Armada Skywarp was rare here!? I picked up 2! One for me, and one for my cousin! And there were still 3 left! You sure he was rare? He was a shelfwarmer way-back-when.
Also, this:

Fweh. For a moment I thought Classics Skywarp warp going to get a rerelease as a club exclusive.

Rare in the US, but plentiful in Europe. Same thing happened with Energon Ultra Magnus

Repaint of a non-Starscream toy: Beast Machines Deluxe Jetstorm. Appeared in the BotCon Wrecker comics, years before his release no less.

But that's what Skywarp is, and always has been. Granted there are times when I tire of Starscream being repainted just for the sake of having more of his seeker kin. I'd much prefer the ideal of having them all have similar bot modes and differing jet forms... but ultimately a repaint is simpler and cheaper.

Why does Screamer, of all cons, come with the scrapmaker anyway? His signature weapons are null rays! If a Skywarp does happen and HE gets null rays I swear I'll just

WE could always switch them. But then the color difference...

Yeah, I don't understand why Hasbro always wants to make him an exclusive. Just put the toys out there and let us buy them!

Awwww, this is disappointing...

I thought it actually meant there was going to be a Free Skywarp figure offered somewhere.

Poooeeey...





Now that I know what it means, I support your cause. I still want a free Skywarp figure though.

Maybe someone wrote incorrect name when they packaged skywarp some time ago... I collect only that small size and I think he is one that went in front of everybody eyes and no1 noticed him

Black + purple = Skywarp
Just Black = Starscream

Yes, Might be, however here a closer comparison of my toys. Same silver chest, black body and ok thats not a purple is more like silver blue, however for the official movie Thundercracker he has not exactly a blue in this scale, is also silver. (Plus the boxing was showing plain "Starscream", instead of "stealth Starscream" wich was released before already, or what I guess a "Skywarp". So until we get any official Skywarp released, I have this as the closest match)

I love this toy

Odd, I didn't have trouble finding either one in the US.

These days, though. Couldn't find a Wreck Gar to save my life, and I think there's pretty much no chance of any stores here restocking with any future PRID waves since the shelves are clogged with deluxe Bumblebees and voyager Optimuses. I swear, one place had two dozen bees and three cliffjumpers and that's it for deluxes.

DON'T SAY THAT

NOT EVEN JOKING

Not to dig up an old thread, but funny how this may end up true.

Hasn't Skywarp ALWAYS been a repaint of Starscream? You'd rather have NO Skywarp than have one that's a repaint of SS?

Again:

Universe Skywarp: repaint of Beast Machines Deluxe Jetstorm
Cybertron Skywarp: repaint of Cybertron Thundercracker
BWII Skywarp: slight repaint of Beast Wars Magnaboss Silverbolt

Same rule apples nonetheless: once a repaint, always a repaint

I agree with blurrz FOC skywarp will more than likely be an exclusive to takara.

He's with us in spirit.
Oh, wait , Takara will probably release that as an exclusive too...
