Everyone's always in favor of saving Hitler's brain, but when you put it into the body of a great white shark, ooooooo, suddenly you've gone too far!
(Foldspace is the second Mini-Con from the left.)

Good news, everyone! The senile but brilliant scientist Foldspace has been a loyal companion to Spacewarp for years.

Ask Vector Prime

[edit]

in Aurex 006.0 Kappa, Spacewarp rescued Foldspace from the clutches of Maxa Q, earning his loyalty. With his help, she was able to break the Interstellar Marauders Mini-Con Team out of their stasis lock after she acquired the Transwarp Blaster in a high-stakes game of triad.

Spacewarp's Log

[edit]

On one early voyage, Spacewarp flew too close to a black hole, forcing Foldspace to step in and save both of them from getting crushed. They survived the experience, but wound up in another universe, where Cybertron was a rocky wasteland named Skalorr. Things went bad after the native Terrakors betrayed them. Foldspace was subdued by the Terrakor's villainous human compatriots for dissection. Foldspace managed to escape the humans, and travelled to the nearby Protecton camp. There, he convinced Argus, their leader, to come to the rescue. The two of them travelled back to the Protecton's base, the ruined city of Zanador. Foldspace stayed behind while Spacewarp and the Protectons set off to repair the Compu-Core. After the Compu-Core was repaired and the Terrakors routed for the time being, Foldspace left Skalorr with Spacewarp, returning to their home dimension after a series of wacky adventures.

Foldspace was with Spacewarp when she was dimensionally displaced to Nexus 208.0 Epsilon. After Spacewarp received a visa to travel off-planet, Foldspace and the Interstellar Marauder Team were with her when she responded to Galaxy Shuttle's distress call. Foldspace tracked Galaxy Shuttle's attacker to one of the smaller moons of Frellus IV. The five-team then boarded the ship of Dren'ead to rescue Vector Prime and Scorpia. They hightailed it as soon as possible but ended up returning when it turned out that Dren'ead was merely an alien toddler desperately trying to help his sick father Dren'strm. After Dren'strm was healed, he apologized for the trouble and then talked a bit about science with Vector Prime and Foldspace before Spacewarp and her Mini-Cons departed.

Universe (2003)

[edit]
  • Spacewarp (Ultra Class, 2004?)
Foldspace was repurposed from the unreleased Universe incarnation of Comettor.
Universe Spacewarp was a planned redeco of Armada Ultra-sized Jetfire, slated to come with a redeco of Comettor and the Space Mini-Con Team. Judging from Universe Ramjet and Sunstorm each being packaged with four redecoed Mini-Cons whose names were unchanged, Comettor would presumably have retained his name, albeit with a faction switch to Decepticon.
This set was initially intended as a Toys"R"Us exclusive but was shelved because no retail chain ultimately ended up wanting to carry it. Spacewarp was among several proposed exclusives that were ultimately put into retail limbo during the waning of the Universe line.
In 2007, the Spacewarp concept was modified and revived as Timelines Astrotrain, one of the first exclusives available for purchase from the Transformers Collectors' Club. Nearly identical to the canceled Universe version of Comettor, Astrotrain's Mini-Con partner was named Starcatcher.

Notes

[edit]
  • Spacewarp and all of her Mini-Cons have names deriving from fictional methods of FTL travel. Foldspace has been used in a variety of books and series, notably [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Dune (novel)|{{#if:Dune|Dune|Dune (novel)}}]], [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Robotech|{{#if:||Robotech}}]], and, ahem, Transformers.
  • According to Jim Sorenson, his personality was loosely based on [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Futurama|{{#if:||Futurama}}]]'s Professor Farnsworth.<ref>Post by Jim S on the Allspark Forums, 2017/08/28</ref>
