| Created as an agent of the [[Quintesson]]s, '''Sky-Byte''' is the commander of the new generation of [[Sharkticons]]. Unlike his dim witted troops, Sky-Byte exhibits a scientific and creative nature whether it be making new advances in technology or writing haikus to express himself during tense and exciting moments.

| He's a wildcard, but will Sky-Byte truly be the "greatest shark around", as he's so fond of claiming?

| :Sky-Byte is a [[retool]] of ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]] with a new head, transforming into a Cybertronic submarine/battleship with dimly animalistic styling. His colors and head sculpt are heavily based on ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]]. His small gun turrets are movable, plus his side panels can extend outward to reveal spring-loaded missile launchers.

| :Sky-Byte is part of the [[BotCon 2010]] boxed set, alongside [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]], [[Pyro|Spark]], [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetstar]] and [[Clench (G2)|Clench]].

| | |
| :The original version of this mold was also used to make Sky-Byte's fellow BotCon 2010 exclusives, the [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]].

| ==Trivia==
| |
| * The identity of Sky-Byte was the subject of "Who is the Wildcard?" contest held by [[Fun Publications]] on their [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] forums, with ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]] as prizes to who guessed the character first. Other than the "wildcard" hint, the only other hint given was that the character was "never seen in Generation 2." TCC board member EmeraldBeacon guessed Sky-Byte soon thereafter, ending the contest, but whose among all the guesses that day was the correct guess was not known until the [[BotCon 2010]] brochure went online.
