Title: Let's do the Skywarp Again!

[wrap=left:l5xjuq59](http://www.shmax.com/img/transformers/figure/small/10000/10430.jpg?1246225760) (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/17205)[/wrap:l5xjuq59]Ever wonder how many Skywarps there are? Well, according to our database the number climbs to 32 (http://www.shmax.com/results/1?sort=rel&browse=0&part_name=skywarp&r=1) with the addition of this new entry (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/17205) from the Revenge of the Fallen (http://www.shmax.com/Database/1468?browse=0) line. Hellscream recently finished off the work-up for this toy by submitting the last of its package, figure, and part photos, with data entry by Engledogg and Knightsword.

Exclusive to Wal-Mart, this Revenge of the Fallen Skywarp is a voyager class figure. Interestingly, although the mold used to make this toy only dates back to 2007's Movie line of toys, it's already spawned quite a large number of offspring. Skywarp's cousins include Ramjet (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/17208/Ramjet) from the 2009 movie line, and Starscream (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/313/Starscream), Deep Space Starscream (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/2680/Deep_Space_Starscream), G1 deco Starscream (http://www.shmax.com/package_details/5418/Starscream), Starscream (Vardia Red) (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/8811/Starscream), and Thundercracker (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/427/Thundercracker) from the 2007 movie line. But I'm sure this is the last we'll see of this mold! I mean c'mon, they wouldn't push it on us again, would they?

Sooooo wishing I'd kept my G1 redeco and bought Thundercracker. I didn't know they were gonna come out with a Skywarp and he does look pretty sweet. Surprised they made one since they just made Skywarp for the Animated voyager mold.

s'ok though, I really love the new mold more, I just kept the old one because it's Starscream, but seeing them side by side I really prefer the new one. Especially the alt mode which is a thing of beauty.

And this reminds me that I need to finish customizing SS here with some Repro Faction labels.

Dunno. I know back-of-box pics are on the net as of a few days ago so I imagine it'll be within the next six months. I'm not terribly concerned about it as I purchased the JP version long ago.

Never underestimate the £$£$£$ attraction of rinsing out another variant of a mold, huh?  :wink:
