- The helicopter is a Decepticon Micromaster vehicle from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Skyhopper likes to see things blow up, so just why he was given command of the helicopter is a bit unclear. It is a heavily armed and massive craft, equipped with a sonic cannon that destroys its targets with the power of sound... but that's not the same as blowing them up. The helicopter converts to a battle base with a circuitry-destroying molecular disrupter cannon... but destroying circuits and disrupting molecules aren't really the same as blowing them up, either. There's no fire, and no earth-shattering kaboom. Skyhopper's gotta be one frustrated 'bot.
Commercial appearances
The helicopter, along with the interstellar shuttle, was captured by Bumblebee and dragged into the Autobot base, where it promptly transformed and attacked the gullible Autobots. Micromaster micro base commercial
