| abstract | - Gas Skunk is one of the Predacons under the command of Megatron who has come to Earth to rob it of energy and perform other evil deeds. In battle, his bicep-mounted "Left Laser" blaster and serrated tail can do impressive damage. In both modes he can also cough up huge, billowing clouds of foul-smelling smoke that blind and disorient opponents and can corrode structures. Unfortunately for Gas Skunk and his fellow Predacon stooges, Rail Racer discovered that this gas is rather flamable. Gas Skunk is the smartest of the Pred trio--and while that doesn't take much, he actually is pretty clever. He is a skilled inventor able to create new weapon technology when needed, and also has extensive knowledge of Cybertronian law and computer programming. But he's not as smart as he thinks he is: he tends to mangle large words he tries to use (and some not-so-large ones), and sometimes tends not to think about whatever he's doing beyond the very-short-term. Plus, he's a bully and a craven coward at heart, and as soon as he's up against a show of force, that aspect of his personality comes screaming to the forefront while he goes screaming to the rear of the battlefield. He seems to be on friendly terms with his fellow stooges Dark Scream and Slapper, especially when it comes to shifting blame for their failures onto their commander Sky-Byte. Though he definitely shares Sky-Byte's hatred of the new Decepticon forces, who are a real threat to their jobs! Japanese name: Gaskunk Russian name: Skuns (Скунс, "Skunk")
