Transformer of the Day for June 20, 2009

SKYWARP

-Faction: Decepticon
-Era: Generation One (1984-1992)
-Function: Warrior
-Motto: “Strike When the Enemy Isn’t Looking”
-Notable Toy: Target Exclusive (Hasbro, 2006)

Notes: Even with his cool warping abilities, I always manage to confuse Skywarp with his seeker colleague, Thundercracker. That said, there are any number of great toy examples of Skywarp, but I opted to go with the Target exclusive two-pack (with shell-less Ultra Magnus). Even though the Henkei is more faithful to the cartoon, you can’t go wrong with a two figure pack. Particulary one that, although selling for as low as US$15 in 2006, can now fetch upwards of US$65.
