Cartoon Overview
The Starscream clone who resembles Skywarp was the last of the current batch of clones brought online by Starscream in A Bridge too Close. The Skywarp Starscream clone embodies Starscream's cowardice, and is characterised by lines such as "Megatron? Not Megatron! Anything but that! Oop, I think I just sprang an oil leak."

During the huge battle at Megatron's headquarters, the cowardly clone stayed well out of harm's way, attacking at long range, until Blurr, moving at high speed, scaled the walls of Megatron's subterranean lair, and moving at such great speed that he appeared to be a mere blue blurr, managed to slip some stasis cuffs on the cowardly clone. Both the cowardly clone and Blurr himself then collided with a free-falling Egomaniac clone who had been hit with cement by Mixmaster. All three subsequently were seen falling into the Spacebridge. Because no coordinates had been set, they could have ended up anywhere in the galaxy.

A clone of Starscream with similar colors to Skywarp also appeared in A Fistful of Energon, as a part of a trap set by Starscream to destroy Megatron - the clone on that occasion was fitted with a powerful bomb. Like the "main" Skywarp-Starscream clone, that clone was also characterised by being a sniveling coward.

Powers and abilities

Like Starscream, his clones all possess incredible speed and firepower, enough to put even Megatron off balance. However, the incomplete personalities of most of the clones mean that they are generally less effective than Starscream (if even more entertaining to watch).
