:&#039;&#039;Skyquake is a [[Decepticon]] [[Predator]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Skyquake.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Taste the &#039;&#039;pain&#039;&#039;bow.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Skyquake&#039;&#039;&#039; is the leader of the [[Predator]]s with a complete and utter hatred for anybody who even barely dips into the side of good. That rage, however, does not blind or control him. 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 instant communication with the minds of his underlings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skyquake even hates the small groups of Decepticons put under his command, and often subjects them to his experiments in [[body-type|body-structure]] science. His hatred is magnified by the sheer amounts of sensors built into his body; he&#039;s able to absorb such vast amounts of information, his apparent clairvoyance seems supernatural to those around him.  He can literally smell fear and taste betrayal.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s currently unknown what is up with his [[Neon|paint job]]. Theories range from malfunctioning [[Sensors|optical sensors]] to never seeing his own reflection. &lt;br /&gt;

During a Decepticon Predator attack on the Autobot base, Skyquake gazed into his Supersight as he was about to join the battle. Suddenly, &#039;&#039;into his Supersight view looms a menacing shape that strikes terror even into his hardened heart...&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

Back before the war, Skyquake was part of [[Clench (G2)|Clench]]&#039;s inner-circle/gladiatorial team. Once Clench had, how shall we say... departed, he fought alongside Megatron in the [[Forge]].  {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:LastStandoftheWreckers1-whycouldntyou.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Shot in the heart and you&#039;re to blame!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Millions of years later, during a galaxy-wide assault on Autobot-held positions, Skyquake led his [[Predator]]s in a siege against the [[Garrus-9]] prison world. Unfortunately, when that loose cannon [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] arrived, Skyquake was visibly distraught. At first Overlord asked Skyquake nicely to hand over leadership to him; he refused to be Megatron&#039;s lapdog and had his own plans for Garrus-9. After some stammering, Skyquake refused. He would take Garrus-9 for Megatron as ordered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overlord apologized and fired into Skyquake&#039;s back as he walked away.  As the Predators stood over Skyquake&#039;s smoking corpse, they viewed their new master in wide-eyed fear.  {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:WingsofHonor-Skyraiders.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The odd thing is, he has no taste receptors.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Skyquake, known as a leader in body-structure science, particularly in creating unique &amp;quot;talent powers&amp;quot; and war-capable designs, developed an experimental [[Seeker (body-type)|Skyraider]] body refitting program.  [[Leozack]] was his first test subject for this new body design, and soon Skyquake had converted not only several others but also himself.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]]&#039;s command, Skyquake, Leozack, [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]], [[Hellbat]], and [[Gaihawk]], followed the Autobot ship &#039;&#039;[[Eight Track]]&#039;&#039; to the planet [[Beta-Nine]], where they hoped to beat them to a mysterious cargo that had crashed there aboard the &#039;&#039;[[Van De Graaff]].&#039;&#039; Skyquake, Leozack, and Hooligan attacked the Autobots, separating the crew&#039;s [[Kup (G1)|youngest member]] from them.  The Autobots&#039; commander, [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]], drove Skyquake and the others away with a barrage of firepower, allowing his crew to escape into the trees where the Decepticons would have to fight them on the ground smart thinking considering they turn into jets.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skyquake departed after Thunder Clash and ordered Leozack and Hooligan to kill the remaining two Autobots, [[Landshark]] and [[Flak]].  Unfortunately, Skyquake and the others were defeated and brought back to Cybertron as prisoners. The battle on Beta-Nine began the Autobot/Decepticon civil war.  {{storylink|Wings of Honor}}&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Missile launcher, 14 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:G1Skyquake toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Blue meanie. If the Blue Meanie was green.]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Skyquake transforms into a large bomber jet, its model pretty much made-up but based (loosely) on an [[Wikipedia:SR-71 Blackbird|SR-71 Blackbird recon plane]]. His primary gimmick is the &amp;quot;[[Megavisor]]&amp;quot;, 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 [[Unreleased toy|unmade]] Autobot [[Turbomaster]] [[Hyperdrive (Turbomaster)|Hyperdrive]]. Each wing also contains a &amp;quot;carpet bombing&amp;quot; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Skyquake&#039;s scope is prone to [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]], and is very delicate. It can break rather violently if one of the smaller Predator jets is attached to him. So don&#039;t do it. Attach them to [[Stalker (G1)|Stalker]] instead. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Skyquake was later [[redeco]]ed (with neutered gimmicks and no handgun) to make &#039;&#039;[[Machine Wars]]&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and &#039;&#039;[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; [[King Atlas]].&lt;br /&gt;

: Skyquake is a [[redeco]] of &#039;&#039;[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], available [[exclusive]]ly at [[BotCon 2009]]. The existence of this figure was first announced by artist [[Andrew Wildman]] (who drew the character&#039;s profile art) in a blog post on [[February 23]], 2009... and apparently Wildman jumped the gun a bit, as he soon had to delete the posting.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://andrewwildman.blogspot.com/2009/02/skyquake.html Andrew Wildman&#039;s blog]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skyquake transforms into a jet fighter loosely based upon the F/A-22 Raptor. The toy features numerous spots of sculpted battle damage. He comes with two very large accessories, a sword and a non-firing blaster, which can combine to form a really larger sword and/or non-firing blaster. In jet mode he has two wing-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers, which can flip up over his robot-mode shoulders.  Limited to 1500 sets, Skyquake came bagged with [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also redecoed as &#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039; Energon Starscream and BotCon 2009&#039;s [[Leozack]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Skyquake &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; be the physical model for &#039;&#039;[[Operation Combination (franchise)|Operation Combination]]&#039;&#039;&#039;s unseen Decepticon leader [[Scrash]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s currently unknown what is up with his [[Neon|paint job]]. Theories range from malfunctioning [[Sensors|optical sensors]] to never seeing his own reflection. &lt;br /&gt;

During a Decepticon Predator attack on the Autobot base, Skyquake gazed into his Supersight as he was about to join the battle. Suddenly, &#039;&#039;into his Supersight view looms a menacing shape that strikes terror even into his hardened heart...&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Presumably, [[Thunder Clash]] and Skyquake fought after this overly dramatic prose. Either him or [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]].&lt;br /&gt;

Back before the war, Skyquake was part of [[Clench (G2)|Clench]]&#039;s inner-circle/gladiatorial team. Once Clench had, how shall we say... departed, he fought alongside Megatron in the [[Forge]].  {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}&lt;br /&gt;

Millions of years later, during a galaxy-wide assault on Autobot-held positions, Skyquake led his [[Predator]]s in a siege against the [[Garrus-9]] prison world. Unfortunately, when that loose cannon [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] arrived, Skyquake was visibly distraught. At first Overlord asked Skyquake nicely to hand over leadership to him; he refused to be Megatron&#039;s lapdog and had his own plans for Garrus-9. After some stammering, Skyquake refused. He would take Garrus-9 for Megatron as ordered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overlord apologized and fired into Skyquake&#039;s back as he walked away.  As the Predators stood over Skyquake&#039;s smoking corpse, they viewed their new master in wide-eyed fear.  {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}}&lt;br /&gt;

Skyquake, known as a leader in body-structure science, particularly in creating unique &amp;quot;talent powers&amp;quot; and war-capable designs, developed an experimental [[Seeker (body-type)|Skyraider]] body refitting program.  [[Leozack]] was his first test subject for this new body design, and soon Skyquake had converted not only several others but also himself[[Image:http://www.unicron.us/g/image/?wdir=tf2009/comics/woh/&amp;amp;img=035.jpg]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]]&#039;s command, Skyquake, Leozack, [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]], [[Hellbat]], and [[Gaihawk]], followed the Autobot ship &#039;&#039;[[Eight Track]]&#039;&#039; to the planet [[Beta-Nine]], where they hoped to beat them to a mysterious cargo that had crashed there aboard the &#039;&#039;[[Van De Graaff]].&#039;&#039; Skyquake, Leozack, and Hooligan attacked the Autobots, separating the crew&#039;s [[Kup (G1)|youngest member]] from them.  The Autobots&#039; commander, [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]], drove Skyquake and the others away with a barrage of firepower, allowing his crew to escape into the trees where the Decepticons would have to fight them on the ground.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skyquake departed after Thunder Clash and ordered Leozack and Hooligan to kill the remaining two Autobots, [[Landshark]] and [[Flak]].  Unfortunately, Skyquake and the others were defeated and brought back to Cybertron as prisoners. The battle on Beta-Nine began the Autobot/Decepticon civil war.  {{storylink|Wings of Honor}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skyquake&#039;&#039;&#039; (Large Predator, 1992)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Missile launcher, 14 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:G1Skyquake toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Blue meanie. If the Blue Meanie was green.]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Skyquake transforms into a large bomber jet, its model pretty much made-up but based (loosely) on an [[Wikipedia:SR-71 Blackbird|SR-71 Blackbird recon plane]]. His primary gimmick is the &amp;quot;[[Megavisor]]&amp;quot;, 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 [[Unreleased toy|unmade]] Autobot [[Turbomaster]] [[Hyperdrive (Turbomaster)|Hyperdrive]]. Each wing also contains a &amp;quot;carpet bombing&amp;quot; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Skyquake&#039;s scope is prone to [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]], and is very delicate. It can break rather violently if one of the smaller Predator jets is attached to him. So don&#039;t do it. Attach them to [[Stalker (G1)|Stalker]] instead. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Skyquake was later [[redeco]]ed (with neutered gimmicks and no handgun) to make &#039;&#039;[[Machine Wars]]&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and &#039;&#039;[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; [[King Atlas]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skyquake&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2009)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Sword, rifle, 2 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Skyquake is a [[redeco]] of &#039;&#039;[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], available [[exclusive]]ly at [[BotCon 2009]]. The existence of this figure was first announced by artist [[Andrew Wildman]] (who drew the character&#039;s profile art) in a blog post on [[February 23]], 2009... and apparently Wildman jumped the gun a bit, as he soon had to delete the posting.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://andrewwildman.blogspot.com/2009/02/skyquake.html Andrew Wildman&#039;s blog]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skyquake transforms into a jet fighter loosely based upon the F/A-22 Raptor. The toy features numerous spots of sculpted battle damage. He comes with two very large accessories, a sword and a non-firing blaster, which can combine to form a really larger sword and/or non-firing blaster. In jet mode he has two wing-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers, which can flip up over his robot-mode shoulders.  Limited to 1500 sets, Skyquake came bagged with [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also redecoed as &#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039; Energon Starscream and BotCon 2009&#039;s [[Leozack]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Skyquake &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; be the physical model for &#039;&#039;[[Operation Combination (franchise)|Operation Combination]]&#039;&#039;&#039;s unseen Decepticon leader [[Scrash]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Interestingly, his first toy was redecoed into a Starscream, while his second was redecoed from a Starscream.&lt;br /&gt;
