You can't see me!

_{This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.}

What's Skywarp's deal? Who knows? in his animated appearance, he stays to his G1 roots, appearing, along with Thundercracker, Skyfire, and an unnamed yellow seeker, presumed to be Sunstorm, to be redecos of Starscream, and all appear in A Bridge To far.

Toys

Transformers Animated

• Skywarp (Voyager, 2009)
  • Accessories: 2 missiles

A redeco of Voyager-class Starscream, Skywarp transforms into a futuristic, forward-swept wing fighter jet based upon the Su-47 (S-37) Berkut Experimental Fighter and the YF-19 "Alpha One" from the series Macross Plus. This shape allows him to have his faction symbols right-side-up on his wings in robot mode. He features a pair of spring-loaded missile launchers, available in both robot and jet modes.

Trivia

• Skywarp was announced as a toy at BotCon 2008's Hasbro toy panel. The Hasbro presenters were pretty insistent that he was developed as a non-show character, simply a way to re-use the Voyager Starscream mold.

• Later in the weekend during their designers panel, they revealed a "concept colors" illustration to show that they considered the redeco potential of their molds early in the development process. This illustration showed line-art of Animated Starscream in both Skywarp and Thundercracker-inspired colors. This (of course) has led some fans to conclude OMFG THEY MAKING THUNDERCRACKER... but at no point did Hasbro ever say they were, merely that his deco was among the options they looked at (which is a big "no duh").

Spoiler warning: Plot details for A Fistful of Energon follow. Please give an expiry date ({{spoiler|(story)|DATE}}) - either the date of the next episode/issue in the series or 30 days after release, whichever is sooner

• In the Transformers Animated show, Starscream develops a horde of clones to do his bidding. There has been zero indication that Skywarp is among their number, or that he will even appear in the show at all.
