| [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] compensates for his physical weakness with sheer ruthlessness... and the power of his '''interstellar shuttle'''. This massive craft is heavily armed with lasers, missiles, bombs, and more. It carries a supersonic jet pod that can detach as a separate ship. Both vehicles combine on land to form a fearsome assault base.
| |
| | |
| With ramps, of course.

| ==Commercial appearances==
| |
| The interstellar shuttle was captured by [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], who hauled it into an Autobot base. Skystalker promptly transformed the base and attacked. Sneaky! {{storylink|Commercial|Micromaster Micro Base Commercial}}

| : The interstellar shuttle was sold in a large boxed package, along with Skystalker. The shuttle transforms from a compact vessel with a detachable piggybacked ship, into a land base with towers and guns. Aside from becoming the recon tower, the jet pod (in vehicle mode) can dock with the white landing pad on the side of the base. Modular ramps allow it to connect to other Micromaster bases.
| |
| | |
| : The main shuttle can often be found missing its right wing, as one of the wing's connectors is mismolded slightly and tends to break. This may have been corrected by the end of the run.
| |
| | |
| : The toy was released without changes in Japan as the ''[[Thunder Arrow]]''. It is unknown whether it retains the same mold error.
