Deskbot today is Beast Machines Skywarp! ​:decepticon:​

My first non-mainstream purchase way back when, Skywarp is a BotCon exclusive toy based on the Jetstorm mold. When people see jets in Transformers it is inevitable they think G1 seekers but I'm glad they did here because this redeco is fabulous! Orange on a Skywarp!? IT TOTALLY WORKS.

He's joined today by "Sonic Attack Jet", meant to represent the generic Army-build Jetstorm drones from the show but if you can't think of another G1 Seeker in blue with a sonic attack then I'm afraid we can't be friends.

Redeco Rating: 10/10

Skywarp in his very cool jet mode, mostly black but picked out with purple, darker purple, yellow, orange and silver highlights.
In the Show Jetstorm could do an extendy goose-neck thing in Jet mode to talk to people, using the cockpit as an ersatz head. The toy replicates this trick! Goofy! Fun!
Detail from the top of the jet mode. A panel is opened to reveal the 'Spark Crystal'. In the show Sparks (a.k.a souls) were glowing blobs of energy but obvs toys can't do that so Crystal in transparent plastic it became. This one has the Decepticon logo on it revealling Skywarp is no simple drone....
Skywarp and Sonic Attack Jet looking moody like landed Hawks. You can show their wing tips backwards or swept forwards. Here Skywarp has the former, S.A.J has the latter.

I feel like #Cheetor was the perfect surrogate for kids watching #BeastWars. He was the #Maximals' resident teenager: cool, cocky, and overconfident, but had his heart in the right place and looked up to the adults (#OptimusPrimal and #Tigatron).

We saw him "grow up" as the show progressed (marked neatly by his #transmetal evolutions). Then, in #BeastMachines, he took up responsibility for the team and grew into a respectable leader when Optimus lost himself.
