Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

Jump Drive and his teammates Boom Tube and Starburst were frozen in stasis lock in their combined form. Spacewarp won them as the prize in a game of high-stakes Triad held on Monacus. When she and Foldspace revived the team through the use of proton energy, the team swore allegiance to her. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/17

Toys

Universe (2003)

Universe Spacewarp was an unproduced 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. In 2015, this unused deco became the basis of the separate character Jump Drive.
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.
Ultimately, the Spacewarp concept was revived in 2007 as Timelines Astrotrain, one of the first exclusives available for purchase from the Transformers Collectors' Club. By this point, however, the Space Team molds were too worn out and were thusly replaced by a redeco of the Giant Planet Team as the Sabotage Team.

Notes

  • Spacewarp and all of her Mini-Cons have names deriving from fictional methods of FTL travel. Jump Drive's name has been used in science fiction for decades, notably in the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Foundation series|{{#if:Foundation series|Foundation series|Foundation series}}]].
  • According to Jim Sorenson, his personality was loosely based on [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Futurama|{{#if:||Futurama}}]]'s Hermes Conrad.<ref>Post by Jim S on the Allspark Forums, 2017/08/28</ref>
