Title:
Transformers Masterpiece Skywarp Walmart exclusive
Description:
Masterpiece Skywarp (2009)
Accessories: 2 ”Machine Guns”, 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand.
A Walmart exclusive redeco of the original Masterpiece Starscream mold. Just like Starscream, Skywarp is able to switch between two different faces. This release uses the Starscream’s stoic and smirking alternate faces rather than the Takara Masterpiece Skywarp’s newly-tooled stoic and snarling faces. Hasbro designer Joe Kyde felt the alternate snarling face did not fit Skywarp’s prankster personality, so he went with the Starscream smirk face instead when designing the deco for Hasbro’s release. As a result of gang molding, Skywarp also uses Starscream’s stoic face, the decision being the difference between Skywarp and Starscream’s stoic face was negligible enough not to make a significant difference. The toy also features a more G1 toy styled deco rather than cartoon-based, particularly in the yellow eye color and wing stripes. His purple more closely matches that of the original toy than the purple used on the Takara version, and features a lighter flat black, like the original toy, instead of Takara’s darker glossy black. The Hasbro version replaces some of the dark gray of the Takara version with a dark silver, removes the arm and chest striping, but adds additional red detailing, while removing some as well. Much like Hasbro’s Starscream, he does not feature any of the warning or slogan tampographs, but features tampographed striping, Decepticon symbols, and some additional paint details not present on the Takara version. The nosecone features black paint over purple plastic, allowing for easy customization of ”Mexican Masterpiece Skywarp”.The tiny Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine (molded in black with no paint applications) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with Masterpiece Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and a stand (featuring Skywarp’s name) with a support beam for jet or robot mode.Masterpiece Skywarp was also available as an Argos exclusive in the United Kingdom.
SKYWARP APPEARS ONCE AGAIN, REPRODUCED IN NEAR-PERFECT DETAIL. HE IS A CHEAP AND DIRTY THUG WHO TAKES SIMPLE JOY IN CATCHING FRIEND AND FOE ALIKE UNAWARE. THOUGH HE’S TOO LAZY TO BE AN EFFECTIVE WARRIOR WITHOUT DIRECT SUPERVISION, HE PUTS IMMEASURABLE EFFORT INTO PLANNING THE PRANKS HE PULLS ON WHICHEVER UNFORTUNATE TARGET WANDERS INTO HIS SENSOR NET. HE’D RATHER LOUNGE AROUND ON THE AIRSTRIP THAN FIGHT, BUT HE’S ALWAYS READY T O SLASH A FEW TIRES.
