Switched at Birth.

I very much like the rationale you've put behind that Paulbot, it's highly sensical and could be very likely IMO.
Like Budiansky was up really bloody late that night working on the 3 and made slight hiccups, or Hasbro lost the paper-clips binding the various facets together and completely confused the lot of paperwork.

Imagine if that was the case and Hasbro came out and said it...... chaos!

I've wondered if perhaps the stats and the matching picture were originally correct, but they changed the names and bios. Perhaps the fast and high ranked black jet was supposed to be Starscream (you see stars in a black sky), the dumb blue jet was supposed to be Skywap (the sky is blue), and the grey jet was supposed to be Thundercracker (you get Thunder with grey cloudy skies).

So that's why the Starscream in the Prime 2 pack is Skywarpy in colour...

I like your thinking there Paulbot, can only imagine the crazy backlash that would arise from fans (of all three characters) if Hasbro ever came out and revealed such info!

Frenzy and Rumble
that is all


but seriously I can't think of any actual cases of transformers being "switched at birth" pokemon on the other hand ....

So that's why the Starscream in the Prime 2 pack is Skywarpy in colour...

And Beast Wars II Starscream.
