Sky-Byte (Cyberworld)
| The name or term "Sky-Byte" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Sky-Byte (disambiguation). |
- Sky-Byte is a Decepticon from Cyberworld.
Sky-Byte is a nasty, slimy bot, with a tendency to talk about his enemies as delicious, delectable prey. Someone that turns into a shark and tries to eat his enemies may seem laughable, but he's responsible for a lot of pain in Cyberworld, which has earned him the personal enmity of Elita-1.

Having been on Cyberworld for many, many cycles, by the time Optimus Prime arrived, he had eliminated all the other members of Elita-1's Autobot group, including Wheeljack. This led to the two developing a staunch rivalry. During one of their bouts, a race along a river in which Elita was winning, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee intervened, leading to Sky-Byte winning the energon at stake by Elita's automatic forfeit. He engaged the three in a fight, but fled due to their greater numbers. At a temple, he reported to Megatron that Optimus Prime had arrived.River Race Ruckus
When Prime, Bee, and Elita tried to sneak into Cyber City, he and Mirage were sent to stop them. Sky-Byte again battled Elita, revealing Megatron had gifted him wheels, enabling him to pursue her through the streets in shark-mode. When Optimus and Bee returned to back her up, and Mirage nowhere to be found, he fled. Smoke & Mirrors

Converts in simply four steps
Perfect for the kids!
- Sky-Byte (Cyber Changer, 2025)
- Environment: Ocean
- Accessories: Claw hand
- Released in the first wave of standard Cyberworld Cyber Changers, Sky-Byte stands about four inches tall, converting into a shark with wheels in four simple steps. His claw hand is attached via a 5 mm post and is removable. He also has four hexagonal 5 mm ports making up the cylinders of his engine block, as well as one on the back of his head and one on his butt.
- As with other Cyber Changers, Sky-Byte features minimal articulation, with ball-jointed shoulders, hips, and knees. He's blessed with pinned (and painted!) wheels that roll well across a surface.
Notes
- Sky-Byte's new shark-racecar look seems to have been inspired by the Robots in Disguise episode "Skid Z's Choice", where he disguised himself as a Formula 1 car to enter a race.
