Title:
Skywarp MP-11SW
Description:
Skywarp (January 5, 2015)
ID number: MP-11SW
Accessories: Megatron Gun, Doctor Arkeville pilot
A redeco of the newer Masterpiece MP-11 Starscream mold, Skywarp features some extensive retooling to wind the Masterpiece Seeker design back into the more Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, retooled shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered Machine Guns attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be removed for transformation.The figure features flip-up missile racks built into his pectorals. He comes with the original version of the Megatron gun that first came with Masterpiece MP-1 Convoy. He also comes with a Doctor Arkeville pilot figure identical to the previous MP-6 release.Skywarp’s deco is heavily based on his cartoon appearance and features the rarely reproduced in toy form entirely purple shoulders and arm cannons. Despite the focus on cartoon accuracy in his deco, he carries over the striping on his forearms, shoulders, and pectorals similar to his original MP-6 Masterpiece release.Skywarp was only released in China via Hasbro Asia under the TakaraTomy label; marking the second time an original TakaraTomy Masterpiece toy wasn’t released for the Japanese market (Masterpiece Megatron Gold Version was the first).On November 30, 2016 MP-11SW Skywarp was released in Japan for the first time as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. There are notable differences between this release and the original almost two years prior. The shade of purple used on the later release is more warm and less cool in tone. His biceps and knee flaps are now molded in black plastic rather than in purple plastic painted a glossy black. The inner portion of his upper chest is no longer painted silver mold molded in silver plastic. Many of the paint operations are also slightly different in color from the earlier Hasbro Asia release. Hasbro Asia also re-released the figure to coincide with the Japanese release.When purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Skywarp comes with a collector coin, mounted on a card resembling his wings, complete with his signature wing stripes. The coin was reissued in 2016, without change, alongside the figure.
