Skar is a Decepticon Powermaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared!

Skar is a Powermaster engine, binary-bonded to the Decepticon falcon creature Doubledealer. He helps Doubledealer run his various business affairs, but this loyal Decepticon would probably be appalled to learn the full extent of Doubledealer's dealings, which include having a second, Autobot-aligned Powermaster partner and even a humanoid robot mode solely for the Autobots' benefit.

Commercial appearances

[edit]

Piranacon held onto Skar for Doubledealer while he talked with Optimus Prime over in the Autobots' camp. Once Doubledealer made his way to the Decepticons' camp, Piranacon released Skar, who flew to Doubledealer, transforms to engine mode, and connected to him. Doubledealer commercial

Toys

[edit]

The Transformers

[edit]

I shall practice my curtsy.
  • Doubledealer (Powermaster, 1988)
Released in the fifth year of the The Transformers toyline (fourth year in the European line), Skar is a robotic bat-creature thing that transforms into a Powermaster engine. In this mode, plugging him into any Decepticon Powermaster toy unlocks their transformation to robot mode, or in Doubledealer's case, his Decepticon falcon mode. Unique to Skar is a 5 mm post on the engine block, which is used to store him on Doubledealer's two other modes.
He was only available packed in with the aforementioned Doubledealer (kinda obvious at this point, huh?), who also came with the Powermaster Knok, who unlocks Doubledealer's Autobot-humanoid-robot mode.
In Japan, this mold was slightly redecoed to make Clouder's Decepticon armor, and would have been used for Mayumi in earlier plans.


Generations Selects

[edit]
Injustice deliciously squared!
  • Soundwave Spy Patrol 3rd Unit (Deluxe Class multi-pack, 2020)
  • Series: War for Cybertron: Earthrise
  • ID number: WFC-GS10
  • Known designers: AJ Piejko-Brown (packaging){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
A Generations Selects add-on to Earthrise, "Decepticon Skar" is a retool of Siege Ratbat, transforming into a flattened box. This mode is theoretically compatible with Siege Voyager Class Soundwave, but in practice, it's slightly too large to fit into his chest compartment. He can however attach to Soundwave and other figures as some sort of shield. In actuality, he is meant to complement Earthrise Leader Class Doubledealer, who features a chest compartment similar to the Siege Soundwave mold.
Legacy Thundertron, released five years later, has two slots on his right shoulder in robot mode for Skar—or more accurately, contemporary redecoes of Skar—to securely perch on him.
Skar was released in a Deluxe-sized four-pack with mold-mate Wingthing, cassette-bot Frenzy, and fellow former-Powermaster Knok.
