| rdfs:comment | - 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.

| abstract | - 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. In his spacecraft mode he is one of the fastest and most maneuverable of the Decepticons, despite his large size. He can reach speeds of up to Mach 5 in atmosphere, and can easily reach orbit and beyond, where he can use his faster-than-light systems to travel the stars. In this mode he is armed with proton missiles and paired particle beams. In robot mode, his large size allows him to wield a double-barreled energy cannon, that operates by using two beams of opposite charges to create a tremendous explosion at their point of intersection. His major weakness is that as much as he loves combat, he was never built to be a warrior; aside from his size and speed, his physical abilities, especially his fragile armor, are a liability in combat.
