Stinkbomb spent stellar cycles undercover as a Predacon officer, learning the psychology of the Predacons. His knowledge proved to be a great asset to the Maximals, but the Predacons will never forget his "betrayal". Beast Wars Sourcebook #4

Stinkbomb was one of the protoforms jettisoned from the Axalon on prehistoric Earth. He was activated and put in chronal phase by Razorbeast at Magmatron's request, but was protected from Magmatron's Predacon shell-program by Razorbeast's viral code. The Gathering #1

Soon after awakening, he joined up with Bantor, Noctorro, K-9, Armordillo, and Torca. During their journey to meet up with Razorbeast, Torca got stuck in some mud, and Stinkbomb and the other helped free him. The Gathering #2 After following Razorbeast's signal for days, and picking up more Maximals along the way, Stinkbomb and the rest rushed into battle against Magmatron's Predacons. In the ensuing battle, Stinkbomb took on Injector. The Gathering #4

The battles on Earth continued for some time, and Stinkbomb was later seen defending the Maximal base from a major Predacon assault. The Ascending #1 Eventually, both factions were attacked by Shokaract's minions, the powerful Blendtrons. Stinkbomb supported the decision to temporarily ally themselves with the Predacons, though alliance or not, Retrax had his reservations about standing too close to the skunk. The Ascending #4

Beast Wars: Uprising

[edit]

Stinkbomb fought in Battle MCMXXIII of the Games, a three-day struggle that culminated in a stand-off against the Predacon Quickstrike. Though he was able to knock his opponent down and stood ready to unload a barrage of deadly chemicals point blank into his opponent's face, his weapon failed to fire, having been damaged beyond use in the melee. Quickstrike saw his chance and swiftly counterattacked, killing Stinkbomb. Broken Windshields

  • Stinkbomb (Basic Transmetal 2, 1999)
Part of the second wave of fourth-year Beast Wars Basics, Stinkbomb transforms into a techno-organic Transmetal 2 skunk. His tail features a swiveling double blade, and ends up on the back of his head in robot mode, making for one killer ponytail. A small panel on his right hindleg/right shoulder flips open to reveal his spark crystal, while his left hindleg/left shoulder has an identical opening panel that opens to reveal an unpainted molded detail.
This mold was repainted and re-spark-crystal'd to make Robots in Disguise Gas Skunk. Presumably, it was also to have been the basis for the unreleased Beast Machines Spiketail toy.
