| This subject of this article goes by multiple names that apply to other articles as well. See Eagle Eye (disambiguation), Hawk (disambiguation). |
- Eagle Eye is a Decepticon Skyscorcher from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The infiltrator of the Skyscorcher team, Eagle Eye (aka Hawk) really, really hates those Autobots. He likes nothing more than smashing them to bits or blowing them up from afar. Seems to be a recurring theme among Decepticons from that era.
Fiction
Fleetway Generation 2 comic
Hawk was part of Bludgeon's forces sent to Earth to smash stuff as a ploy to draw out Optimus Prime. War Without End When Megatron appeared to take back Decepticon leadership, Tornado retrieved Hawk and Terradive, who were attacking a squad of Autobots, so they could tackle Megatron.
Things didn't go too well for Hawk then. He got shot down by Snarl, and taken prisoner by the Autobots. War Zone
Wings Universe
As a "second generation" of Transformers arose on Earth in the Cyberfactory, Eagle Eye was one of many Transformers "born" as an official citizen of Earth. Despite being created with no faction in mind, Eagle Eye and many other Earth-born Cybertronians (including his fellow Skyscorchers) chose to become a new faction of Decepticons, the Syndicate. Under the Texan Clench's leadership, he was seen battling against the Autobot Turbofire. Generation 2: Redux
During Jhiaxus's invasion of Cybertron, Eagle Eyes stood by at the ready as part of a joint team of Autobots and Decepticons, awaiting Obsidian's signal for their time to fight back. Once the signal came, they teleported to Cybertron and started beating on some drones. In the heat of the moment, he exclaimed "DIE, AUTOBOTS! DIE! DIE!!" He clarified he only meant the Prowl drones when he was met with horrified looks by his Autobot allies. He was the one who managed to spot Jhiaxus on the battlefield, signalling his allies to his coordinates. A Common Foe
Regeneration One
With the team stuck in a siege inside the Pax Cybertronia Decommissioning Depot in Kalis, Windrazor had Eagle Eye scan the cobalt-60 warhead of a Warbird missile to see if it would be possible to rig the detonator for a localised, diversionary explosion. Eagle-Eye confirmed it was and it would've been his job to trigger it if Venom hadn't WRUPped him to death, to create a "martyr" for the Neo-Decepticon cause. Loose Ends, Part 1
Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity
In Japanese Generation 1 continuity, Eagle Eye the Generation 1 Autobot and Eagle Eye the Generation 2 Decepticon are one and the same individual. For full details of Eagle Eye's exploits in that continuity, see the above-linked article.
After leaving the Autobots in favor of Scrash's Decepticons, Eagle Eye was upgraded into a new body and went by the alias of "Hawk", later becoming "Hawking". After stints under the leaderships of Megatron, Galvatron II, and Dark Nova, Hawking returned into Scrash's employ.
Toys
The Transformers
- Hawk (Skyscorcher, 1993)
- Accessories: Radar array/rifle
- The Transformers Hawk transforms into a Eurofighter Typhoon jet. His under-slung radar system becomes a non-firing handheld gun in robot mode.
- He was originally sold in the European market in 1993 as part of the "transitional" line that used the Generation 2 insignias, but lacked the new subline name. He was later released in the United States, with no notable changes beyond a new name, as part of the Generation 2 line. He was then later re-released in the European version of Generation 2 in 1994.
- This toy is gang-molded with Terradive.
Generation 2
- Eagle Eye/Hawk (Skyscorcher, 1993/1994)
- Accessories: Radar array/rifle
- Released in the United States in 1993, Generation 2 Eagle Eye is identical to the concurrent European "Generation 1" Hawk toy. Hawk was re-released in the European Generation 2 line the following year.
Notes
- Eagle Eye is the only Skyscorcher who was not revealed as part of the ultimately-canceled Block Town series from Takara. Since he is gang-molded with Terradive, a Block Town "Hawking" alongside Terradive would likely have been simply a lighter green, with a blue tailfin.
- Though Eagle Eye was never released in Japan, he did gain a Japanese name via a BotCon Japan 1997 exclusive poster, which featured bios for all of the new Generation 2 characters released in the U.S. who weren't part of the Japanese line: the Axelerators, the Skyscorchers, Rotor Force, four of the Go-Bots, and the Color Changers.
- Eagle Eye's body in the Timelines comic "A Common Foe" uses the Generations Deluxe Class Armada Starscream mold with a head that matches his original design.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Hawking (ホーキング Hōkingu), Hawk ("Badlands", ホーク Hōku)
- Italian: Pyton ("Python")
