- The Skyboom shield is one of the three ultimate Mini-Con weapons from the Unicron Trilogy.
"Why do we look like a spaceship?"
Formed from the Race Team Mini-Cons Dirt Boss, Downshift and Mirage, the Skyboom shield is possibly the ultimate defensive force in the known universe. It is the only thing that can withstand the might of the Star Saber and Requiem Blaster weapons, but the full limits of all three have never been tested.

"Uh-huh...that's right...who's laughing now? WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?!"
Soon afterwards, the Decepticons manage to secure the remaining Mini-Con Race Team members, and deploy the shield in battle. However to the surprise of both factions, when Sparkplug defends Optimus Prime, the Skyboom Shield in turn defends the Autobot leader against Megatron's Star Saber. The resulting blows by the sword against the shield unleash a beam of energy into deep space, similar to the Mini-Con signal that drew the Transformers to Earth. Decisive Battle
Afterwards, the Skyboom Shield remained in the possession of the Autobots and was entrusted in the care of Smokescreen. Smokescreen would fire the Shield from his shoulder mounted cannon in order to quickly transport it to a comrade in need.
