Is Thundercracker in the picture below a re-paint of Starscream or Skywarp?

I believe Starscream came first, so a repaint of Starscream would be my answer.

I see, it's fantastic, so Dirge and Thrust are re-paints of Ramjet then?

Really good job, who did them?

Looking at that picture...

Why, oh why, oh why, oh WHY~, did they have to give Skywarp Pink trim? They give him a decent intelligence quota in his bio for once and they go and ruin him by giving him pink trim.

Skywarp versus Ultra Magnus twin pack?

More like Ultra Magnus laughs at Skywarp for wearing pink twin pack.

Oh Tekka you are so critical! :lol:

I think it's the lighting. My Skywarp's a pretty dark purple.

He does look purple in most cases, but when exposed to any kind of bright light it becomes very pink. So as long as I display him in a dark room, he's ok.

Skywarp was always fond of dark spaces... :-?

[quote=Transformers Wiki]Classics Skywarp is a slight retool of the Classics Starscream mold, transforming into an F-15 Eagle fighter jet, though with a canopy like that of an F-14 Tomcat. He comes with a pair of spring-loaded missile launchers that can be mounted on his biceps or used as hand-held weapons in robot mode and attach under his wings in vehicle mode. As with most Classics toys, he also features a heat-sensitive rubsign.
Skywarp was retooled from the earlier Starscream figures. The retool is present in the jet intake area. The slope of his shoulders was decreased from Starscream, and a rectangle added to the vertical area, making the number now five instead of four. This retooled version was used for the Classics Ramjet, Thundercracker, Thrust, and Dirge. At the end of Classics Starscream's production run he too used this version of the mold. [/quote]
