Description
I like Skyfall. So I have his toy . Well, I like his design and his abilities . Not so much his IDW character.Many, many years ago I was inspired by this take of Skyfall by and created some designs of my own (one of which I uploaded ). So here they are. The first four designs are from 2009, the last one I created today.

I admit, I didn't think about it while drawing. Then again, visually it's not a very intruiging mode (robot parts lumped together in the shape of a can opener).

Technically he's an Infinite Changer, but it's hard to come up with alt modes distinct enough from each other. For example I also had a sketch of a helicopter, but what need is there for that when he's got already an Osprey-like mode?

Infinite Changer...? I doubt that's canon. o_o;... The most that exist (albeit far rarer than Triple Changers) are Six Changers. o:

In Generation 1, ja. Es gibt in der Zeichentrickserie Robots in Disguise (2001) einen Megatron mit 10 (zehn!) Alternativformen. Daneben gibt es in der Aligned-Kontinuität Shifter , die kanonisch jede Form annehmen können. Wenn es einen Skyfall in Prime gäbe, wäre er vermutlich einer .
Und wie bereits in einem Kommentar weiter unten erwähnt: Skyfalls Originalcharakterisierung sagt, dass er "[c]an change into anything from a construction crane to a can opener, then into a weapon in less time than it takes to plug in a phone jack", was möglicherweise ein Fehler ist, andererseits aber mit dem unvorhersehbaren Effekt von Nukleon begründet werden kann, da Nukleon (in den alten Marvelcomics und Regeneration One) jeden Transformer anders beeinflusst.
Und letztendlich produzier ich ja keine kanonischen Sachen, sondern spiel nur ein bisschen mit verschiedenen Ideen rum

Could've said Shifters instead of infinite-changers. (Speaking Englisch for the sake of not wanting to confuse people since there's not many people I know who speak Deutsch. :c + I'm out of practise speaking/typing but I can still understand.)
I wouldn't consider Shifters along the line of Triple/Six Changers though, because they cannot mimic voice nor shift mass like Shifters can. But nice concept I suppose.

Meiner Erfahrung nach lesen die meisten Kommentierenden nicht die vorhergehenden Kommentare...

How is a bot with a robot mode and five (shown) alt modes a quadruple changer?

This is actually called a Six Changer. (5 alt modes, while the 6th mode is robot mode.)

Sorry, didn't see someone else already commented on that.

The ball is now in your court, Hasbro. Make a quintuple-changer!

It's rather something for a 3rd party group - if they made a toy out of the one time Optimus' body parts were used to construct a mechanical alligator, then why not this?

I was trying to think what the spider-bot reminded me of, and then I remembered it was this: www.tf-toy.com/images/tf-figur…
It's a toy called Robo Revolution or something? I've always thought it would make a fantastic pre-Beast Wars Rampage/Protoform X.

Is that a tank transformed into a scorpion?
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Yep. I was thinking if you do away with the turret that forms the scorpion tail, it would work well as a crab. There's one for sale on eBay for $35. I'm quite tempted...

Since I read on tfwiki that in Autralia TF toys cost 2-3 times as much as in the US I guess that's cheaper than most regular TF toys.

Plus distribution is a bitch. The Generations waves containing Rhinox, Rattrap and Waspinator didn't get to Australia at all. I had to import them. It's a tough place to be a fan.

Yes, well, at least all the ficiton is in your native language. I don't expect the IDW comics to ever be translated into German.

Write to Chris Ryall and offer your services. I've got his email address here somewhere.

Translating is one thing. But is has to be printed, distributed and stuff. So unless I can offer the whole package AND convince him that the they could make a profit on the German comic market (which I strongly doubt), I don't think it's worth it.

Digital, my friend. Digital. German Transformers fans no longer have to suffer through the English, when they can download their favourite comics in their native tongue.

I hadn't thought about that. That should tell you how qualified I'm for the bizniz side of things.

I love seeing people's interpretations of Action Master alt modes, and I don't know why, but making Skyfall a multi-changer just works for me.

It's not that big of a stretch, since his original toy bio states that he "[c]an change into anything from a construction crane to a can opener, then into a weapon in less time than it takes to plug in a phone jack" which clashes with the "former jet fighter" mentioned in the next sentence, but well, since Nucleon in the Marvel comics was depicted as effecting diffrent Transformers differently, I like to interpret it like he was formerly ONLY a jet fighter, while now he's an everything fighter.
