    I'd say Prime, but I don't have Skywarp so, I can't tell you.

    Wow... looks like Skywarp is the way to go. When he comes out, I'll trade him for a WalMart Starscream. ( I just like the colors better)

    I'd say go with Prime. An overall amazing Transformer that is probably the best out in the wild currently.

    I personally prefer Prime (though I only have WalScream to compare him to), but if you ever plan on getting Skywarp in the future now would be the time to knab him. He will definately be harder to acquire in the future.

    Get Skywarp now so you don't have to pay double on the secondary market. Prime's great, but his price isn't going to skyrocket anytime soon.

    Skywarp first. If you can, save up for Prime a bit later on. He's gonna be $35 at Walmart through the Christmas season I'd bet. That gives you two months still to save up for him.

    i'm gonna have to go with the masses on this one.. Skywarp!.

    not only a fantastic character. he's also one of the best color schemes on a Transformer, IMO.. I have the Henkei classics and love him. if i had the extra cash (or desire) to just throw on a MP i'd get him in a heart beat...

    Definitely Skywarp. Masterpiece Starscream is fantastic, and is always a great conversation piece ( I have mine set up in my living room). So Skywarp will be a no brainer for me.

    Get Prime and then when you've got more money to spend hunt down a Masterpiece Starscream.

    Do you want a figure you can play with and enjoy or a figure you can sit on the shelf and enjoy but fear touching?

    Prime if you wanna play with him, skywarp if you want a statue.

    Yea, as the masses have said, if you have any thoughts of getting Skywarp, you'd better act quick, cause we will be lucky to see it on the shelves for more than a month. Although it is on sale right now, you will have a years worth of opportunity to pick up Leader Prime, and with any luck, by the time you find shelf space, we will have a US version of Busta Primes. Also, simply put, the MP Seeker mold is fantastic.

    Neither.

    MP Grimlock pisses over both of them from a great height.

    both are great. but skywarp is an exclusive so he's going to be a bit 'scarcer', i think (correct me if im mistaken). get the skywarp first!

    man, you guys are slowly talking me into MP Skywarp. I had no interest in him other than the mold since I missed out on US Starscream but now I think I'll have to pick him up if I see him in the wild, especially considering what happened to the price of US Starscream in the last year.

    from what i have seen it's the other way around, the starscream mold isn't fragile at all, how many people have either been scared to or have broken the chest flaps on prime, just sayin, my skywarp and starscream have gotten a lot of play, and they haven't even gotten a little loose

    Skywarp definately. Then track down Starscream. Last I checked you could get one on ebay at cost (around 50$). Prime is a great figure, but I'd only recommend that if you plan on getting a Jetfire to go with him to merge the two.
