Title:
Skywarp MP-6
Description:
Skywarp (September 1, 2007)
ID number: MP-6
Accessories: 2 ”Machine Guns”, 2 AIM missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot, Megatron Gun clasp, display stand
Masterpiece Skywarp was released in Japan in September of 2007. He is a redeco of the Masterpiece MP-3 Starscream mold in black, gray, silver, and purple, though the purple and silver are more minimal than usual. Skywarp is able to switch between a minimally retooled stoic face and a new snarly face, retooled from Starscream’s previous smirk. The tiny Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine (this time molded black) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with Masterpiece MP-1 Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime.
The sticker sheet includes Skywarp-esque stripes, as well as several whimsical squadron markings.The second pressing of Masterpiece Skywarp (released in October 2008) features an assembly error: his left and right pectorals are flipped. This misassembly does not affect transformation at all, and is really only noticeable when compared to prior Masterpiece Seekers. The September 2007 pressing of Masterpiece Skywarp is assembled correctly. Masterpiece Thundercracker is misassembled as well.It is a common misconception that the stoic face on Takara’s Masterpiece Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker are the same, when all of them are in fact different sculpts.This mold was later used for the Masterpiece version of Thundercracker. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh Masterpiece figure, Starscream.
