Skywarp's original tech spec bio indicated that he was a master of sneak attacks, using his teleportation abilities to cause mayhem amongst the Autobots — and his fellow Decepticons when playing malicious pranks. However, his relative lack of intelligence means he needs to be constantly monitored by his superiors
Megatron andStarscream , or else he would be useless.According to original tech spec notes written by
Bob Budiansky , found at Iacon One in 2006, the tech spec numbers were swapped for Starscream and Skywarp, butThundercracker 's were correct. Additionally, it was originally planned for Skywarp to have an Intelligence rating of 4 (changed to 7), but when Skywarp and Starscream's specs were swapped, Skywarp was given a rating of 9, in complete opposition to his tech spec which said he was not very smart. [ [http://www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=7899&f_cat=&f_year=&f_keyword=bob+budiansky New Info about G1 discovered at Iacon One ] ]Animated series
Skywarp was the first Transformer to awaken on Earth in 1984, and he helped bring Megatron and the other Decepticons back online. After laying dormant for four million years, he was reformatted to share the same Earthen appearance (an
F-15 Eagle ) asStarscream andThundercracker , and was usually allied with them during attacks. During his first days on Earth, he soon showed his teleporting power to battle withIronhide and Bluestreak.Although a popular character in the Transformers universe, Skywarp seldom showed much function other than being a loyal Decepticon soldier, although he did seem to take a perverse joy in praising Megatron's brilliance as a leader in front of Starscream. Skywarp also appears to be the least-known Decepticon amongst the Autobots; while Starscream addresses him by name in "Roll for It", Optimus Prime only calls him by name in "Divide and Conquer".
Despite having very few functions, those few were a key part in those episodes. Examples include when he lost self control because of
Chip Chase while holding super energized Megatron ("Roll for it"); When guarding the Andes Mountain he left to aid the other Decepticons in stealing the steel they needed, leaving Starscream and Thundercracker alone to guard the mountain ("Fire in the Sky"); he used his his teleporting ability to teleport over the Autobots when racing in the Autobot Run and successfully hit them with the laser, forcing them to remain in vehicle mode ("The Autobot Run"); and when he was forced by Starscream to teleport him to Cybertron with the spacebridge, so that he could steal imprisoned personalities to create theCombaticons ("Starscream's Brigade").In multiple episodes Skywarp is seen along with Thundercracker and Starscream to successfully attack Earth military in dogfights while in jet mode.
In the episode, "The Immobilizer", Skywarp attacked the Autobots with his "Bouncer Bomb," but it went wild and had to be destroyed by Megatron in pistol mode. This is the only time this ability has ever been seen in Transformers fiction.
In 2005, Skywarp was among those whom were thrown into space after being wounded during the battle for
Autobot City . Adrift with Megatron and other wounded Decepticons, Skywarp encounteredUnicron . Unicron used Skywarp's battered body to create one of Galvatron's new warriors. Skywarp arguably becameCyclonus , the loyal second in command ofGalvatron , although there is controversy about this due to animation inconsistencies. [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/c7c62ffe6e2bd95d]Skywarp made a cameo in the pilot of the series on a historical video being viewed by Optimus Prime. This historical video was stock footage from the original animated series.
Marvel Comics
Skywarp was amongst those Decepticons ordered by Megatron to greet the new Decepticon arrivals from Cybertron. However, the arrivals ended up being Blaster and his team of Autobots. Megatron was about to attack when he heard a plea from Soundwave and Shockwave who were being attacked by Optimus Prime. Ignoring their cry for aid, Megatron instead led his Decepticons to the "Ark" which he believed to be defenseless. It wasn't — the Autobots' "secret weapon,"
Omega Supreme was guarding their headquarters soundly defeated the Decepticons, destroying Skywarp first. Losing Skywarp and the other Decepticons meant nothing to Megatron, who said they could easily be replaced.During
Galvatron 's first trip from the future to the year 1986 (to defeat Unicron), Skywarp played a part in the future Autobots' plans to trick Galvatron into returning: Skywarp was still deactivated from his previous battle and was lying in the "Ark" along with the other defeated Decepticons. However, his body was painted to resembleStarscream and set up to be operated under remote control by the Autobots to trick Galvatron into thinking that Starscream had destroyed his machinery. A furious Galvatron destroyed what he believed was Starscream in a blind rage, but because Starscream played a role in Galvatron's creation, Galvatron believed that whatever actions he performed in the past would have no effect on his or Unicron's future and subsequently returned to his own time, unaware that he was tricked.Skywarp was presumably rebuilt at some point, placed back into cold-storage and eventually rescued, along with the other captured Decepticons, by the
Constructicons , who used a distraction to break into the "Ark" for that purpose. Skywarp (and Thundercracker) were ultimately destroyed by theUnderbase -powered Starscream and was never seen again in the G1 comic. However, the "" comic showed a black Decepticon jet using teleportation powers. It is unknown if this jet was a repaired Skywarp.Skywarp's expanded "Transformers Universe" biography describes him as having a cruel sense of humor and that he loves to play
practical joke s on his fellow Decepticons, usually involving his teleportation abilities. The bio also states that he's "not too bright and would be totally useless without the supervision of Megatron."Fun Publications
Based on the
Transformers Classics toy line, the "Timelines" 2007 story is set 15 years after the end of the Marvel Comics continuity, though ignoring all events of the Marvel U.K. and "Generation 2" comics.Megatron survived the crash of the "Ark" on Earth, reformatted himself into a new form and now leads Skywarp, along with Ramjet, Soundwave,Starscream and theConstructicons .Optimus Prime has also returned to Earth, commanding Bumblebee,Cliffjumper ,Grimlock ,Jetfire , Mirage andRodimus (formerly Hot Rod).In the first story, "Crossing Over", when the Cybertronians Skyfall and
Landquake arrive on Earth unexpectedly, Megatron attempts to destroy them, but Optimus Prime and his Autobots are able to drive Megatron away.In Transformers: Timelines volume 2 #2, "Games of Deception", Megatron detects the arrival of
Bug-Bite 's ship on Earth and sends Starscream, Skywarp and Ramjet to investigate.Dreamwave Productions
In the re-imagining of the Generation 1 universe by
Dreamwave Productions , Skywarp was recruited as a Decepticon, under the leadership of Megatron, in his war against the Autobots on the planet Cybertron. Skywarp became a member of the elite Seekers under Aerospace Commander Starscream.Early in the Autobot-Decepticon war, Skywarp and Thundercracker launched an attack against the city of Altihex, where they routed
Grimlock and his Autobots. Later, Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker attacked the city of Protihex, under the orders of Megatron. Knowing that Grimlock joined with the Autobots, but was dissatisfied with them, Starscream offered Grimlock the chance to join the attack on Protihex. Grimlock rejected the offer and not only evacuated the Autobot outpost before the attack could occur, but he left an explosive trap for Starscream and company. If not for Skywarp's ability to teleport them all to safety, the Decepticons may have not escaped alive.When Megatron and Autobot leader
Optimus Prime disappeared in an accident with aspace bridge , the Autobot and Decepticon forces splintered into smaller factions. Skywarp stayed with the Decepticons, under the leadership of Shockwave, attacking Bludgeon of theChaos Trinity at one point. After Megatron's return, Skywarp was chosen as a member of the crew of the "Nemesis" when Megatron launched it to attack the "Ark", an Autobot ship. Both ships fought, and after the Decepticons boarded the "Ark", it crashed on the planet Earth. All on board went into emergency stasis lock for millions of years.In the Earth year 1984, a volcanic explosion awakened the "Ark" and the "Ark"'s computer,
Teletraan I , reformatted all on board to be able to assume the forms of Earth machines. Skywarp was given the form of anF-15 Eagle fighter jet. After many battles, the combined forces of the Autobots on Earth and their human allies were able to capture the Decepticons. A ship designated the "Ark II" was built to take the Cybertronians back to Cybertron, along with some human companions, but the ship exploded shortly after takeoff. The human allies were killed, but the Cybertronians were lost in the Arctic ocean, again in stasis lock.Skywarp and others were recovered by a rogue military unit and reprogrammed as slave war machines, but Megatron broke free and then freed his fellow Decepticons, including Skywarp. He participated in the attack on San Francisco, and was one of those who attacked
Superion , causing him to separate.After returning to Cybertron with
Shockwave , Skywarp returned to Earth under the command of Starscream. However, but he was captured by the Autobots along with Soundwave and Thundercracker and locked in cells on board the "Ark". They escaped when the "Ark" was attacked byBruticus .Transformers/G.I. Joe
Skywarp also appeared in Dreamwave's Transformers/G.I. Joe series as one of the Decepticons allied with Cobra during an alternate reality
World War II , transforming into aP-51 Mustang . He was killed by Optimus Prime.Devil's Due Publishing
In this re-imagining of the Generation One story, the "Ark" was discovered by the terrorist
Cobra Organization , and all the Transformers inside were reformatted into Cobra vehicles, remotely controlled by theTeleviper s. In this storyline, Skywarp's alternate mode was aCOBRA Rattler jet. When the Transformers broke free, Skywarp killed his pilot,Major Bludd , by transforming whileMajor Bludd was in his chest cockpit area, crushing him. This was supported previously in the comic whenDoctor Mindbender informedDestro that the results of attempts to modify the transformers so that soldiers could remain in the cockpits during transformation were "messy" and that Major Bludd was seen in the cockpit as the controls and seat begin to fold into their positions during robot mode. Also, the cockpit was closed in the next panel and Major Bludd's final scream came from inside. Skywarp battled the Autobots, but was eventually killed by a malfunctioningsatellite system.IDW Publishing
After Dreamwave's closure, the rights to the Transformers comics were awarded to
IDW Publishing . The rebooted Generation One continuity borrowed from many previous sources, included the animated series, as well as the Marvel and Dreamwave comic books, but also featured many new and unexplored ideas and origins. Chronologically, Skywarp made his first appearance in ', joining the criminal gladiator,Megatron . He, along with his fellow Seekers, played a role in Megatron's plan to cause a rash of terror throughout Cybertron. Skywarp soon became a member of the Decepticons. Much later, chronologically, in ', Starscream appears to be in command of a small group of Decepticons on Earth, including Skywarp,Thundercracker ,Blitzwing ,Astrotrain and theBattlechargers Runabout and Runamuck. Starscream had discovered an ore on Earth that was the Transformer equivalent of steroids, making him bold enough to advance their infiltration phase ahead of schedule. However, it seems that humans have somehow obtained evidence of the Transformers' existence, which would derail Starscream's plans. Skywarp has thus far appeared as part of Starscream's elimination squad, disposing of any evidence of their operation on Earth. While bombing the Decepticons' abandoned base on Earth to destroy evidence of it, Skywarp battled Bumblebee, using his teleportation ability to stay a step ahead of the Autobot. However, Bumblebee managed to predict where he would emerge next and shot him down temporarily. Unfortunately for Skywarp though, after the destruction of the base was complete, Megatron had learned of Starscream's attempts for power on Earth and arrived, seriously wounding him before making off to destroy Starscream. Skywarp survived, though, as Megatron placed him and Blitzwing in CR chambers, as revealed in "". He submitted to Megatron's authority, accepting no further mistakes would be tolerated. He and Thundercracker were sent to bomb a a desert power plant, escalating tensions amongst the humans in the area. Accompanying Megatron to the disputed Soviet border state of Brasnya, Skywarp was sent to wait in case back-up was needed — and it was as Optimus Prime appeared leading a team of Autobots to stop the Decepticons. Skywarp and Astrotrain attacked using Skywarp's teleporting power, running interference for the human facsimile they were using. Despite his teleporting powers Jazz andWheeljack quickly cottoned on and anticipated his moves. Skywarp then disappeared, promising to return with reinforcements. He returned with Thundercracker, damaging Hot Rod severely and killing the facsimile. However, they were forced to flee when Megatron called for pickup after his Ore-13 was expended. His alternate mode here is that of anF-22 Raptor , the successor to his original Generation One F-15 alternate jet mode."Evolutions: Hearts of Steel"
Skywarp and the other Seekers also appeared in the mini-series, ": Hearts of Steel". Skywarp was the first Decepticon to appear, seemingly wakened by Muldoon's sunken submarine. Sent to scout ahead of the Decepticon
Astrotrain , he was presumably destroyed when Bumblebee and John Henry managed to send the entire Decepticon rail convoy into a chasm. [ [http://idwpublishing.com/titles/transformers/hos.shtml IDW Publishing ] ]3H Enterprises
In the
BotCon Wreckers comic series by 3H Enterprises, Skywarp returned after tricking the second Megatron into giving him a new body. Strangely, Skywarp joins the Wreckers alongsideCyclonus . This may indicate that the "" comics believe that it was the InsecticonBombshell , not Skywarp, who became Cyclonus (according to artist Dan Khanna). This may, in fact be a continuity error: even if Skywarp did not become Cyclonus, he was transformed into a Cyclonus-type robot and his personality lost. However, as there is no explanation in the comic, the relationship between the two remains unclear. This toy was a recolor of "Beast Machines " Deluxe Jetstorm.After the end of the Great War 300 years in the future, a
Predacon named Megatron conquered Cybertron with hisVehicon army. Megatron attempted to use Skywarp's spark to create a Vehicon to use against the fewMaximal s who opposed him, but Skywarp broke free and joined up with the Wreckers under the command ofPrimal Prime , along with several other Generation One survivors, such as Cyclonus,Arcee andDevcon , staying with the Wreckers after Cyclonus' betrayal.According to the script for the unreleased issue #4 of "Transformers: Universe - The Wreckers" the Wreckers returned to Cybertron where they helped repel the an invasion by the
Quintessons .Fun Publications
Snarl, Skywarp, Tap-Out and Triceratron appeared in the story "Wreckers: Finale Part 2" by the Transformers Collectors Club in 2007. Despite his dislike for the other Wreckers Skywarp remained loyal to them in order to take out vengeance on Cyclonus. During the invasion of Cybertron by the Quintessons all four vanished, taken captive by Unicron's transport beam.
Skywarp was seen in the service of
Unicron as part of the Chaos-Bringer's army during Optimus Prime's recollections in issue #8 of the Cybertron Club comic.Toys
*Generation 1 Skywarp (1984):The mold used for the Skywarp toy was originally part of the Japanese
Diaclone toy line, and was imported to become part of the "Transformers" toy line byHasbro in 1984. In jet mode, the toy is 21cm long (a scale of 1:93, suggesting that Skywarp 14cm robot mode would be about 13m tall). In what is considered to be a major drawback to the toy, the majority of its parts must be removed for transformation, and it is rare to find a totally complete one, since no single mode can hold all the parts. [ [http://www.unicron.us/tf1984/originalfigures/skywarp.htm Skywarp ] ] :Skywarp shared a mold with Starscream and Thundercracker, and laterSunstorm . The same mold with some wing modifications was used for Dirge, Ramjet and Thrust.*Machine Wars Skywarp (1997):Skywarp was one of the six Decepticons which appeared in this sub-line. Sharing the same mold as Thundercracker, Skywarp is now a white jet. His
Machine Wars appearance is considered to be set in an alternate reality which replaces the entire G1 storyline, although no official story has been released. Skywarp's is based on an unused "Generation Two " flip-changing jet mold. It was later used for "Beast Wars Second " Dirge.:His bio is much the same as his G1 bio, indicating he loves using his teleporting for practical jokes — but lacks the intelligence to really exploit it, resulting in mid-air collisions. He can convert between alternate modes instantly.

Dreamwave's "" series established that Skywarp is related to Starscream and is a grim and dangerous combatant with a near-perfect aim and an array of martial techniques. However, unlike his treacherous relative, he is loyal to Megatron; in fact the snide remarks from the other Decepticons about him getting his rank through his loyalty are the only thing that genuinely angers Skywarp. Also, Skywarp is friends with Scavenger — a friendship complicated by the fact that, unbeknownst to Skywarp, Scavenger is actually a spy for the Autobots.
Skywarp would be briefly seen in issue #12 of the "Armada" comic, guarding Megatron's latest secret weapon alongside
Wheeljack and Sideways. He would later be seen at the end of the "Armada" comic celebratingUnicron 's defeat."Armada" Skywarp made his only "Energon" appearance in a flashback in "" #30, where we would see
