Skydive (BM)
From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Skydive" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Skydive (disambiguation). |
- Skydive is a Maximal and an Autobot from the Beast Machines portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Skydive acts all stoic and composed, but he relishes his flying skills to the point of occasionally buzzing his fellow Maximals just to get a reaction. Not only has he got the speed and maneuverability, but unlike many fliers his technorganic hide is actually incredibly resilient to damage. Combined with his energy-gathering wings that suck up Vehicon blaster-fire to give him a constant supply of fuel, Skydive is an aerial terror.
Fiction
Skydive has not appeared in any released fiction. However, several pages form the unfinished fourth issue of the Wreckers comic were revealed, showing Skydive reacting to a Quintesson planetfall along with Snarl and Longhorn.
