Fiction

- Voice actor: Nicole Dubuc (English), Karol Silveira (Brazilian Portuguese)
Part of the Decepticons who travelled to Earth, Skywarp fell under Shockwave's command when Megatron defected to the Autobots. When the Autobots attempted to return the AllSpark to Cybertron, Optimus Prime hitched a ride on Skywarp's jet mode. Though Nova Storm attempted to shoot the Prime off, she instead caused Skywarp to crash. Warzone
Stranded on Earth following the destruction of the space bridge, Skywarp and Nova Storm fell into the employ of Dr. Mandroid, being ordered to bring him Optimus Prime's left arm. Though Skywarp managed to begin cutting into the Prime, she was clipped by Megatron's rotors. When the two leaders began arguing about G.H.O.S.T., Skywarp teleported out from beneath Prime's axe, freeing Nova Storm and flying off. Upon returning to an angry Mandroid, the human decided that their next mission would be as bait.
Using holograms to pass himself and the Arachnamechs off as G.H.O.S.T., Mandroid lured Megatron and Dot Malto to a rail yard where the Seekers were pretending to be prisoners. After Megatron was bound, the Seekers carried him back to Mandroid's base. To bring Optimus Prime to him, Mandroid gave Skywarp Malto's badge to show to Optimus. Upon picking up Optimus' signal, Skywarp teleported the Emberstone out of his hand, replacing it with Malto's badge. When the Emberstone began pulsing, Skywarp was hit by Thrash's shield, dropping it, before the Seekers unleashed their Arachnamechs. After the Terrans and humans had retreated, the Seekers fought the Autobots, Skywarp being defeated by Bumblebee. Age of Evolution, Part 1 After placing them in bondage, Optimus called G.H.O.S.T. to collect the Seekers. Hashtag would later claim to be Skywarp's former "bad guy school" roommate Sparkleplug in an unsuccessful attempt to deceive Mandroid. Age of Evolution, Part 2
Toys
EarthSpark
- Skywarp (Warrior, 2023)
- Part of the first wave of EarthSpark Warrior-class toys, Skywarp is a redeco of the Cyberverse Starscream toy, converting from robot to jet and back. Her Action Attack gimmick is activated by winding up a spring in her waist and releasing the upper part of the figure, allowing it to spin and flip out its spring-loaded wing blades with centrifugal force. The waist can be locked in place by pegging her landing gear onto a peg on her backside. Additionally, she has non-firing blasters molded into her forearms with 5 mm post hole hands.
- For unknown reasons, this toy's deco is not show-accurate and features a shade of blue in place of the correct purple, resulting in a toy that more closely resembles the Shattered Glass incarnation of the character more than the one it was created to represent.
