Skyquake (Prime)

Skyquake was a powerful Decepticon warrior who was chosen by Megatron to guard the energon that was stockpiled on Earth. He was fiercely loyal to Megatron and continued to follow his masters orders even after his supposed death.

In order to gain support from his troops, Starscream chose to awaken Skyquake from his stasis so that he could serve him as a powerful and loyal soldier. However, upon being asked to bow before Starscream Skyquake asserted that he had only one true master. Megatron.

Optimus Prime and Bumblebee arrive on the scene to investigate the energon reading and discover Skyquake. Optimus tries to reason with Skyquake in order to make peace but Skyquake decides to follow his master's ancient command to destroy Prime instead.

Due to his lack of an altmode, Skyquake was trapped in the canyon that he woke in, which provided the Autobots with a small advantage. This advantage was soon lost to them when Agent Fowler in his experimental military jet flew over to investigate and allowed Skyquake to scan it and gain air superiority.

Skyquake's flight was short lived however as Bumblebee was able to board him and tear out crucial components sending Skyquake plummeting to the ground. Afterwards, Prime lamented that had Skyquake differed from his master's path that they would not be burying him today.
