Spacewarp is a Decepticon from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family (via the 2003 Universe toyline).
She assures us. The faceplate. Comes. Off.

It's not that Spacewarp tries to be arrogant... it's just that she's really quite good at what she does, and she won't let you forget it. A gifted flier with a space-capable alternate mode, Spacewarp's travelled the length and breadth of the galaxy and consequently fancies herself something of a swashbuckling adventurer. There's nowhere in the galaxy that she won't go, and no planet or culture too weird for her to explore. Spacewarp's inseparable Mini-Con companion Foldspace keeps her company during her long voyages. More recently, she's teamed up with the Interstellar Marauders; when they're not combining into the Transwarp Blaster, her "crew" keeps her company on her lonely voyages through uncharted territory.

Although Spacewarp tries to stay out of trouble when she can, circumstances have a way of quickly getting out of hand, invariably roping her into yet another madcap adventure. Even though she's nominally a Decepticon, Spacewarp has often found herself performing good deeds on her many voyages. She's admitted a grudging respect for the Autobots, once you can get past their holier-than-thou attitude and their tendency to judge Decepticons on sight.

With a cy-gar in her mouth and the power of the Transwarp Blaster on her side, there's nothing in the universe that she fears.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

In Aurex 006.0 Kappa, Spacewarp rescued Foldspace from the clutches of Maxa Q, thus earning his loyalty. She got her hands on the Maelstrom Exchequer on planet Sargasso, then used it as the buy-in for a high-stakes game of Triad being held on Monacus. Despite playing against such powerhouses as Initial T, Lord Delerious, Senator Feh'd of the Dominion of Mirtonia, the Blood Tyrant Gastrathrameferous III of Shi-La, Mobedyar Daggerthrust the Lesser of Vestum Minor, and Sideways, she managed to bluff her way to victory, earning the Transwarp Blaster as her prize.

With the help of Foldspace, she was able to break the Interstellar Marauders Mini-Con Team out of their stasis lock with proton energy, enabling them to once again exist as individuals. Boom Tube, Starburst, and Jump Drive pledged their loyalty to her in gratitude.

This crew went on to menace Vector Prime while he was attempting to aid Primus in warding off the dark matter spewing forth from the Unicron Singularity. Despite having no innate ability to travel through time or dimensions, she was able to lock on to Vector Prime and follow him when he attempted such maneuvers. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/17

Spacewarp's Log

Owing to the non-linear nature of the column, the exact chronology of Spacewarp's adventures isn't clear. We've opted to mostly order them by the date that they were published.

In her youth, Spacewarp was a far more innocent bot, naïve to the ways of the universe. She originally worked for Megatron as a long-distance scout, although thousands of years of being alone had already caused her to start questioning Decepticon extremism. On one mission, she was tasked with tracking a group of Mini-Con deserters. The trail led her to Tasmos, where she encountered a holographic fleet of ships and Medulus—an organic alien who had abandoned his physical body along with the other Tasmians. The Tasmians provided her with some upgrades, although she declined to talk about just how they'd upgraded her body. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/30

Spacewarp was stranded for several million years on the war-torn planet of Purgatory, where she turned the perpetual war in favour of the Gadreel. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/27

Spacewarp had many adventures between the end of the Powerlinx Battles and the beginning of the Unicron Singularity crisis. On one of her more notable adventures, she encountered Dinosaur Ace and Gorilla Ambrosius, defenders of the planet S'elar. The three teamed up to take down the nefarious Prince Diabolicus, who had cursed the sector with a Chrono-Hex. Spacewarp would cross paths with Dinosaur Ace later on. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/31

Another time, she encountered Thunderblast, Ransack and Crumplezone in the Spensifax System. The two fem-bots stole the schematics for a RISK, and wound up on the run from the two dimwitted Velocitronians. Spacewarp eventually got away with the plans, and Thunderblast patched things up with her friends. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/28

On Dykayra, Spacewarp stumbled across a Cybertronian cult who worshipped the "Ultimate Warrior". One thing led to another, and before long she found herself tied up as part of a ritual sacrifice to their living god. Spacewarp managed to bluff her way out of this sticky situation by demanding to face the Ultimate Warrior in combat. After turning the Ultimate Warrior's flock against him, Spacewarp fled the scene but bumped into Fracture's ship before she could escape. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/28

After a misadventure on Tetra Gar, Spacewarp bummed around on Serton for a while. The native robots begged her to investigate rumors of sea monsters kidnapping the locals. Spacewarp discovered the ruined city of Sertlantia, which had been repurposed into a base by a group of rogue Insecticons. Their leader, Chromhorn, was attempting to salvage the Temporal Analysis & Replication Dampening Interference Subjugator using kdinapped slaves. Spacewarp tricked him into merging with the machine, ending the menace. She got a useful Sertlantian time window out of the adventure. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/29

On another adventure, Spacewarp was tracking down Pya'dorus the Pitiless, a search which took her to Tharkoros II. She discovered that Pya'dorus had made a deal with the native Clonemasters to create thousands of duplicates of himself. Realizing that she needed to find the original, she headed to the Clonemaster's sanctum. There, she discovered that Pya'dorus had created a remote-controlled clone of Spacewarp, forcing the Decepticon to battle against her doppelgänger. Spacewarp triumphed after tricking her doppelganger into smashing the cloning apparatus. The thousands of Pya'dorus clones developed sentience and immediately began trying to off one another and the Clonemasters. Spacewarp was unmoved by the Clonemaster's protests that she'd ruined their civilization. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/31

While in the Moldavite system, Spacewarp worked as a mercenary. While patrolling the planet Pellucidus, she discovered a secret civilization of subterranean Moldavites inhabiting the lost world of Inner Pellucidus. She was taken hostage by Teximite Morbidius and his warband of rowdy bugboys. Before they could hang her, she was resuced by a group of Valkyries and brought back to their queen, the Autobot Chromia Spacewarp's Log (2), 2015/11/07 Spacewarp dueled the Autobot, but wound up rescuing her. The two opted to join forces in their fight against the bugboys, deposing Teximite and brokering peace between the male and female Moldavites. Using some gurunium, the two Cybertronians escaped the inner world and returned to the surface. Spacewarp's Log (2), 2015/11/14

On another adventure, Hourglass sent her to 31st century Earth. There, she encountered King Arthur and the Spectral Knights, who were waging war against the Inhumanoids and Darkling Lords. Although they believed her to be an enemy at first, Spacewarp and the Spectral Knights formed alliance. Using her alternate mode, she ferried Ramak and Galadria up to the moon, where they rescued the twin infants of the Lunarian Queen Mahina from the Darkling Lord Braxe. Spacewarp's Log (2), 2015/12/05

While on the planet Regalis III, what should have been a simple trip to buy some black market power converters turned into a battle to save the galaxy, pitting Spacewarp against a crazed cult intent on opening a portal to another dimension. Spacewarp saved the day, but she had to pay full price for the converters. Spacewarp's Log (2), 2015/12/12

On the steampunk world of Varus VI, Spacewarp found herself on the wrong end of a local mob boss. It looked like the end for her, but she was saved by Odysseus, a human hero who had attained immortality through a series of improbable adventures. Spacewarp's Log (2), 2016/01/17

Spacewarp was searching for the enigmatic Bombshell when she flew too close to a black hole. Foldspace's quick thinking saved them both from being crushed, but unbeknownst to either they had emerged in a different universe in the 22nd century. When they returned to where Cybertron should have been, they discovered a rocky planet in its place. Before she could process this, Spacewarp was attacked and nearly shot down by a nearby Ejoornian ship, only to be saved by a group of primitive-looking mechanoids. They introduced themselves as the Terrakors, and as thanks Spacewarp carried them and their human companions back down to the planet, which they called Skalorr. They filled the Decepticon in on their history, and Spacewarp noted that as a Decepticon, she felt a kinship with the villainous cyborgs. Before she could find a way back to her home reality, however, she was double-crossed by the Terrakor leader Nemesis! The Terrakors' human allies pinned down Foldspace while she herself was surrounded by the Terrakors.

Although Foldspace managed to escape and fly away, the Terrakors dragged Spacewarp to an abandoned laboratory, intending to dissect her and use her as spare parts. Before Tyrannix and Gaxon could begin the procedure, the heroic Protectons, whom Foldspace had convinced to help, intervened, easily defeating the Terrakors. Spacewarp, Foldspace, and the Protectons retreated back to the ruined city of Zanadon. Once again, Spacewarp tried to leave—but this time, the Compu-Core, the source of all Robotix, had malfunctioned. Unable to live with the guilt of letting two sentient races die on her watch, Spacewarp pledged to help repair the Compu-Core with parts from a nearby computer lab. Spacewarp and Bront guarded the lab while Nara and the humans investigated. They discovered, however, that the Terrakors had reached the lab first, and had turned its machinery against the Protectons! Spacewarp's Log (2), 2016/01/23

Spacewarp helped repulse the Terrakors from the lab, but damaged her engines in the process. And without the right tools to replace the circuit sphere, the Protectons would need to search elsewhere. The team set up camp for the night, only to be attacked by over a dozen ape-like mutants, who took Sphero and Bront hostage. Spacewarp and Tauron managed to sneak in and spring the duo from the clutches of the monsters. On returning to Zanador, the group discovered that Argus—leader of the Protectons—and the skeleton crew they'd left behind had been ambushed by the full force of the Terrakors. Luckily, Spacewarp's engines had repaired themselves overnight, and her airborne alternate mode helped turn the tide. After the Compu-Core was repaired, Spacewarp finally managed to leave Skalorr behind, but not without wishing Argus and his forces well in their continuing battles against the Terrakors. She managed to return to her native dimension after a wild adventure involving all sorts of bizarre characters (but she assured us it'd be nothing we find interesting).

Once she ended up in Axiom Nexus, she took a job as a fill-in host for ANN's Ask Vector Prime column until such time as she could bamboozle her way off-world. Among her exploits include getting Armored Corps drunk so she could rob him. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/27 On another adventure, she helped her friend Treadbolt bamboozle local crime boss B'hgdad, stealing a mythical Bird statue for herself. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/29 She, Treadbolt, and Strika were known to hit the town together. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/31

After the Shroud wrecked dimensional travel, Axiom Nexus expedited visas for space-capable travellers like Spacewarp and she took the chance to fly off. Soon after being voted the second-best guest host of Ask Vector Prime, she agreed to report on her exploits exploring the galaxy to ANN. This was to be of great value to Axiom Nexus's stellar cartographers (and for ratings). Ask Vector Prime, 2015/11/03

Spacewarp's Log earned her loadsamoney and a safe harbour in Axiom Nexus! A series of adventures and recaps of multiverse-hopping adventures ensued, including saving Vector Prime, Scorpia, and Galaxy Shuttle one time. Spacewarp's Log (2), 2015/11/22 In the end, rescuing Galaxy Shuttle a second time led her to an ancient, dying crystalline alien called Physis, who wished to be euthanized before Parthinian Raiders could exploit it. In return for this service, she was given a brief portal in which she could return home to her own universe. Spacewarp and her Minicons debated over whether to abandon all their friends in this universe or never see their home again... Spacewarp's Log (2), 2016/01/31

Of Masters and Mayhem

The Mini-Con Spacewarp, a "displaced explorer", partnered with Megatron as part of a Double Pretender. He valued her ability to create space bridges and become the powerful Transwarp Blaster. Double Pretender Megatron bio

Toys

Universe (2003)

She's built like a steakhouse but she handles like a bistro.
  • Spacewarp
Spacewarp was an unproduced Universe store exclusive, a redeco of Armada Jetfire slated to come with a redeco of the Space Mini-Con Team as well. Even though she was initially intended as a Toys"R"Us exclusive, no retail chain ultimately ended up wanting to carry her, so Spacewarp was shelved. She was among several proposed exclusives that were ultimately put into retail limbo during the waning of the Universe line.
This concept was ultimately released, albeit modified, as one of the first exclusives available for purchase to Transformers Collectors' Club members as Astrotrain, though with a redeco of the Giant Planet Mini-Con Team instead of a redeco of the Space Mini-Con Team.

Notes

  • Although it has not been made explicitly clear in fiction, the iteration of Spacewarp mentioned in the 17 September 2015 entry of Ask Vector Prime appears to be the same iteration who guest hosted Ask Vector Prime as Spacewarp's Log.
