Skyhammer (DOTM)

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

Skyhammer is an Autobot from the Dark of the Moon portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

Skyhammer is one of the few flight-capable Autobots, and a highly decorated assault commander with this ability. He was personally tasked with advising Optimus Prime on countless aerial skirmishes with Decepticons. Despite his size and weapons payload, he is surprisingly nimble, and an expert hand-to-hand combat as well as projectile weaponry. He proudly carries as part of his vast armament an Energon Blade that was bestowed upon him by Optimus Prime himself, in recognition of Skyhammer's extraordinary courage and heroism in battle.

Dark of the Moon

• Skyhammer (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
  • Japanese ID number: DA13
  • Accessories: MechTech Rifle/Energon Sword, two missile pods.

Part of the second wave of Dark of the Moon Voyagers, Skyhammer transforms into a made-up assault helicopter that partially resembles a Mil Mi-24. As part of the MechTech series, he has a large weapons system that converts from a double-barreled rifle to his Energon Sword. He also features two detachable missile pods underneath his wings. His hands can wield either weapon, and he also features an additional port on each of his forearms, a pair on each of his wings, one underneath his cockpit, one on both sides of his Mechtech weapon, and one on the backs of each of his shoulder cockpit halves.

An unofficial but quite awesome feature, his rotors can be transformed and extended out to freely spin from his chest. However, despite the claims of the instructions, the rotors cannot be fully detached from the robot.
