of ''Generations: [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (WFC)#Generations|Starscream]], and transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled cannons which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from ''Fall of Cybertron''. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5 mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Skywarp features numerous 5 mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides.

:Skywarp's tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.

:Skywarp is minimally mis-transformed in-package: his jet mode nosecone is extended, rather than folded in as it should be in robot mode. He comes packaged with a copy of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[Winners & Losers: Dark Cybertron Chapter 3|''Robots in Disguise'' #23]].

:Despite using a mold matching [[Skywarp (WFC)|Skywarp]]'s appearance in ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', this toy ''technically'' represents G1 Skywarp, thanks to his [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] pack-in fiction. Consequently, the toy is listed in the former's page as a [[repurposing]]. This mold was also used for TakaraTomy's ''Fall of Cybertron'' Skywarp, itself repurposed as ''Cloud'' [[Hellwarp|Skywarp]], and as ''Generations Thrilling 30'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Thundercracker]].

Based on a [[Guido Guidi]] [[Seeker (body-type)|seeker]] concept for the [[The Transformers (IDW)|first IDW ongoing series]], he transforms from a hybrid F-15/F-22 style jet. He features a fold out front landing gear, [[5 mm post|5 mm-compatible]] hands, and back/wings, and has [[C joint|3 mm-compatible]] upper arm ports. He comes with two removable cannons that have [[5 mm post#Multiple posts and double posting|both 5 mm and 3 mm pegs]]. As with Thundercracker his current stock photo is mistransformed: his wing assembly has not been folded up to the body.

:Skywarp is a redeco of ''Generations Combiner Wars'' Leader [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Thundercracker]]. He transforms from a robot into a jet fighter, and includes a missile launcher and four limb-mounted weapons, plus two guns based on the traditional Seeker arm rifles. He also features a faux cockpit. Skywarp does not include the original Jetfire mold's "Turbo Thruster" booster pack accessory, nor does he include Starscream's crown, but is still compatible with both.

:Though Skywarp was scheduled for a first quarter 2016 release, he arrived on U.S. store shelves in late 2015.

: Skywarp unfortunately became a massive shelfwarmer, prominently seen at U.S. Target stores in bulk among the ''Titans Return'' toyline.

Aside from that, the figure's deco is mostly identical to [[#Chronicle|the ''Chronicle EZ Collection'' figure]] listed above, although the purple [[paint operation]]s sport a more blue hue, the purple paint operations on his shins are omitted entirely, and the [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon insignias on the wings are purple with silver outlines rather than completely silver.<ref name="2014legion">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/1040836-classic-legion-skywarp.html Review of 2014 Legion Class Skywarp] at TFW2005, including a comparison with ''EZ Collection'' Skywarp.</ref>

:Skywarp comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''Generations'' figures, but replaces the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers". Since Skywarp and his [[wave]]-mates ship with three figures previously released under what we consider a generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2014) toy line]], all of them now in the new packaging style, we consider Skywarp to be part of that line as well. The wave that contains Skywarp has thus far been found at Fred's, Gordmans, Dollar General and Family Dollar stores in the United States, but was available at general retail in Hong Kong and from Australian Target stores.

:This ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' four-pack version of Skywarp is a retool of Voyager Class [[Starscream (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Starscream]] from the same line with a new slightly sneering face, transforming from a heavily Generation 1-inspired robot to a Cybertronian "tetrajet" based on the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]' appearance in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" and back; although the jet mode has the robot legs sticking out from the undercarriage. In an unusual move, Skywarp's plastic is molded in a light charcoal gray rather than his traditional black. He includes two "HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers," which can mount on his upper arms, or under the wings in jet mode, and three Battle Master figures, Fracas, Shrute, and Terror-Daxtyl, respectively redecoed from [[Firebolt (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Firedrive]], [[Aimless#War for Cybertron: Siege|Aimless]], and [[Pteraxadon#Toys|Pteraxadon]], each with their respective Fire Blasts.

:This set was made available at general retail in Taiwan without prior announcement from Hasbro, and was an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive for North America, which also labelled the set as "Final Strike Figure Series: Part 2", and a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive in Japan. In an uncharacteristic irony, Skywarp's face features a sneer, but with the help of [[customizing]], you can swap his head for Thundercracker or Red Wing's to patch things up a bit.

:''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Skywarp is a [[redeco]] and very slight [[retool]]ing of Voyager Class [[Starscream (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Starscream]] from the same line, transforming into an F-15 jet based on his traditional alternate mode, and features a pair of G1-accurate null-rays in cartoon-accurate purple. His design and transformation scheme is heavily based on his [[#Classics|2006 ''Classics'' figure]] while adding points of articulation the earlier figure did not have such as pivoting ankles, a more expressive ball-jointed head, and hinges that allow the wings to fold backward in robot mode. He uses Starscream's pre-tooled alternate head. His head and chest are susceptible to paint chipping due to the transformation scheme. While the null-rays can be wielded by his pair of hands, it's almost impossible for him to properly hold them due to the size of his forearms.

: Skywarp was packaged with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Thundercracker]] as part of a ''Cybertronian Villains'' set exclusive to [[Target]] in the United States, and [[Toys"R"Us]] in Canada. It was also available at general retail in Hong Kong. In Japan, the set was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

:Like many of the toys since the ''War for Cybertron trilogy'' line, Skywarp suffers from a case of [[photodegradation]], as his unpaintable purple pieces discolors to a maroon shade.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of the Seeker two-pack package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. The two-pack contains the unlabelled location of [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]].

:Like all other uses of the mold, Skywarp has a missing molded panel-line detail on the right wing hinge that is supposed to curve in towards the body of the jet. The reason for this missing detail is likely due to it missing from the metal mold itself.

:*''Accessory'': "Energon Warp Fork"
{{toydesigner|[[Mark Maher]] (Hasbro)|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Core Class toys, Skywarp is a redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Starscream]]. Frankly, we're surprised he didn't come ''sooner''.

: A roughly Legends-sized toy that can interact with Titan Class figures, ''Legacy'' Skywarp's sculpting is heavily inspired by his larger ''Earthrise'' counterpart, though featuring a black pelvis instead of a silver one. Instead of coming with a redeco of Starscream's Null Ray accessories, Skywarp comes with a... some kind of a tuning fork-like weapon called the "Energon Warp Fork", which can be plugged into the underside of his nose cone while in vehicle mode.

: Skywarp retains the hexagonal peg holes molded into Starscream's shoulders, so the figure can still support Starscream's Null Ray ''arm''aments. However, the Null Rays are prone to popping off when inserted into the peg holes due to their hexagonal shape. The stock render seen in the character bio (unlocked by scanning the QR code) also depicts him with both the Null Rays and the Warp Fork, with the former being removed for budget reasons. It should be noted that the Warp Fork was likely meant to have extra grey paint operations on the red paint details.

: Skywarp's head is molded in black, greatly reducing the risk of paint chipping and scratching suffered from ''Kingdom'' Starscream.

: As seen on ''Kingdom'' [[Hot_Rod_(G1)/toys#K43|Hot Rod's]] card illustration and Skywarp's instructions, the Energon Warp Fork is one of the three components of a combined sword. The horizontal 3mm post on the fork also prevents it from being adequately positioned when attached. This can be amended by slightly trimming off the post, though this method prevents the accessory from attaching to Skywarp's nose cone.

: This mold was also redecoed into Core Class [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Legacy|Thundercracker]].

*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)

:Skywarp was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Skywarp was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He is, surprisingly enough, ''not'' identical to either Starscream or Thundercracker: the stance of his legs and the position of his Decepticon symbols differ, but he is, of course, most prominently distinguished by his raised arms.

:Skywarp was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, in a peach coloration randomly packed in several box sets and with other products produced by Takara subsidiary [[Seven]], and in a wide variety of colours in "gachapon" capsule machines.

**''Decoy number:'' '''33'''

: The Skywarp figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (33, in Skywarp's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots.

In addition, he is distinguished from his ''Super Collection Figure'' counterpart by grey knee-vents and black foot-panels, versus the respetive purple and grey applications on the original (though several samples of the figure were missing the foot-panel paint, including the one shown at the TFU link below).

:Skywarp was one of the chase figures in the second wave of 3-inch tall [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] vinyl figurines produced by [[The Loyal Subjects]]. Featuring eight ball-jointed points of articulation. Unlike the other [[1984]] style Seekers, a Skywarp is not a redeco of the Starscream and Thundercracker figurine from the first wave (who were later redecoed to create the [[Rainmaker]] trio and [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]), but an all new mold with different construction and parts than his predecessors. He is slightly larger than the other '84 Seekers and features more moving parts. He does share some parts with the simultaneously released [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]], and fellow chase figure [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]]. For every 96 figures from wave 2 of The Loyal Subjects, there is 1 Skywarp.

:A redeco of [[Threezero]]'s MDLX Starscream, Skywarp is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Skywarp is a smaller scaled, non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and faces plus accessories. He features his ever-present null-ray cannons and two dagger-like blades.

:He and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Threezero|Thundercracker]] were revealed in a [https://www.instagram.com/p/CuIrGnDSVoP/ teaser posted to Threezero's Instagram account] showcasing Starscream.

:Skywarp retains Starscream's functionality with MDLX Optimus Prime mold, specifically the detachable wings and swappable heads.

**''Known designers:'' [[Shunya Yamashita]] (artist)

:''[[Kotobukiya]] [[Bishoujo Series]]'' Skywarp is a repaint and slight retool of [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#Kotobukiya Bishoujo Series|Starscream]] from the same line of PVC figures. In addition to being recolored in Skywarp's usual black and purple, the statue has received some minor resculpts, tweaking the face slightly and filling in her navel so she appears to be wearing a black skintight suit beneath her clothing.

:Like Starscream, Skywarp is attached to a purple display base designed after the Decepticon insignia, but she does not include any alternate headpieces like her fellow seeker.

==Notes==
[[File:Skywarpatron.jpg|right|upright=0.9|thumb]]
*During the development of the [[Conehead]]s, [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]] was initially planned as new wing tooling attached to an unchanged Skywarp body. This plan lasted long enough to receive [[package art]], which was published decades later in ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]''.
*In a possible fit of madness, a triple changer was proposed that would switch between Skywarp (possibly mistaken for Starscream), [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], and Skywarp's jet mode.
*In modern times, Skywarp is often the last of the three primary Decepticon Seekers to see the use of a toyline's respective Seeker mold. Consequently, his figures may become prominent [[shelfwarmer]]s at the tail end of a line's run, as notoriously seen worldwide with [[#CWLeader|''Combiner Wars'' Leader Class Skywarp]].

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the first year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'', Skywarp transforms into an {{w|F-15 Eagle}} fighter jet, by a process which essentially involves removing and reattaching most of his plane parts. Though it is possible to do so without removing all of them, this rather piecemeal design and the fact that neither mode uses all his parts means it can be quite difficult to find an intact original Skywarp on the secondary market. He began life as a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Jet Robo", but unlike team-mates [[Starscream (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Thundercracker]], with whom he shares his mold, his distinctive black-and-purple deco did ''not'' originate in that line.

: Skywarp is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short rockets are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Skywarp's machine guns. The original ''Diaclone'' version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.

: While the earliest releases of Skywarp were basically identical to the ''Diaclone'' mold, some small modifications were soon made to the figure which became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. These included the hollowing out of the inner edges of his wings and the tips of his tail-wings, the lengthening of the pegs on his wings to make them fit more securely, and the addition of extra clips on the inner sides of his fist-gauntlets, allowing them to grip his arms better. Like all his 1984 brethren, Skywarp gained a factory-applied [[rubsign]] in 1985, which was added to the left side of his fuselage.

: Presumably by mistake, the stats on Skywarp, Starscream and Thundercracker's [[Tech Spec]]s were switched around. Skywarp's box was given Starscream's numbers, giving him a high intelligence and rank that stood in contrast to the bio printed next to them.

: Early Hasbro stock photos of Skywarp (right) show him with a plastic purple nosecone. This was changed to a soft, black rubber nosecone when the toy was actually released. However, a [http://tfarchive.com/toys/articles/toypics/mex_skywarp.jpg Mexican variant] retained the purple plastic nosecone. The same stock photos also show him with purple launchers with black triggers and muzzle rings, black feet, black shins, black outer arm panels, purple horizontal stabilizers, and both sets of purple missiles. These stock photos were also later used to promote Takara's 2001 reissue (see below).

: The Italian release of Skywarp (as "Corvo") by [[GiG]] put him in a generic "Distructor Planes" box, featuring names and tech specs for all three planes in the assortment.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstorm (G1)#Toys|Sunstorm]] and retooled to make [[Dirge (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Thrust]].

: Sharing a mold once again with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Thundercracker]], Skywarp transforms into a white {{w|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: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' toys, Skywarp was an [[exclusive]] to [[KB Toys]] stores and related stores like Toy Liquidators.

: This toy is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the other three Basic molds in the line. Specifically, his head and inner robot parts share plastic with [[Hubcap (MW)#Toys|Hubcap]], and his jet parts share plastic with [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Mirage]], plus he shares the pearlescent-gray canopy plastic with, well, everyone.

: Curiously, Skywarp is the only Basic Decepticon to have a Decepticon symbol on him... and it's the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Decepticon symbol at that. Which is appropriate, given this mold was originally developed for ''Generation 2'' as [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Thundercracker]].

Released in the fourth wave of the series, it featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. His machine guns didn't turn out ''too'' bad; the missiles didn't fare so well. Rather than correct the erroneous Tech Spec numbers from Skywarp's original release, this reissue retained them and instead features a slightly re-written bio to remove the contradictions.

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] in his Generation 1 colors. He transforms into a Cybertronic fighter jet, armed with two spring-loaded projectile launchers that can fire orange "energon" bolts. These launchers end up in his arms in robot mode. He has a third robot mode that collapses the legs around the cockpit (oh hush), with flip-out panels revealing an extra pair of thrusters. His [[spark]] crystal, of the ''[[Transformers: Dinobots|Dinobots]]'' design, revealed by flipping the purple hatch on his back, has a Decepticon [[insignia]] [[tampograph]]ed on top of it, oddly facing the opposite direction from the design molded into the crystal.

:Although most previous versions of the mold have the wingtips swept forward in vehicle mode, Skywarp was packaged and depicted in his instructions with the wingtips swept back. His fictional appearances, however, use the conventional arrangement shown here.

:Skywarp was also used to make ''Beast Machines'' [[Aero Drone|Sonic Attack Jet]], ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Storm Jet (RID)|Storm Jet]], and ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Jhiaxus (RID)|Jhiaxus]].

: ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Starscream]] from the same series, a re-imagining of the original Generation 1 figure, retaining its basic [[Transformation|transformation scheme]], but designed to be closer to the animation model, with greater articulation and integrated parts that do not require detachment during transformation. The only pieces that now need to be removed are Skywarp's rifles, which move from his wings to his arms. He has three peg-holes on each arm, allowing the rifles to be mounted on his shoulders, on his forearms, or in his fists. These holes are also designed to accommodate the generic spring-loaded missile launcher weapon included with ''Robotmasters'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|G1 Convoy]], [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Convoy]] and [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Megatron]].

: Skywarp also came with two "missile pods" based on weapons Starscream used but once, in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "[[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain]]". These chromed accessories plug into the square holes in his chest, and feature opening covers that reveal (non-firing) missiles within.

: He was available only in a two-pack with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Thundercracker]], which also came with a Decepticon sigil pin. This set was the very last product released in the ''Robotmasters'' 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 ''Robotmasters'' sticker in the corner tab noting its origin from the front.

*'''Ultra Magnus vs Skywarp: Battle For Autobot City''' (Multi-pack, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles

: ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Skywarp is a redeco and slight retool of ''Classics'' Deluxe Class [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Classics|Starscream]], transforming into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-15 Eagle fighter jet]], though with a canopy like that of an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-14 Tomcat]]. Unlike previous (and future) figures, the shade of purple used for this figure has a more reddish tint to it. 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 can attach under his wings in vehicle mode. As with most ''Classics'' toys, he also features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

: Skywarp was slightly [[retool]]ed from the earlier Starscream figures. The retool is present in the jet intake area. The slope of his shoulders was decreased from Starscream's, and a fifth rectangle was added to the vertical area. This retooled version was used for all subsequent releases of the mold, and was also used as a [[Variant#Running change|running change]] on Starscream.

: Skywarp was only available as part of a two-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Classics|Ultra Magnus]] [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States. The set's price was $19.99, despite including both a Voyager Class and Deluxe Class mold in it, which would be approximately $30 worth of toys if they had been sold separately. The pack was also available in Woolworth stores throughout the United Kingdom.

: [[Stock photography]] of ''Classics'' Skywarp showed [[:File:Classics Skywarp toy.jpg|a more detailed color scheme]] than the actual released figure. Much like ''Classics'' Ultra Magnus, the changes were most likely due to an overabundance of [[paint operation]]s. This more detailed version was shown at [[BotCon 2006]], and at least one sample found its way to a collector's hands. The sample also used the original Starscream mold, and not the retooled version mentioned above.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-6'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Machine Guns", 2 AIM missile racks, [[Doctor Arkeville#MP6|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot, Megatron Gun clasp, display stand

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Skywarp was released in Japan in September of 2007. He is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-3 Starscream]] mold in black, gray, silver, and purple, though the purple and silver are more minimal than usual. Skywarp is able to switch between a minimally retooled stoic face and a new snarly face, retooled from Starscream's previous smirk. The tiny [[Doctor Arkeville]] [[Slug figure|pilot figurine]] (this time molded black) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Masterpiece MP-1 Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime]].

[[File:MPSkywarp stickers.jpg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|He ''admits'' to being Cyclonus? Haha, what a prankster!]]
: The sticker sheet includes Skywarp-esque stripes, as well as several whimsical squadron markings.

:The second pressing of ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp (released in October 2008) features an assembly error: his left and right pectorals are flipped. This misassembly does not affect transformation at all, and is really only noticeable when compared to prior ''Masterpiece'' Seekers. The September 2007 pressing of ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp is assembled correctly. ''Masterpiece'' Thundercracker is misassembled as well.

:It is a common misconception that the stoic face on Takara's ''Masterpiece'' Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker are the same, when all of them are in fact different sculpts.

:This mold was later used for the ''Masterpiece'' version of [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]]. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh ''Masterpiece'' figure, [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|Starscream]].

**''ID number:'' '''MP-11SW'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP11SW|Megatron Gun]], [[Doctor Arkeville#MP11SW|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot

:A redeco of the newer ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 Starscream]] mold, Skywarp features some extensive retooling to wind the ''Masterpiece'' Seeker design back into the more Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered Machine Guns attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation.

:The figure features flip-up missile racks built into his pectorals. He comes with the original version of the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Megatron gun]] that first came with ''Masterpiece'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|MP-1 Convoy]]. He also comes with a [[Doctor Arkeville#MP11SW|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figure identical to the previous MP-6 release.

:Skywarp's deco is heavily based on his cartoon appearance and features the rarely reproduced in toy form entirely purple shoulders and arm cannons. Despite the focus on cartoon accuracy in his deco, he carries over the striping on his forearms, shoulders, and pectorals similar to his original MP-6 Masterpiece release.

:As a redeco of the MP-11 release, Skywarp is ''likely'' to be plagued with the same quality control issues.

:Skywarp was only released in China via Hasbro Asia under the TakaraTomy label; marking the second time an original TakaraTomy Masterpiece toy wasn't released for the Japanese market ([[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP5G|''Masterpiece'' Megatron Gold Version]] was the first).

:On [[November 30]], [[2016]] MP-11SW Skywarp was released in Japan for the first time as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive. There are notable differences between this release and the original almost two years prior. The shade of purple used on the later release is more warm and less cool in tone. His biceps and knee flaps are now molded in black plastic rather than in purple plastic painted a glossy black. The inner portion of his upper chest is no longer painted silver mold molded in silver plastic. Many of the paint operations are also slightly different in color from the earlier Hasbro Asia release. Hasbro Asia also re-released the figure to coincide with the Japanese release.

:When purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Skywarp comes with a collector coin, mounted on a card resembling his wings, complete with his signature wing stripes. The coin was reissued in 2016, without change, alongside the figure.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-52+SW'''
**''Accessories'': 3 alternate faces, 5 effect parts, 2 null rays, 2-part display base, [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP52Plus|Megatron]] gun
:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP52|Starscream Ver. 2.0]], the second version of ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp was first announced by TakaraTomy as part of a competition—those who purchase all three Ver.2.0 Seekers will receive an add-on kit for [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP52|Starscream]]; giving him his iconic crown and cape from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. The toy's stock photography was unveiled a few months after the competition was announced.

:Skywarp comes with many accessories, including 3 alternate faces, 5 effect parts, a stand for his jet mode, a pair of null rays, and a non-transforming figure of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP52Plus|Megatron]] in his gun mode. His jet mode can half-transform into a Gerwalk-styled "Alternate Transformation" which is based on the episode ''[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]'', as seen in the figure's stock photography. Skywarp is colored in a cartoon-accurate lilac color, as opposed to the neon purple found on most of his toy releases.

:Like Thundercracker, Skywarp was released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive to Japan.

:This mold was also used to make [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#MP52|Thundercracker]].

As with all 6-inch Titanium Cybertron Heroes, he is constructed mostly of fully painted die-cast metal. He was available only at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] after the Titanium line had already been cancelled, and also Hasbro Toy Shop's booth at {{w|San Diego Comic-Con}} 2008.

: ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Skywarp is a [[Toy Hobby Market]] exclusive redeco of ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Starscream]]. Skywarp and his fellow [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Thundercracker]] were opened for pre-order on [[May 22]] through [[June 20]], and mailed out in September 2008.

:Soon after release, there were numerous complaints from both Japanese and foreign collectors about the poor quality control for both Thundercracker and Skywarp. Skywarp's most common fault was missing paint for one of his shoulders. Some reported both toys suffering misassembly issues such as having two left or two right thighs.

:Several minor changes were made to this mold for this release. The holes for his missile launchers in his arms were widened, as were the launcher's insertion pegs. The wing's missile launcher insertion points were lengthened and are now curved at the end. The last rectangle on his air intakes was further modified from the [[Transformers: Classics|Classics]] version, this time the bottom most rectangle goes completely across the air intake's surface rather than just the center. ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Thundercracker and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Starscream also saw most of these changes.

*'''Masterpiece Skywarp''' (2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Machine Guns", 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand

: A [[Walmart]] exclusive redeco of the original ''Masterpiece'' Starscream mold. Just like Starscream, Skywarp is able to switch between two different faces. This release uses the Starscream's stoic and smirking alternate faces rather than the Takara ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp's newly-tooled stoic and snarling faces. Hasbro designer [[Joe Kyde]] felt the alternate snarling face did not fit Skywarp's prankster personality, so he went with the Starscream smirk face instead when designing the deco for Hasbro's release. As a result of gang molding, Skywarp also uses Starscream's stoic face, the decision being the difference between Skywarp and Starscream's stoic face was negligible enough not to make a significant difference. The toy also features a more G1 toy styled deco rather than cartoon-based, particularly in the yellow eye color and wing stripes. His purple more closely matches that of the original toy than the purple used on the Takara version, and features a lighter flat black, like the original toy, instead of Takara's darker glossy black. The Hasbro version replaces some of the dark gray of the Takara version with a dark silver, removes the arm and chest striping, but adds additional red detailing, while removing some as well. Much like Hasbro's Starscream, he does not feature any of the warning or slogan tampographs, but features tampographed striping, Decepticon symbols, and some additional paint details not present on the Takara version. The nosecone features black paint over purple plastic, allowing for easy customization of "Mexican Masterpiece Skywarp".
: The tiny Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine (molded in black with no paint applications) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with ''Masterpiece'' Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and a stand (featuring Skywarp's name) with a support beam for jet or robot mode.
: Masterpiece Skywarp was also available as an Argos exclusive in the [[United Kingdom]].

:Skywarp's original toy was reissued again as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series, this time in a two-pack with his erstwhile partner, Thundercracker. This release of the figure replaced his Decepticon symbol stickers with [[tampograph]]s, and changed his purple stickers to a much bluer shade.

:Skywarp is a [[retool]] of the simultaneously released ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Alternity|Starscream]] with a different head, transforming into a licensed 1:32 scale {{w|Mitsuoka Orochi}}. Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only ''Alternity'' mold to feature [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|a fake kibble chest]].

:In car mode, small wings are ''supposed to'' be able to flip out from under Skywarp's rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath ''deforming the rims and chipping the tires''. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s ''very easily''.

:This mold, with Skywarp's head, was also used to make [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Alternity|Thundercracker]] and [[Banzai-Tron (G1)#Alternity|Banzai Tron]].

:Part of the eighth wave of [[2012]]-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of ''Generations: [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (WFC)#Generations|Starscream]], and transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled cannons which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from ''Fall of Cybertron''. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5 mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Skywarp features numerous 5 mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides.

:Skywarp's tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.

:Skywarp is minimally mis-transformed in-package: his jet mode nosecone is extended, rather than folded in as it should be in robot mode. He comes packaged with a copy of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[Winners & Losers: Dark Cybertron Chapter 3|''Robots in Disguise'' #23]].

:Despite using a mold matching [[Skywarp (WFC)|Skywarp]]'s appearance in ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', this toy ''technically'' represents G1 Skywarp, thanks to his [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] pack-in fiction. Consequently, the toy is listed in the former's page as a [[repurposing]]. This mold was also used for TakaraTomy's ''Fall of Cybertron'' Skywarp, itself repurposed as ''Cloud'' [[Hellwarp|Skywarp]], and as ''Generations Thrilling 30'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Thundercracker]].

: The original version of this mold was used to make ''Generations'' [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Generations|Jetfire]], and was redecoed into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Starscream]].

*'''Skywarp''' (Legion Class, 2015)

:Legion Class Skywarp is yet another redeco of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Starscream, which features the retooled wings and hands originally created for [[Transformers: Generations#Asian market exclusives ("GDO")|''Generations'' GDO]] Legends Class [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Legends|Thundercracker]]. Aside from that, the figure's deco is mostly identical to [[#Chronicle|the ''Chronicle EZ Collection'' figure]] listed above, although the purple [[paint operation]]s sport a more blue hue, the purple paint operations on his shins are omitted entirely, and the [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon insignias on the wings are purple with silver outlines rather than completely silver.<ref name="2014legion">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/1040836-classic-legion-skywarp.html Review of 2014 Legion Class Skywarp] at TFW2005, including a comparison with ''EZ Collection'' Skywarp.</ref>

:Skywarp comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''Generations'' figures, but replaces the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers". Since Skywarp and his [[wave]]-mates ship with three figures previously released under what we consider a generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2014) toy line]], all of them now in the new packaging style, we consider Skywarp to be part of that line as well. The wave that contains Skywarp has thus far been found at Fred's, Gordmans, Dollar General and Family Dollar stores in the United States, but was available at general retail in Hong Kong and from Australian Target stores.

:This ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' four-pack version of Skywarp is a retool of Voyager Class [[Starscream (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Starscream]] from the same line with a new slightly sneering face, transforming from a heavily Generation 1-inspired robot to a Cybertronian "tetrajet" based on the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]' appearance in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" and back; although the jet mode has the robot legs sticking out from the undercarriage. In an unusual move, Skywarp's plastic is molded in a light charcoal gray rather than his traditional black. He includes two "HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers," which can mount on his upper arms, or under the wings in jet mode, and three Battle Master figures, Fracas, Shrute, and Terror-Daxtyl, respectively redecoed from [[Firebolt (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Firedrive]], [[Aimless#War for Cybertron: Siege|Aimless]], and [[Pteraxadon#Toys|Pteraxadon]], each with their respective Fire Blasts.

:This set was made available at general retail in Taiwan without prior announcement from Hasbro, and was an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive for North America, which also labelled the set as "Final Strike Figure Series: Part 2", and a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive in Japan. In an uncharacteristic irony, Skywarp's face features a sneer, but with the help of [[customizing]], you can swap his head for Thundercracker or Red Wing's to patch things up a bit.

:''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Skywarp is a [[redeco]] and very slight [[retool]]ing of Voyager Class [[Starscream (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Starscream]] from the same line, transforming into an F-15 jet based on his traditional alternate mode, and features a pair of G1-accurate null-rays in cartoon-accurate purple. His design and transformation scheme is heavily based on his [[#Classics|2006 ''Classics'' figure]] while adding points of articulation the earlier figure did not have such as pivoting ankles, a more expressive ball-jointed head, and hinges that allow the wings to fold backward in robot mode. He uses Starscream's pre-tooled alternate head. His head and chest are susceptible to paint chipping due to the transformation scheme. While the null-rays can be wielded by his pair of hands, it's almost impossible for him to properly hold them due to the size of his forearms.

: Skywarp was packaged with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Thundercracker]] as part of a ''Cybertronian Villains'' set exclusive to [[Target]] in the United States, and [[Toys"R"Us]] in Canada. It was also available at general retail in Hong Kong. In Japan, the set was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

:Like many of the toys since the ''War for Cybertron trilogy'' line, Skywarp suffers from a case of [[photodegradation]], as his unpaintable purple pieces discolors to a maroon shade.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of the Seeker two-pack package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. The two-pack contains the unlabelled location of [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]].

:Like all other uses of the mold, Skywarp has a missing molded panel-line detail on the right wing hinge that is supposed to curve in towards the body of the jet. The reason for this missing detail is likely due to it missing from the metal mold itself.

:*''Accessory'': "Energon Warp Fork"
{{toydesigner|[[Mark Maher]] (Hasbro)|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Core Class toys, Skywarp is a redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Starscream]]. Frankly, we're surprised he didn't come ''sooner''.

: A roughly Legends-sized toy that can interact with Titan Class figures, ''Legacy'' Skywarp's sculpting is heavily inspired by his larger ''Earthrise'' counterpart, though featuring a black pelvis instead of a silver one. Instead of coming with a redeco of Starscream's Null Ray accessories, Skywarp comes with a... some kind of a tuning fork-like weapon called the "Energon Warp Fork", which can be plugged into the underside of his nose cone while in vehicle mode.

: Skywarp retains the hexagonal peg holes molded into Starscream's shoulders, so the figure can still support Starscream's Null Ray ''arm''aments. However, the Null Rays are prone to popping off when inserted into the peg holes due to their hexagonal shape. The stock render seen in the character bio (unlocked by scanning the QR code) also depicts him with both the Null Rays and the Warp Fork, with the former being removed for budget reasons. It should be noted that the Warp Fork was likely meant to have extra grey paint operations on the red paint details.

: Skywarp's head is molded in black, greatly reducing the risk of paint chipping and scratching suffered from ''Kingdom'' Starscream.

: As seen on ''Kingdom'' [[Hot_Rod_(G1)/toys#K43|Hot Rod's]] card illustration and Skywarp's instructions, the Energon Warp Fork is one of the three components of a combined sword. The horizontal 3mm post on the fork also prevents it from being adequately positioned when attached. This can be amended by slightly trimming off the post, though this method prevents the accessory from attaching to Skywarp's nose cone.

: This mold was also redecoed into Core Class [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Legacy|Thundercracker]].

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Decepticon Nemesis''' ([[2023]])}}</ul>

: A tiny [[slug figure]] of Skywarp in his Cybertronian "tetrajet" mode was included with Titan-class [[Nemesis (G1)#Legacy|Nemesis]]. Though the [[package art]] depicting this piece was actually based on the [[IP infringement|unlicensed "Prankstor" figure]] -- whoopsie!

Unlike the ''Vintage G1'' release, however, ''Retro'' Skywarp has been redecoed in colors inspired by his appearance in the original ''Transformers'' animated series, more specifically ''The Transformers: The Movie''. He remains a mash-up of Starscream's ''Commemorative Series'' and ''The Transformers Collection'' reissues, with the former's elongated null rays and cluster bombs and the latter's gun mode Megatron accessory.

===Decoy===
[[File:Decoy skywarp.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.2|Mini-wave in celebration of me! WooOOoo!]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)

:Skywarp was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Skywarp was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He is, surprisingly enough, ''not'' identical to either Starscream or Thundercracker: the stance of his legs and the position of his Decepticon symbols differ, but he is, of course, most prominently distinguished by his raised arms.

:Skywarp was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, in a peach coloration randomly packed in several box sets and with other products produced by Takara subsidiary [[Seven]], and in a wide variety of colours in "gachapon" capsule machines.

*'''Skywarp''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''33'''

: The Skywarp figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (33, in Skywarp's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

Limited to 200 pieces, he was only available as the second place prize in a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] contest held in conjunction with the first edition of ''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'' (with the "[[Starscream (G1)/toys#SecretStarscream|Secret Starscream]]" toy as the first place prize).

: However, due to the bankruptcy of the ''Transformers: Generations'' publisher, [[Keibunsha]], it is unknown whether this Skywarp was ever actually sent out or not.

: This mold was also used to make ''Super Collection Figure'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Thundercracker]] and ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' (see below) Starscream, Thundercracker, [[Sunstorm (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Sunstorm]] and the [[Air Warrior#Merchandise|Air Warriors]].

: When the ''Super Collection Figure'' line was brought to the US as ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'', Skywarp was widely released as part of the first wave. As was the standard for the line, Skywarp was made from translucent red plastic that was mostly painted over, giving him [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes. In addition, he is distinguished from his ''Super Collection Figure'' counterpart by grey knee-vents and black foot-panels, versus the respetive purple and grey applications on the original (though several samples of the figure were missing the foot-panel paint, including the one shown at the TFU link below).

The figure was delayed and never saw a full release due to [[3H Productions|3H Enterprises]] losing the license to run the official Transformers fan club. At least a couple of sample versions were produced, of those most (but not all) had the open-palm hands and the hand wielding Megatron in gun mode painted blue rather than the correct purple.

Unlike the other [[1984]] style Seekers, a Skywarp is not a redeco of the Starscream and Thundercracker figurine from the first wave (who were later redecoed to create the [[Rainmaker]] trio and [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]), but an all new mold with different construction and parts than his predecessors. He is slightly larger than the other '84 Seekers and features more moving parts. He does share some parts with the simultaneously released [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]], and fellow chase figure [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]].

:A super deformed Skywarp model kit produced by [[Kotobukiya]] as part of their franchise-spanning ''[[D-Style]]'' line. Like [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#D-Style|Megatron]] he comes with three different faces and in line with the rest of the line, comes with a mini alt mode figure, in this case an F15 jet.

:In order to get the figure looking like the promotional photos, required paint applications include coloring the screaming mouth, chest fans and panel lines, missile rack surrounds, null ray panel lines, and knee vents all in black. Eyes and cockpit come in translucent colored plastic and can also be painted to improve their look. Finally, the mini F15 jet comes as a single black piece and is missing all coloring.

**''Number:'' '''09'''
**''Additional parts/accessories'': 1 pair of Trigger-finger hands, 1 pair of open-palm hands

:Released as part of the ''Furai Model'' line by [[Flame Toys]], This Skywarp is an articulated, non-transforming, Voyager Class-sized {{w|Gunpla}}-style model kit, redecoed from the [[Starscream_(G1)/merchandise#Flame_Toys|Starscream]] mold. Skywarp is molded in primarily black, purple, and silver-ish gray ABS plastic. His translucent yellow plastic still remains. Like Starscream, his Null-rays can be detached for use as handheld blasters.

:For straight-assembly builders, Skywarp features a sheet of foil stickers for detail (notably the wings), though the kit can be panel-lined and touched-up with several panel-lining and paint markers (water/acrylic-based markers are recommended, as alcohol-based markers like ''Gundam Markers'' can potentially damage the ABS plastic). If one desires; the kit's pieces, aside from the translucent parts, can be fully coated with spray paints to recreate the finished sample seen in the stock photos.

*'''Skywarp''' (MDLX, 2024?)
**''Known designers:'' Kelvin Sau
**''Accessories:'' wing assembly, two null-ray cannons, more TBA
:A redeco of [[Threezero]]'s MDLX Starscream, Skywarp is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Skywarp is a smaller scaled, non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and faces plus accessories. He features his ever-present null-ray cannons and two dagger-like blades.

:He and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Threezero|Thundercracker]] were revealed in a [https://www.instagram.com/p/CuIrGnDSVoP/ teaser posted to Threezero's Instagram account] showcasing Starscream.

:Skywarp retains Starscream's functionality with MDLX Optimus Prime mold, specifically the detachable wings and swappable heads.

*'''Bishoujo Series Transformers Skywarp''' (July 2024)
**''Known designers:'' [[Shunya Yamashita]] (artist)

:''[[Kotobukiya]] [[Bishoujo Series]]'' Skywarp is a repaint and slight retool of [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#Kotobukiya Bishoujo Series|Starscream]] from the same line of PVC figures. In addition to being recolored in Skywarp's usual black and purple, the statue has received some minor resculpts, tweaking the face slightly and filling in her navel so she appears to be wearing a black skintight suit beneath her clothing.

:Like Starscream, Skywarp is attached to a purple display base designed after the Decepticon insignia, but she does not include any alternate headpieces like her fellow seeker.
{{--}}

==Notes==
[[File:Skywarpatron.jpg|right|upright=0.9|thumb]]
*During the development of the [[Conehead]]s, [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]] was initially planned as new wing tooling attached to an unchanged Skywarp body. This plan lasted long enough to receive [[package art]], which was published decades later in ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]''.
*In a possible fit of madness, a triple changer was proposed that would switch between Skywarp (possibly mistaken for Starscream), [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], and Skywarp's jet mode.
*In modern times, Skywarp is often the last of the three primary Decepticon Seekers to see the use of a toyline's respective Seeker mold. Consequently, his figures may become prominent [[shelfwarmer]]s at the tail end of a line's run, as notoriously seen worldwide with [[#CWLeader|''Combiner Wars'' Leader Class Skywarp]].

'''[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]''' has always looked and will always look a lot like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. There are many [[Starscream (G1)/toys|toys of Starscream]] and where there is a Starscream toy, a Skywarp toy soon follows.

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the first year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'', Skywarp transforms into an {{w|F-15 Eagle}} fighter jet, by a process which essentially involves removing and reattaching most of his plane parts. Though it is possible to do so without removing all of them, this rather piecemeal design and the fact that neither mode uses all his parts means it can be quite difficult to find an intact original Skywarp on the secondary market. He began life as a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Jet Robo", but unlike team-mates [[Starscream (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Thundercracker]], with whom he shares his mold, his distinctive black-and-purple deco did ''not'' originate in that line.

: Skywarp is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short rockets are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Skywarp's machine guns. The original ''Diaclone'' version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.

: While the earliest releases of Skywarp were basically identical to the ''Diaclone'' mold, some small modifications were soon made to the figure which became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. These included the hollowing out of the inner edges of his wings and the tips of his tail-wings, the lengthening of the pegs on his wings to make them fit more securely, and the addition of extra clips on the inner sides of his fist-gauntlets, allowing them to grip his arms better. Like all his 1984 brethren, Skywarp gained a factory-applied [[rubsign]] in 1985, which was added to the left side of his fuselage.

: Presumably by mistake, the stats on Skywarp, Starscream and Thundercracker's [[Tech Spec]]s were switched around. Skywarp's box was given Starscream's numbers, giving him a high intelligence and rank that stood in contrast to the bio printed next to them.

: Early Hasbro stock photos of Skywarp (right) show him with a plastic purple nosecone. This was changed to a soft, black rubber nosecone when the toy was actually released. However, a [http://tfarchive.com/toys/articles/toypics/mex_skywarp.jpg Mexican variant] retained the purple plastic nosecone. The same stock photos also show him with purple launchers with black triggers and muzzle rings, black feet, black shins, black outer arm panels, purple horizontal stabilizers, and both sets of purple missiles. These stock photos were also later used to promote Takara's 2001 reissue (see below).

: The Italian release of Skywarp (as "Corvo") by [[GiG]] put him in a generic "Distructor Planes" box, featuring names and tech specs for all three planes in the assortment.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstorm (G1)#Toys|Sunstorm]] and retooled to make [[Dirge (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Thrust]].

{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Sharing a mold once again with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Thundercracker]], Skywarp transforms into a white {{w|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: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' toys, Skywarp was an [[exclusive]] to [[KB Toys]] stores and related stores like Toy Liquidators.

: This toy is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the other three Basic molds in the line. Specifically, his head and inner robot parts share plastic with [[Hubcap (MW)#Toys|Hubcap]], and his jet parts share plastic with [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Mirage]], plus he shares the pearlescent-gray canopy plastic with, well, everyone.

: Curiously, Skywarp is the only Basic Decepticon to have a Decepticon symbol on him... and it's the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Decepticon symbol at that. Which is appropriate, given this mold was originally developed for ''Generation 2'' as [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Thundercracker]].

: The toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Skywarp drone]]s.

:The original Skywarp toy was reissued for the first time in 2001 as part of Takara's small "[[The Transformers: Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]]" series, which made several Generation 1 toys available as convention [[exclusive]]s. Sold in new open-faced packaging with no notable changes from the original figure, Skywarp was an exclusive at the Japanese science fiction convention "Super Festival 21", available only in a set with Thundercracker and limited to 1000 pieces. The pair are often mistakenly identified as [[e-HOBBY]] exclusives.

:The original Skywarp toy was made available again as part of Hasbro's line of [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] reissues. Released in the fourth wave of the series, it featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. His machine guns didn't turn out ''too'' bad; the missiles didn't fare so well. Rather than correct the erroneous Tech Spec numbers from Skywarp's original release, this reissue retained them and instead features a slightly re-written bio to remove the contradictions.

*'''Skywarp''' (Deluxe, 2003)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] in his Generation 1 colors. He transforms into a Cybertronic fighter jet, armed with two spring-loaded projectile launchers that can fire orange "energon" bolts. These launchers end up in his arms in robot mode. He has a third robot mode that collapses the legs around the cockpit (oh hush), with flip-out panels revealing an extra pair of thrusters. His [[spark]] crystal, albeit of the ''[[Transformers: Dinobots|Dinobots]]'' design, revealed by flipping the purple hatch on his back, has a Decepticon [[insignia]] [[tampograph]]ed on top of it, oddly facing the opposite direction from the design molded into the crystal.

:Although most previous versions of the mold have the wingtips swept forward in vehicle mode, Skywarp was packaged and depicted in his instructions with the wingtips swept back. His fictional appearances, however, use the conventional arrangement shown here.

:Skywarp was also used to make ''Beast Machines'' [[Aero Drone|Sonic Attack Jet]], ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Storm Jet (RID)|Storm Jet]], and ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Jhiaxus (RID)|Jhiaxus]].

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' product, Skywarp is, of course, a redeco of this line's Starscream. Like all toys in the series, he is a tiny, simplified version of the original Generation 1 toy, transforming into an F-15 fighter jet, with most of the accessories from the original toy faithfully translated save for his machine guns. As with all previous waves of ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'', these figures were sold [[blindpacking|blindpacked]], with Skywarp as one of the wave's two rare [[chase figure]]s

:*''Release date'': [[August 11]], 2005
:*''Accessories'': 2 rifles, 2 missile pods

: ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Starscream]] from the same series, a re-imagining of the original Generation 1 figure, retaining its basic [[Transformation|transformation scheme]], but designed to be closer to the animation model, with greater articulation and integrated parts that do not require detachment during transformation. The only pieces that now need to be removed are Skywarp's rifles, which move from his wings to his arms. He has three peg-holes on each arm, allowing the rifles to be mounted on his shoulders, on his forearms, or in his fists. These holes are also designed to accommodate the generic spring-loaded missile launcher weapon included with ''Robotmasters'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|G1 Convoy]], [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Convoy]] and [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Megatron]].

: Skywarp also came with two "missile pods" based on weapons Starscream used but once, in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "[[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain]]". These chromed accessories plug into the square holes in his chest, and feature opening covers that reveal (non-firing) missiles within.

: He was available only in a two-pack with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Thundercracker]], which also came with a Decepticon sigil pin. This set was the very last product released in the ''Robotmasters'' 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 ''Robotmasters'' sticker in the corner tab noting its origin from the front.

*'''Ultra Magnus vs Skywarp: Battle For Autobot City''' (Multi-pack, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles

: ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Skywarp is a redeco and slight retool of ''Classics'' Deluxe Class [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Classics|Starscream]], transforming into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-15 Eagle fighter jet]], though with a canopy like that of an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-14 Tomcat]]. Unlike previous (and future) figures, the shade of purple used for this figure has a more reddish tint to it. 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 can attach under his wings in vehicle mode. As with most ''Classics'' toys, he also features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

: Skywarp was slightly [[retool]]ed from the earlier Starscream figures. The retool is present in the jet intake area. The slope of his shoulders was decreased from Starscream's, and a fifth rectangle was added to the vertical area. This retooled version was used for all subsequent releases of the mold, and was also used as a [[Variant#Running change|running change]] on Starscream.

: Skywarp was only available as part of a two-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Classics|Ultra Magnus]] [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States. The set's price was $19.99, despite including both a Voyager Class and Deluxe Class mold in it, which would be approximately $30 worth of toys if they had been sold separately. The pack was also available in Woolworth stores throughout the United Kingdom.

: [[Stock photography]] of ''Classics'' Skywarp showed [[:File:Classics Skywarp toy.jpg|a more detailed color scheme]] than the actual released figure. Much like ''Classics'' Ultra Magnus, the changes were most likely due to an overabundance of [[paint operation]]s. This more detailed version was shown at [[BotCon 2006]], and at least one sample found its way to a collector's hands. The sample also used the original Starscream mold, and not the retooled version mentioned above.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-6'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Machine Guns", 2 AIM missile racks, [[Doctor Arkeville#MP6|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot, Megatron Gun clasp, display stand

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Skywarp was released in Japan in September of 2007. He is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-3 Starscream]] mold in black, gray, silver, and purple, though the purple and silver are more minimal than usual. Skywarp is able to switch between a minimally retooled stoic face and a new snarly face, retooled from Starscream's previous smirk. The tiny [[Doctor Arkeville]] [[Slug figure|pilot figurine]] (this time molded black) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Masterpiece MP-1 Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime]].

[[File:MPSkywarp stickers.jpg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|He ''admits'' to being Cyclonus? Haha, what a prankster!]]
: The sticker sheet includes Skywarp-esque stripes, as well as several whimsical squadron markings.

:The second pressing of ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp (released in October 2008) features an assembly error: his left and right pectorals are flipped. This misassembly does not affect transformation at all, and is really only noticeable when compared to prior ''Masterpiece'' Seekers. The September 2007 pressing of ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp is assembled correctly. ''Masterpiece'' Thundercracker is misassembled as well.

:It is a common misconception that the stoic face on Takara's ''Masterpiece'' Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker are the same, when all of them are in fact different sculpts.

:This mold was later used for the ''Masterpiece'' version of [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]]. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh ''Masterpiece'' figure, [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|Starscream]].

**''ID number:'' '''MP-11SW'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP11SW|Megatron Gun]], [[Doctor Arkeville#MP11SW|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot

:A redeco of the newer ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 Starscream]] mold, Skywarp features some extensive retooling to wind the ''Masterpiece'' Seeker design back into the more Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered Machine Guns attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation.

:The figure features flip-up missile racks built into his pectorals. He comes with the original version of the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Megatron gun]] that first came with ''Masterpiece'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|MP-1 Convoy]]. He also comes with a [[Doctor Arkeville#MP11SW|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figure identical to the previous MP-6 release.

:Skywarp's deco is heavily based on his cartoon appearance and features the rarely reproduced in toy form entirely purple shoulders and arm cannons. Despite the focus on cartoon accuracy in his deco, he carries over the striping on his forearms, shoulders, and pectorals similar to his original MP-6 Masterpiece release.

:As a redeco of the MP-11 release, Skywarp is ''likely'' to be plagued with the same quality control issues.

:Skywarp was only released in China via Hasbro Asia under the TakaraTomy label; marking the second time an original TakaraTomy Masterpiece toy wasn't released for the Japanese market ([[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP5G|''Masterpiece'' Megatron Gold Version]] was the first).

:On [[November 30]], [[2016]] MP-11SW Skywarp was released in Japan for the first time as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive. There are notable differences between this release and the original almost two years prior. The shade of purple used on the later release is more warm and less cool in tone. His biceps and knee flaps are now molded in black plastic rather than in purple plastic painted a glossy black. The inner portion of his upper chest is no longer painted silver mold molded in silver plastic. Many of the paint operations are also slightly different in color from the earlier Hasbro Asia release. Hasbro Asia also re-released the figure to coincide with the Japanese release.

:When purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Skywarp comes with a collector coin, mounted on a card resembling his wings, complete with his signature wing stripes. The coin was reissued in 2016, without change, alongside the figure.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-52+SW'''
**''Accessories'': 3 alternate faces, 5 effect parts, 2 null rays, 2-part display base, [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP52Plus|Megatron]] gun
:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP52|Starscream Ver. 2.0]], the second version of ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp was first announced by TakaraTomy as part of a competition—those who purchase all three Ver.2.0 Seekers will receive an add-on kit for [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP52|Starscream]]; giving him his iconic crown and cape from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. The toy's stock photography was unveiled a few months after the competition was announced.

:Skywarp comes with many accessories, including 3 alternate faces, 5 effect parts, a stand for his jet mode, a pair of null rays, and a non-transforming figure of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP52Plus|Megatron]] in his gun mode. His jet mode can half-transform into a Gerwalk-styled "Alternate Transformation" which is based on the episode ''[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]'', as seen in the figure's stock photography. Skywarp is colored in a cartoon-accurate lilac color, as opposed to the neon purple found on most of his toy releases.

:Like Thundercracker, Skywarp was released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive to Japan.

:This mold was also used to make [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#MP52|Thundercracker]].

As with all 6-inch Titanium Cybertron Heroes, he is constructed mostly of fully painted die-cast metal. He was available only at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] after the Titanium line had already been cancelled, and also Hasbro Toy Shop's booth at {{w|San Diego Comic-Con}} 2008.

*'''Skywarp''' (September 2008)

: ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Skywarp is a [[Toy Hobby Market]] exclusive redeco of ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Starscream]]. Skywarp and his fellow [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Thundercracker]] were opened for pre-order on [[May 22]] through [[June 20]], and mailed out in September 2008.

:Soon after release, there were numerous complaints from both Japanese and foreign collectors about the poor quality control for both Thundercracker and Skywarp. Skywarp's most common fault was missing paint for one of his shoulders. Some reported both toys suffering misassembly issues such as having two left or two right thighs.

:Several minor changes were made to this mold for this release. The holes for his missile launchers in his arms were widened, as were the launcher's insertion pegs. The wing's missile launcher insertion points were lengthened and are now curved at the end. The last rectangle on his air intakes was further modified from the [[Transformers: Classics|Classics]] version, this time the bottom most rectangle goes completely across the air intake's surface rather than just the center. ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Thundercracker and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Starscream also saw most of these changes.

*'''Masterpiece Skywarp''' (2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Machine Guns", 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand

: A [[Walmart]] exclusive redeco of the original ''Masterpiece'' Starscream mold. Just like Starscream, Skywarp is able to switch between two different faces. This release uses the Starscream's stoic and smirking alternate faces rather than the Takara ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp's newly-tooled stoic and snarling faces. Hasbro designer [[Joe Kyde]] felt the alternate snarling face did not fit Skywarp's prankster personality, so he went with the Starscream smirk face instead when designing the deco for Hasbro's release. As a result of gang molding, Skywarp also uses Starscream's stoic face, the decision being the difference between Skywarp and Starscream's stoic face was negligible enough not to make a significant difference. The toy also features a more G1 toy styled deco rather than cartoon-based, particularly in the yellow eye color and wing stripes. His purple more closely matches that of the original toy than the purple used on the Takara version, and features a lighter flat black, like the original toy, instead of Takara's darker glossy black. The Hasbro version replaces some of the dark gray of the Takara version with a dark silver, removes the arm and chest striping, but adds additional red detailing, while removing some as well. Much like Hasbro's Starscream, he does not feature any of the warning or slogan tampographs, but features tampographed striping, Decepticon symbols, and some additional paint details not present on the Takara version. The nosecone features black paint over purple plastic, allowing for easy customization of "Mexican Masterpiece Skywarp".
: The tiny Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine (molded in black with no paint applications) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with ''Masterpiece'' Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and a stand (featuring Skywarp's name) with a support beam for jet or robot mode.
: Masterpiece Skywarp was also available as an Argos exclusive in the [[United Kingdom]].

:Skywarp's original toy was reissued again as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series, this time in a two-pack with his erstwhile partner, Thundercracker. This release of the figure replaced his Decepticon symbol stickers with [[tampograph]]s, and changed his purple stickers to a much bluer shade. Curiously, although Thundercracker's wing stripes were replaced with tampographs, Skywarp's remained factory-applied stickers.

:Skywarp is a [[retool]] of the simultaneously released ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Alternity|Starscream]] with a different head, transforming into a licensed 1:32 scale {{w|Mitsuoka Orochi}}. Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only ''Alternity'' mold to feature [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|a fake kibble chest]].

:In car mode, small wings are ''supposed to'' be able to flip out from under Skywarp's rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath ''deforming the rims and chipping the tires''. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s ''very easily''.

:This mold, with Skywarp's head, was also used to make [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Alternity|Thundercracker]] and [[Banzai-Tron (G1)#Alternity|Banzai Tron]].

: This version of Skywarp is heavily based on his cartoon appearance. He features a glossy black, a medium warm purple, shiny metallic purple paint on most of his purple plastic, and an amber cockpit. Paint operations found on the Henkei! Henkei! release were shuffled around for the sake of cartoon accuracy, up to and including purple shoulders.

**''Accessories'': Two assault cannons, tail-fin

:Part of the eighth wave of [[2012]]-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of ''Generations: [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (WFC)#Generations|Starscream]], and transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled cannons which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from ''Fall of Cybertron''. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5 mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Skywarp features numerous 5 mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides.

:Skywarp's tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.

:Skywarp is minimally mis-transformed in-package: his jet mode nosecone is extended, rather than folded in as it should be in robot mode. He comes packaged with a copy of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[Winners & Losers: Dark Cybertron Chapter 3|''Robots in Disguise'' #23]].

:Despite using a mold matching [[Skywarp (WFC)|Skywarp]]'s appearance in ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', this toy ''technically'' represents G1 Skywarp, thanks to his [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] pack-in fiction. Consequently, the toy is listed in the former's page as a [[repurposing]]. This mold was also used for TakaraTomy's ''Fall of Cybertron'' Skywarp, itself repurposed as ''Cloud'' [[Hellwarp|Skywarp]], and as ''Generations Thrilling 30'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Thundercracker]].

:Skywarp comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''Generations'' figures, but replaces the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers". Since Skywarp and his [[wave]]-mates ship with three figures previously released under what we consider a generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2014) toy line]], all of them now in the new packaging style, we consider Skywarp to be part of that line as well.

In an unusual move, Skywarp's plastic is molded in a light charcoal gray rather than his traditional black. He includes two "HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers," which can mount on his upper arms, or under the wings in jet mode, and three Battle Master figures, Fracas, Shrute, and Terror-Daxtyl, respectively redecoed from [[Firebolt (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Firedrive]], [[Aimless#War for Cybertron: Siege|Aimless]], and [[Pteraxadon#Toys|Pteraxadon]], each with their respective Fire Blasts.

His design and transformation scheme is heavily based on his [[#Classics|2006 ''Classics'' figure]] while adding points of articulation the earlier figure did not have such as pivoting ankles, a more expressive ball-jointed head, and hinges that allow the wings to fold backward in robot mode. He uses Starscream's pre-tooled alternate head. His head and chest are susceptible to paint chipping due to the transformation scheme. While the null-rays can be wielded by his pair of hands, it's almost impossible for him to properly hold them due to the size of his forearms.

It was also available at general retail in Hong Kong. In Japan, the set was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

:Like many of the toys since the ''War for Cybertron trilogy'' line, Skywarp suffers from a case of [[photodegradation]], as his unpaintable purple pieces discolors to a maroon shade.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of the Seeker two-pack package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. The two-pack contains the unlabelled location of [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]].

:Like all other uses of the mold, Skywarp has a missing molded panel-line detail on the right wing hinge that is supposed to curve in towards the body of the jet. The reason for this missing detail is likely due to it missing from the metal mold itself.

:*''Accessory'': "Energon Warp Fork"
{{toydesigner|[[Mark Maher]] (Hasbro)|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Core Class toys, Skywarp is a redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Starscream]]. Frankly, we're surprised he didn't come ''sooner''.

: A roughly Legends-sized toy that can interact with Titan Class figures, ''Legacy'' Skywarp's sculpting is heavily inspired by his larger ''Earthrise'' counterpart, though featuring a black pelvis instead of a silver one. Instead of coming with a redeco of Starscream's Null Ray accessories, Skywarp comes with a... some kind of a tuning fork-like weapon called the "Energon Warp Fork", which can be plugged into the underside of his nose cone while in vehicle mode.

: Skywarp retains the hexagonal peg holes molded into Starscream's shoulders, so the figure can still support Starscream's Null Ray ''arm''aments. However, the Null Rays are prone to popping off when inserted into the peg holes due to their hexagonal shape. The stock render seen in the character bio (unlocked by scanning the QR code) also depicts him with both the Null Rays and the Warp Fork, with the former being removed for budget reasons. It should be noted that the Warp Fork was likely meant to have extra grey paint operations on the red paint details.

: Skywarp's head is molded in black, greatly reducing the risk of paint chipping and scratching suffered from ''Kingdom'' Starscream.

: As seen on ''Kingdom'' [[Hot_Rod_(G1)/toys#K43|Hot Rod's]] card illustration and Skywarp's instructions, the Energon Warp Fork is one of the three components of a combined sword. The horizontal 3mm post on the fork also prevents it from being adequately positioned when attached. This can be amended by slightly trimming off the post, though this method prevents the accessory from attaching to Skywarp's nose cone.

: This mold was also redecoed into Core Class [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Legacy|Thundercracker]].

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Decepticon Nemesis''' ([[2023]])}}</ul>

: A tiny [[slug figure]] of Skywarp in his Cybertronian "tetrajet" mode was included with Titan-class [[Nemesis (G1)#Legacy|Nemesis]]. Though the [[package art]] depicting this piece was actually based on the [[IP infringement|unlicensed "Prankstor" figure]] -- whoopsie!

Unlike the ''Vintage G1'' release, however, ''Retro'' Skywarp has been redecoed in colors inspired by his appearance in the original ''Transformers'' animated series, more specifically ''The Transformers: The Movie''.

===Decoy===
[[File:Decoy skywarp.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.2|Mini-wave in celebration of me! WooOOoo!]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)

:Skywarp was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Skywarp was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He is, surprisingly enough, ''not'' identical to either Starscream or Thundercracker: the stance of his legs and the position of his Decepticon symbols differ, but he is, of course, most prominently distinguished by his raised arms.

:Skywarp was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, in a peach coloration randomly packed in several box sets and with other products produced by Takara subsidiary [[Seven]], and in a wide variety of colours in "gachapon" capsule machines.

*'''Skywarp''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''33'''

: The Skywarp figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (33, in Skywarp's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

Limited to 200 pieces, he was only available as the second place prize in a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] contest held in conjunction with the first edition of ''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'' (with the "[[Starscream (G1)/toys#SecretStarscream|Secret Starscream]]" toy as the first place prize).

: However, due to the bankruptcy of the ''Transformers: Generations'' publisher, [[Keibunsha]], it is unknown whether this Skywarp was ever actually sent out or not.

: This mold was also used to make ''Super Collection Figure'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Thundercracker]] and ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' (see below) Starscream, Thundercracker, [[Sunstorm (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Sunstorm]] and the [[Air Warrior#Merchandise|Air Warriors]].

: When the ''Super Collection Figure'' line was brought to the US as ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'', Skywarp was widely released as part of the first wave. As was the standard for the line, Skywarp was made from translucent red plastic that was mostly painted over, giving him [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes. In addition, he is distinguished from his ''Super Collection Figure'' counterpart by grey knee-vents and black foot-panels, versus the respetive purple and grey applications on the original (though several samples of the figure were missing the foot-panel paint, including the one shown at the TFU link below).

The figure was delayed and never saw a full release due to [[3H Productions|3H Enterprises]] losing the license to run the official Transformers fan club. At least a couple of sample versions were produced, of those most (but not all) had the open-palm hands and the hand wielding Megatron in gun mode painted blue rather than the correct purple.

Unlike the other [[1984]] style Seekers, a Skywarp is not a redeco of the Starscream and Thundercracker figurine from the first wave (who were later redecoed to create the [[Rainmaker]] trio and [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]), but an all new mold with different construction and parts than his predecessors. He is slightly larger than the other '84 Seekers and features more moving parts. He does share some parts with the simultaneously released [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]], and fellow chase figure [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]].

:A super deformed Skywarp model kit produced by [[Kotobukiya]] as part of their franchise-spanning ''[[D-Style]]'' line. Like [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#D-Style|Megatron]] he comes with three different faces and in line with the rest of the line, comes with a mini alt mode figure, in this case an F15 jet.

:In order to get the figure looking like the promotional photos, required paint applications include coloring the screaming mouth, chest fans and panel lines, missile rack surrounds, null ray panel lines, and knee vents all in black. Eyes and cockpit come in translucent colored plastic and can also be painted to improve their look. Finally, the mini F15 jet comes as a single black piece and is missing all coloring.

:A redeco of [[Threezero]]'s MDLX Starscream, Skywarp is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Skywarp is a smaller scaled, non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and faces plus accessories. He features his ever-present null-ray cannons and two dagger-like blades.

:He and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Threezero|Thundercracker]] were revealed in a [https://www.instagram.com/p/CuIrGnDSVoP/ teaser posted to Threezero's Instagram account] showcasing Starscream.

In addition to being recolored in Skywarp's usual black and purple, the statue has received some minor resculpts, tweaking the face slightly and filling in her navel so she appears to be wearing a black skintight suit beneath her clothing.

:Like Starscream, Skywarp is attached to a purple display base designed after the Decepticon insignia, but she does not include any alternate headpieces like her fellow seeker.

==Notes==
[[File:Skywarpatron.jpg|right|upright=0.9|thumb]]
*During the development of the [[Conehead]]s, [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]] was initially planned as new wing tooling attached to an unchanged Skywarp body. This plan lasted long enough to receive [[package art]], which was published decades later in ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]''.
*In a possible fit of madness, a triple changer was proposed that would switch between Skywarp (possibly mistaken for Starscream), [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], and Skywarp's jet mode.
*In modern times, Skywarp is often the last of the three primary Decepticon Seekers to see the use of a toyline's respective Seeker mold. Consequently, his figures may become prominent [[shelfwarmer]]s at the tail end of a line's run, as notoriously seen worldwide with [[#CWLeader|''Combiner Wars'' Leader Class Skywarp]].

[[File:Tapestry San D-Go.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Where in the world is Carmen Me?]]

'''San D-Go''' (サンディーゴ ''San Dīgo'') spends most of his time tinkering around the [[Metrobase (G1)|Metrobase]]. If he's not working on the upkeep of the base's systems, he's trying to create new devices to power up his comrades in the [[Sixtrain|Train Team]], making them more effective fighters. He's also fascinated by [[Earth]] culture, to the point where he planned to marry the female [[Sixturbo|Turbo Team]] member [[Discharge (G1)|Discharge]] in a [[human]]-style ceremony... though apparently this never came to be.

Because nerds can't ever be married, you see.<ref>We kid. Mostly.</ref>

==Fiction==
===''Micromaster''===
San D-Go and the other [[Sixtrain]] Train Team members used their combined "Red Mode" to drive the [[Decepticon]] [[Sixwing]] from an excavation site at the base of a [[Mount St. Hilary|dormant volcano]]. The Train Team was forced to re-form Sixtrain when Sixwing returned, intent on stealing the prizes the Autobots had dug up. {{storylink|Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!}} Later, San D-Go reported on the bizarre dimensional tear above the Metrobase that brought the [[Multiforce]] to modern-day Earth. {{storylink|The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!}}

===''Operation Combination''===
Years later, San D-Go and the rest of the Six-team Micromasters joined [[Guard City]] and the [[Road Corps]] in defending Earth from the forces of the Decepticon High Regent [[Scrash (G1)|Scrash]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Operation Combination}}

{{note|None of the combiner team individuals ever actually show up as individuals, only as components of the combined robot modes.}}

===Train Wars===
[[File:All_Trainbots_assemble.jpg|thumb|right|"On your left."|300px]]
The [[Trainbot]]s were heavily injured fighting the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] in the form of [[Raiden]], leaving them requiring extensive repairs. Blaming himself for their condition, [[Shouki]] left the team so that his leadership would never endanger them again. Sixtrain stood watch over Shouki's elective reformatting into a spy shuttlecraft at [[Metrobase (G1)|Metrobase]]. {{storylink|Train Wars: Shouki & Daniel Chapter|Shouki & Daniel Chapter}}

Later, just as [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] seemed lost to the interdimensional incursion of [[the Fallen]], Shouki and the ragtag band of Transformers left to defend Cybertron were greeted by [[Desire]] along with [[D-Go]] and Shouki's old comrade [[Suiken]]. The other [[Trainbot]]s had arrived astride [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], bringing with them the Train Team and the [[Sixliner|Liner Team]]! Chiding his brother for being as solemn as ever, [[Yukikaze (G1)|Yukikaze]] reminded Shouki the Trainbots would always have his back. With that, on [[Windy (G1)|Windy]]'s count all three teams of train 'bots combined into the [[Trainbot Omni-Car Joint]] to chain the Fallen, giving Shouki and company time to vanquish the cosmic evil by funneling Metroplex's power through Shouki's new "Raiden" cannon mode. {{storylink|Train Wars 2}}

: Released in the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1992 (Operation Combination)|Operation Combination]]'' portion of Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' toyline, San D-Go is a [[redeco]] of [[Sixliner#Toys|Sixliner]] member [[D-Go#Toys|D-Go]], transforming into a D51 steam locomotive engine. He has a "peg" connector tab in the back of his train mode allows him to pull any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a "socket" connector. A small socket at the top of his engine mode allows him to use the Sixtrain leg piece as a roof-mounted weapon; he is the only member of the Train Team that can actually mount this piece in the proper forward-facing position shown in the instructions.

: He can also form the back to any Six-team Micromaster combined robot, as well as the chest to any of the "jet-[[kibble]]" style combiners, but his nominal placement is as the back of [[Sixtrain#Toys|Sixtrain]].

: He was only available in the complete Sixtrain box set, along with his fellow Micromasters [[Atlan#Toys|Atlan]], [[Desire#Toys|Desire]], [[Converter#Toys|Convertor]], [[Raise#Toys|Raise]], and [[Windy (G1)#Toys|Windy]].

: The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find, due to their final-year release well after Transformers had faded from relevance in Japan, and thus command some hefty prices even with the molds' later re-releases.

: In 2003, the entire Sixtrain team was re-released as the fifth ''[[The Transformers: Micromaster]]'' assortment, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, each character was extensively [[redeco]]ed, plus the decals from the original version were replaced with [[Paint operation|paint applications]]. San D-Go has changed considerably, now a dull copper train rather than jet black, now with some fairly elaborate silver striping along his entire train mode. In robot mode, he loses the complex chest deco of the sticker that covered the screw holding him together (none of the ''Micromaster'' releases have more complicated [[tampograph]] printing), instead having a solid yellow chest and lighter shades of his original plastic colors. Curiously, he has no face paint at all (just like the original), an unusual omission for this series.

: On top of this, two out of every twelve toys in the shipping/display case were all-red-plastic, minimally-painted "Red Mode" [[chase figure]]s. Even the combiner kibble was cast in red.

: The regular deco version of this toy was sold without changes in the [[Hasbro]] 2003 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line as [[Overload (Universe)|Overload]].

==Notes==
* San D-Go's name seems to be a pun on the [[California]]n city [[San Diego]]—however, his name is not ''actually'' "San Diego". "Diego" is rendered in katakana as ディエゴ ''diego'', featuring an "e" that San D-Go (サンディーゴ ''San Dīgo'') does not have. The latter part of San D-Go's name is in fact duplicated from his mold-partner D-Go, whose name was determined to be a pun based on the fact the number five is ''go'' in Japanese and he turns into a {{w|D51 steam locomotive|'''D5'''1 steam locomotive}}. Perhaps coincidentally, ''san'' is Japanese for the number three, but no one in the [[fandom]] has been able to figure out if "3-D-5" might refer to anything.
* San D-Go, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual [[bio]] information whatsoever until his ''Micromaster'' release a decade after his original ''Operation Combination'' release.

'''Windy''' (ウィンディー ''Windī'') is a splendiferous young female warrior. The baby of the [[Sixtrain|Train Team]], her mental age is roughly equal to that of a [[human]] teenage girl, making her more obsessed with love and gossip than battle. Still, she possesses a beautiful singing voice, making her the "idol" of the Autobots; it's even said that she has hidden fans among the [[Decepticon]]s!

She has a "socket" connector tab in the back of her train mode allows her to connect to any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a "peg" connector. She is unique among the [[Sixtrain#Toys|Sixtrain]] team in that she is the only one who is a completely new mold. Everyone else is a [[redeco]] or [[retool]]ing of a mold from Sixliner, while Windy shares no parts whatsoever with her "counterpart" [[Joe (G1)#Toys|Joe]].

: Windy can also form either leg of the two train-themed Micromaster Six-Team super robots (Sixtrain or Sixliner), but her normal placement is as the right leg of Sixtrain.

: She was only available in the complete Sixtrain box set, along with her fellow Micromasters [[Desire#Toys|Desire]], [[Converter#Toys|Convertor]], [[Raise#Toys|Raise]], and [[San D-Go#Toys|San D-Go]].

: The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find, due to their final-year release well after Transformers had faded from relevance in Japan, and thus command some hefty prices even with the molds' later re-releases.

* Windy, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual [[bio]] information whatsoever until her ''Micromaster'' release a decade after her original ''Operation Combination'' release.

Oiler and his [[twin]] sister Slide hailed from the colony world of [[Devisiun (planet)|Devisiun]], settled by [[Transformer]] colonists millions of years ago and subsequently evolving into a civilization of linked Transformers where each formed [[Micromaster Combiner|one half of a single alternate mode]]. Oiler and his sister were raised to believe that their pioneering forebears had "civilized" this once-verdant planet for its own good; they spent their early years playing with the [[Native Devisen|native creatures]], viewing them as backwards lifeforms whom the Transformers had "saved" from their own feral existence. {{storylink|Time Will Rust}}

[[File:ToWalkAmongTheChosen-OilerAndSlide.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|He's busy watching the Oilers on Metrotitan's sick 4K display.]]

Like the other [[Titan (group)|Titan]] colonies, the Devisiens were highly religious, and a common belief was that [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s were holy figures, wise keepers of the ultimate truths. {{storylink|Primeless, Part 2}} Shortly after Devisiun joined the [[Council of Worlds]], the twins learned of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], who eventually visited their planet in search of new recruits to help keep the peace on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Post}} Despite Slide's initial hesitance, Oiler was excited at the prospects of working alongside the Prime, following in the footsteps of their ancestors by saving [[human]]ity from itself. {{storylink|Time Will Rust}} and so both twins joined Prime on Earth at some point after the [[Ore-13]] crisis. Like the other recently arrived [[Colonist Soldiers]] they began wearing [[mouthplate]]s to emulate him. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 1: To Walk Among the Chosen|To Walk Among the Chosen}} At some point, Oiler and the other recruits traveled to [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Eukaris]] with Optimus during this recruitment tour, picking up [[Gimlet]] and [[Bump]] as fellow rookies. {{storylink|Time Will Rust}}

The new recruits got their first taste of real action when they were sent to [[Mexico City]] with [[Aileron]] in the hopes of locating a cache of recovered Cybertronian technology. They discovered that an anti-Transformer mob had set up a protest that had quickly turned into a riot. When a human protester shot [[Midnight Express (RID)|Midnight Express]] with a weapon of Cybertronian origin, Optimus summoned reinforcements. While [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]], [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]], and [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jazz]] saved the day, the new meat watched in awe. Back aboard [[Metrotitan (G1)|Autobot City]], the assembled colonists continued to laud the myriad deeds of Optimus; Oiler mentioned that he would follow Optimus no matter where the Prime traveled. Their combined hero-worship managed to annoy even Aileron. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 1: To Walk Among the Chosen|To Walk Among the Chosen}}

[[File:FutureGloriesLost-voiceoftheprime.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
After Optimus Prime made contact with the [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s, the colonist platoon badgered a recently returned Optimus with questions about the newcomers. Soundwave wasn't inclined to field their questions and told them to shut up, though Slide cracked wise partway through Soundwave's story about the [[Battle of Junkion]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}}

Oiler and the other colonists knelt as Optimus Prime returned to Earth from Cybertron, and later watched on as Optimus and Pyra Magna had a heated argument about Prime's use of the Matrix. The twins were present on the deck of Metrotitan when Optimus held a summit with several human governments... only to be interrupted when the Junkions unleashed a horde of ravenous [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 4: Dance Among the Shadows|Dance Among the Shadows}} The awed colonists watched as Optimus ordered Metrotitan to lay siege to the [[Quintesson Cruiser|Junkion mothership]], and Oiler and Slide fought to keep the Junkions off the [[Titan (group)|Titan]]'s deck. Though Oiler fought hard, it wasn't enough: a Junkion caught him by surprise and sliced his head in two. He was avenged by Slide, who blew his killer to bits. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 5: Future Glories Lost|Future Glories Lost}}

Oiler's body was subsequently laid to rest in the old [[Earth Defense Command|EDC]] base in the [[Marshall Islands|Bikini Atoll]]. This only infuriated Slide further, as it was now home to the same Junkions who had slain him. At his funeral, she lamented that, due to their linked Devisen physiology, she couldn't even transform anymore. {{storylink|The Next Day, and the Next}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
During the [[Grand Uprising]], Oiler was a squad commander in the [[74th Division]] under [[Erector (G1)|Erector]]'s leadership in contested [[Tesarus (polity)|Tesarus]]. Faced with the inevitable advance of the [[Resistance]]-allied [[Pack]], she ordered [[Strikedown]] and the rest of her squad to dig in and fortify their position before the Pack arrived. {{storylink|Derailment}}

: Released in the seventh and final year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original Hasbro ''Transformers'' toyline]] in the US (sixth and non-final year in Europe), Oiler transforms into a trailer truck that is intended to be the front half of a blue and white tanker truck that he forms with his combiner partner [[Slide#Toys|Slide]].

==Notes==
* For years, Oiler's only fictional "appearance" was in the pages of [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s 2003 ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' profile books, which established the character as male in its biographical information. In [[2016]], a ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' text story characterized Oiler as female (sans any Metro Squad colleagues), but in an odd coincidence, [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[Optimus Prime (comic)|Optimus Prime]]'' comic series introduced a male Oiler alongside a female Slide in the same month.

Like the other [[Titan (group)|Titan]] colonies, the Devisiens were highly religious, and a common belief was that [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s were holy figures, wise keepers of the ultimate truths. {{storylink|Primeless, Part 2}} Shortly after Devisiun joined the [[Council of Worlds]], the twins learned of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], who eventually visited their planet in search of new recruits to help keep the peace on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Post}} Despite Slide's initial hesitance, Oiler was excited at the prospects of working alongside the Prime, following in the footsteps of their ancestors by saving [[human]]ity from itself. {{storylink|Time Will Rust}} and so both twins joined Prime on Earth at some point after the [[Ore-13]] crisis. Like the other recently arrived [[Colonist Soldiers]] they began wearing [[mouthplate]]s to emulate him. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 1: To Walk Among the Chosen|To Walk Among the Chosen}} At some point, Oiler and the other recruits traveled to [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Eukaris]] with Optimus during this recruitment tour, picking up [[Gimlet]] and [[Bump]] as fellow rookies. {{storylink|Time Will Rust}}

The new recruits got their first taste of real action when they were sent to [[Mexico City]] with [[Aileron]] in the hopes of locating a cache of recovered Cybertronian technology. They discovered that an anti-Transformer mob had set up a protest that had quickly turned into a riot. When a human protester shot [[Midnight Express (RID)|Midnight Express]] with a weapon of Cybertronian origin, Optimus summoned reinforcements. While [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]], [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]], and [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jazz]] saved the day, the new meat watched in awe. Back aboard [[Metrotitan (G1)|Autobot City]], the assembled colonists continued to laud the myriad deeds of Optimus; Oiler mentioned that he would follow Optimus no matter where the Prime traveled. Their combined hero-worship managed to annoy even Aileron. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 1: To Walk Among the Chosen|To Walk Among the Chosen}}

[[File:FutureGloriesLost-voiceoftheprime.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
After Optimus Prime made contact with the [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s, the colonist platoon badgered a recently returned Optimus with questions about the newcomers. Soundwave wasn't inclined to field their questions and told them to shut up, though Slide cracked wise partway through Soundwave's story about the [[Battle of Junkion]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}}

Oiler and the other colonists knelt as Optimus Prime returned to Earth from Cybertron, and later watched on as Optimus and Pyra Magna had a heated argument about Prime's use of the Matrix. The twins were present on the deck of Metrotitan when Optimus held a summit with several human governments... only to be interrupted when the Junkions unleashed a horde of ravenous [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 4: Dance Among the Shadows|Dance Among the Shadows}} The awed colonists watched as Optimus ordered Metrotitan to lay siege to the [[Quintesson Cruiser|Junkion mothership]], and Oiler and Slide fought to keep the Junkions off the [[Titan (group)|Titan]]'s deck. Though Oiler fought hard, it wasn't enough: a Junkion caught him by surprise and sliced his head in two. He was avenged by Slide, who blew his killer to bits. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 5: Future Glories Lost|Future Glories Lost}}

Oiler's body was subsequently laid to rest in the old [[Earth Defense Command|EDC]] base in the [[Marshall Islands|Bikini Atoll]]. This only infuriated Slide further, as it was now home to the same Junkions who had slain him. At his funeral, she lamented that, due to their linked Devisen physiology, she couldn't even transform anymore. {{storylink|The Next Day, and the Next}}

During the [[Grand Uprising]], Oiler was a squad commander in the [[74th Division]] under [[Erector (G1)|Erector]]'s leadership in contested [[Tesarus (polity)|Tesarus]]. Faced with the inevitable advance of the [[Resistance]]-allied [[Pack]], she ordered [[Strikedown]] and the rest of her squad to dig in and fortify their position before the Pack arrived. {{storylink|Derailment}}

In [[2016]], a ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' text story characterized Oiler as female (sans any Metro Squad colleagues), but in an odd coincidence, [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[Optimus Prime (comic)|Optimus Prime]]'' comic series introduced a male Oiler alongside a female Slide in the same month.

:''Squeezeplay is a [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Squeezeplay boxart.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Rar! I'm all scary and the like!]]
'''Squeezeplay''' (aka '''Crashbash''') doesn't draw much of a line between sabotage and devastation. He considers himself an unstoppable engine of destruction, and will charge into any situation without regards to safety. He's not an idiot—he's merely harnessed the tactical advantages of brute force and intimidation. As Squeezeplay figures it, he is strong enough, tough enough, and fierce enough to plow through most battlefield fortifications and opponents without much damage, so...why not simply do that?

His [[Nebulan]] partner, [[Lokos]], was a smuggler and air pirate on his home planet before joining the Decepticons. His relationship with Squeezeplay is two-fold. On the one hand, Lokos was always a creative and crafty criminal, and so he tries to get Squeezeplay to use his head more in combat. On the other hand, though, he recognizes the sheer brutal effectiveness of his partner's methods, and so more often than not is comfortable just to let Squeezeplay have his fun.

Why mess with what works?

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
[[File:Headmasterscashandcarnage.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|That's not the way to get ahead in life.]]
Squeezeplay worked with his partners [[Horri-Bull]] and [[Fangry (G1)|Fangry]] in manipulating a group of human bounty hunters called the [[Roadjammers]] into capturing the Autobots for them. Unfortunately, the Roadjammers discovered that their human partners were actually robots in disguise. Though they did use the [[jammer]]s they were provided to capture three Autobots, the Roadjammers used a frequency splitter to jam three more Transformers—namely, Squeezeplay and his companions Fangry and Horri-Bull. The Decepticons' plans were scrapped when the Roadjammers used their jammer to control all six jammed Autobots and Decepticons to attack [[Zarak (G1)|Mr. Z]] and [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Overwhelmed, the Decepticons' anti-jammer was required to free them all, allowing Squeezeplay and the others to escape. {{storylink|Ca$h and Car-nage!}}

[[File:SqueezeplayRaptureDynamo.jpg|thumb|[[Dynamo]] sets his phasers to "butter."]]
When the Decepticons under Scorponok and [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] came to blows with one another, Squeezeplay led the charge against their foes along with [[Rippersnapper (G1)|Rippersnapper]], [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]] and Horri-Bull. {{storylink|Cold War!}} Some time later, he was with Scorponok's army when they were transferred to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Primus]] in anticipation for [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s imminent arrival. Squeezeplay helped beat back several [[Acolyte of Unicron|Unicron cultists]] before the dark god himself turned up in Cybertron's orbit. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Upon seeing the planet-sized enemy, Squeezeplay fled in fear. {{Storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

After Unicron's and Scorponok's death, Squeezeplay came under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s leadership and stood in a meeting for the joint Autobot-Decepticon government. {{storylink|Exodus!}} The coalition soon gave away and Squeezeplay joined Bludgeon in his invasion of [[Klo]]. {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}} When the newly reborn [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] arrived on Klo with the [[Last Autobot]], Squeezeplay was one of many Decepticons who tried and failed to disable him. When the Autobots reorganized with the [[Neo-Knights]] for a counter-offensive, Squeezeplay was blasted with considerable power by the humans [[Rapture]] and [[Dynamo]]. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
[[File:Arceeprimesrib.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
In [[1995]], Squeezeplay and his fellow Headmasters joined [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] in attacking the Autobots at a [[Feminist mob|feminism rally]]. He and Fangry double-teamed [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]], and then all the Decepticons joined up against Optimus Prime. However, Squeezeplay was then shot in the back by the new Autobot warrior, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]. {{storylink|Prime's Rib!|Prime's Rib!}}

The characteristics of Squeezeplay and the other Headmaster Decepticons were reviewed by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]] in a simulation watched by [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 15|Memories of Bumblebee}}

====''Regeneration One''====

{{NoteRG1}}

Twenty-one years after the battle of [[Klo]], Squeezeplay remained a member of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s forces aboard the ''[[Warworld]]''. He interrupted his commander's genocide of the inhabitants of [[Torkulon]] to deliver an important superstring-slingshot from [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}}

===Ladybird Books continuity===
[[File:Decepticons Underground Headmasters.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.85|The story's called "Decepticons Underground" because the Autobots bury them alive. No joke.]]
Squeezeplay, Fangry, and Horri-Bull operated a secret underground base on Nebulos within the "[[Nebulos Triangle]]." They maintained this secrecy by shorting out electronics and causing whoever wandered into the area to disappear... at least until Optimus Prime decided that these phenomena were probably caused by a secret Decepticon base.

Anyway, the Autobots stormed in, and [[Quickmix (G1)|Quickmix]] poured [[Nebulite]]-enriched concrete all over the fleeing Decepticons, leaving Squeezeplay and the others trapped in a living tomb. {{storylink|Decepticons Underground}}

===''Universe'' comic===
[[File:TFUjailbreak.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|You've given me a snake head, [[Dan Khanna|Dan]].]]
Hailing from [[Primax 113.23 Gamma]], {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/20}} Squeezeplay was one of the many dimension-displaced Cybertronians released from the [[Cauldron]] due to the actions of [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]. {{storylink|Escape (Universe)|Escape}} but he somehow switched places with the [[Ransack (G1)|Ransack]] of [[Primax 1108.12 Kappa]] when they returned to their home universes. Squeezeplay quickly adapted to the battles of his new universe. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/20}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
During the [[Dark Ages]], when the Decepticons and Autobots splintered into several smaller factions, Squeezeplay fell in with [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s [[Ultracon]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|War Within: The Dark Ages}} Following [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s return to Cybertron, the Decepticons were once more united under a single rule, and the Autobots were conquered. At this time, Squeezeplay was put to work as a guard in [[Internment Camp Pi]], where he overlooked the Autobot workforce as they were forced to dig to Cybertron's core. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Drift issue 1|''Drift'' #1]]}}
Squeezeplay served under [[Turmoil]] during [[Drift (G1)|Deadlock]]'s failed attempt at a mutiny. He was present when Deadlock escaped and fled from Turmoil's troops. {{storylink|Drift issue 1|Drift #1}}

After the Chaos War, Squeezeplay was one of the Decepticons who started rioting on the streets of Cybertron in celebration of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s return. {{storylink|City on Fire}}

Following the [[Quintessa (IDW)|Necrotitan]] event, the Autobot city [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] became the core of the New Iacon city-structure. Squeezeplay and many Decepticons moved out of the city into a ghetto on the outskirts. When [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]-loving [[Caminus (planet)|Camiens]] began preaching on the streets, Squeezeplay objected when [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]] took a look at their literature. {{storylink|The Transgressors}}

Decepticon rallies soon started being held again in the ghettos, thanks to [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 1: Aphelion|Aphelion}} Squeezeplay was recruited by [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] and [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] into a raid on the Space Bridge nexus, taking advantage of another Bridge node on the Autobot shuttle ''[[Ark-7]]''. The Decepticons overrode the shuttle's node, transporting as a boarding party to claim the Autobot's ship. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} After securing the vessel, Squeezeplay and the others rode it down to Earth, joining Galvatron at [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}}

Squeezeplay later defected from Galvatron and joined [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]]'s opposing Decepticon faction, which in turn allied with the Autobots to stop Galvatron. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}} He eventually took up residence on [[Sanctuary Station]]. {{storylink|Primeless, Part 2}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Squeezeplay was an immobilized Builder overseeing [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. He had become addicted to animal death sports in his twilight years, spending most of his remaining power monitoring various broadcasts for his pleasure. When the [[Resistance]] mounted an assault on [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], Squeezeplay was largely ineffectual in coordinating the Micromaster defense of the city, and was killed in an explosion. {{storylink|Head Games}}

===''Titans Return'' marketing material===
[[File:TPotTM Crashbash.jpg|thumb]]
'''Crashbash''' was an ancient [[Titan Master]] robot, traveling the early universe as support crew for the great [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s. As a gift to the civilizations they met along the way his unique spark had the power to grant powerful berserker rages to others. Ok... Anyway, upon reemerging in modern times he joined up with the Decepticons.

Crashbash, his [[robo-chicken]] thing, and Scourge tracked [[Haywire (Targetmaster)|Hyperfire]] to [[Velocitron]], and attempted to kidnap Blurr's Titan Master on the final lap of the planet's biggest race. They didn't get far before having to fight [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], Hardhead, and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|Titans Return: The Power of the Titan Masters}}

===''My Little Pony/Transformers''===
[[File:MLPTFII Elita One.jpg|thumb|left]]
Squeezeplay was one of the many Transformers brainwashed by [[King Sombra]] and sent to excavate the ancient Titan [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. When the Autobots attacked, [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] tackled him; after Sombra's spell was later broken, Squeezeplay and all the other afflicted Cybertronians returned to normal. {{storylink|Finale (The Magic of Cybertron)|Finale}}

:Squeezeplay transforms from a robot into a bipedal crab monster. His tail detaches into a handheld mace. Like the other Small Headmasters, there is a compartment in which Squeezeplay can store [[Lokos]] while in crab monster mode.

:In robot mode, like all Headmaster toys, Squeezeplay has a panel on his chest which houses a spring-loaded mini-[[Tech Spec|Tech-Spec]]-meter which gives readouts for Speed, Strength, and Intelligence. The tumbler is activated when Lokos (or any other Headmaster unit) is plugged into his neck socket. As a smaller Headmaster, Squeezeplay's power meter is on a single tumbler—so any head plugged into Squeezeplay will result in the same stats. His small size also robbed him of the door that usually hides the tech spec meters on larger Headmasters.

:Squeezeplay's box showed a picture of his gun protruding from the back of his crab mode. However, the actual toy lacks any compatible or secure attachment points for it.

:This mold was released in Japan without changes as ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' [[Cancer (G1)#Toys|Cancer]].

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist)}}
:Part of the first wave of Titan Master figures in the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' subline, Crashbash (renamed for trademark reasons) can interact with other figures from the line. As a robot he can ride on Legends Class figures in their alt modes, and can be plugged on every Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader figure. He comes with his vehicle partner, that can transform into a dragon (which can be ridden by Crashbash in bot mode), a dinosaur (which is completed by Crashbash forming its lower jaw and arms) or a gun that can be used by larger figures...although it looks like a dinosaur lying down and shooting with its butt and feet, but you can remove the Titan Master in gun mode anyway.

:The instructions had a slight error: The wing/stomach parts were shown closed in steps 6-8, even they told you to open them in step 5. Although stock renders had the dinosaur head's eyes being painted blue, the final product painted them lime.

:As with most Titan Master vehicle accessories, care must be taken with the gun mode's handle: the handle fits tightly in many 5mm-compatible closed hands, and combined with the handle's lack of metal pin running through the joint, removing it by force causes the handle to pop out of the joint. This is incredibly common when inserting the gun mode into the base modes of leader class toys like Blaster and Soundwave, whose holes are too small for Crashbash's post. Get some pliers ready.

:Crashbash was originally designed by [[Emiliano Santalucia]] as a new character, and sported an original head mode design. The mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Overkill (G1)#Generations|Overboard]] and retooled into [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Clobber|Clobber]]. Takara released the head as [[Cancer (G1)#Legends|Cancer]] along with [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Legends|Shockwave]], while its partner was redecoed as [[Butla]] and [[Servant]], [[Skullcruncher (G1)#Legends|Skull]] and [[Mindwipe (G1)#Legends|Wipe]]'s partners. The partner also served as the model for the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of the [[Diagnostic Drone#Beast Wars: Uprising|Diagnostic Drone]].

Squeezeplay, Fangry, and Horri-Bull operated a secret underground base on Nebulos within the "[[Nebulos Triangle]]." They maintained this secrecy by shorting out electronics and causing whoever wandered into the area to disappear... at least until Optimus Prime decided that these phenomena were probably caused by a secret Decepticon base.

:Squeezeplay transforms from a robot into a bipedal crab monster. His tail detaches into a handheld mace. Like the other Small Headmasters, there is a compartment in which Squeezeplay can store [[Lokos]] while in crab monster mode.

:In robot mode, like all Headmaster toys, Squeezeplay has a panel on his chest which houses a spring-loaded mini-[[Tech Spec|Tech-Spec]]-meter which gives readouts for Speed, Strength, and Intelligence. The tumbler is activated when Lokos (or any other Headmaster unit) is plugged into his neck socket. As a smaller Headmaster, Squeezeplay's power meter is on a single tumbler—so any head plugged into Squeezeplay will result in the same stats. His small size also robbed him of the door that usually hides the tech spec meters on larger Headmasters.

:Squeezeplay's box showed a picture of his gun protruding from the back of his crab mode. However, the actual toy lacks any compatible or secure attachment points for it.

:This mold was released in Japan without changes as ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' [[Cancer (G1)#Toys|Cancer]].

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist)}}
:Part of the first wave of Titan Master figures in the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' subline, Crashbash (renamed for trademark reasons) can interact with other figures from the line. As a robot he can ride on Legends Class figures in their alt modes, and can be plugged on every Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader figure. He comes with his vehicle partner, that can transform into a dragon (which can be ridden by Crashbash in bot mode), a dinosaur (which is completed by Crashbash forming its lower jaw and arms) or a gun that can be used by larger figures...although it looks like a dinosaur lying down and shooting with its butt and feet, but you can remove the Titan Master in gun mode anyway.

:The instructions had a slight error: The wing/stomach parts were shown closed in steps 6-8, even they told you to open them in step 5. Although stock renders had the dinosaur head's eyes being painted blue, the final product painted them lime.

:As with most Titan Master vehicle accessories, care must be taken with the gun mode's handle: the handle fits tightly in many 5mm-compatible closed hands, and combined with the handle's lack of metal pin running through the joint, removing it by force causes the handle to pop out of the joint. This is incredibly common when inserting the gun mode into the base modes of leader class toys like Blaster and Soundwave, whose holes are too small for Crashbash's post. Get some pliers ready.

:Crashbash was originally designed by [[Emiliano Santalucia]] as a new character, and sported an original head mode design. The mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Overkill (G1)#Generations|Overboard]] and retooled into [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Clobber|Clobber]]. Takara released the head as [[Cancer (G1)#Legends|Cancer]] along with [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Legends|Shockwave]], while its partner was redecoed as [[Butla]] and [[Servant]], [[Skullcruncher (G1)#Legends|Skull]] and [[Mindwipe (G1)#Legends|Wipe]]'s partners. The partner also served as the model for the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of the [[Diagnostic Drone#Beast Wars: Uprising|Diagnostic Drone]].

Just as with his original toy, his tail becomes a mace in robot mode, but this time his original blaster has been replaced with an all-new, non-transformable [[Browning#Legacy|Browning]] in pistol mode.

Headmaster (Animated)

{{disambig3|Headmaster}}
:''The Headmaster is a <s>L33T H4x0r</s> [[human]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Henrymastersonandhead.jpg|right|350px|thumb|All ur face r belong 2 us.]]
The '''Headmaster''' is the alternate identity of '''Henry Masterson''', a disgruntled [[Sumdac Systems]] employee who can take control of robots by replacing their heads with his [[Headmaster unit]]. He's a gigantic dork who plays too many video games and seems to have crossed the line between reality and fiction. His vocabulary is littered with slang from the internets, with terms like "n00bs" and "Total ownage!"

[[Image:Headmastertotalownage.jpg|left|200px|thumb|im in ur body shootn ur doods]]
Henry Masterson grew up tinkering with Sumdac Systems robots and got a job as an engineer for them at a relatively young age. His genius caught the attention of his superiors, and he eventually had the honor of presenting his "Headmaster" project, a human-piloted [[Headmaster unit|transforming battle suit]] that could remove and replace the heads of automatons, to [[Isaac Sumdac (Animated)|Isaac Sumdac]] himself. The demonstration went awry when the Headmaster unit proved to be too heavy for his robotic test subject, making it collapse and sending its weaponry towards [[Detroit]]. Sumdac, incensed by Masterson's plans to put his invention to military use, fired him in a fit of rage.

Masterson apparently absconded with his Headmaster prototype and went off to sulk and play with his Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robots. He decided that having his own company would be "wicked sweet", as would exacting his revenge on Sumdac. Needing a robot sturdy enough to support his control unit, he chanced upon a news report on [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]]. The emo jerk ambushed and decapitated Bulkhead and subsequently went on a rampage in the Autobot's body.

[[Image:TFA Headmaster Bulkhead body rampage.JPG|right|200px|thumb|I d00 it for teh lulz!]]
He demolished several Sumdac [[police drone]]s en route to a solar power plant. Dubbing himself "the Headmaster", he hijacked local television broadcasts to deliver his ultimatum: Unless he was paid $700 billion, personally delivered by Isaac Sumdac, he would set the [[Sidney Biggles-Jones Memorial Solar Fusion Plant|solar fusion reactor]] to overload, which would result in the obliteration of the entire state of [[Michigan]] (including Masterson himself). Sumdac arrived in a [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|tractor trailer]], accompanied by [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|his daughter]], [[Carmine Fanzone|Captain Fanzone]], and a [[Bumblebee (Animated)|small]] [[Prowl (Animated)|convoy]] of [[Ratchet (Animated)|vehicles]]. Sumdac offered Henry the money, but the Headmaster grabbed him and announced his intention to take the ransom money and destroy the city of Detroit anyway, then use the threat of future robot attacks to sell his Headmaster units to the military.

When he checked the trailer for the money, he found only the enraged head of Bulkhead. The convoy of vehicles revealed themselves as the [[Autobot]]s and engaged the Headmaster in combat. After taking a pounding from them, the Headmaster unleashed the weaponry of his control unit. He managed to corner Optimus Prime and began to slice the Autobot leader's head off. Prevented from doing so thanks to an ambush by Bulkhead's severed head, the Headmaster was soon felled by Prowl. Masterson decided to flee, but his flying Headmaster unit was knocked out of the sky by the still-disembodied Bulkhead. With the Autobots distracted by the overloading reactor, the Headmaster transformed his head unit into robot mode and fled. {{storylink|Headmaster (episode)|Headmaster}}

[[Image:Returnofheadmaster sarisroom.jpg|thumb|left|200px|I'm in ur rom, 0wn!ng ur doods.]]
Once [[Porter C. Powell]] took control of Sumdac Systems, he was quick to rehire Masterson in the interest of reaping that lucrative arms market for which Isaac lacked the taste. Powell gave Masterson Sari's bedroom as his office while in the process of kicking her out of it. Masterson was quick to make himself comfortable and started planning renovations to hook the place up for some major gameage. Powell wasn't about to let his employee just slack around, though, and put him to work on a new Headmaster Unit project, even giving him [[Tutor Bot]] and [[Sparkplug (robot dog)|Sparkplug]] to outfit with smaller Units and laser-shooting upgrades.

[[Image:TransWarped Pt1 Headmaster Starscream Pan.jpg|thumb|150px|[["Weird Al" Yankovic|If he ever meets you, he'll ctrl-alt-delete you!]] ]]
The Headmaster wanted more than just little bots to tinker with, however, and stole [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]]'s body, upgrading it as well. He would have gotten away with it, but Optimus managed to track him down, defeat Sentinel's possessed body, and take the Headmaster to justice. At least, he was ''almost'' brought to justice, until Powell showed up and wriggled his employee out of a legal loophole. {{storylink|The Return of the Headmaster}}

Furious that his Headmaster unit had been absconded with, Masterson was unintimidated when Sari returned to [[Sumdac Tower]] with Isaac in tow, informing the Sumdacs that the Autobots would return his Headmaster unit to him or "heads would roll". At which point Optimus Prime picked him up from behind and asked for clarification on whose heads would be rolling. Furious at their actions while running the company, Isaac Sumdac immediately fired both Porter C. Powell and Henry Masterson.

[[Image:TFA TransWarped Masterson captured.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Say it with us, folks: "T0t4l 0wn4g3!"]]
Enraged that he had been fired again, Masterson tracked his Headmaster unit to the mine, where he discovered [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]]'s body, ready to be taken over. After a brief fight with Bulkhead the next day, Masterson returned to Detroit, then listened in on Isaac Sumdac's phone calls. Learning that Sumdac was heading to meet Sari at [[Burger Bot]], Masterson ambushed the "happy family", only to be interrupted by Optimus Prime again. A struggle followed, destroying the Burger Bot in the process.

Finally, Prime taunted Masterson into transforming, saying that a "n00b" like him might have trouble with it. Screaming that nobody called him a "n00b", Masterson initiated a transformation, only to discover the headmaster unit was far too large to accommodate the transformation, causing his Headmaster unit to be crushed and pop off. As Starscream's body flew into the river, Masterson was captured by Optimus Prime and turned over to the police. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

Alongside [[Donny Finkleberg|Robot Master]], [[Doctor Arkeville]], [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Autobot Spike]] and a small army of [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbirds]], he stormed [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] to steal the giant robot's brain.

After having downloaded Metroplex's brain onto a floppy disk, the Headmaster attempted to make good on his escape, only for [[Carzap (BT)|Carzap]] to catch up to him. The Autobot snatched the disk from the Headmaster, and then [[G.B. Blackrock]] used his [[Circuit Smasher (Kre-O)|Circuit Smasher]] to separate him from Sentinel's body.

[[File:Squeezeplay boxart.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Rar! I'm all scary and the like!]]
'''Squeezeplay''' (aka '''Crashbash''') doesn't draw much of a line between sabotage and devastation. He considers himself an unstoppable engine of destruction, and will charge into any situation without regards to safety. He's not an idiot—he's merely harnessed the tactical advantages of brute force and intimidation. As Squeezeplay figures it, he is strong enough, tough enough, and fierce enough to plow through most battlefield fortifications and opponents without much damage, so...why not simply do that?

His [[Nebulan]] partner, [[Lokos]], was a smuggler and air pirate on his home planet before joining the Decepticons. His relationship with Squeezeplay is two-fold. On the one hand, Lokos was always a creative and crafty criminal, and so he tries to get Squeezeplay to use his head more in combat. On the other hand, though, he recognizes the sheer brutal effectiveness of his partner's methods, and so more often than not is comfortable just to let Squeezeplay have his fun.

Why mess with what works?

Squeezeplay worked with his partners [[Horri-Bull]] and [[Fangry (G1)|Fangry]] in manipulating a group of human bounty hunters called the [[Roadjammers]] into capturing the Autobots for them. Unfortunately, the Roadjammers discovered that their human partners were actually robots in disguise. Though they did use the [[jammer]]s they were provided to capture three Autobots, the Roadjammers used a frequency splitter to jam three more Transformers—namely, Squeezeplay and his companions Fangry and Horri-Bull. The Decepticons' plans were scrapped when the Roadjammers used their jammer to control all six jammed Autobots and Decepticons to attack [[Zarak (G1)|Mr. Z]] and [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Overwhelmed, the Decepticons' anti-jammer was required to free them all, allowing Squeezeplay and the others to escape. {{storylink|Ca$h and Car-nage!}}

When the Decepticons under Scorponok and [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] came to blows with one another, Squeezeplay led the charge against their foes along with [[Rippersnapper (G1)|Rippersnapper]], [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]] and Horri-Bull. {{storylink|Cold War!}} Some time later, he was with Scorponok's army when they were transferred to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Primus]] in anticipation for [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s imminent arrival. Squeezeplay helped beat back several [[Acolyte of Unicron|Unicron cultists]] before the dark god himself turned up in Cybertron's orbit. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Upon seeing the planet-sized enemy, Squeezeplay fled in fear. {{Storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

After Unicron's and Scorponok's death, Squeezeplay came under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s leadership and stood in a meeting for the joint Autobot-Decepticon government. {{storylink|Exodus!}} The coalition soon gave away and Squeezeplay joined Bludgeon in his invasion of [[Klo]]. {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}} When the newly reborn [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] arrived on Klo with the [[Last Autobot]], Squeezeplay was one of many Decepticons who tried and failed to disable him. When the Autobots reorganized with the [[Neo-Knights]] for a counter-offensive, Squeezeplay was blasted with considerable power by the humans [[Rapture]] and [[Dynamo]]. {{storylink|End of the Road!

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
[[File:Arceeprimesrib.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
In [[1995]], Squeezeplay and his fellow Headmasters joined [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] in attacking the Autobots at a [[Feminist mob|feminism rally]]. He and Fangry double-teamed [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]], and then all the Decepticons joined up against Optimus Prime. However, Squeezeplay was then shot in the back by the new Autobot warrior, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]. {{storylink|Prime's Rib!|Prime's Rib!}}

The characteristics of Squeezeplay and the other Headmaster Decepticons were reviewed by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]] in a simulation watched by [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 15|Memories of Bumblebee}}

{{NoteRG1}}

Twenty-one years after the battle of [[Klo]], Squeezeplay remained a member of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s forces aboard the ''[[Warworld]]''. He interrupted his commander's genocide of the inhabitants of [[Torkulon]] to deliver an important superstring-slingshot from [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}}

===Ladybird Books continuity===
[[File:Decepticons Underground Headmasters.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.85|The story's called "Decepticons Underground" because the Autobots bury them alive. No joke.]]
Squeezeplay, Fangry, and Horri-Bull operated a secret underground base on Nebulos within the "[[Nebulos Triangle]]." They maintained this secrecy by shorting out electronics and causing whoever wandered into the area to disappear... at least until Optimus Prime decided that these phenomena were probably caused by a secret Decepticon base.

Anyway, the Autobots stormed in, and [[Quickmix (G1)|Quickmix]] poured [[Nebulite]]-enriched concrete all over the fleeing Decepticons, leaving Squeezeplay and the others trapped in a living tomb. {{storylink|Decepticons Underground}}

Hailing from [[Primax 113.23 Gamma]], {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/20}} Squeezeplay was one of the many dimension-displaced Cybertronians released from the [[Cauldron]] due to the actions of [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]. {{storylink|Escape (Universe)|Escape}} but he somehow switched places with the [[Ransack (G1)|Ransack]] of [[Primax 1108.12 Kappa]] when they returned to their home universes. Squeezeplay quickly adapted to the battles of his new universe. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/20}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
During the [[Dark Ages]], when the Decepticons and Autobots splintered into several smaller factions, Squeezeplay fell in with [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s [[Ultracon]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|War Within: The Dark Ages}} Following [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s return to Cybertron, the Decepticons were once more united under a single rule, and the Autobots were conquered. At this time, Squeezeplay was put to work as a guard in [[Internment Camp Pi]], where he overlooked the Autobot workforce as they were forced to dig to Cybertron's core. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Drift issue 1|''Drift'' #1]]}}
Squeezeplay served under [[Turmoil]] during [[Drift (G1)|Deadlock]]'s failed attempt at a mutiny. He was present when Deadlock escaped and fled from Turmoil's troops. {{storylink|Drift issue 1|Drift #1}}

After the Chaos War, Squeezeplay was one of the Decepticons who started rioting on the streets of Cybertron in celebration of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s return. {{storylink|City on Fire}}

Following the [[Quintessa (IDW)|Necrotitan]] event, the Autobot city [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] became the core of the New Iacon city-structure. Squeezeplay and many Decepticons moved out of the city into a ghetto on the outskirts. When [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]-loving [[Caminus (planet)|Camiens]] began preaching on the streets, Squeezeplay objected when [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]] took a look at their literature. {{storylink|The Transgressors}}

Decepticon rallies soon started being held again in the ghettos, thanks to [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 1: Aphelion|Aphelion}} Squeezeplay was recruited by [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] and [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] into a raid on the Space Bridge nexus, taking advantage of another Bridge node on the Autobot shuttle ''[[Ark-7]]''. The Decepticons overrode the shuttle's node, transporting as a boarding party to claim the Autobot's ship. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} After securing the vessel, Squeezeplay and the others rode it down to Earth, joining Galvatron at [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}}

Squeezeplay later defected from Galvatron and joined [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]]'s opposing Decepticon faction, which in turn allied with the Autobots to stop Galvatron. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}} He eventually took up residence on [[Sanctuary Station]]. {{storylink|Primeless, Part 2}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Squeezeplay was an immobilized Builder overseeing [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. He had become addicted to animal death sports in his twilight years, spending most of his remaining power monitoring various broadcasts for his pleasure. When the [[Resistance]] mounted an assault on [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], Squeezeplay was largely ineffectual in coordinating the Micromaster defense of the city, and was killed in an explosion. {{storylink|Head Games}}

===''Titans Return'' marketing material===
[[File:TPotTM Crashbash.jpg|thumb]]
'''Crashbash''' was an ancient [[Titan Master]] robot, traveling the early universe as support crew for the great [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s. As a gift to the civilizations they met along the way his unique spark had the power to grant powerful berserker rages to others. Ok... Anyway, upon reemerging in modern times he joined up with the Decepticons.

Crashbash, his [[robo-chicken]] thing, and Scourge tracked [[Haywire (Targetmaster)|Hyperfire]] to [[Velocitron]], and attempted to kidnap Blurr's Titan Master on the final lap of the planet's biggest race. They didn't get far before having to fight [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], Hardhead, and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|Titans Return: The Power of the Titan Masters}}

===''My Little Pony/Transformers''===
[[File:MLPTFII Elita One.jpg|thumb|left]]
Squeezeplay was one of the many Transformers brainwashed by [[King Sombra]] and sent to excavate the ancient Titan [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. When the Autobots attacked, [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] tackled him; after Sombra's spell was later broken, Squeezeplay and all the other afflicted Cybertronians returned to normal. {{storylink|Finale (The Magic of Cybertron)|Finale}}

[[Fangry (G1)|Fangry]], [[Horri-Bull]], and Squeezeplay burst through a wall, and the three engaged the new Headmaster Autobots.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Squeezeplay''' (Headmaster, [[1988]])}}</ul>
:*''Accessories:'' Lokos Headmaster, tail/[[Mace (weapon)|mace]], [[Overrider blaster|overrider rifle]]
:Squeezeplay transforms from a robot into a bipedal crab monster. His tail detaches into a handheld mace. Like the other Small Headmasters, there is a compartment in which Squeezeplay can store [[Lokos]] while in crab monster mode.

:In robot mode, like all Headmaster toys, Squeezeplay has a panel on his chest which houses a spring-loaded mini-[[Tech Spec|Tech-Spec]]-meter which gives readouts for Speed, Strength, and Intelligence. The tumbler is activated when Lokos (or any other Headmaster unit) is plugged into his neck socket. As a smaller Headmaster, Squeezeplay's power meter is on a single tumbler—so any head plugged into Squeezeplay will result in the same stats. His small size also robbed him of the door that usually hides the tech spec meters on larger Headmasters.

:Squeezeplay's box showed a picture of his gun protruding from the back of his crab mode. However, the actual toy lacks any compatible or secure attachment points for it.

:This mold was released in Japan without changes as ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' [[Cancer (G1)#Toys|Cancer]].

:*''Accessories:'' Gun/Dragon/Dinosaur
{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist)}}
:Part of the first wave of Titan Master figures in the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' subline, Crashbash (renamed for trademark reasons) can interact with other figures from the line. As a robot he can ride on Legends Class figures in their alt modes, and can be plugged on every Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader figure. He comes with his vehicle partner, that can transform into a dragon (which can be ridden by Crashbash in bot mode), a dinosaur (which is completed by Crashbash forming its lower jaw and arms) or a gun that can be used by larger figures...although it looks like a dinosaur lying down and shooting with its butt and feet, but you can remove the Titan Master in gun mode anyway.

:The instructions had a slight error: The wing/stomach parts were shown closed in steps 6-8, even they told you to open them in step 5. Although stock renders had the dinosaur head's eyes being painted blue, the final product painted them lime.

:As with most Titan Master vehicle accessories, care must be taken with the gun mode's handle: the handle fits tightly in many 5mm-compatible closed hands, and combined with the handle's lack of metal pin running through the joint, removing it by force causes the handle to pop out of the joint. This is incredibly common when inserting the gun mode into the base modes of leader class toys like Blaster and Soundwave, whose holes are too small for Crashbash's post. Get some pliers ready.

:Crashbash was originally designed by [[Emiliano Santalucia]] as a new character, and sported an original head mode design. The mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Overkill (G1)#Generations|Overboard]] and retooled into [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Clobber|Clobber]]. Takara released the head as [[Cancer (G1)#Legends|Cancer]] along with [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Legends|Shockwave]], while its partner was redecoed as [[Butla]] and [[Servant]], [[Skullcruncher (G1)#Legends|Skull]] and [[Mindwipe (G1)#Legends|Wipe]]'s partners. The partner also served as the model for the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of the [[Diagnostic Drone#Beast Wars: Uprising|Diagnostic Drone]].

:*''Accessories'': tail/mace, blaster

:"G1 Universe Squeezeplay" is a ''heavy'' retool of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Mindwipe (G1)#Titans Return|Mindwipe]], turning into a crustacean-esque monster. He (of course) includes "[[Lokos#Legacy|G1 Universe Lokos]]" as his Headmaster, though it is not a reuse of his previous ''Titans Return'' Titan Master figure. His weapons include a mace, and a blaster that resembles [[Browning]] (though with it being silver instead of brown). The figure itself contains off-white plastics with a slightly blue-tinged face, mimicking details that [[Cancer (G1)|Cancer]] has in the ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' cartoon.

:Squeezeplay is packed in a 4-pack with [[Tarantulas (BW)/toys#United|Beast Wars Tarantulas]], [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Legacy|Prime Universe Cliffjumper]], and [[Tarn (Cyberverse)#Legacy|Cyberverse Universe Tarn]]. Said 4-pack was [[exclusive]] to [[Target]].
