History: Skyfire was a scientist on Cybertron, along with his friend and colleague, Starscream. This was before the war broke out between the two factions, and the only Cybertron that Skyfire remembers is a peaceful, quiet one. Never one for combat, Skyfire got his excitement and joy from his job, studying other planets and the intelligent life forms that lived upon them.

Along with Starscream, he went out on a mission, discovering the planet earth years before humans ever walked upon it. Though a scan of the planet revealed no intelligent life, Skyfire insisted they move in for a closer look, curious as to what secrets the planet held. Unfortunately, the two of them became caught up in a polar storm, and were separated in the arctic. Starscream, unwilling to leave without his partner, circled the globe looking for him, but was unable to find him until his second crash on the planet earth, millions of years later.

Skyfire spent untold eras buried beneath the ice of the arctic until the Decepticons found him, thawed him and recruited him to their side. Though uneasy about the situation, Starscream’s very presence there seemed to be enough to convince him to join forces against the Autobots, of whom he only assumed were evil due to the fact Starscream was fighting them.

His time on the Decepticon team was short lived, as Skyfire became increasingly upset by the Decepticon’s method of warfare and their treatment towards humans. The final straw was when Starscream attempted to have him murder a squad of captured Autobots. When Skyfire refused, Starscream shot him, gravely wounding him and leaving him for dead. It was only through the help of the Autobot medic, Rachet, that he barely managed to pull through, and turned the tide of battle in the arctic against the Decepticons.

He even went into battle against Starscream, though in the end he was unwilling to kill his old friend, instead knocking Starscream from the sky before using his blasters to cause an avalanche of snow around the Decepticon arctic base of operation. He saved the earth from an icy fate, but was entombed in ice once more himself, where he was to be trapped until months later, where the Autobots would locate him and thaw him out once more.

Personality: Skyfire is possibly one of the friendliest, most helpful, most compassionate ‘bots you could ever meet. Though dedicated to science in almost every way, his pursuit of knowledge is meant to help, never to harm. As an Autobot, he believes in the freedom of all sentient beings, and would much sooner observe the inhabitants of earth peacefully and nicely than wage war or smash them. Though he is an absolutely MASSIVE guy, he’s gentle and careful, always willing to use his strength and size to help anyone in need.

He’s somewhat naïve, however, willing to assume the best of anyone. A hopeless optimist, really. While he is also always willing to help, Skyfire is… not… much of a fighter. At all. That is not to say that he cannot fight at all, and can be quite capable when properly provoked, but he tends to dislike harming others. Both battles with the Decepticons saw him laid out flat by Starscream, and in each fight his aim was to disarm and end the fight with as little damage as possible, either by destroying cover, knocking ‘Cons out of the sky with a body slam, or destroying weapons before they could be used. While he enjoys assisting his fellow Autobots in their battles, he’d be much more at home simply studying the local flora, fauna and intelligent life. He is unwilling to take anyone’s life, really, be it ‘Con, Autobot or human alike. Skyfire is terribly curious, and can and will drop everything in order to further his knowledge, literally walking out of a fire fight once to inspect and assist two imperiled humans. It’s probably safe to say his curiosity hasn’t been dampened one bit, ever eager to learn more about his surroundings.

Skyfire, being a scientist, is quite intelligent, and will not hesitate to launch into explanations or lectures that would rival any tongue twister with its complexity. He doesn’t seem to always remember that not everyone knows exactly what he’s talking about when it comes to science, and will happy science-babble at anyone who will sit still long enough to listen. He honestly doesn’t mean to sound like an egghead, he really can’t seem to help himself. He gets excited at the prospect of learning more as well, along with his curiosity, and does not hesitate to ask questions. Even if they might seem a little… strange.

As well, he likes to keep in top shape, modification wise. Before he crashed, he had kitted himself out with top of the line modifications to his body, in order to travel for long spans of time in the emptiness of space. He loves being cutting edge and fully updated, and in turn appreciates such technological advances on others. He’s pretty hands on, and usually won’t hesitate to inspect things he finds interesting a little more… closely. He doesn’t seem to fully realize that he is at all intimidating with his build, and he interacts easily and casually despite differences between himself and others.

It is also pretty easy to see he’s… perhaps a little absent minded at times. His compassion for others along with his natural curiosity often clouds his judgment, and usually ends in him taking a laser to the chest plate.

Finally, there is Starscream. While he eventually proved willing to knock his former friend and colleague from the air in the show, he has never once opened fire on Starscream, and is unwilling to fight much with his old friend. Something of a push over with everyone, being far too polite and easy going to fight much, he bends pretty easily under Starscream’s more demanding and bolder personality. It is easy to see he still has tender feelings for Starscream, unwilling as he was to use lethal force on him despite being fired upon himself.
