Happy to help with this episode. It was fun!
That was a funny skit
One of skywarps classic pranks
I love your work man, keep it up👍🏻
Lol funniest skit yet
Do thundercracker please
Hot take: Skywarp is severely underused and deserves more prominence.
I totally agree
That s a very cold take
Tell me about it! 😕😒
Agreed!
I agree. The idea of a deception who can teleport but doesn’t use it to kill Optimus because he would rather play pranks on his fellow decepticons is hilarious
"And I say the attack on the solar plant was a waste of energy!"
"You waste more energy with your mouth!"
Such an underated and vicious comeback, love it
7:03 dang, starscream was absolutely roasted.
This is why I believe cyclonus is a combination of skywarp and bombshell, because cyclonus is incredibly loyal and intelligent. Skywarp brings the loyalty and bombshell brings the intelligence.
Same. That's what me and my bro believe too. It makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
same
Skywarp is an idiot, but loyal. Bombshell is intelligent, but untrustworthy. Cyclonus took the best of each, and got rid of the worst of each at the same time.
I think he is just Skywarp, Cyclonus isn’t exactly smart, if he was, he wouldn’t follow Galvatron. Skywarp seems to be more thuggish than Starscream, but less so than Thundercracker. He is also more loyal than the other two seekers. His thuggishness has gone, but he maintains his loyalty to his leader. Despite the movie clearly showing bombshell turning into Cyclonus, Cyclonus has zero personality traits with Bombshell. His colour scheme also suits Skywarp.
@@jamief1263 well. Cyclonus has intelligence to be 8 out of 10. I
I feel like it'd be more meaningful for Thundercracker and Skywarp to have become Scourge and Cyclonus.
They did, but those two character are totally different which makes whomever became them pretty irrelevant.
@@t.f.t.f.8522 are they is Galvatron Megatron and if we're questioning that are Rodimus and Optimus Prime hot rod and Orion packs don't see why one upgrade would be different than another I know hot rod is Rodimus because he reverts back
@@plantainsame2049 goldbug became bumblebee again
I was curious in seeing how Megatron cane back and became a actionmaster
Agreed. It's fitting that two of Megatron's most loyal minions become his altered self Galvatron's two top Decepticons in new forms.
That's exactly what happened :)
The concept of a decepticon prankster with teleportation abilities is so rife with opportunities!
Despite Skywarp's flaws, he would be a pretty strong counter point to Mirage. That is if they used his teleportation or even a cloaking ability. Also, make him a bit less reliant on being Megatron's lacky. I do love his color scheme over the OG one planned for the toy.
Skywarp is definitely my favorite decepticon. Mainly because despite him being a jerk and prankster, he's very loyal. Plus, black and purple goes well together.
And a coward😂
You said it! 😏👍
Fun fact: Skywarp appears in the 2019 IDW Transformers continuity. Unfortunately, thanks to his teleportation powers, he's stuck in-between dimensions.
Fun fact: In Transformers the ultimate guide he is called Skyuwarp
In Transformers Unicron he came back right?
Would have liked to have seen more Skywarp and Thundercracker. Always felt that the Decepticons lacked characters because all of the storylines were dominated by Megatron and Starscream.
I hope my Retrospectives shine a brighter light on some of these characters that are often forgotten about or overlooked.
@@RodimusPrimal hi dude how are you
I've always loved Skywarp and Thundercracker.
Skywarp: "D-uh! What should I do, boss?" Megs: "Follow the trail, DUMMY!" Megs calling out his boy's abject stupidity had me laughing out loud every time I saw that episode!
If Starscream, Soundwave, or Reflector had woken up first in episode one, they might have taken time to survey their surroundings and THEN decide on a course of action. The fact that Skywarp IMMEDIATELY woke up Megatron showed his loyalty, yes, but it also unwittingly showed his denseness and lack of drive in that he couldn't function without Meg's direct instruction.
Still, I loved 'Warp's complete loyalty to Megatron and the 'Con cause and his best friendship with Thundercracker. Even bad guys need pals!
Thanks much, Rodimus! Hope you had a Happy Indy Day!
I think Skywarp was the one who threw the snake on Starscream
Thew is going to love this
From a prankster to a deadly assasin, Skywarp was always in the vanguard of the Decepticons, first as a seeker and then as Cyclonus
Toy-wise for G1 he was the coolest looking Decepticon jet.
"problem Rumble?" G1 Skywarp was probably my favorite I love the bully attitude for this character
I love Skywarp as the charming trickster who may lack in high intelligence, makes up for his loyalty. I love every version of him, except for the TFA one!
When I heard starscream say that jetfire killed skywarp my heart was destroyed
Sorry about that
Its so disappointing to see him die so casually
Its kinda endearing that skywarp was always the jock of the Decepticons
Probably my second favorite seeker (my favorite is Thundercracker.) I always loved his prankster persona, I wish we saw more of the 3 seekers together as a team outside of the comics.
Also his coloration is awesome. Purple and black goes together perfectly.
Skywarp has an amazing color combination and he is very memorable and hilarious 😂
The reason why Skywarp and Thundercracker were not in TFP is because they were eaten by the Sharkticons in the novel exodus, Skywarp was way brutal because starscream was jealous and planted a bomb then told Skywarp to take it somewhere without him knowing. It blew up but he wasn't dead yet although he was too weak to defend himself, I think a sharkticon found him and... well you know the rest.
Nom nom crunch -sparks and electric effects appear-
@@BurntTM LOL also F's for skywarp and thundercracker
@Epsilon why would i fight you when I can get Starscream on speed dial, he wouldn't mind. 😈
Technically speaking he was brought to quintesson mock trial to testify against Optimus Prime before getting eaten
@Epsilon I'm pretty sure you couldn't take down a regular jet let alone an intelligent one
Sky warp was my first transformer. I would love to see him in more stuff in the future.
He was my first as well. I remember my parents buying him for me as a reward for a vaccination jab. (I was 5)
I hope Frank Welker contines voicing Skywarp in the next Transformers movie
I'm glad that they didn't make him that olive color, but now I want to see a new seeker with that color scheme.
Ikr!
I absolutely loved the seekers in G1, they were my favourite. Thundercracker was a blue jet, so he got first billing, SKywarp was a close second. Loved him!
Can you imagine if Dreadwing and Skyquake were just called Thundercracker and Skywarp in TF Prime? Brute versions of Thundercracker and Skywarp that Starscream has to backstab to become the Seeker captain? Prime pays tribute to so many things, but of course, there are lots of missed opportunities too. I'm just glad that the design team still included deep cuts like Skywarp's original olive green design. Similarly, Wheeljack, Sky Linx, and Predaking are almost complete misrepresentations of those iconic G1 characters, but the designers added nods to their G1 designs to make up for it.
It's gonna be confusing if Cyclonus appears in Kingdom since Skywarp died on Cybertron
but they can still use skywarp to create cyclonus anyway.
@@gabrielf.ferreira9132 Especially when Unicron can literally revive people
not confusing more like the perfect setup. Might explain why Cyclonus is in the Kingdom line but not Scourge.
Ikr
Since the insecticons haven’t appeared yet
If only the TFWiki didn't run that stair pushing joke into the ground.
It's too bad he wasn't smarter because he has great abilities. I'd love to see more games like Transformers Devastation, but this time with both sides being playable and featuring online combat both co-op and team vs team battles. I love the idea of getting to play the various miniseries and stories of the G1 series.
I love Skywarp. Him and Soundwave were my first Decepticons as a kid. He is and always be a badass in my eyes
Skywarp (as well as Starscream and Thundercracker) are my absolute fav's among the Transformers. I would love to see a spotlight or comic mini-series about the Seekers someday. I would also be very happy if the Seekers could be seen more in TV series and / or films.
The same applies to the other Seekers a la Acid Storm, Sunstorm, Red Wing, Slipstream, the Rainmakers etc (but please, no gender swaping...instead they should invent new characters).
Couldn't believe it when they killed him off in Seige. Although Starscream is my clear favourite, I've always liked Skywarp.
Yeah, that Siege wasted one of the coolest characters with a criminally underused power made me not like Siege much. Lots of missed opportunities there.
One of my favourites. Like his War for Cybertron version.
Which War for Cybertron version game or Netflix?
I still believe Skywarp to become Cyclonus.
Of course. Who else would it be tho fr?
Bombshell maybe but that doesn’t make much sense
@@Me-wx1mt It makes since for Bombshell and the other insecticons too be sweeps do their cloning abilities.
@@dontemorgan1517 yeah
Skywarp/Thundercracker definitely became Cyclonus/Scourge. Nothing else really makes sense. Pity that IMO, the new characters are pretty lame compared to the originals so kind of doesn't matter who became them.
Skywarp should have more teleportation abilities and becoming more Transformers TV shows as well as for a bigger spotlight.
Interesting tidbit:
For the Hasbro masterpiece release, Skywarp's weakness was changed from stupidity to laziness.
Not sure why this was but I don't think it ever happened again
I like the idea of him possibly being capable of more but just can’t be bothered.
While Skywarp isn't one of my favorite decepticons, he is my favorite seeker.
It makes perfect sense that Skywarp is Cyclonus. Other than being a jet, Cyclonus was loyal just as Skywarp. The great part was that Unicron's power made him clever and intriguing as the second in command as Cyclonus.
Skywarp is actually my favorite Decepticon in G1 as I always love his sassy and rude remarks towards Starscream and it’s honestly Frank Welkers most underrated roles. Plus the fact he can teleport makes him a true stand out over all the decepticons.
Awesome video! Skywarp has the best color scheme of the seekers and I found comic relief in his “wannabe” bullying tactics 😎. I think his exposure is spot on
"You waste more energy with your mouth"
Skywarp is so savage to his commander XD
1:38 Guess the Netflix Sparkless Seeker was inspired by Skywarp's original color scheme.
A not-too-bad Decepticon character I wish they'd developed better, it would have been interesting to see him become less of a dim-wit and more savvy over the course of the series but never loose his prankster quirk either! I too think he had a cool color scheme and a neat ability.
Becoming more trickster in nature. A Loki so to say.
The great Skywarp! Always loved his colors and personality. I never really saw him as a true dolt, but a malicious bully. I'm glad that he's received more prominence in the more recent idw series.
Skywarp is my favorite seeker. Thanks for a great episode.
Man this has to be in my top 3. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but this has to be in the mix for sure. Big fan of Skywarp!
I always loved Skywarp, I remember I had Gears as my first transforners toy and didnt do much with him. Then I vividly remember my dad coming home from work as a truck mechanic, stinking dirty and his stomach was huge. I asked what was there and he laughed and said hed eaten too many burgers I patted his stomach and he handed me skywarp. I was about 4 or 5 and am 43 now and still remember it fondly. I still have my transformers and all my other toys in my attic. Dad is still kicking around as well thank god.
He was always one of my favorite Deceptions. Wish he had a larger role in the animated Transformers ‘84 show.
R.i.p aligned continuity skywarp
Skywarp is my favorite Decepticon ever. Yes more spotlight. The Laxy Eyebrow is amazing with that part. Thank you for the video.
And I don't know why they kill him off again I hope Skywarp come back with Thundercracker and Starscream.
If there is a perfect Seeker for Megatron, he has Starscream's intelligence, Thundercracker's humility & Skywarp's loyalty.
Sounds like Armada Starscream
Thank you for this. I’m a huge fan of anything concerning the “OG Big 3” Seekers. I love especially how Skywarp and Thundercracker have evolved over the years.
The fact that Skywarp being a prankster was official canon is amazing. Too bad we didn't see much of it. :/
Skywarp aka my favorite seeker I love skywarp’s Color scheme, his personality and his teleportation powers and as well his role idw skywarp all has special place in my heart as he alongside Wheeljack was the character remember the most as a kid.
And yes skywarp deserves more I would love to see do some amazing stuff as well as pranking his fallow decepticons.
And remember “strike when enemy isn’t looking “ * teleports away*
Skywarp is my second favorite Decepticon right after Soundwave. He has a gangster personality, like Rumble. "Is the big bad ice too tough for you?" 😂
Is the beast wars version meant to be a pun? G1 turning into an f15 eagle...
Good point. Never thought about that but it works.
@@RodimusPrimal I really relate to Skywarp. I always require more than usual instructions to do something I'm unfamiliar with. Sometimes multiple times
“Can’t you do anything right Skywarp?” - Rumble
Blue maybe my favourite colour, but Skywarp's black and purple is just too awesome to ignore. Saying that, Thundercracker and Skywarp go well together.
I look forward to when doubter Thundercracker get's his retrospective.
I love Skywarp!!!💓 Still don't have a figure of him tho🤣
Skywarp totally diserves more prominece. he's a cool charecter and a intresting one at that.
17:43 This is Acid storm and for the Netflix team actualy include Acid storm in the series, they have my respect
AFAIK, Cyberverse had both Acid Storm and Skywarp appear
Cyberverse is the worst for Acid storm
@@Acidstormstudios Acid storm is cool but sadly he didn't have his elemental Power
@@drakedy2145 yeah I know aaaannnnd why the heck is he named Acid storm if he dosen't even have acid powers
I'm always happy when Rodimus primal uploads.
Yes. Yes. Skywarp retrospective. One of the most recognizable Seekers. One of the main three Seekers. Great video.
My favorite Decepticon and the 1rst one I ever owned, a cherished Christmas gift. Great retrospective, Roddy 👍
I was never a fan of Skywarp, but the teleporting thing he did is cool though, and in my opinion he became cyclonus in the Transformers 1986 movie.
The ending skid made by lazy eyebrow, awesome
Dang, I thought the debate was settled? A very thorough in depth about Skywarp. He along Thundercracker are my favorite seekers. I love the toy skit at the end! Thanks RodimusPrimal as always.
His color scheme looks so awesome. 'Nuff said.
Skywarp became Cyclonus nothing will change my mind
Skywarp is my favorite Decepticon. He’s the one who became Cyclonus and no one can tell me otherwise.
"Not too smart."
"Intelligence 9"
Skywarp has a special place in my heart, as he was my first transformer toy.
I feel like thew adams needed to be mentioned somewhere or given a cameo
I think he is my fave seeker. The stealth thing should be his main gimmick for getting past base defences with high security: Just warp past them! Then stab that pesky ultra magnus in the back like an assassin. Then warp out of there.
Killed by an underbase powered starscream should be your catchphrase
Skywarp was the lucky one, he was revived first by the Ark. Had he been reassembled last he might have wound up a volks wagon bug, Primus forbid. I know all about the debate of Cyclonus being remade from Bombshell or Skywarp, I'm gonna say it... it was Skywarp because of his loyalty to megatron and Cyclonus is likewise loyal to Galvatron!
He will always be my personal favorite seeker, and he was the very first toy that my dad got for me, when I was 7.
Skywarp is up there among my favorite seekers, right behind old screamer. Honestly hope we get to see him push someone down some stairs in a show or comic.
Yeah my Favorite decepticon is Shockwave by far. But I must admit Skywarp is one of the ones I like the most. And yeah! he deserves it more screen time and much more character development.
More than Meets the Eye Skywarp was the first to be awaken & repaired as F-15 jet on Earth ❤❤
I really like skywarp, in fact he's my second favourite deception underneath dead-end.
Skyward always followed Megatron blindly,just like Sludge did with Grimlock's leadership.
Somewhere Thew Adam's is very pleased with this offering . Great episode as always Rodimus 👏
I love how Cyberverse Shockwave would always comment on how the Seekers couldn’t accomplish anything unfortunately due to their low intelligence!🤣 I just love how matter of fact he is. I do like Skywarps adaptation in the books even tho he meets a horrible end. I hope he is in future live action movies!
One of my favorite characters, unfortunately in the show the dialogue for the Decepticons seemed to just focus on Megatron and Starscream and I feel the lesser characters like Thundercracker got insufficient lines. I am hopeful that with this being 35 years since the original movie was made a series 2.5 could be made for say the 40th anniversary where events take place between the end of BOT and the start of Five Faces of Darkness, where Skywarp could be involved. But I would really like a series set in the early stages of the war 9M years ago where the named seeker jets could get prominent roles.
Sky Warp is my favorite seeker. I do wish he had more in G1 and other Transformers shows.
"Teleportation complete, Megatron."
Skywarp was awesome!!! One of my fav Decepticons.
Regarding Skywarp's appearance in G2, I always assumed most of the 'bots and 'cons had been repaired by then, after all, Goldbug was far more visibly damaged by Starscream, and he was reactivated (with a little help from a pretender shell)
He's one of my favorite's too. I do however disagree with one thing. I never thought he was particularly dim or stupid, at least not enough to define his personality. There are probably smarter warriors out there, but I always identified sky warp by his loyalty to the decepticons, deception against the autobots, effectiveness in battle, and his sarcastic & sadistic sense of humor.
Skywarp and Thundercracker are my favourit decepticons
He's a good character, even if he is a little dim-witted.
I love the “Follow the trail dummy!” Makes me laugh everytime!
@@MySkinnydip True, poor Skywarp.
Skywarp is my favorite seeker!!! 👍🏻 great video!
Skywarp’s ability to disappear and reappear is like a magician.
Lmfao I LOVED the stop motion near the end 💀🔥
8:43-8:57 there Skywarp became Cyclonus. I'm typing this exactly 4 years to the day of that tweet lol.
I love skywarp the decepticons transformers g1. I have figurines skywarp the decepticons transformers legacy. thanks rodimus primal have a great week god bless
That was a funny skit. And great video.
