Notes
[edit]- Skipjack was cloned from Erector, and thus shares a body-type with him.
- Had the fourth season come to pass, Skipjack was not planned to be a component of Devastator.[1] This, of course, is because—like a great many of the original Animated characters seen in the Almanacs and other post-cartoon media—he would never have actually been in the show; he was only created for 2015's Complete AllSpark Almanac, as a recolour of Erector, who was in turn only created in 2011 as a joke for the character's Transformers Hall of Fame video. Fittingly, Skipjack's color scheme is taken directly from a point in that video where it was facetiously stated that Erector was to have joined the Constructicons in forming Devastator, with Erector said to form "the pants." Skipjack uses the Constucticon colors that Erector was briefly shown to have in this part of the video.
