- Skyjack is a Decepticon Cyberjet from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Skyjack is a master spy who should never be trusted. He'll toast your health one moment and blast you in the back the next. Rumors swirl about Autobot sympathies and meetings with Optimus Prime himself, but that may very well be simply part of his cover and the web of lies that he surrounds himself with. In his free time he's been known to use human cars as target practice together with his mentor Dreadwing.
- French-Canadian name: Pirate

Skyjack was one of several prisoners held by Fortress Maximus and his staff at Garrus-9. He had been disassembled and reduced to just his spark for storage. His crime is unknown. Spotlight: Arcee
Toy
Generation 2
- Skyjack (Cyberjet, 1995)
- Japanese ID number: TRF-7
- Accessories: 3 missiles
- Skyjack's vehicle mode is based on the Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk, colored in black with red on the trailing edges of the wings and tailfins. Like his fellow Cyberjet Hooligan, he has a pressure-launch missile launcher on the dorsal side of his airplane mode, which becomes the right arm of the robot. Clips on the underside of each wing store his missiles when they're not being used in the launcher.
- This mold was used to make the Generation 2 Cyberjets Air Raid and Aero Raid, Universe Air Raid, and Robot Masters Delta Seeker.
Trivia
- Skyjack's deco includes stickers which read "FB-117". While not the official U.S. Air Force designation for the plane, an "FB" (Fighter Bomber) designator, although non-standard, would be appropriate for the F-117A in real life, since the aircraft is often used in a strike bomber role similar to the now-retired FB-111.
