Skystalker (Prime)
| The name or term "Skystalker" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Skystalker (disambiguation). |
- Skystalker is a Predacon from the Aligned continuity family.
Skystalker is a Predacon subjected to hyper-evolution by Shockwave. While his high intelligence, sense of logic, and careful deliberation would make the one-eyed Decepticon scientist proud, his emotions can sometimes get the best of him in the most destructive of ways. Aiding him in this destruction, his breath can freeze Autobot armor, rendering it dangerously brittle, and the Cryostrike Disc Launchers on his wings are nothing to scoff at, either.
Fiction
Tales of the Beast Hunters pack-in story
Released from his Hyperevolution Chamber, Skystalker awoke in the midst of a fierce battle between Shockwave and Smokescreen. Despite being tempted to join the fray, Skystalker took this time to observe his surroundings, eventually realizing that he was in a laboratory where he and his fellow Predacons were being experimented upon. This revelation was enough to trigger his rage, and he proceeded to destroy everything around him with his disc launchers. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 12

- Skystalker (Deluxe, 2013)
- Series / Number: 2 / 009
- Accessories: Two Cryostrike discs, mace/tail
- Part of the third wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Deluxe Class toys, Skystalker transforms into a dragon. The tip of his tail detaches to become a "mace" that can cover either robot hand. His wings also contain built-in pressure-launching "Cryostrike Double Disc Launchers" that can swing forward to be used in robot mode. His robot hands are compatible with 5mm posts.
- His airbrushed prototype stock photography depicts him with painted white forehead scales that are painted metallic blue in the final product. It also depicts him with Decepticon insignias, (This error is replicated in his wallpaper art, seen above.) which the stock photos on his packaging "correct" by replacing them with Predacon insignias that are obviously superimposed stock images. His instructions neglect to mention that the tip of his tail can become a brass knuckle, and the completed robot mode is shown with the hands of the dragon mode despite also showing the transformation steps for the hands earlier on. His instructions also include the twelfth chapter of the Tales of the Beast Hunters series.
- This mold was also used to make Go! Judora, Predacons Rising Skylynx, and was the model for the comic-only character Backbite.
