Character History

Character Biography
The Predacons kidnapped Dr. Kenneth Onishi because he was the wrold's leading energy expert. During an attack on a tower in the city, Sky-Byte saw how good it felt for people to respect and praise him when he tried to protect the tower and the crowds cheered him on; something which he had never experienced at the hands of Gigatron. His loyalty thrown into confusion, Sky-Byte was further driven from Gigatron's side when Scourge appeared, leading the Decepticons. Gigatron then faced Omega Prime beneath the mysterious Black Pyramid, after which the Predacon leader was defeated. The Predacon Trio later discovered that he had in fact survived, but he stole their sparks and became Devil Gigatron.

sky-Byte had since left the Decepticons after the cruel Scourge took over, (as Nemesis Prime). Gigatron then returned however, and overthrew Scourge. During the final battle, Sky-Byte's claw was cut off by Skids before he turned into his shark mode to retreat. However, a stray bolt of energy then struck him, rendering him unable to transform back into his robot mode. After the fall of Gigatron and Scourge, Sky-Byte remained on Earth, traveling it's oceans in freedom.
