- Skyquake is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Skyquake is the leader of the Predators with a complete and utter hatred for anybody who even barely dips into the side of good. In battle, Skyquake is a cold, calculating destroyer, attributes which also even apply to his contempt for the Autobots. When he locks together with the smaller Predators under his command, he magnifies his long-range supersight abilities and enables him instant communication with the minds of his underlings.
