History
Life on Cybertron and the War[]
Skywarp was a member of a group of Cybertronians called the Seekers on Cybertron, the seekers shared a body type and could all transform into the same vehicle mode. The three seekers, Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp considered one another brothers, Skywarp had the special ability to teleport or "warping" as he called it.[1] [2] [3]
During the war over resources on Cybertron, Skywarp and his brothers would join the side of the Decepticons believing "peace through tyranny" to be a good idea (presumably out of being power hungry). During the war, the Autobots (their enemies) would attempt to escape on a spacecraft they made called the Ark, the decepticons would follow them on their spacecraft the Nemesis. Upon reaching the Ark an all out brawl would happen causing the ship to crash into the earth, with this happening Skywarp along with his brethren would be incapacitated his energon wiped out. [4] [5] [6]
During a battle between the autobots and the decepticons, Skywarp would be revived by Teletraan I, upon being revived his brother Starscream would order him to attack the autobot leader Optimus Prime which he would do. Unfortunately, the autobots managed to retreat upon seeing they would not win the battle, Starscream ordered them to follow but Skywarp found the energon that had been used to revive them was not enough to both revive them and keep them in battle as Skywarp began to run low again and black out which he would alert Starscream to much to the bot's annoyance. Upon studying Teletraan I it would be discovered that Teletraan needed more energon, to which Skywarp and Soundwave looked to Starscream to get given he was now the leader, much to Starscream's chagrin. [5]
Starscream would end up finding some energon which he would bring back to the base for Soundwave and Skywarp to enjoy. Starscream informed the two of where he got it with plans of all three of them going back, Skywarp was the first to arrive and began to kill and terrorize the humans who were there. Skywarp would then join Starscream and Soundwave as they used a machine to get more energon, when the humans attempt to attack, Skywarp tried to kill Sparky Witwicky as he attempted to flee the bot. Fortunately, an abandoned military jet came and nearly hit Skywarp in the head distracting him long enough for Sparky to get away. After gathering enough energon, Skywarp, Soundwave, and Starscream would head home, there Skywarp would drink energon out of a cup while Starscream and Soundwave continued to try and figure out how to get Teletraan online. [6] [3]
Death[]
Starscream, discovering that the humans were still rebelling sent Skywarp to go take care of them. Skywarp found some trying to kill Cliffjumper and took the moment to attack, the humans scrambling to try to kill both Skywarp and Cliffjumper. Skywarp shrugged off the humans attacks (despite them at least managing to stun Cliff) and managed to get the upper hand on Cliffjumper, he prepared to kill the bot when Carly put small distance between them and begged Skywarp not to kill him. Skywarp decided to kill them both when Optimus arrived and engaged Skywarp in battle, Optimus appeared to be willing until a bazooka blasted his arm off. Skywarp remarked at how stupid the humans were and how even stupider Optimus was for helping them, Skywarp then gained the upper hand until Optimus saw Spike Witwicky accidentally shot. [3]
Upon seeing Spike shot, Optimus regained the upper hand even ripping off his own arm to beat Skywarp into submission with. Starscream soon after arrived and Skywarp begged for help, Starscream promised to help but wanted to know where the autobots went first. Skywarp told him and Starscream left, Skywarp would later be picked up by Soundwave and brought back to the Ark. Starscream and Soundwave would continue to argue over how to get Teletraan I back online but came to the conclusion they needed energon from a Cybertronian. Skywarp knowing what they were thinking as they looked at him hungrily begged for his life as he was ripped apart by them with his corpse merged with Teletraan and being forced to revive his fellow decepticons with his consciousness being the only thing left.[1] [2]
Even in death, Skywarp would continue to make things difficult for the autobots his consciousness still active and refusing to let the autobots revive their soldiers insulting them instead. Carly, annoyed by this and tired of the decepticons accidentally shot a bazooka at him, it fortunately missed but this scared what was left of Skywarp into letting Teletraan revive the autobots.[7]Attributes
