Fiction

SD SG

Starscream convinced Skywarp to accompany him on a "neat information retreat" to Earth, only for the Decepticons to find themselves with insufficient fuel cells. Skywarp complained to Starscream about this lack of foresight, as it would leave him unable to finish his book before their power ran out. Sure enough, their base's lights then went dark. Thankfully, a solution was at hand: Thundercracker was called in, illuminating the room with his garish color scheme. SD SG #4

He gathered with the others for Megatron's speech, then charged into battle with the others before retreating back to Cybertron with the other surviving Decepticons on Megatron's order.

Notes

Staring blankly ahead. Forever.

• Skywarp first appeared on the BotCon 2008 "One Generation Shattered" lithograph in which he, like Shattered Glass Starscream (and Thundercracker on the litho), is modeled on the Cybertron Starscream toy, but in different colors.
• By contrast, "Epilogue Two" gives Skywarp a body modeled on the Unite Warriors Ghost Starscream toy in the colors of Cybertron Skywarp.
• In IDW Publishing's comic, Skywarp is a virtual redeco of the Siege Starscream toy on Cybertron and the Earthrise Starscream toy on Earth.
