<br />
In the annals of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] history, truly there can be no greater poet than '''Sky-Byte'''. While he might be a [[Decepticon]], so breathtaking is his work that even the mightiest of [[Autobot]]s revere it!<br />
<br />
On the other hand, they might just be afraid to criticize his work, because he looks freaking terrifying.<br />

When [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] wrote up the events of [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]]'s upgrading and training for his memoirs, he prefaced the tale with a poetically relevant haiku of Sky-Byte's. {{storylink|First (and Second) in Flight}} {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac|The AllSpark Almanac}}<br />

Sky-Byte was part of the new [[Team Chaar]], led by [[Strika (Animated)|Strika]], who assaulted Cybertron after [[Team Stunticon]]'s failed attempt to free [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] from prison. {{storylink|The Stunti-Con Job}}<br />

[[Image:Sky_Byte_by_BillForster.jpg||right|thumb|200px|'''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!''']]<br />
* Seriously, his face in the ''The AllSpark Almanac II'' will give you nightmares.<br />
* Back in 2008, [[Derrick J. Wyatt|Derrick Wyatt]] drew up his own version of ''Animated'' Sky-Byte, which he later revealed on [http://yfrog.com/cbpwufj his Twitter account]. It, uh, looks nothing like the one that appears in the ''Almanac'', and is much less terrifying. Jim has stated that had that sketch been made available to him at the time of writing, Wyatt's version would have been what was in the Almanac.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-general-discussion/311376-allspark-almanac-vol-ii-spoilers-26.html#post5356371]</ref> <br />
* [[Jim Sorenson]] and [[Bill Forster]] hinted early on that Sky-Byte was a [[retool]] of [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]], and his design in "[[The Stunti-Con Job]]" reflects this; Lugnut's Cybertronian body, with the head and color scheme of RID Sky-Byte.<br />
* Sky-Byte was originally to recite a pre-battle haiku in the live script reading of "The Stunti-Con Job" at [[BotCon 2011]], but he and the other Team Chaar members' lines were cut for time and ease on the actors.<br />
