Skywarp is a Decepticon from the Transformers: Prime continuity family.

"He ain't the sharpest knife in the... place where they... keep the knives..."

One of the Seekers, Skywarp isn't exactly the brightest Decepticon around and constantly requires supervision. He's rather immature, stubborn, cowardly, and prone to insults (giving less-than-witty ones and receiving ones he doesn't even notice, sometimes from himself)...but at least he's got cloaking abilities. Maybe that's why he's kept around. Sounds familiar, for some reason...

Wait, are you calling us fools or the Autobots fools? Because I get the feeling you don't respect me!Skywarp, airing workplace grievances, Transformers: War for Cybertron

Fiction

Exodus: The History of the War for Cybertron

When Decepticons bombed Altihex Casino, Starscream told Sentinel Prime that Skywarp and Thundercracker were his trusted lieutenants and that they would take him to safety. They actually took him to Kaon Prison. Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron

He's not mentioned afterwards, but he must have been in every scene where the Seekers are present.

Voice actor: Richard Epcar (English)

Megatron sent Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp to activate Cybertron's Energon Bridge, allowing Megatron to create more of his Dark Energon. The Seekers went through Cybertron's underground, which Thundercracker commented he'd never done before, prompting mockery from Thundercracker. They hijacked an Autobot ship, and when Skywarp took offense to Starscream's comment that the Autobots were "dumber than him!", he tried to make a comeback, but ended up only looking more foolish. When they flew through reservoirs of raw liquid energon, he played down Thundercracker's warning that the stuff was extremely volatile in that state. At another point, he took issue with Starscream's constant belittling, even though he wasn't sure it was him being belittled. (It was.) Despite Skywarp's constant bickering with his partners (in one instance, unintentionally calling himself ugly), they made it deep into Cybertron's underground, where they found the energon bridge's main controls. There, they they attempted to reactivate it while simultaneously corrupting it with Dark Energon, only for its guardian machine to activate in response, attempting to cleanse the corruption. A tense battle against the relentless machine ensued, with the three of them dodging fireballs, evading energy beams, and taking potshots at the core when it overheated and needed to open up to cool off. Finally, the sentinel was destroyed, the corruption allowed to proceed apace, and the bridge activated. Skywarp was, for once, quicker on the uptake than Thundercracker, commenting on the sight only for Thundercracker to all but parrot his words a moment later. It might have been the crowning achievement of his life.

Later, the Seekers helped distract Omega Supreme in order to protect Megatron. Transformers: War for Cybertron
