And then all the fans rejoiced
Welcome back Sky-Byte!
Sky-Byte is an ominous Decepticon shark. Part ferocious fighter, part freaky metal shark-jet with lasers, Sky-Byte is Megatron's first choice for missions that border on the impossible. He's fast, tough, and bursting at the seams with enough firepower to handle any situation. No matter where you are, if Sky-Byte is on your tail, there's no safe place to hide.
Toys
1-Step Changers
- Sky-Byte (1-Step Changer, 2019)
- Action Attack: "Spinfin"
- Cyberverse 1-Step Changer Sky-Byte turns into a robotic shark, featuring a "Spinfin" Action Attack in robot mode.
Battle Class
- Sky-Byte (Battle Class, 2019)
- Spark Armor: "Driller Drive"
- Battle Class Sky-Byte transforms into a shark while being roughly the size of previous Scout/Legends/Basic Class figures. (But larger than contemporary Cyberverse Scout Class figures. Confused yet?). He comes with the "Driller Drive" vehicle that splits apart into his battle armor and attaches via multiple 5mm connections. In flight mode, as his namesake suggests, Sky-Byte actually can raise both of his shark wings up from both sides, in order for him to form his own plane mode, since that he is half shark, and half jet.
- In the official render shown here, Sky-Byte is holding the drill in his hand via the post on its side - but the drill is molded to be able to fit over his fist directly, as shown in the instructions, replacing his hand a la G1 Devastator and others. This makes for a less awkward incorporation of the weapon, but the drill cannot actually spin in either mode.
Notes
- Early product descriptions spelled this incarnation's name as "Skybyte", but the finalized packaging renders the name with a hyphen.
- The packaging for Sky-Byte's toys lists his function as 'Harbinger of Doom'. Just what kind of doom this refers to remains to be seen until he makes an appearance in the Cyberverse cartoon.
