Allegiance: Decepticon

Function: Warrior

Motto: "Strike when the enemy isn't looking."

Profile:  Skywarp is the sneakiest of the Decepticons. On Cybertron he was known to appear out of nowhere in the middle of peaceful Autobots villages to rain terror and destruction upon them, if the mood fell upon him. He'll even use his teleportation poweres to play a prank on a fellow Decepticon. Everyone enjoys this except the butt of his joke since Skywarp's sense of humor tends to be rather cruel and physically abusive. Skywarp isn't too smart and would be totally useless without the supervision of Megatron.

Abilities: Skywarp can reach a top speed of 1500 mph. But what makes him unique is his ability to instantly teleport himself a maximus distance of 2.5 miles. He also carries a heat seeking missile launcher and a variable-calibler machine gun.

Weaknesses: Skywarp's control of the accuracy of his teleportation power diminishes as the distance he teleports increases. As a result, if he's not too careful, he's likely to crash into things when he arrives at where he's teleporting. Not being too bright doesn't help him avoid thses accidents either.

Allegiance:: Decepticon

Live Journal:: http://purplepoof.livejournal.com

First Appearance:: With this 'mun? Falling down from the sky.

Profile::  Skywarp used to have lots of history with these guys, however his mun left and a new one replaced the previous he had a glitch in his warp drive which sent him out into space instead of where he wanted to go. After trying to warp back several times and only finding himself further and further away, Warp found himself accosted by 'a giant set of metal tentacles' (identity still unknown), who proceeded to beat

the everloving stuffing out of our poor seeker. Skywarp escaped, but he was highly damaged and was unable to switch to his alt-mode, so it took him a while to make it home. Needless to say, the travel through space with breached armour was not good for his systems.

When he finally returned to Earth, Skywarp was severely damaged. He was retrieved and fixed up physically, but he has major problems with his memory banks that don't look like they'll recover. He remembers random things from his past, but nothing is solid from after the point where he and TC adopted their two 'kids', Runabout and Runamuck. In addition to memory issues, Warp is also a lot more leery of using his warp systems. He'll port if he absolutely has to, but prefers to walk or fly now, if at all possible.

Warp's memory issues have created tensions within 'The Family', as he knows that he is bonded to TC, but forgot about the bonds between TC and Bee. He's rather jealous of Bee still (although things have gotten better with time and high-grade) and doesn't care who knows it. Something's going to happen eventually when the tension peaks, but for now, they're just circling each other warily while TC face palms. Amusingly, he's fallen back into a relationship with Fireflight in a really easy manner, with few problems at all (if any).

In general, Warp's not a shy sort of mech. He'll eagerly rush into battle if it looks fun and doesn't think too much about strategy. He also has a taste for pranks and he'll annoy random mechs if he's boerd. In short: he's retarded and the only reason why he's survived this long is because TC has his back. He knows this, which is why he's so stuck to TC. They're a pair, and he's not going to let anything get in the way of that.

One thing to note about Warp is that he's got the stereotypical flier's snootiness towards groundbound mechs. He generally doesn't let it bother him too much and doesn't really avoid flight-incapable mechs. He will, however, insult people by calling them dirthumpers or rockbiters or whatever else he can come up with.

In terms of humans, Skywarp's unopinionated. He doesn't despise them, but neither does he like them. If anything, he looks down upon them because their physical frailty and their inability to fly. Ironically, he enjoys bouncing around every now and then in holo!form, although this is mostly because his holo is female, and he's fascinated with the idea of breasts. He and Mikaela have a strange sort of friendship set up (don't tell her, but he thinks of her as a slightly more intelligent pet 8D)
