Having just picked this guy up, I thought that I would throw out a quick review.
This is the Hasbro version of the figure, you can see the Takara version review here. Also, the Hasbro Starscream review is here.
Skywarp 32cm long in aircraft by 22cm wingspan. There is not much to say that hasnt already been said about the Takara version. He is not as glossy as the Takara version but has a few more paint aps. Aside from the obvious differences - wing stickers (on both the top and underside of the wings, which is nice), silver air intakes at the front, tail fins are purple - he lacks the silver stripes on his arms but does have red detail on the air intakes. I found that mine snapped together better than the Hasbro Starscream, and felt solid, which was great.
The accessories are a little different in colours too, notably the missile racks and the Dr pilot figure.
Overall, an excellent figure, and I would recommend him.

EDIT: Actually, I think it is... the inside is purple, but the paint is good on mine.

I am a big fan of the Takara versions, and the pictures made me feel that this version was too cartoony. Also, I was disappointed by Hasbro Starscream.
But, Hasbro Skywarp makes Hasbro Starscream look cheap and I think that he is far better. The red plastic on Starscream was flat and just looked bad. The purple stripes on Skywarp are really cool and work really well. I think that I still prefer the Takara version - mainly because I like the realism of the alt mode, which is one reason that I dont put the stickers on - but Hasbro Skywarp is a much closer second to Takara Skywarp than I expected.
