[edit] Not Intelligent?
Skywarp's (GEN 1) tech-specs did indeed describe himi as being not terribly bright. HOWEVER: On the graph thingy, Skywapr's intelligence weighed in at 9. Anyone understand this?71.34.68.213 20:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- From the page itself, conveniently located at "article" above-
- (Note: For some reason, the stats on Skywarp's, Starscream's and Thundercracker's tech specs were switched around. Skywarp was given Starscream's numbers, which explains his high intelligence and rank.)

[edit] Speed?
Skywarp's (GEN 1) speed was 7, the same as most of the Autobot cars, and actually slower than Optimus Prime. Prime is a tractor-trailer, Skywarp is a fighter jet! WTF?71.34.68.213 20:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- First: Actually, Skywarp's speed was 10, though that was intended for Starscream; Thundercracker's speed, meant for Skywarp, was 9. It was Machine Wars Skywarp that had speed 7.
- Second: Tech spec numbers are often really weird, and Prime's in particular are consistently very high. --Andrusi 23:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, it was just Skywarp's and Starscream's stats that were switched. Thundercracker's stats are correct. Bob Budanski's stat grid for the 1984 line confirms this. --FortMax 00:43, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- "Skywarp's (GEN 1) speed was 7, the same as most of the Autobot cars, and actually slower than Optimus Prime. Prime is a tractor-trailer, Skywarp is a fighter jet!" Hell,he's a TELEPORTING fighter jet even! -- Decepticon Rhinox 20:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Subtitle error
I kinda feel tempted to add how dutch subtitles for G1 embaressingly call him stanwell in the key to vector sigma,but i also feel it's not worth adding. So i'm gonna need the opinion of a few other people here. 86.87.28.191 20:35, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- I don't recall Skywarp being in either part of The Key to Vector Sigma. -- SFH 20:40, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'll check my dvd's to make sure which ep it was. there's many embaressing mistakes in the subtitles,Huffer interestingly becomes hauler,Prowl becomes "POW!",Motormaster becomes Movefastor,etc etc etc. Also there was either Autobods or Ottobots,I'd Have to check which one it is.86.87.28.191 21:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- That's not a subtle subtitle error! -Derik 21:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- How is it not one? -- 86.87.28.191 19:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Look up the word 'subtle', then you'll know why it's not subtle. Jeep! 02:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pushing down stairs
What's the deal with all the references to Skywarp pushing Decepticons down stairs?—Starfield 17:23, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- I got this off M Sipher's site, in reference to Skywarp's main pic:
| “ | Any rate, this Skywarp picture. It's great. He's got this wonderful evil smirk, and he's pumping his fist in the air. Liquid Velcro! described the picture as if "Skywarp had just watched Ramjet slip on the roller skate he put in front of the stairs"... which then struck most of us in the chat room as a very, very, very Skywarp thing to do. The vision so easily popped into my head. He puts the skate down, Ramjet slips on it and tumbles face-first down a flight of stairs... and Skywarp just goes "Heheheheheh. AWESOME." and pumps his fist in the air.
Skywarp pushing people down stairs and laughing about it basically became, to us, the Official Skywarp Thing, despite his having never done that in any offical fiction. | ” |
- That's pretty much it. Awesome Guido art + a Transfan's active imagination gave us Skywarp's love of pushing people down stairs. I agree wholeheartedly. --Detour 17:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- It was mentioned so much, I figured it must be some kind of inside joke. Thanks for the info! Starfield 17:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, so THAT explains it. Honestly, I think it's way overdone. When I first saw it in a caption, it didn't make me laugh; it just made me squint and wonder if I'd forgotten some bit of G1 lore. Seeing it over and over again made it no more funny and no less confusing. - Jackpot 17:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well, if you'll recall his original tech specs, he's a cruel prankster who's not too bright. So... pushing people down stairs. It's right up his alley. --Detour 17:56, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hahaha. Funny this came up now, because this is my Classics Decepticon display as of two hours ago:
