He also features several design elements from his IDW design, most notably the small wrist-gun detail on his right arm.

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Gelshark is TakaraTomy's version of the ''Generations'' Sky-Byte mold. This version has considerably more paint applications than its American counterpart to create an overall more show accurate color scheme. It notably includes the two-colored chest, a much darker shade of blue, and less use of white. Some of the yellow plastic on the Hasbro version has also been replaced with dark blue.

File:TFGenerations Voyager Sky-Byte.jpg
  • Sky-Byte (Voyager, 2014)
    • Series / Number: 02 / 007
A new-mold toy released in wave 5 of the Voyager Class Thrilling 30 series of the Generations toyline, Sky-Byte once again includes a tail that forms his left arm. This time around, his (still gear-activated) spinning claw weapon has a single firing missile in the center.

    • Accessories: 1 missile
The Anchor Arm of Legends Gelshark featured slight paint differences.

Notes

  • Sky-Byte's Hasbro toy bio refers to this weapon as the "Anchor Arm", its Japanese name.
  • Likewise, at one point in Episode 20 of the Robots in Disguise cartoon, Sky-Byte refers to his Shark Spike as his "Anchor Arm". but like many other cases of misnamed attacks, this was an error on part of the English dub.

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Anchor Arm (アンカーアーム Ankā Āmu).
