Episode
Died In: Transformers: The Movie
Bio: Skywarp was one of the six elite Decepticon
jets along with Thundercracker, Dirge, Thrust, Ramjet, and their
commander, Starscream. Skywarp had the special ability to teleport
himself from one area to another to sneak up on Autobots during
combat. Skywarp at one time used a weapon which made the Autobots
get stuck in their vehicle modes with the help of his teleportation
power.
Cause of Death: In the battle at Autobot City,
Skywarp was heavily damaged along with Megatron, Thundercracker,
Shrapnel, Kickback, and Bombshell. In order for the Decepticons
to make it back to Cybertron on board Astrotrain, they had to
"jettison some weight". The Decepticons voted that the 6 injured
Decepticons should be thrown out, since they will probably die
anyways. Skywarp and the rest were thrown out of Astrotrain and
the healthy Decepticons left for Cybertron. Later, the 6 Decepticons
meet up with the giant monster planet, Unicron. After much bargaining,
Megatron agrees for him and his 5 soldiers to be "reformatted"
with new bodies so they can defeat the new Autobot leader, Ultra
Magnus to get the Autobot matrix of leadership. After the reformatting,
Skywarp became Cyclonus, Galvatron's (Megatron's) new second-in-command.
