Via Chefatron on Youtube we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Legacy Core Class Skywarp.
This figure is part of the first wave of Legacy Core class toys and it’s a direct redeco of the Kingdom Core Starscream mold. Unfortunately, Skywarp doesn’t come with any Null Ray cannons (the ones seen in the images are custom painted from a Core Starscream toy), and he comes with a new… fork-like weapon? that can be attached to the nose of the jet mode too. In any case, the figure has got all the things you like (or not) from the original Core Starscream mold and he looks great next to the other Core class figures.
Check out all the images on this news post, as well as Chefatron video review, after the jump.

Yeah like I said above, I fixed em both. But at least Screamer came with his guns so I could look past it to a degree. I like painting some stuff myself anyway so its not a real issue
SpaceWarp
They would'ved need to add a diffrent color, that is also a issue on Starscream but less noticable.

…and Starscream's chopsticks.

These are so cute but I'm glad I have the Thundercracker and Skywarp 2 pack.

It's actually more cost effective to toss the guns back into the molten plastic, re-melt them, and use it to make more toys than simply snipping them off the sprues and place them in the packaging

hasbro is a small independent company. please understand.
Neko-bot77
Costs more and getting less? Hasbro would never do that…

What gets my goat is Skywarp's spectacular tuning fork seems like less plastic mass than the 2 arm guns combined, and therefore a bit of a con.
Dexatronic
Like I said, esp when they skimp on the weapons.

These are legends figures. Not every single paint app is gonna be on there out of the box.
Dexatronic
Yeah added a bunch on Screamer. Still gotta add the stripes and leg details on Skywarp.

These are missing a ton of paint, it isn't just the pants. Its strange how good core Soundwave, Optimus and Megatron are while the jets have basically sucked.
AtomicGarden
I hope Thundercracker comes with a spoon, to go with Skywarp’s fork !
Dexatronic
Why they can't paint his pants I'll never understand. Esp when they skimp on the weapons. Make such a difference IMO.

If anyone has the Jinbao OS KOs of the NewAge Seekers, the extra 'Bombs' fit perfectly on the Core Class Skywarp to help replace his 'missing' nullrays:

[Of course, the Null Rays from the Jinbao guys also work, but they are a little long, plus then your Jinbao Seekers would be without Null Rays, leaving you back at Square 1…]

the good thing is it will probably not be scalped too hard

This is entirely it for me. Core Starscream had guns. It's a core part of his G1 design, just like the other Seekers.
Thankfully 3P and Shapeways exist. Shitty to spend extra money just in two guns for this guy but thems the breaks.

Also it's a straight repaint of a figure from a year ago that had the weapons.
