I bought ROTF Skywarp this morning.

I could not resist, as it has been staring at me for the past few days, screaming... "LOVE ME!"

I will pick up another if it makes it out to British retail though, that will balance everything out... Or will I? I don't particularly want to support the Transformers Movie, because I didn't even like the movie, quite the opposite... I'll think about this while I wait for news of a potential release.

I absolutely can't wait. While I can't make out the bio, the back of the box shows he has an intelligence rating of 10, which is very unusual for ol' Skywarp.

It amuses me to no end that Movie Starscream is a dumbass, and Skywarp is apparently a veritable genius. That tech spec mix up seems to be haunting Starscream to this day.

Lol I just checked, erthmode SS has intelligence of 4 while Protoform SS and FAB SS have intelligence of 9 :lol:

As he took up the earth form he also lost 5 intelligent points. :shock:

He was on that airfield for so long, listening to American fighter pilots shouting "YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAW", that he went absolutely mad.

Just proves that the Air force is bad for you.

I made a few things out from the blurry image I have.

From what I've been able to make out, it's an interesting new direction for his character.

I hope I'm able to get the full thing soon so I can get it put into news, and nobody else beats me to it. =x Grargh. Unlikely at this point though.

SKYWARP has never been interested in power or conquest.
He simply wishes to be left alone in his pursuit of knowledge.
He joined the DECEPTICONS because MEGATRON was willing to give him facilities in which to work, and simply leave him alone.
In return, he has produced countless powerful weapons and experimental systems for his comrades.
He is personally equipped with mighty weapons that can twist the very fabric of reality into a smear of color and light, or rip mountains apart.

Once you do have him, make some nice pix of him, a bit of a review and pm the first news mod you can think of ;;)

That something bio sounds weird, he kinda sounds like a mixture of Shockwave, Soundwave and Wheeljack.

Hi all, Ages since I have posted on here...

Just got back from Tescos in Twickenham and they had Universe Leo Prime & Overload.

They only had two of each, I picked up one Prime as I missed Leo Breaker back when Cybertron was on. I only recently got Dropshot so I passed on Overload, bit too similar for my liking.

Not an amazing toy by any stretch of the imagination but this thing NEEDS to be re-painted as Razorclaw.

i agree about the razorclaw repaint i was thinking the exact same thing when i got the team leaders legend pack

A bit of a delayed response to this post, but at the time I couldn't remember the name of the film!

I don't know what's more absurd, the fact that movie exists or the fact it takes itself seriously.

News Credits: 1 · by **oddsey** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:57 pm

That may be true.

But I bet you're downloading it already.

I'd watch it if it happened to be on TV!

It is of concern when one googles for pussy teeth.

Slim pickings at Asda last night, Uni Deluxe were still £6.00 but only Galvy & Ironhide there, loads of marvel xovers but £15.00 each...,
Ani Jetfire Jetstorm at £20.00, a few legends, activators and bumper battlers but nothing new.

I've finally given in to 'seeker army syndrome'. I picked up the Aerial Rivals pack and as I'd already got Starscream & Skywarp in the LOC mold (which I love) I figured I'd try and pick up Sunstorm. Found an ebay deal where there had several and it was only £1.00 per extra figure (for the figure & P&P!) so ordered 3 of the buggers to repaint 2 into TC and Dirge.
So no one mention Acid Storm and I'll be ok!

What about Acid Storm? :twisted:

Has anybody else had trouble with orders from toyzandgamez recently - it's now been a month since I ordered Henkei Cyclonus and every week when I check I'm told 'it's supposed to arrive this week' :-x

I'm getting a bit fed up now!

Don't insult animated, its a birth defect. They Can't help looking like that.

I agree the Kup does look nice. Scourge is going to be a repaint of Cybertron Sideways probably (Hopefully)
