Skyburst (G1)
| This article is about the component of Victorion. For the Power Core Combiners guy, see Skyburst (PCC). |
- Skyburst is a Camien Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
It would be hard to find a pair of sisters more different than Skyburst and her twin Stormclash. Skyburst is in many ways the embodiment of Autobot ideals. She believes to the core of her spark in Justice, restraint, morality and mercy. She is a warrior because she must be, and a skilled one, but she is a warrior who fights only when the cause is for the greater good and only as an absolute last resort. It is this last point that truly separates her from her aggressive and less morally restrained sister. Stormclash's violent abandon sometimes really worries Skyburst.
She can combine with her fellow Torchbearers to form Victorion. She and her sister have a tendency to finish each other's sentences.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Soon after Caminus entered the Council of Worlds, her team (under Pyra Magna) was sent to Cybertron to search for the remains of Crystal City.
When investigating a commotion, Skyburst and Stormclash were horrified to find this nutter Arcee had attacked Cityspeaker Windblade! The Torchbearers confronted Arcee for this blasphemy and when it turned out she was going to smash the fabled Enigma of Combination, the twins demanded she step off. In the chaos, the group were turned into a combiner named Victorion and afterwards, the twins remarked how they'd been even more unified than before. An Uneventful Night
The Torchbearers opted to stay in the Rust Sea for a time, still learning to control their new powers. The inhabitants of the wasteland soon learned to avoid them. On one occasion, the team appeared to scare off a group of zombified Sweeps. Redemption
They remained in exile until Optimus Prime- seeking answers about what it truly meant to be a Prime, decided to visit the group. Aphelion Merging into Victorion, the Torchbearers tested Optimus's physical and spiritual resolve. Optimus's agnosticism about the Matrix of Leadership prompted Victorion to lay claim to the Matrix and vow to build Optimus into a worthy Prime. Lagrange
The Torchbearers travelled back to Iacon, where they combined and joined Starscream's forces in quelling a Decepticon riot at the space bridge. Perihelion After Optimus declared Earth a member of the Council of Worlds, the Torchbearers- still combined- took part in a skirmish against Galvatron's splinter force of Decepticons, but had to separate and fall back to the Skyroller after China deployed its anti-Transformer weaponry. Once Upon a Time on Earth
As a show of good faith, the Autobots began patrolling impoverished and troubled regions around the world; Skyburst and the other Torchbearers would defend Middle Eastern girl's school from religious fanatics. The Torchbearers would later travel to the White House after Aileron went rogue, forming Victorion and extricating the Autobots from the White House lawn. Edge of the Earth
