To anyone who has pre-ordered MP-06 Skywarp, the wait is almost up. He's here. I ordered one via Seibertron's latest sponser Toy-Wave, and, after only a couple days in wait... he teleported into my lap.

Cool, anymore pictures? How's the quality?

Interesting I was wanting to see what he looks like with the stickers applied. looks OK but I think I'd prefer to keep mine naked.

I would like to see close up pics of the faces to see how they differ from SS. Did they keep that psychotic grin on his face?

That's what I was thinking, although the phrase 'stickers unapplied' was my term, but yours was a bit more descriptive.

My 'naked' Skywarp is on the way from BBTS.

This may sound stupid, but how big is he? I've never seen one in person.

Great purchase. I really like the way they presented their MP jets. Especially the flight stand.

There's no such thing as a stupid question. As you can see in the picture below, he's bigger than both Alt Shockwave and Classics Bumblebee.

My apologies for the clumsy execution of this, as well as the multiple posts.

Side-by-side with MP Megatron. (This picture's titled, "Frank Welker, Attack!")

I'd like to do side-by-side comparisons of Skywarp's and Starscream's faces, but don't know how in one image. Any suggestions on how to do it out there? I've got basic Windows Paint and MS Photo editor. There is a big difference in their faces, and I'd like to show them off.

The quality is fantastic. Super tight, still coated in manufacturer's grease, and the chest actually stays put, unlike MP Starscream's which shifts up and down every time I move him.

One last picture for now.

by **AlienQuiksilver** » Sat Sep 08, 2007 9:47 am

Not as big as I thought he would be, but still BEYOND cool! Looks to me like the MP seekers are on the same scale as a standard deluxe class car mold.

Man, i gotta get me one of those

Just posted my gallery of MP Skywarp, needs a few additional pics comparing him with robot mode MP Starscream and maybe MP Megs and Convoy but I'm pretty happy with it for now. Take a look, lots of big hig-res shots of robot and jet mode.

Yeah, he makes MP-03 look like a generic piece of junk.

I don't know about that, he sorta makes MP-03 look interesting in a way because he's clearly identify as Skywarp and the other is a bit of a mystery. I've always quite liked MP-03's deco because it reminds me of Superlink Nightscream.

Great Pix, Alex Kingdom! But my only beef is that you have a comparison of one face but not the other. While I love Starscream's smirk, I'm not yet sold on 'Warp's grimace. For some reason, I'd sooner expect it on Thundercracker instead. Maybe a major sneer or a frown would suit 'Warp's character a little better.

You mean a comparison between Starscream's smirk and Skywarp's Grimace? I'll see what I can do. :wink:

Didn't Sky' used to have a snarl with bared teeth originally? Or is this the snarly face still? :-?

If they tag the figure as Starscream I'd rather have it be readily apparent who he is, not some "mystery" figure. At least the Hasbro release will put MP-03 right but the original figure looks unfinished to me, always will.
