Fiction

Cyberverse cartoon

As part of Cheetor's trials to determine the owner of the AllSpark, he procured the Sky Turbine from parts unknown through a GroundBridge for Optimus' use. The Allspark turned the jet into armor for him, which he used to fight Megatron and his own helicopter-themed upgrade. This lasted until Starscream managed to steal the Allspark, causing the armor to lose its power and fall off. Trials The Sky Turbine was later seen in its original form and in the cave it was left in as Starscream remarked that it wouldn't fit Sky-Byte, as he was already the undisputed predator of the skies.

  • Spark Armor: "Sky Turbine"

Included with Cyberverse Elite Class Optimus Prime, the Sky Turbine is an almost Voyager-sized jet and is based on a swing-wing jet of made-up model, with some design details being reminiscent of Jetfire. It features large undercarriage Gatling guns and, satisfyingly, folding nose-cone landing gear. When folded down as armor, the guns unlatch and swing beside Prime's arms using a spring-loaded mechanism, and wings rotate 180 degrees with the jet exhausts becoming shoulder-mounted cannons. For extra stability, the heel supports on Optimus are extra long to support the weight of the armor. Unlike most Elite-class Spark Armor, there are no larger hands sculpted in.

Notes

• Both the Burger King and the McDonald's promotional toys of Optimus Prime come with armor based on the Sky Turbine.
