Skywarp [Galaxy Version 01 Roll Out]

Skywarp is a Seeker I've always had a bit of an affinity for. Mostly because of the colors, but I also like his teleportation powers. His bios always depict him as a little dumb, little sneaky, and likes to pull pranks. That's often played up more in bios and fandom than takes place in media, though it does happen. Aside from his special ability, he's not too different from Thundercracker a lot of the time. Guess it depends on who's writing. Like Thundercracker, his original toy mold comes from Diacalone roots. Though unlike Thundercracker, his colors are original to The Transformers. It's widely believed that Skywarp became Cyclonus in the 1986 movie, though it's never very clear or certain if it was him or an Insecticon. Back in the day I stood by the 3H BotCon/OTFCC comics as it was an official stance.

In those stories, Skywarp had survived and Bombshell was remade into Cyclonus. These days I'm more open to interpretation. Whomever it is in that story is whoever it was in that story. I love this stuff, but it's got all the inconsistencies. Doesn't help that Bombshell and Skywarp continue to appear after Cylonus is created. This Blokees figure is pretty much the same as Thundercracker but with another color deco, which is true to form regarding Seekers. I like it a lot, once again I'm partial to Skywarp's colors and am finding it impossible to dislike a Blokkes Transformers kit.
