Gen Skywarp TotY 2015 2
-3rd Annual Best of List(s)-
Top 6 Toys Of The Year (2015) - Generations Skywarp - #6
This mold has always been one of my favorites. It has pained me since 2013 - when I first started doing this, that I hadn’t had a chance to put either of the FOC Starscream or Thundercracker molds on my Toys of the Year list. I don’t know if this was a major oversight on my part...or maybe I picked them both up in 2012 which excluded them from being on that years list..whatever the reason may be - I finally fixed that.
I stumbled across Skywarp sometime last year (early 2015) at my closest Walmart. Revisiting this mold after a few years has solidified the FOC Seeker mold as one of my all time favorites. I’ve talked about my love affair with transforming robot jets on here before. This stems from a nostalgia filled glossy eyed bias towards Macross. Obviously this carried over to the seekers in Transformers.
Transforming jets have always been my jam and usually it’s the classic looking jets that get my attention, ambiguous space jets, not so much....BUT this mold is the one that made me change my mind, or at the very least - look past my nostalgia glasses. The pose-ability in robot mode is superb, the transformation is solid fun, and just the aesthetics alone in both modes make me ecstatic to own all three of the varieties this mold has to offer.
And now that I own all three variations (Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp), I can safely say that Skywarp sports my favorite colors of the bunch. The purple absolutely pops from around the black trim. Beautifully done all the way around.
