| The name or term "Skydive" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Skydive (disambiguation). |
- Skydive is a Maximal and an Autobot from the Beast Machines portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Skydive acts all stoic and composed, but he relishes his flying skills to the point of occasionally buzzing his fellow Maximals just to get a reaction. Not only has he got the speed and maneuverability, but unlike many fliers his technorganic hide is actually incredibly resilient to damage. Combined with his energy-gathering wings that suck up Vehicon blaster-fire to give him a constant supply of fuel, Skydive is an aerial terror.
Fiction
3H Wreckers comics
Less than three deca-cycles after the reformatting of Cybertron, Skydive ran recon for Snarl and Longhorn, bringing them news of the new Quintesson invasion of Cybertron. The Wreckers: Finale Part 1
Toys
Beast Machines
- Skydive (Deluxe, 2000)
- Part of the third wave of Beast Machines deluxes, Skydive transforms into a technorganic Quetzalcoatlus. His beast mode head and neck are spring-loaded to "snap" his beak when pushed. In robot mode, his wings are also spring-loaded to form quick-snap melee weapons attached to his forearms.
Universe
- Skydive (Deluxe, 2004)
- Part of the fifth wave of Universe deluxes (and the only new toy in it!), Skydive is a redeco of his Beast Machines toy, changing the orange and purple to a somewhat more Dinobotty gray and red scheme. An Autobot symbol was tampographed over his spark crystal for this release.
Notes
- The Skydive toy's lunging-neck gimmick is a bit at odds with actual Quetzalcoatlus physiology, as the real creature had a very stiff, straight neck. Well, he is an alien technorganic approximation, so hey. There's your fun trivia about ancient beasties for today, kids!
