Dear, Vector Prime.

Was Sky-Byte present in the Aurex cluster? If so, was he a member of Sharkticon?

Dear Selachian Seer,

Sky-Byte had no relation to the Decepticon Sharkticon that I am aware of. He was a Mini-Con who took the form of a hammerhead shark, and a member of the Ocean Raider Team alongside Sea Spray, an RB-M utility boat, and Nightcruz, a littoral stealth ship. Despite Sky-Byte’s aggressive and contrarian personality, prone to picking fights over any excuse, the trio got along well.

Their exact exploits have varied between realities. In one timeline, they were pirates, a constant thorn in the side of the Mini-Con Council of Sages. In another, they fought in the Beast Wars of Alpha Q’s realm, being dispatched on the Doomsday to bolster the Predacon forces on the Ocean Planet. In another still, Sky-Byte alone was caught up in a different Beast Wars on prehistoric Earth, where he was captured by the Tripredacus Council's agent Sky Shadow.

Outside the universes you speak of, the Mini-Con Sky-Byte was created by the Last Autobot, tasked with eliminating the Mutants and Demons from Cybertron’s subterranean canals, only to instead develop a complicated allegiance to Broadside’s dissident regime. And there also exist several universes where Sky-Byte is a full-sized Transformer—in one, he formed a musical act with Jazz, regular performers at Maccadam’s Old Oil House.

MARCH OF ROBOTS DAY 6: SHADOW

yea its march 7 now shush

[tea-mew96]

Wanted to show off a couple Fuzors I got as bday presents the other day!

The first is Air Hammer

As the name would imply, he’s a hawk-hammerhead shark hybrid and it looks great! Pretty easy transformation, the metallic blue color is a nice touch

Then our other Fuzor, Sky Shadow

He is a lizard-dragonfly hybrid, with the dragonfly aspects more notable in the wings, pincers, and lower back and tail of the beast mode. He’s a funky lookin dude for sure, yet still manages to look good and cool af. Out of the Wave 1 Fuzors, this guy is probably my fave.

Universe 2008 Mini-Con Bios (Part 1)

Some bios I made for the Universe 2008 Mini-Cons, who never got any characterization (besides Stockade sorta in Beast Wars: Uprising). Starting with the 10-Pack Mini-Cons since they’re the only ones I own.

Battle Support Team

Sky Shadow: Sky Shadow is the leader of the Battle Support Team but finds himself ill-suited for the role. Back when he was part of a team with Crosshairs and Treadshot, Sky Shadow was content to let others lead while he took to the skies and bombed enemies from above without being seen. But the Mini-Con Civil War changed everything and Sky Shadow now finds himself leading a band of Mini-Cons that are just trying to stay alive in a world that is unfamiliar to them. While he does his best to keep everyone in line, sometimes he will let his guard down and allow others (namely Overcharge) to exploit him for their own means. The others recognize this and do what they can in helping him build up his confidence, even if they do sometimes get impatient with him from time to time.

Overcharge: Nobody really likes or even trusts Overcharge. Whenever he does something for someone, it’s almost always with the expectation that he will get something in return, usually in the form of monetary compensation. This infuriates his teammates to no end, who only tolerate his presence because of his keen sense of direction and knowledge of obscure paths and back roads that no one else knows, which comes in handy when the Decepticons are on their tail. Originally part of a Mini-Con trio, Overcharge joined the Battle Support Team after losing his teammates, and because Sky Shadow felt sympathetic for him, showing a soft part that the other members silently resent their leader for.

Ransack: Despite his fearsome appearance, Ransack is actually quite kind once you get to know him. While he is quite thorough when it comes to smashing things, he always stops to make sure that it is something that actually needs smashing rather than jumping the gun and doing it anyway. It is thanks to this foresight that he is able to restrain his friend Stockade from doing just that, something which his mentor Windrazor is grateful for. In a past life, Ransack had been the type of destroy things without much thought, but after seeing how both the Great War and the Mini-Con Civil War has affected people, he has come to realize that total destruction rarely accomplishes anything and that is far more productive to build rather than to break down.

Stockade: Stockade likes to think with her head, but not in the way most people view the term. Impatient and reckless, her first instinct when presented with an obstacle is to charge headfirst into it and worry about the consequences later—or, better yet, let others deal with the consequences. The only one who is able to hold her back is her good friend Ransack, who is always trying to convince her that not everything needs to be knocked down. Still, when some heavy muscle is actually needed, Stockade is the first to be called upon, and as frustrated as her teammates might get with her impetuous nature, even they have to admit that she gets the job done.

Windrazor: Windrazor is old, perhaps one of the oldest Mini-Cons to have ever lived. Once an advisor to the Council of Sages, Windrazor withdrew himself from society when civil war broke out, feeling that his advice had not been heeded. Taking his mentees Ransack and Stockade with him into exile, Windrazor eventually returned to join the Battle Support Team and give advice to their leader Sky Shadow. While nearly everyone else on the team believes that he would be better suited for leadership, Windrazor insists that his time of being a leader has come to an end and that it is time for others to lead for once. After all, it was the stubbornness and stagnation of the Council of Sages that had led to disarray in the first place, and he would be remiss to allow history to repeat itself again.

Ground Surveillance Team

Crosshairs: Crosshairs may have a keen military mind and an excellent strategist, but his people skills make him a terrible leader. He is constantly berating and verbally abusing those serving under his command, treating them like worthless pieces of scrap. He also has poor communication skills, always expecting everyone to know exactly what he is thinking and carrying out his plans exactly as he has foreseen them. Naturally, this creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where his lack of communication causes his team to mess things up, which causes him to berate them and then not speak to them out of spite, repeating the cycle again. The only reason the others put up with him is because they have no one else to go to and because Crosshairs seems to be the only one who knows what’s going on and where they’re going.

Longview: Longview is easily distracted. Soaring in the skies in her eagle alternate mode, she often finds her mind drifting off as she stares at the wonderful scenery around her. This infuriates her leader (and sole flying partner) Crosshairs to no end, and he constantly has to threaten her with repercussions to get her head back in the game. When she is centered and focused, Longview is a ruthless fighter, diving at Autobot foes and attacking them with her talons. While this might make her great fighter, her absent-mindedness causes her to fail in her primary function as aerial reconnaissance; the only reason Crosshairs keeps her in that role is because no one else on the team is suited for it and he has yet to find a Mini-Con willing to join him to take her place.

Scavenger: Scavenger’s function is his name, as redundant as it may sound. Still, it’s a function he carries out well, perhaps better than anyone else on the team carries out theirs. His keen olfactory sensors make him ideal for seeking out energon and other resources, and he has no qualms with picking things off of deactivated bots if he has to. Perhaps his greatest drawback is his ego; he is always bragging to anyone with functioning audio receptors just how good he is at his job and that Crosshairs could not have found a better bot than him to do the job. To say this annoys his teammates would be an understatement, but there is little they can do about it. If they complain, then Scavenger might find reason to withhold energon from them, and Crosshairs certainly isn’t going to listen to them over his most trusted follower.

Snow Cat: Snow Cat hates people. The only reason she is with the Ground Surveillance Team is because she still needs energon as much as any other ‘bot, and because she has run out of places to keep a low profile. She can’t stand her teammates’ personalities and the only orders she listens to are the ones that involve her clawing out Autobots’ optics. The only Mini-Con’s presence she can tolerate even slightly is Longview’s, and that’s only because Longview spends most of her time in the sky, away from Snow Cat, and is too distracted by other things to bother Snow Cat with pointless conversation.

Treadshot: Treadshot loves shooting things—a bit too much, actually. Twitchy and apprehensive, he is the physical manifestation of the phrase “jump the gun.” As soon as something or someone enters his line of sight without warning, he whips out his gun and starts shooting at it. Even when it’s a fellow teammate he’s shooting at, Treadshot doesn’t care and will proceed to brag about how good of a shot he is straight to the faceplate of the Mini-Con he just shot at. While the others would be more than happy to get rid of him, if only for their own personal safety, Crosshairs keeps him around because he would rather have a loose cannon he can control rather than have Treadshot end up with someone who could use the hyperactive tank against him.

Dear, Vector Prime.

Could you tell us about Viron Skywarp

Dear Skywarp Savant,

Skywarp began his military career as a hunter in the Predacon Air Force, where he transformed into an airborne shark—much like Megatron's future underling, Sky-Byte. He was known as Sky Shadow's most efficient and vicious lieutenant, who always punctuated his attacks on Autobots with some cruel one-liner or joke at his opponents' expense. Nevertheless, his sense of humor made him a popular soldier, at least among those who weren't victims of his pranks.

It was thus a surprise when Skywarp made the decision to join Starscream's Decepticons, turning his back on Sky Shadow and assuming a Cybertronian sonic attack jet as an alternate mode. Skywarp claimed to be "pulling one last joke" on his former commander by doing so.

In any case, as a Predacon or as a Decepticon, Skywarp possessed the ability to switch places with others through teleportation. Though it took a large amount of focus, Skywarp trained himself to be able to do it on the fly, making him a constant nuisance for friend and foe alike. His secondary weapons as a Decepticon were a pair of arm-mounted "Crash Missiles", which he used to bring down other fliers with ease.

Four's pet demon

Fanfic prompt : you know the joke where people refer to their cats as their roommates and you get sentences like my roommate ate my pet gold fish or my roommate bites me in the leg when he wants attention but it is just shadow and four and the chain just assumes that four has a cat because what sort of lunatic would eat a pet

Four : My roommate tried to suffocate me by laying on my face when I sleep

Twilight thinking that four is talking about a cat : your roommate just wants to be close to you mine does the same thing I just move him to my chest

Four : he can’t lie on my chest he is way too heavy for it and I am like the same size

Twilight still thinking that four has a cat : that sucks I suppose

Or

Four thinking that twilight also has a shadow living with him because of the dark magic he is involved with : does your roommate stare at you while you sleep from high places

Twilight still thinking about cats : definitely but they all do that because they can protect you better if they can see everything so they go to high places

Four thinking that twilight is a shadow expert: oh , that makes sense now thank you I guess I have to thank him now

Twilight still NOT getting it : mine likes head pats but everyone of them is different

Or

Four : should I get him a something to see him better t because he is as black as the void and during night I sometimes trip over him and then he gets offended because he thinks I do it on purpose

Twilight: you might be on to something here maybe I should do it to

Four : also he keeps running around when it gets dark and he also keeps breaking things because of that

Twilight : those are called getting the zoomies they happened mostly at night because they are nocturnal creatures and usually mean they are excited about something

This continues for weeks till four basically knows everything about cat behavior and what they mean

And when he gets home (the chain was forced to rent rooms at an inn because his grandpa's house isn’t big enough) the first thing he does is pet shadow and tell him that he is thankful for trying to protect him during the night

Shadow straight up melts about it because he never got any praise or attention for his hard work

Twilight who learned a ton about shadow expected a black cat that four found in a random ditch and then rescued from his past owner Vaati who treated him poorly

He did not expect an actual hylian looking demon who is currently getting head pats and melting under them (no literally he is liquified from them)

Maybe something was lost in translation but who cares about that now

Because he was off help at least
