Skyfall (G1)

This article is about the Generation 1 Action Master. For the Cybertron-series Velocitronian Autobot, see Skyfall (Cybertron).

Skyfall is an Autobot from Generation 1 continuity.

Skyfall is a promising young Autobot. He's very smart and an excellent engineer, and a born flier. To him, nothing in life can compare to soaring freely through the air, and even if you happen to catch him on the ground he's probably dreaming about flying. Skyfall earnestly dreams of becoming a great hero and having amazing adventures. It's usually up to his nagging (but intensely loyal) Targetmaster partner Top-Heavy to bring him back down to reality and make him focus on his job as weapons engineer.

(NOTE: Skyfall's toy bio contains the line: "Can change into anything from a construction crane to a can opener, then into a weapon in less time than it takes to plug in a phone jack." Some believe this to be a typo, but if it is, its a rather complicated one (It would take rearanging the phrase and the removal of words to render a different meaning). Simon Furman has said that if the Action Master storyline in the comics had continued he planned to have Nucleon affect individual Transformers in lots of strange and different ways. It is possible that Skyfall's abilities mentioned could have been a result of this.)

Toys

Generation 1

• Skyfall with Top-Heavy

Skyfall is an Action Master and as such does not transform, though his design shows hints of a vehicle mode, likely a Cybertronic jet fighter similar in style to early Pretender robots such as Cloudburst, given the cockpit and vehicle details on his back. He is compatable with any Action Master weapon or vehicle. He came with his rhino-partner Top-Heavy.

(Note: Skyfall's design seems to be strongly inspired by the Japanese Gundam robot line, with maybe a little Generation 1 seeker mixed in.)

Trivia/Notes

Yow, that's primary.

• Skyfall's color scheme was drastically redesigned shortly before production; his catalog photography shows him in very different colors.
