Sky Garry (G1)
- Sky Garry is an Autobot from the Battlestars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Sky Garry (su-ka-i gya-rī, スカイギャリー) is Star Convoy's right-hand man through-out the bulk of the Battlestars series. He has a great respect for the legendary Autobot Supreme Commander and was the one who brought Star Convoy back from the dead. Kinda creepy.
He can combine with Star Convoy and Grandus in vehicle mode to form the Triple Combination Battlestar Attack.
His Micromaster partner is Shotbomber.
Early Production Name: Star Garry
Fiction
Battlestars manga and story pages
To counter the threat of Dark Nova, the Autobots formed an elite sub-group known as the Battlestars. Their mission was to revive Optimus Prime so that he might thwart Dark Nova. Sky Garry received the Zodiac from Dai Atlas and was inaugerated as temporary Autobot Supreme Commander, at least until Prime was one his feet again.
Aware of the mission of the Battlestars, Dark Nova brought Optimus Prime's body back to life without a spark as the evil False Convoy. After False Convoy's defeat, Sky Garry rescued the fallen Supreme Commander's corpse from the Great Novaroid forces. Using the power of the Zodiac, Sky Garry brought Optimus Prime back to life and upgraded him into Star Convoy.
Along with Grandus, the trio fought against the newly resurrected Super Megatron and his Great Galaman warriors. At the finale of the series, Star Convoy, Sky Garry and Grandus traveled inside the body of Star Giant and tore the all-powerful monster to pieces from the inside out. They managed to escape the villain just as he exploded, killing Dark Nova for good... though the portion of Star Giant that was composed of Megatron flew free, allowing the Decepticon leader to survive and haunt his rival again.

- Sky Garry (Autobot, 1991)
- Japanese ID number: C-360
- Sky Garry transforms into a Cybertronic starship with landing skids. His middle section is expandible, allowing him to carry up to three Micro Trailers, though he only comes with one. His trailer is labeled #0. His third mode is a Micromaster base, unique in that it is a large tower. In this mode Sky Garry can also unite with up to three Micro Trailers, or with Sonic Bomber, or with any other Micromaster base using his ramp.
- Sky Garry came with 2 guns, on Micro Trailer (as mentioned above), the Micromaster Shotbomber and a Micromaster ramp. (The ramp was the same one used by Skyhopper and Groundshaker to connect to other bases.)
- Sky Garry's sticker sheet contained a phenomenal 65 decals -- not including the 4 optional star decals that could could apply anywhere on your Battlestars. Only 5 of those decals were for Shotbomber, 5 more were for the Micro Trailer, the other 50 were applied to Sky Garry. This gave Sky Garry 53 labels (including the three factory-applied ones), providing him much of his colour and detail.
Trivia
- Sky Garry's mold was redecoed into the evil "Death Garrygun" mecha for Takara's Brave of Gold Goldran series. This version came with three carriers, but all of the launching mechanisms were removed from them. This was just one of several late-series Transformers molds recycled for a Brave toyline.
- General concensus is that Sky Garry's name is a misspelling of "Sky Carry", which may be an intentional pun.
- Sky Garry is one of the most commonly bootlegged Transformers, appearing in any number of colors and sizes.
- Sky Garry had a cameo appearance (in vehicle mode) in The Wreckers Universe comic, Departure, as the shuttle that the autobots, sans Daniel and Wheelie, used to escape a horde of Nightbirds.
