Maybe I am crazy, but I think that the movie Deluxe of Dreadwing should be Skywarp...

I received Dreadwing today as Hasbro's compensation for turning my '77 Bumblebee in (never worked, you can see my post elsewhere). I'd read his profile before, but today I happened upon a Cybertron Skywarp and their profiles are almost IDENTICAL.

I looked up some older Skywarp profiles and its the same thing. Any thoughts??

My thought is pure laziness...I suppose they would call it recycling...

Skywarp should be with his other two look alikes and be a voyager repaint I suppose, like Thundercracker.

HASBRO does crazy thing sometimes, so I would not be surprised. :-?

You can call him anything you want. He is your toy.

It's too bad they didn't give him a Skywarp paint scheme then. Maybe we'll get one last Voyager Starscream redeco?

Well, beyond his obvious profile similarities...once he is a robot he has alot of purple and black on him.

I guess it just bugs me that they oculdnt come up with a new/better profile for him, ESPECIALLY, if they plan on doing a redeco in the future of Skywarp with the Starscream mold.

I've never read his bio...

But it sounds like something Hasbro would do, screw over the best looking seeker.

Yeah... it gives the ole,"...We dont know where he got the teleport power...blah, blah, blah... he's not too smart... yada, yada... plays tricks on decepticons as well as autobots..."

You get the picture. I just bought Cybertron Skywarp at Walmart where they seem to be blowing out Cybertron toys, and it's almost the same word for word. So much for being creative.
