'''Skyblast''' is an aerial daredevil. Feeling himself literally above all the others, he doesn't want people's friendship, but he will happily take their admiration. He corkscrews through the air easily, creating intricate patterns with his exhaust fumes while downing [[Decepticon]] fliers left and right.

==Fiction==
===Defiance===
Skyblast contacted [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] to let him know that the battle was over and Megatron was returning. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3}}
===Titan Magazines===
As a recruit, Skyblast underwent training missions with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], said training being "attack that heavily armed Decepticon base!" Skyblast provided the covering fire for that one. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5|Lost In Space 3: Ironhide}}

He's gone up in the world since then. Skyblast was seemingly the leader of the Autobot reinforcements hiding on the moon. He knew all they had going for them was the element of surprise - he ''didn't'' know the Decepticons knew about them {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} until [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was right on top of them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} He was unable to put up any fight and was almost speared by [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], and the quicker-thinking [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] took charge. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Skyblast headed for his pre-designated target of [[Hoover Dam]] and in the resulting battle against [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], he was nearly killed until [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] stepped in. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}}

Aside from finding the [[All Spark]] fragment {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}}, Skyblast's main contribution on Earth has been engaging in multiple battles to protect human sites and convoys from Decepticon attack. The fact the Autobots' are outnumbered is getting to him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

When the Autobots headed off to Cybertron, he was the first to notice Cybertron had come to ''them'' and [[Unicron|looked a bit different]]... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} He contributed in the battle against the Unicron-possessed Cybertron, only to return to Earth and find the Decepticons had taken over a large swathe of America. He was grouchy about the [[United States Military]] giving the Autobots a cold reception, but was told to button it by Ironhide. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

Skyblast played a key role in rescuing [[Mikaela Banes]], flying over the battle and releasing a sound-emitting device that scattered an unprepared Decepticon airforce. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

*'''Skyblast''' (Scout, 2007)

: A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]] mold, Skyblast transforms into a Cybertronic starfighter. He comes with multiple accessories that can attach to his jet mode for rocket-boosters and an underslung cannon. In robot mode, these parts re-assemble to form a giant spear.

: This mold was also used to make his fellow movieverse Autobot [[Air Raid (Movie)|Air Raid]].

: Skyblast is part of the second assortment of Target-stores [[exclusive]] Scouts.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* This mold was also used as the basis for the non-transforming ''[[Attacktix]]'' Decepticon piece [[Thrust (Attacktix)|Thrust]], as well as the CGI models for [[Backslash]] and pre-beast [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] in "[[Theft of the Golden Disk]]".
* The stock photography for Skyblast in robot mode shows his nosecone in a configuration that is impossible without removing it and re-attaching it; pointed backwards off of his head with the cockpit towards the sky.
