Skywarp
(G1 Reissue, Toys "R" Us Exclusive)
(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to G1 Starscream. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of G1 Starscream here.)
Move over, Starscream!
Even though ol' Screamer is easily the most popular of the G1 jet "seekers"
(a fandom name for Starscream and his many repaints), he's certainly not
the best. That's reserved for Skywarp here. That shiny black and light
purple scheme go together absolutely beautifully, and the silver goes well
with the color scheme as well. The stickers, although in the same places
as they are on Starscream, are subtly different, so it's not pushed in
your face that "hey, this is just a repaint, here!"
When all's said and
done, it still IS the boring ol' Starscream mold, though, so it has all
the same features and flaws in that area that Screamer does.
Skywarp is pretty much
the best you can hope from the Starscream mold, considering that the color
scheme is one of the best. Still a rather bad toy in and of itself, though.
