SKYFIRE was originally an explorer during the Golden Age of Cybertron, but was lost in a blizzard over a prehistoric Earth, and was buried in the northern ice cap for eons. Large and well-armed, strict and utterly lacking in compassion, Skyfire enjoys combat, and is all-too-happy Optimus Prime initiated warfare while Skyfire was offline. While still nominally a Decepticon due to his friendship with Starscream, he is very unsure of their cause, and is considering defecting to the Autobots.
