An early flight-capable recruit to Megatron's Decepticon movement, Skywarp has spent millions of years in loyal service to the Decepticon cause, frequently putting his teleportation ability to use. When modern sociopolitical developments ended the war and altered the Autobot/Decepticon landscape, Skywarp remained a staunch Decepticon, unlike his fellow Seekers. But soon he, too, felt disillusioned, more so with his new leader than the cause, leading him to do the unthinkable: (reluctantly) join up with humans, who promised to take care of his malfunctioning powers.
