Skilz

From MediaWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Skilz is an Autobot from Back to the Future.
Still not as radical as Shreddicus Maximus.

While Skilz is smaller than his Autobot comrades, he makes up for his size with pure bravado. Transforming into an unassuming skateboard that allows him to remain undetected in Decepticon-dominated areas, he's unafraid to challenge much larger enemies to their face just to make a point.

Transformers/Back to the Future

[edit]

Skilz was lying around in skateboard mode in the Decepticon-dominated Hill Valley of 1985 amidst a pile of rubble, where Marty McFly found him and used him to run away from a blitzing Starscream by hitching a ride on Long Haul. A blow from the Seeker knocked Marty off Skilz, almost spelling his doom before Gigawatt arrived from the future to save him. Transformers/Back to the Future #1

When Gigawatt's subsequent attempt to fight Starscream went poorly, Marty threw the skateboard at Starscream in a pitiful attempt to help, and Skilz took the opportunity to reveal himself by transforming to robot mode and kicking the Decepticon across the face. Both Skilz and Marty used Starscream's momentary distraction to board Gigawatt and head to the future of 2015, and entered Delgado Mine where the Autobots' secret base was located. There he watched as Gigawatt reported to Autobot leader Rodimus Prime about his failed mission and expounded on how the timeline came to change. Skilz was the one who deduced that Gigawatt had once been a Decepticon. Transformers/Back to the Future #2

Soon afterwards, the Autobots responded to a distress signal from Hill Valley, finding Marty's parents facing execution. When Marty rushed in to save them, Skilz scanned a hover sled and gave Marty a ride so he could turn Doctor Brown's alpha-wave ionic nullifier on the Constructicons before a blast from Starscream's null-ray sent both of them out of the sky. Recovering after Rodimus had downed Starscream, Skliz praised the power of teamwork before the Hill Valley courthouse unexpectedly revealed itself to be the alternate form of the Decepticon hulk Watchtower. Transformers/Back to the Future #3

With Rodimus and Bumblebee, Skilz charged into battle against the giant while Doc Brown repaired Gigawatt's flux capacitor. When Gigawatt was damaged protecting Marty and Doc from one of Watchtower's attacks, Rodimus sent Skilz to their aid, the small Autobot transforming to hover sled mode so he and Doc could push Gigawatt up to the required 88MPH for temporal displacement. After Bumblebee and Rodimus had perished, Watchtower lumbered after the smaller group. Aware that they had no time to enter Gigawatt, Doc and Skilz sacrificed themselves to buy their friends the time to escape while leaving themselves at the giant's mercy.

When Marty and Gigawatt altered time to prevent the reactivation of the Decepticons, Skilz was resurrected. When Marty returned to 2015 with the DeLorean time machine, Skilz happily greeted his friend and informed him that Biff Tannen was now a close ally to the Autobots. Skilz accompanied Gigawatt to return Marty to 1985. Watching the human reunite with his parents, Skilz wondered if their new friend would be alright, with Gigawatt assuring him that the Autobots would always be watching their friend.
