Skyburst is an Autobot Commander from Power Core Combiners.


Skyburst isn't sure he deserves being equipped with the Aerialbot drones. To be one of the first given control over Power Core drones is an amazing honor bestowed upon only the best of the best, but Skyburst is just a search and rescue expert. Surely the drones should go to the 'Bots on the front lines. Skyburst doesn't understand that his dedication to helping the helpless is more than deserving of recognition.

  • Skyburst with Aerialbots (Commander Class, 2010)
Part of the first wave of Power Core Combiners 5 Packs, Skyburst is a Scout-size jet, based on the fictional Firefox MiG-31, who transforms into a robot. A somewhat taller robot form somewhat based on his combiner mode can be discovered with some creativity. His drones, the Aerialbots, can automatically transform from vehicle to limb using Automorph Technology when clipped onto Skyburst. When detached, they transform back to vehicle mode. His fighter jet drone appears to homage G1 Skydive.
Unfortunately, Skyburst and his drones have several design flaws and quality control issues. Skyburst suffers from the problem of the spring-loaded, automorphing drones being unable to provide solid, stable feet to balance the combined mode, and the general shape of some of the drones make it hard to connect most of them to the torso, this essentially is the reverse problem of Bombshock. The F-15 Eagle drone also apears to have the intention to have the wings automotph, but there appears to be a tab missing to transform it that way and stay like that.
This mold was used to make Darkstream.
