| The name or term "Sky Shadow" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Sky Shadow (disambiguation). |
You can't see me!
This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.
- Sky Shadow is a Predacon/Decepticon from the Beast Wars section of, er, the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Sky Shadow is a figure of Decepticon legend, known for his mastery of stealth and concealment. Ruthless and treacherous, he earned a spot among Megatron's most trusted lieutenants. Sky Shadow distinguished himself on a mission to Earth during the Beast Wars, where his strategic and tactical leadership was instrumental in fighting the Maximals. However, he apparently never returned.[1]
Eons later, the Autobot Jetfire would use his name while operating undercover as a Decepticon.[2]
Fiction
Cybertron toy bios
Growing weary of what he felt was a passive role as commander of the Earth-stationed Autobots, Jetfire decided to go undercover. He scoured the Axalon archives for a Decepticon identity to assume, and he deemed the treacherous Sky Shadow suitably ironic.[1] The choice worked well, allowing him to quietly slip into the background of Decepticon life. Few Decepticons suspected "Sky Shadow"'s secret, as they were often too busy scrapping and plotting against each other to care about the silent new face in their midst. Meanwhile, "Sky Shadow" unobtrusively gathered data and formulated his plans to strike his unwitting enemies when victory would be assured.[2]
Ask Vector Prime
Sky Shadow was the head of the Predacon Secret Police. When a transwarp pulse alerted the Tripredacus Council that the contemporary Megatron was up to time travel shenanigans, Sky Shadow was sent to the Beast Wars stop it. He was nominally a Maximal ally but he eventually turned on them, and was destroyed in the process.
This rings a bell. Ask Vector Prime
Notes
- Until "Ask Vector Prime" in 2015, Sky Shadow only existed in Hasbro's marketing and referencing the Beast Wars character was likely just a casual nod to the fans with little regard for continuity. Taken seriously, it presents some problems, since the Beast Wars are supposed to be in an entirely different continuity family. There are two basic possibilities: Either the Unicron Trilogy contains its own event called the "Beast Wars," or there's been some dimension-hopping. "Ask Vector Prime" came down on the former, saying Sky Shadow was part of the Beast Wars from the Transformers Legends anthology story Fire in the Dark, which had messily shoved Beast Wars into Armada.
- Just to confuse things further, Energon had an Autobot Sky Shadow!
