Skyfire
Nicknames: Jetfire, Fireball
Age: 1MY+
Gender: Male
Faction: Autobot
Alt Mode: Jet Fighter
G.H.O.S.T, Civilian, or Other: GHOST
Residence: Autobot City, Earth & the Peruvian Rainforest
GENERAL INFO
Weapons: Laser Carbine, Explosive Rockets, Planetary Probes, Solar Probes
Holoform: N/A
Personality:
Skyfire was an explorer and scientist, and a very philosophical one. Well-versed in the messages of the Covenant of Primus and aware of the Golden Disk, he was forced into a war he didn't make. He's worried about Megatron's intentions, and of Starscream's plans; but he keeps these to himself. After all, he was a Decepticon once too, and Prime's acceptance of that fact didn't change the loyalty they had. Still, he fights when needed, and finds that the energetic Terran bots activate his joy circuits, as new sparks that have come online without the purpose of being soldiers. If only they could have avoided the coming conflict.

PERSONAL INFO
Family: Sweeps - unit comrades, shared protoform before die-casting.
Mate: N/A
History:
Skyfire was originally a scientist before the Great War, designed and built to travel the cosmos and unlock its secrets. He was part of Air Commander Starscream's first unit of Sweeps, a unit made of elite flight-capable Transformers, whose prowess in aerospace travel not only helped colonize many systems, but to expand Cybertronian science. Together, they traveled across many worlds, finding not only concrete evidence of Primus' impacts on the galaxies, but finding what had emerged in the meantime.
Skyfire's abilities in this regard were remarkable, and the Autobot Elders in Iacon commended him for his wisdom and his skill. On what seemed to be a routine system patrol, Skyfire encountered the third planet from the sun, a watery world full of energy - and of raw energon. He noted it and was going to move on when a transwarp anomaly forced him into the atmosphere at the planet's northern magnetic pole. His body went into stasis lock, and he was unable to self-repair. And there, under the pole for aeons, slept Skyfire. Through all the events of the Earth, all the changes and evolution, the metal giant slept. In the winter of 1985, during the brief extension of the Great War to Earth, he was unearthed - by the Decepticons!
It was always rare, and has become rarer, for Starscream to really care about another individual. Yet loyalty to former comrades won out, and the Decepticons rebuilt Skyfire, and helped him reformat for the purpose of war. It didn't take long for Skyfire to realize that Megatron's goals were counter to his own, and that Optimus Prime's Autobot faction was where he belonged. It was painful, losing his friend to that madness which had taken him over the millions of years of combat, but he did what was needed of him, and was granted the Autobrand on his chest where a Decepticon brand once laid. He dreamed of the day foretold in the Covenant - When All Are One; but worried that as long as Starscream clung to the way of a warrior, that would not be possible.
And then it came. Or at least, the next best thing.
The destruction of the Space Bridge by Optimus Prime was a shock. While Skyfire could, in theory, return to Cybertron, it would take a great deal of time and energy. Now as an agent of GHOST, Skyfire is as distrustful of Megatron as he learned to be during the part he saw of the Great War, even though he is glad for it to be over. He's a scientist and philosopher first, and seeing the new Terrans come online has brought him great joy. That joy is tinged with worry, for the challenges they will be forced to face. But he is determined, as with Prime and others, that these new sparks will not face their new world alone.
