Put in new funny. And it's also a reference to the Assemblage 23 song of the same name. Fun! |

- 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.

Fiction
Catalogue comic
During a Decepticon Predator attack on the Autobot base, Skyquake gazed into his Supersight as he was about to join the battle. Suddenly, into his Supersight view looms a menacing shape that strikes terror even into his hardened heart...
Presumably, Thunder Clash and Skyquake fought after this overly dramatic prose. Either him or Wheelie.
IDW comics continuity
Back before the war, Skyquake is part of Clench's inner-circle/gladitorial team. Once Clench has, how shall we say... departed, he fights alongside Megatron in the Forge. Megatron Origin
Toys
Generation 1
- Skyquake (Predator, 1992)
- Skyquake transforms into a large bomber jet, its model pretty much made-up but based (loosely) on an SR-71 Blackbird recon plane. His primary gimmick is the "Megavisor", a periscope system that the smaller Predator jets can attach to, showing their slides. Skyquake himself has two built-in slides; in jet mode an image of Rotorstorm can be viewed, while the robot mode picture showing the unmade Autobot Turbomaster Hyperdrive. Each wing also contains a "carpet bombing" gimmick, a rolling drum that drops the Predator-style missiles. This can also be targeted via the Megavisor; by twisting the small tail wings at the back, a mirror swings into a 45 degree angle. When you look through the eyepiece, you can then see directly down relative to the jet, enabling you to see where the bombs will land. He also has a standard Predator hand-held missile launcher, which mounts under his jet mode.
- Skyquake was later redecoed to make Machine Wars Starscream and Universe King Atlas.
Trivia
- Skyquake might be the physical model for Operation Combination's unseen Decepticon leader Scrash.
