Also the article left out that Hellwarp is a Skywarp homage more than it is a Hellscream homage.

It's a little bit of both actually. you'll understand the colors chosen a bit more once you see Hellscream's original form:
BWII Starscream's colors happen to be close to G1 Skywarp's colors (by coincidence, as it was originally meant for G2). So in a sense we have a Hellscream in his original Jet colors, which can double as a Skywarp homage, hence the name. Just be open-minded about the purple, it's such a hard color to get right.
And I'm calling it now: Cloud Roadbuster repurposed as SG Roadbuster
Yeah, that's what I was going for when I first mentioned it. Guy with a Seeker name (Skywarp) gets a shark form that has the first part of his name replaced with "Hell" while keeping the same part of the name (Hellwarp).Powered Convoy wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Powered Convoy wrote:No new tooling on Roadbuster.

I'm thinking the connection to BWII Starscream's colors are a bit more coincidental, with the whole warp part of the name. Granted the Hell part is clearly drawing the connection to Hellscream (who was BWII Starscream and all that). So it's a Skywarp homage in color scheme and name, but the naming convention follows suit with Hellscream. Kind of like how when Hot Rod was upgraded into Rodimus Prime. He's an updated Hot Rod following the Optimus Prime naming convention, more than an homage to Optimus Prime.

He was the same as the US version. So they weren't going to repeat the same toy again. Just as Classics Astrotrain appeared as Cloud Astrotrain.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Hellwarp is cool, but not sure if it's something I'm into. I've been kinda pining for a Beast Wars II Starscream to beef up my Starscream display, and was hoping it was an updated version of his Hellscream form. Oh well... no harm done.
