IDW Transformers: RID Ongoing Sky-Byte

Artist Ardrew Griffith has revealed the character’s redesign for the series

Thought I’d give you guys another exclusive.

I was told this was OK to post online since his image is floating around the web now anyway. This is Sky-Byte’s official design for IDW as he’s appearing in RID, staring in issue 5.

He’s largely based on his original toy, though the transformation is a little different than originally.For example, his shark head now becomes his chest instead of a “faux”-shark face on his chest. And I added painted teeth on his shark face like you’d see on vintage fighter planes.

Basically, his alt-mode is some sort of space shark. Who is to say something that looks like a flying shark couldn’t have evolved on some planet somewhere? Makes no less sense that dinosaurs in space, eh?

Great.  Wonderful.  More of my favorite characters to be slaughtered by Prowl.  Fan-fucking-tastic.
