- Skysickle is a Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family. His toy is named "Makeshift".
A native of the lost Autobot colony world Combatron, the fidgety, hyperactive Skysickle is one of few survivors of the cataclysmic wars that ravaged his planet. Unlike his fellow Mini-Cons, he speaks some standard Cybertronix, though it's only scattered snippets of things he's overheard others say eerily intertwined with his peoples' normal binary warblings.
Fiction
Force of Habit
Surviving the war that devastated Combatron, Skysickle remained at his post with his bulk partner Whirl and his Mini-Con compatriots Grip-Lock and Thunderstick. Centuries after war's end, Whirl attacked Blurr, a member of an Autobot scouting team who had rediscovered the planet, and Skysickle aided him by acting as an impromptu catapult. When Blurr's comrades came to investigate, Skysickle attacked Checkpoint until Longrack convinced the Combatronians to stand down. Skysickle joined his comrades and their new Autobot allies in an assault on the Decepticons, who had raided a vast underground arsenal and produced an army of Decepticlones, to boot. While the battle raged around them, Skysickle and Grip-Lock hijacked the Upstart and destroyed the Decepticlone scanner template, breaking the Decepticons' control over them. Force of Habit
