Skipjack (Animated)

The name or term "Skipjack" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Skipjack (disambiguation).

Skipjack is a Decepticon Constructicon from the Animated continuity family.

Skipjack is the result of Dirt Boss's foray into the business of cloning. Though the process resulted in a loyal goon for the Constructicon leader, he was disappointed that Skipjack was even shorter than himself!

Fiction

Animated cartoon continuity

Upon hearing that all Decepticon big-boss types dealt in cloning, Dirt Boss hired Lockdown to procure him some Autobot CNA. The process was successful, and the dim-but-tough Skipjack joined the ranks of the Constructicons. Skipjack's profile

Notes

• Skipjack was cloned from Erector, and thus shares a body-type with him.
• Had the fourth season come to pass, Skipjack was not planned to be a component of Devastator. This, of course, is because—like a great many of the original Animated characters seen in the Almanacs and other post-cartoon media—he would never have actually been in the show; he was only created for 2015's Complete AllSpark Almanac, as a recolour of Erector, who was in turn only created in 2011 as a joke for the character's Transformers Hall of Fame video.
