Skyburst is a Power Core Combiner who commander four Aerialbot drones. He is very strong, fast and tough. Skyburst and Searchlight both have the highest rank of the Autobot Power Core Combiners, meaning one of them is probably their leader. Where Power Core Combiners fits in Transformers fiction is vague, although it has some connections with the 2007 live action Transformer movie series.

Fictional biography

To be given command of one of the first Autobot Power Core teams is a great honor – one that Skyburst isn't sure he deserves. He uses his enhanced abilities to execute search and rescue operations in conditions too dangerous for human crews – or even other Autobots. Together with his drone companions, Skyburst protects the skies from the Decepticon threat.

Soon after Caminus entered the Council of Worlds, Skyburst's team (under Pyra Magna) was sent to Cybertron to search for the remains of Crystal City. When investigating a commotion, Skyburst and Stormclash were horrified to find Arcee had attacked Cityspeaker Windblade. The Torchbearers confronted Arcee and when it turned out she was going to smash the fabled Enigma of Combination, the twins demanded she step off. In the chaos, the group were turned into a combiner named Victorion and afterwards, the twins remarked how they'd been even more unified than before.
