TFSource has listed preorders for the next two releases in the Japanese Transformers Generations series. TG-17 will be a Japanese release of Blaster, the remolded Soundwave who is coming to the US as well as a part of Voyager Wave 3. TG-18 is a completely new entry into the series – Skywarp! Skywarp is confirmed as a redeco of the Fall of Cybertron Starscream, and so far is only confirmed for a Japanese release. They are due to be released in May 2013.

I'm glad I'm not liking that figure, I don't need another exclusive that I need to import. I don't mind if the fig is worth it but I'm not digging that shade of purple and I don't really like the FOC design.

Hasbro would be nuts not to release their own Skywarp. Mostly because they use that design for him and Starscream in the IDW comics.
Chaosbringer
Agreed, I pre-ordered him, but if Hasbro does a Black one, he'll be my warpy and this one will be "purple seeker"

dunno, but i think that skywarp is gorgeous. not buying unless it reaches usa retail stores though.

Just occurred to me..
Skywarp's main color is black with Purple "details" and silver chest yet we're getting purple FOC Skywarp with Black/Gunnetal grey
Thundercracker is Blue with Black "details" and silverchest.. are we going to get a Black Thundercracker with Metalic Blue "details" ?

Skywarp makes total sense to me. What if he wasn't mostly black to begin with, and he gets his G1 colors after he scans a stealth fighter? He's preordered, but I won't hold my breath for Thundercracker, since he might just be a gambo or botcon exclusive on Games of Deception, FOC Edition.
peaces
agreed

A lot of people sleeping on this figure. Damn, must we always nitpick EVERYTHING?
Chaosbringer
Skywarp? meh.. looks more like one of those generic seekers, to me Skywarp is black and only has some purple and silver parts

I was planning on getting the Blaster version of the discs-bot mold but I gotta say that I'm just not feeling it with either from these pics. Seriously now thinking about skipping the entire mold and saving the shelf space.

blaster we know is planned for a hasbro release, but we've heard nothing on skywarp.

I was also noticing the lack of black on him but he still looks good enough to get. Was it mentioned that he or Blaster was Takara only?

G1Prowl
WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
JAYSCREAM
OMG! this just makes me think that hasbro or tt should sort a new mold for prime smokescreen, then BAM! we also get prime prowl and bluestreak. WINNING!

Skywarp looks pretty great. I definitely jumped on that amiami preorder, though I really need to stop importing crap
Kilowog
Already been on my bbts preorder list since they had it up. Definitely want TC too, because I liked their banter in that one level in WFC

is it just the pic or does blasters visor lower down over his eyes? it looks like a seam above it there… or i could just be seeing things…
Kantus Prime
Skywarp doesn't meet my black paint standards…. Could be the lighting though.
