'''Sky Garry''' (スカイギャリー ''Sukai Gyarī'') is [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Star Convoy]]'s right-hand man. He has a great respect for the legendary Autobot Supreme Commander and was the one who brought Star Convoy back from the dead. Kinda creepy.

His special attack is his "Mystery Circle Punch", which is really just a regular punch, but don't tell anybody that. He can combine with Star Convoy and [[Grandus (ROC)|Grandus]] in vehicle mode to form the [[Triple Combination Battlestar Attack]].

His [[Micromaster]] partner is [[Shotbomber]].

==Fiction==
===''The Battlestars''===
Encountering an advance group of [[Dark Nova]]'s [[Galaman]] warriors sent from an asteroid, Sky Garry dispatched them with his "Mystery Circle Punch".

[[Image:GarryGalaman1.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Bad touch!]]

To counter the threat of Dark Nova, the Autobots formed an elite sub-group known as the [[Battlestars]]. Their mission was to revive [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] so that he might thwart Dark Nova. Sky Garry received the [[Zodiac]] from [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]] and was inaugurated as temporary Autobot Supreme Commander, at least until Prime was back on his feet again. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)|The Battlestars Part 1}}

Sky Garry then enlisted the youthful rookie, [[Sixliner]] into the Battlestars after watching an impressive battle between him and a horde of energy-plundering Galaman warriors. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)|The Battlestars Part 2}}

Aware of the mission of the Battlestars, Dark Nova stole Optimus Prime's body and cloned it as the evil [[False Convoy]]. Sky Garry and [[Grandus (ROC)|Grandus]] managed to defeat False Convoy before he could kill Sixliner. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)|The Battlestars Part 3}} After False Convoy's defeat, Sky Garry rescued the fallen Supreme Commander's corpse from the [[Novaroid]] forces on planet [[Lucifer]]. Using the power of the Zodiac, Sky Garry brought Optimus Prime back to life and upgraded him into Star Convoy. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)|The Battlestars Part 4}}

Later, Sky Garry was stuck out in space battling the remaining Novaroid and Galaman soldiers around planet Lucifer. He was concerned about Star Convoy and Sixliner facing [[Megatron (G1)|Super Megatron]] alone on [[Earth]], frustrated he couldn't be there to help. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (manga)|The Battlestars special}}

[[Image:SkyGarry1.jpg|200px|thumb|Sky Garry, Star Convoy and Grandus inside Star Giant's tummy.]]

Sky Garry eventually joined the other Battlestars in a space battle against Super Megatron and his [[Galaman|Great Galaman]] warriors. Combining into the [[Triple Combination Battlestar Attack]], they shot Super Megatron to pieces. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)|The Battlestars Part 7}}

Dark Nova then revealed himself and upgraded Super Megatron into Ultra Megatron. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)|The Battlestars Part 8}} Then after that, the Decepticon Emperor merged with Ultra Megatron to become the [[Dark Nova|Star Giant]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)|The Battlestars Part 9}} Sky Garry and the other Battlestars traveled into Star Giant's stomach and took the behemoth apart from the inside-out, narrowly escaping just as their foe exploded and died. {{storylink|Fight!

*'''Sky Garry''' (Autobot, 1991)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-360'''
**''Accessories:'' Two guns, ramp, Micro Trailer #0

: Sky Garry transforms into a Cybertronic starship with landing skids. His middle section is expandible, allowing him to carry up to three [[Micro Trailer|Micro Trailers]], though he only comes with one. His trailer is labeled #0. His third mode is a Micromaster base, unique in that it is a large tower. In this mode Sky Garry is ''supposed'' to unite with up to two Micro Trailers via the small hole bottom center on each side, more oddly the ''only '' toy to use these holes, but for unknown reasons the [[5mm post|5mm peg]] was beveled to uselessness. He still combines via ramp to a third Microtrailer, or with Sonic Bomber, or with any other Micromaster base. The ramp was the same one used by [[Skyhopper]] and [[Groundshaker]] to connect to other bases.

:Sky Garry's sticker sheet contained a phenomenal 65 decals — not including the 4 optional star decals that one could apply anywhere on the Battlestars. Only 5 of those decals were for Shotbomber, 5 more were for the Micro Trailer, the other 50 were applied to Sky Garry. This gave Sky Garry 53 labels (including the three factory-applied ones), providing him much of his colour and detail. Good luck getting them to stick, twenty years later, particularly the red stripes on the legs. Sky Garry also came with an exclusive Micromaster partner, Shotbomber.

==Notes==
[[Image:DeathGarrygun.jpg|thumb|350px|Not Fire Guts Sky Garry.]]
* According to ''[[Transformers Generations|Transformers Generations Deluxe]]'', "Star Garry" was a pre-production name for the character.
*Both Sky Garry and Grandus have special attacks relating to things considered "mysterious". In Sky Garry's case, the "mystery circle" of his "Mystery Circle Punch" is the Japanese term for "crop circle". What this was actually supposed to connote is uncertain, but as far as it is known, the attack does not utilize wheat in any way.
* Sky Garry's mold was [[redeco]]ed into the evil "Deathgarrygun" (デスギャリガン ''Desugyarigan'') mecha for [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''Brave of Gold Goldran'' series. This version came with three [[Micro Trailer]]s, but all of the launching mechanisms were removed from them. This was just one of several late-series ''Transformers'' molds recycled for a [[Brave (franchise)|Brave]] toyline. The Deathgarrygun toy would later become fairly easy to obtain thanks to its reissue by [[Sonokong]] in South Korea. [http://sak2-2.tok2.com/home/transrave/brave_series/gold09_deathgarrygun.html Deathgarrygun toy gallery at a Japanese fansite.]
* The word "Garry" isn't an English word, prompting fans to wonder what it's supposed to mean. Sadly, in the end, no one really knows...
:One theory is that Sky Garry's name is a misspelling of "Sky Carry". There is some support for this theory: First, the difference in Japanese between the Katakana for the "Ca" sound and for the "Ga" sound is just two tiny lines. Second, "Garry" is a commonly used suffix in Japanese names for transforming robots that transport ("carry") other robots or vehicles. The criticism of this theory is that while bad transliterations (i.e. the word is spelled right in Japanese, just converted to English wrong) are fairly common in Japanese names, Katakana misspellings of the Japanese words are much less common. Thus, it seems somewhat unlikely that decades of Japanese robots using the name "Garry" are simply misspelling it.
:Another theory is that Garry is short for "Garrison". The support for this theory is that Japanese versions of English words are often shortened versions, such as the Japanese word "Ice" used for "Ice Cream". However, "Garrison" seems like a poorer description than "Carry" for the transportation robots that are generally named "Garry" in Japan.
:The most obscure theory is that Garry is a mistransliteration of [[Wikipedia:Galley|Galley]], which is a type of ancient war ship. The advantage that this theory has over the "Carry" theory is that "Galley" and "Garry" have the same Japanese Katakana spelling. This means that it would be a bad transliteration, like "Minelba" vs. "Minerva", which is much more common than an incorrect Katakana spelling. However, like the "Garrison" theory, "Galley" is criticized for not being as good a descriptor of the transportation robots (both ground and air types) that are named "Garry".
* In the mid to late-1990s, Sky Garry was one of the most commonly [[Knockoff|bootlegged]] Transformers, appearing in several different sizes. Most of them were carded and of poor quality. The carded ones are notable for their extra chrome pieces and separating legs. There was also a bootleg Sky Garry in box packaging from another manufacturer, which saw release at Toys "R" Us in the mid-1990's under the name "Convert-A-Bot Cybertron FX-7". This bootleg was of surprisingly high quality and included his Microtrailer but with the Growl mold rather than Shotbomber's.

:''Antagony is a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] from the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:BW Antagony boxart.jpg|right|270px|thumb|Eye boobies? Segmented eye boobies!]]
The mysterious future-Predacon '''Antagony''' is the [[Herald Maximo]] of the fearsome Predacon warlord [[Shokaract]], second only to Shokaract himself. She is utterly ruthless and without a shred of pity or mercy, and harbors a secret death-feud against the upstart Predacon [[Cataclysm (BW)|Cataclysm]] who threatens her position. Though utterly loyal to Shokaract, she will do anything short of open revolt to make sure she remains the Herald Maximo. Antagony's armor makes her virtually invulnerable to pain and it has been speculated that she enjoys inflicting it so much just so she can attempt to understand the utterly alien sensation.

==Fiction==
===3H continuity===
====''Beast Wars'' BotCon Script Reading====
:''Voice actress:'' [[Susan Blu]]

The time-traveling Antagony described herself as [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s doom, his destruction, and his worst enemy. Megatron naturally assumed this meant she was [[Raksha]]. Antagony corrected this misunderstanding. {{storylink|Visitations}}

====Tales of the Beast Wars====
[[Image:Herald Cataclysm's Ko-tu.jpg|300px|right|thumb|I. Am. VERY. Happy. For. You. Cataclysm.]]

In the 32nd century, Antagony rose to become one of the elite [[Herald of Shokaract|Heralds of Shokaract]]. Ambitious and coveting the title of [[Herald Maximo]], Antagony quickly forged a mutual hatred with her rival for the position, [[Cataclysm (BW)|Cataclysm]]. Their private feuding nearly went public during the all-important [[Horus Campaign|campaign]] against [[Horus]], an immensely powerful warlord and self-proclaimed god who drew limitless power from the sun itself, and opposed Shokaract's expansion. Whereas Antagony committed her forces to an elaborate diversion in order to get in close and battle Horus face-to-face, Cataclysm simply blew up the sun. With his power source gone, Horus quickly fell before Antagony, but her personal victory was stolen from her, as Shokaract gave credit to both her and Cataclysm for the win. Antagony and Cataclysm continued their vendetta, with Antagony scoring several minor victories. First, she arranged for Cataclysm's favored [[Cub|fission-brother]] to be given a nearly impossible assassination before he could prove his worth as a potential Herald. She also exposed Cataclysm's fear of time travel, thus securing a prized mission for herself. {{storylink|Herald, Covenant, Schism, Paradox|Herald}}

Traveling back in time, Antagony was seeking to preserve the [[Dark Essence]]. The Maximals [[Packrat]] and [[Onyx Primal]] managed to temporarily divert her attention towards [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], but Megatron in turn painted the incoming [[Optimus Primal]] as his ally, leading Antagony to attack him. She was damaged in battle with Primal, and fell at Megatron's feet. She briefly attempted to take [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] hostage in order to make Megatron back off, and it surprisingly worked for a few moments...but then a stray cloud of dust made her sneeze and blow Wazzzzpinator's head clean off. This last energy discharge consumed what was left of her energy, and she went into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Visitations}}

[[Image:Antagony megatron.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Hey! My eyes are down here.]]

Megatron spent long hours in his torture chamber attempting to break Antagony and uncover her secrets. When conventional methods failed, he turned towards one of [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]]'s favorite toys—a [[mind-drill]] that employed invasive nano-probes. Antagony ultimately succumbed to the nano-invasion, but a failsafe device built into her skull by Shokaract utterly destroyed her mind before Megatron could retrieve any useful information. {{storylink|Herald, Covenant, Schism, Paradox|Herald}}

Antagony continued to serve Shokaract even after death. Once Shokaract himself traveled back in time to [[Point Omega]] in order to protect the Dark Essence, he was assaulted by the united Beast Warriors and [[Covenant]]. To clear away the distractions, Shokaract retrieved Antagony and restored her mind. Alongside a similarly-revived Cataclysm, she was sent to destroy her master's foes while Shokaract himself defended the Dark Essence. Both eventually perished in battle, Antagony at the hands of Leonicus and Ariex. {{storylink|Terminus (issue)|Terminus}}

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Image:BWAscending4 Antagony capsule.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Everybody wants to feel the eye boobies.]]
Antagony was not an agent of [[Shokaract]] from the future as she believes at all, but in reality was an experimental creation of the [[Vok]] sent through various realities by those enigmatic aliens to cause trouble and test the limits of the Cybertronian organism. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #1}}

Meanwhile, Antagony '''''is''''' a Herald of Shokaract and ultimately, [[Unicron]]. When the vessel for Unicron's return engaged the Maximals in battle, Antagony and the other Heralds distributed [[Angolmois]] energy capsules amongst Cybertron's population in an effort to sow dissent and chaos. The Heralds were defeated and ultimately fled when [[Magmatron]] pulled Shokaract into limbo and convinced him to destroy himself to prevent Unicron's victory. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}

: Antagony is a black and lavender [[redeco]] of the Predacon ant [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]], one of two exclusive toys from the [[BotCon 1998]] convention in Anaheim, California. Her beast-mode mandibles conceal a missile launcher weapon, plus her abdomen splits open to form spinning blades surrounding a quad-jet thruster. Only 600 pieces were made of her and [[Vice Grip]].
