 | |  | | | | | US Masterpiece Skywarp Packaging Image | | Posted on 07-05-2009 at 08:40 AM by Sol Fury | TF08.net has posted a back of box image for the upcoming Masterpiece Skywarp. The back of the box also reveals the bio and tech specs for Skywarp, and gives us our first look at the official photography of the toy. Check out the image by clicking on the thumbnail to the left, and the bio posted below. Don't forget to click on the bold link above to visit our resources page on Masterpiece Skywarp for even more information on this toy. Skywarp appears once again, reproduced in near-perfect detail. He is a cheap and dirty thug who takes simple joy in catching friend and foe alike unaware. Though he's too lazy to be an effective warrior without direct supervision, he puts immeasurable into planning the pranks he pulls on whichever unfortunate target wanders into his sensor net. He'd rather lounge around on the airstrip than fight, but he's always ready to slash a few tires. | | Credit: Digilaut of the 2005 Boards! | Views: 7,186 | | Digilaut:
Hey guys, not sure if we have seen this before? Excuse me if it isn't news, and lock/delete if neccesary.
Yizhi has posted a picture of the back of the box of the MP Skywarp toy of the..ok I will stop now.
I believe it's from the new American version, with more accurate colors, right?
Also added are pictures of the ROTF Supreme Devastator box, but I think we have already seen that. TF08 - Transformers In China • View topic - 2009.07.05 new pic Optimus_Prowl:
So he's only a level 3 Conversion? That seems low graded to me.
Rijie78:
Ta for sharing. Looks cool, but then it's Skywarp  Good for folks that didn't/couldn't get the Takara Masterpiece. Will be sticking with my MP-6 tho, I prefer it.
Bass X0:
Now you too can own All Hail Megatron's rendition of Skywarp.
TIE Bomber:
It amazes me how I chose my favorite Transformers & then the bio's always seem to match my personality. back in 84 when the seekers first showed up I chose Skywarp as my first TF & favorite of the 3, just based on the black & purple colors scheme. And now this bio fits my personality almost perfectly. It's weird how that keeps happening.
I have the Takara version but now I'll probably get this one too just for the box & bio.
I LOVE SKYWARP!!!

Johnator:
That is awesome. I can't wait to get him.

No matter what the number on the box says, it will be the same transformation as Starscream..so make of that what you will. StarSaber79:
How much does it cost??
Soundwave2:
and when is it coming out again?
MrFX:
I certainly hope he doesn't come out around Black Friday. It's gonna be Starscream Hunt all over again!
Eric:
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT.
Soon enough we'll get a USA release of Masterpiece Thundercracker.
mordecai6:
50 bucks or so? Either way just order it online with site to store and you'll get it craZy quick.
guard convoy:
lets hope i can actually FIND it this time.....and  if it specifically mentioned pushing people down stairs it would have been the greatest bio ever

Matterzero:
Cool, but where is the Hasbro version of MP Grimlock?
rivalarod:
nice...hope its available soon.
TRANS+CRAZY:
Oooh... I might have to start picking up these Masterpieces.
shibamura_prime:
The pose they've got him in is really cool.
grimlock1972:

Transfan2:
In Regards to Price & Release Date for this Neat Seeker, from this pic from Botcon, The Release date is 11/1/09 and Price is $59.99.
^==Hope that helps.

Toy-wise, I think it looks pretty cool and I be glad to get him.
(My MP Starscream-experience was getting my 3 of him, but to let you know...it was luck as it took me 3 weeks..getting 1 a week so I got lucky there.)
-TF2
MrFX:
Mine wasn't that bad, actually, but for a lot of people around here, it got pretty crazy.
Came with the help of a friend, though. Then in the weeks afterwards, I saw them in several Wal-Marts around me warming shelves for a few weeks. I remember that they had them all over the store in some states...
I managed to score 3 (1 for a friend, 1 for display, and 1 to keep sealed).
Slimaximus:
I'm so glad hasbro is doing this, now all we need is thundercracker stateside and I'll be happy
Sangron:
I will be getting this.
Blitz.:
now plz bring this to the UK I'd be all over it
Ian7:
Finally! Time to start saving my duckies, and to think I almost imported this thing.
Scantron:
I already have MP Skywarp, so I'll pass on this one, but I hope it does well enough to allow for the eventual release of Thundercracker and Grimlock. Quote:

Not that it matters anyway, since the transformation difficulty rating just reflects the price point and really has nothing to do with how hard the figure is to transform. Quote:
Originally Posted by mordecai6 Either way just order it online with site to store and you'll get it craZy quick. | Wal-Mart doesn't always put their exclusives up on their website, though. MP SS wasn't, Alt Ravage and Alt Rumble weren't, RotF Skywarp and Ramjet were only up for a few days and there are a few others in recent memory that didn't make it to the website either.
blueandwhite:
Wal Mart exclusive pretty much means not-available-in-Canada. I guess if I really want him, it will have to be an online purchase.

Had me confused at first, too! Seems TF08 doesn't have the picture resize tool TFW has.
DECEPTIKONBRAWL:
this BETTER not be a usa exclusive like mp starscream was!cause if it is i am gonna be so mad!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure that they will pump out Thundercracker eventually. Perhaps next year around the same time? I'm not holding my breath for Grimlock, however. It might happen, but they will have a bunch of things to nerf on him. Quote:

No chance. They'll screw us over on Thundercracker like they did with Classics...then do a BotCon exclusive Thundercracker for like $10,000. Increase demand, decrease supply, increase price. It's Hasbro-nomics!!

I got mine at Target for $9.82 on clearance... two figures for less than 1 at regular price.

Hopefully we don't have a repeat of that whole issue when Skywarp is released.
