Skyfall (G1)

This article is about the Generation 1 Action Master. For the Cybertron-series Velocitronian Autobot, see Skyfall (Cybertron).

Skyfall is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.

A young, Gundamish Autobot, possibly a Seeker, with the special ability to transform into anything and a little rhino-robot mentor. No, no one tell a story about this guy. Let's spotlight Sunstreaker and Sideswipe again instead. sigh

Skyfall is a promising young Autobot. He's very smart and an excellent engineer, and a born flier. To him, nothing in life can compare to soaring freely through the air, and even if you happen to catch him on the ground he's probably dreaming about flying. Skyfall earnestly dreams of becoming a great hero and having amazing adventures. It's usually up to his nagging (but intensely loyal) Targetmaster partner Top-Heavy to bring him back down to reality and make him focus on his job as weapons engineer.

Toys

Generation 1

• Skyfall with Top-Heavy (Action Master, 1990)
• Accessories: Top-Heavy partner, gun

Gun-DAMMIT! ...Sorry.

Skyfall is an Action Master and as such does not transform (which, given what it says in his toy bio, is more than a little ironic), though his design shows hints of a vehicle mode, likely a Cybertronic jet fighter similar in style to early Pretender robots such as Cloudburst, given the cockpit and vehicle details on his back. He is compatible with any Action Master weapon or vehicle. He came with his rhino-partner Top-Heavy.

Skyfall's design seems to be strongly inspired by the Japanese Gundam robot line, with maybe a little Generation 1 seeker mixed in.

Trivia/Notes

Yow, that's primary.

This, less primary.

• Skyfall's color went through several alterations before production; his catalog photography shows him in different red and white colors.

• The 1990 boxback art features Skyfall in an even more different color scheme, blue and green. It's possible he was mistaken for Gutcruncher.
