'''Skyquake''' is the leader of the [[Predator]]s with a complete and utter hatred for anybody who even barely dips into the side of good. In battle, Skyquake is a cold, calculating destroyer, attributes which also even apply to his contempt for the [[Autobot]]s. When he locks together with the smaller Predators under his command, he magnifies his long-range supersight abilities and enables him instant communication with the minds of his underlings.

''Alternate European name:'' '''Crash'''

==Fiction==
===Catalogue comic===

During a Decepticon Predator attack on the Autobot base, Skyquake gazed into his Supersight as he was about to join the battle. Suddenly, ''into his Supersight view looms a menacing shape that strikes terror even into his hardened heart...''

Presumably, [[Thunder Clash]] and Skyquake fought after this overly dramatic prose. Either him or [[Wheelie]].

===IDW comics continuity===
Back before the war, Skyquake is part of [[Clench]]'s inner-circle/gladitorial team. Once Clench has, how shall we say... departed, he fights alongside Megatron in the [[Forge]].

: Skyquake transforms into a large bomber jet, its model pretty much made-up but based (loosely) on an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR-71_Blackbird SR-71 Blackbird recon plane]. His primary gimmick is the "[[Megavisor]]", a periscope system that the smaller Predator jets can attach to, showing their slides. Skyquake himself has two built-in slides; in jet mode an image of [[Rotorstorm]] can be viewed, while the robot mode picture showing the unmade Autobot [[Turbomaster (Subgroup)|Turbomaster]] [[Hyperdrive (Turbomaster)|Hyperdrive]]. Each wing also contains a "carpet bombing" gimmick, a rolling drum that drops the Predator-style missiles. This can also be targeted via the Megavisor; by twisting the small tail wings at the back, a mirror swings into a 45 degree angle. When you look through the eyepiece, you can then see directly down relative to the jet, enabling you to see where the bombs will land. He also has a standard Predator hand-held missile launcher, which mounts under his jet mode.

: Skyquake was later [[redeco]]ed to make ''[[Machine Wars]]'' [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and ''[[Universe]]'' [[King Atlas]].

==Trivia==
* Skyquake ''might'' be the physical model for [[Operation Combination]]'s unseen Decepticon leader [[Scrash]].
