| '''Skyquake''' 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 him instant communication with the minds of his underlings.

| It's currently unknown what is up with his paint job. Theories range from malfunctioning [[Sensors#Optical sensors|optical sensors]] to never seeing his own reflection.

| During a Decepticon Predator attack on the Autobot base, Skyquake gazed into his Supersight as he was about to join the battle. Suddenly, ''into his Supersight view looms a menacing shape that strikes terror even into his hardened heart...''

| Presumably, [[Thunder Clash]] and Skyquake fought after this overly dramatic prose. Either him or [[Wheelie]].

| : 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 "[[Megavisor]]", 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 unmade Autobot [[Turbomaster]] [[Hyperdrive (Autobot)|Hyperdrive]]. Each wing also contains a "carpet bombing" 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.

| **''Accessories:'' Sword, rifle, 2 missiles
| |
| : Skyquake is a redeco of ''[[Energon (series)|Energon]]'' [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], available [[exclusive|exclusively]] at [[BotCon 2009]]. The existence of this figure was announced by artist [[Andrew Wildman]] (who is doing the character'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. 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.
