(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to Titanium War Within Thundercracker. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of Titanium War Within Thundercracker here.)

    War Within Skywarp here is the fourth use of the War Within Thundercracker mold, and following in the tradition of Skywarps, he's primarily purple and black. If you've read any of my reviews of previous Skywarp toys, you probably know by now that I absolutely love Skywarp's color scheme, but the particular shades of those colors used on this toy are particularly stunning. The shade of purple goes just wonderfully with all of the other colors, being not too light, but not too dark, either. The silver is a particularly nice shade, but what is really striking are the red accent paint apps, which are of a vibrant (but not too light/bright) color, and really give some great contrast to the figure. And Skywarp has no shortage of paint apps, either, so he looks all decked up in either mode.
    No mold changes have been made to War Within Skywarp.
    War Within Skywarp is my favorite Titanium, bar none-- even considering the slightly-inflated San Diego Comic-Con exclusive price. He's using one of the best Titanium molds as his base, and in an utterly fantastic color scheme with tons of paint apps. What's not to like?



Skywarp Bio:
UNIQUE FEATURE: Can teleport himself and others several miles.
“Out of sight, out of mind.” Those are the words Skywarp lives by, even though he doesn’t necessarily know it himself. When Megatron is around, he’s the most loyal of Decepticons, always standing rigidly at attention, acquiescing to every order given. Unfortunately, as soon as his commander walks out of the room, all thought of orders, protocol and practicality go with him. It’s not that Skywarp has a problem with authority. He just doesn’t care, is all. He’d rather be strafing unarmed noncombatants than engaging in risky missions.
The only thing that bugs him more than having to follow orders is having to work alongside guys with a lot of personal motivation. Guys like Starscream. When he isn’t going on and on about how much better a commander his is than Megatron, he’s forcing Skywarp into some new scheme to replace the big guy. Megatron is winning the war for the Decepticons. Why can’t Starscream just shut up and enjoy the ride?
