- Shrikebats are alien creatures from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Shrikebats are large, purple, flying, vaguely reptilian creatures. Found on Dromedon and Dread, a group of them is referred to as a "wreck" of shrikebats, or, more commonly "aiiiiiieee get them off get them off my eyes oh dear gooaaaarrrrrghkklgkglllll".
They're extremely vicious creatures. Thankfully, they don't like it when you invert polarities, which drives them off.
Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon continuity
The Transformers cartoon
While dodging moleculon missiles fired from the Revenge, Kup remarked that the missiles reminded him of the shrikebats of Dromedon, against whom there were a lot of casualties. This bit of insight helped him and Hot Rod survive the volley, though they didn't fare so well afterward, thanks to Cyclonus. The Transformers: The Movie
Later, Kup told of another encounter with shrikebats on the planet Dread. While narrating his time as a prisoner of the Orbs, he told tale of a wreck of shrikebats attacking his fellow prisoners. Chaos
Wings Universe
Kup had a pet shrikebat, which apparently didn't strike him as a bad enough idea that he got rid of it. Later, it chewed through something important in the Eight Track and caused it to crash. The Coming Storm: Part 2
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Kup fended off the Shrike-bats of Dromedon. Spotlight: Kup Ironhide felt like the search for Hot Rod in the Acropolex was a "wild Shrike-bat chase". Ruins
Notes
- The creatures in "Chaos" were never identified by name in the episode. The name is used in the script and on the character model.
- The Wings of Honor story manages to misspell the name "shreik bat".
