Fiction

Zone story pages

When the ocean-covered world of Wall was attacked by Aquatic General King Poseidon and Saurian General Trypticon, Victory Saber charged into battle, but was quickly overwhelmed. Luckily, the four commanders, Overload, Erector, Missile Bull and Skywave arrived to save him. Commanding the Off Road, Jet and Race Car Patrol Teams, they arrived in time to save the drowning citizens of Wall, rescue Victory Saber and beat back the Decepticons. Zone Part 3

Zone

  • Skywave (Micro TF DX, 1990)
    • Japanese ID number: C-340
    • Accessories: Aircraft carrier/jet vehicle, 2 cannons
Skywave is identical to the Hasbro Decepticon Flattop, transforming into a purple-and-gray F4 Phantom fighter jet. He has functional landing gear wheels in the rear, but has a peg in place of the front landing gear. Skywave is unusual for a Micro TF DX (Deluxe) in that he is not a "towing" vehicle with a large trailer accessory, but a fully-independent vehicle on his own with a fully-independent, non-towed aircraft carrier transport.
The carrier transforms into a "Battle Mode" jet, with the bow runways folding out as the wings. Skywave can either clip into the open cockpit area while standing or sit inside, with a "control bar" keeping him from flying out. The large laser cannons can be mounted on either the large wings or the smaller rear wings. The wheels that were once on the carrier deck now serve as the wheels for the jet mode.
