My logic has always been this: Unicron can't change who a Transformer is but he can bring them back to life as someone else. When Megatron became Galvatron, he didn't change in his personality he just got roided up and his insanity was because of being fried in the lava after the Movie. If Skywarp wasn't dead yet, he'd have suddenly been in a strong new body surrounded by strangers face to face with the Cybertronian equivalent of Satan or Cthulhu raising the dead around him. He then did the only sensible think for him to have done: teleported as far away as he could and just kept running.
The best part about that theory is it's in line with the 3H Wreckers stories as seen here.
Interesting theory. But by your same logic that unicron didnt change the cons as far as personality youve gotta ask why a bot like bombshell who was far from loyal as you can be would suddenly become one of the most loyal if not the most loyal decepticon ever.
That is actually another reason I believe skywarp became cyclonus that I failed to mention. Loyalty.
Cyclonus is extreemely loyal to galvatron. More loyal than skywarp was? Maybe. More loyal than bombshell was? HA!! Absolutely!
So because I agree that the bots retained their personalities and changed in form and stats alone I have yet another reason to believe cyclonus is skywarp.
Man, I leave a thread for a little bit...
My answer to this problem is in my first post. Skywarp wasn't dead but Bombshell was. Unicron brought Bombshell back as someone else (someone far more loyal) while Skywarp stayed Skywarp just with a new body. As whatever loyalties Skywarp had were to Megatron and there is no Megatron to be found (none of the Decepticons at the coronation ceremony recognized him after becoming Galvatron either) and given the HOLY SH!T, THE ELDER GOD DEVIL IS RAISING AN ARMY OF THE UNDEAD factor at the time, Skywarp would have no reason not to run away.
As for why he didn't return to Earth or Cybertron, he had no idea how long he was drifting through space and no idea where he was. He was lost in space and possibly running in a blind panic.
I think that's just more interesting than him being plotholed out of existence.
