Fiction
Cyberverse cartoon
During the Nemesis crew's search for the AllSpark, Skywarp was among the Decepticons who stayed on Cybertron to fight off Autobot forces. When Megatron believed Shockwave had killed the crew of the Ark, he ordered Skywarp to take the Seekers to comb through the ship's wreckage and find the AllSpark while killing any Autobot survivors before a revenge-crazed Teletraan-X interrupted him. After it was revealed that the Autobots had abandoned ship, Skywarp took part in the subsequent battle with the Autobots, opening fire on Windblade before getting shot out of the sky by Jetfire. Battle For Cybertron II
After the Great War ended in the Autobots' favor, Skywarp was among the Transformers captured by the Quintessons, who outfitted them with control helmets that placed them in a simulation loop where they took part in a parade with varying differences each time. During her presence in the Loop, Skywarp attacked Alphastrike as Lockdown walked past them. The Dead End Skywarp was eventually freed from the simulation alongside the other Decepticons thanks to the Cybertronian resistance, who got them to transform when they unleashed Air Hammers into the Loop. The Scientist
As part of a team-building exercise, Skywarp was placed in a team with Jetfire, Sky-Byte, and Rack'n'Ruin. She spent her first session being clobbered by Rack'n'Ruin before subsequent sessions proved more successful, with Skywarp slashing a drone to bits to end the round and high-fiving Jetfire. The Alliance
After the Quintesson flagship had been destroyed, the new Judge revealed himself as Starscream, who unleashed a brainwashed Croaton on the planet. Rallying behind Jetfire, Skywarp was part of an aerial attack that launched a futile attack on the Titan. Once the Quintession threat ended following Megatron's return, the Transformers formed a truce. The End Of The Universe IV
When Bumblebee and Whirl infiltrated the Decepticon half of Cybertron in search of a comatose Windblade, Skywarp was among the Decepticons who surrounded them. However, Optimus Prime was able to convince Megatron to release the trio, citing an Autobot held captive in Decepticon territory as treason. The Decepticons complied and let Bumblebee and Whirl go.

Notes
- This Skywarp is female, a departure from most versions of the character, who have traditionally been male.
- Skywarp was conspicuously absent from the first two seasons of Cyberverse. However, an early male version of Nova Storm may have originally been intended to be Skywarp.
- Mae Catt is disappointed that Skywarp never had any dialogue while on-screen.[1]
