Skyquake

**Skyquake** (スカイクウエイク, *Sukaikuweiku*), is a fictional character and deuteragonist from the *DC* series. His loyalties are unlikely to be questioned anytime soon. A Decepticon guardian sent to protect Earth's energon stocks, he is completely loyal to Megatron. He will not only obey every order, he will follow them until Megatron says otherwise, regardless of the passage of time. He also possesses a rather short temper towards the disloyal, and is not beyond backhanding even a superior officer who gets in the way of Megatron's will. Otherwise, he's actually a polite guy when it comes down to it, even to his targets and foes. He's succinct, and will not mince his words. It's nothing personal, it's just orders from his master.

His split-Spark twin brother is the similarly honor-bound Dreadwing. The two are able to sense each other, even across the galaxy. He also has a hospital named after him. Prematurely, anyway.

"*It will be a shame to crush you, bug, but it is my duty.*"

## Personality

According to Optimus, Skyquake valued honor and loyalty, much like his twin Dreadwing. However, his twin did a significantly better job at keeping his temper in check, though he was willing to kill Starscream to avenge Skyquake. Such shows as to Skyquake's constant rages and anger issues which made him a very reckless fighter. Despite his angry side, Skyquake was a very loyal soldier and one of the most loyal that Megatron had ever had. He was also very brave.

## Abilities and Powers

Skyquake has proven to be a formidable opponent in combat, showing to have been able to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Optimus Prime, a battle-hardened veteran with ease. He had enormous strength and could throw an opponent into the air. Skyquake was armed with a large Energon/plasma machine gun.

### Weaknesses

Skyquake's rage was his greatest weakness and he was not able to control it at all.

## History

### Past

Skyquake and his twin brother Dreadwing were brought to life from two half's of the same lifeforce by the AllSpark, allowing each other to sense each other across the galaxy.

#### Battles of Cybertron

##### During the War

Millennia ago, during the great war, Megatron tasked Skyquake with assassinating Optimus Prime at the Battle of Technahar but Skyquake failed to carry out his mission. However Skyquake would not forget the order and would carry it out once more later.

##### Preparing Departure

Skyquake was presumably on the Nemesis that brought the Decepticons to Earth (whether it was before or after the space bridge accident that involved the Ark is unknown). He was then sealed inside a stasis pod, waiting for the day that he would be reawakened and serve Megatron once again.

## Notes & Trivia

* Skyquake and Dreadwing share the same body type, this makes sense because they're twin brothers.
