Sky Blast is a young Omnicon appearing in the Transformers: Energon narrative. A proficient tactician and skilled craftsman in energon manipulation, he converts raw energon into chips and weapons for the Autobots. However, his frequent leisure activities—practicing aerial stunts, sunbathing, following races, participating in fanclubs, and socializing—foster perceptions of immaturity.
His role primarily supports Autobot operations in diverse locations, mining energon underwater at Ocean City and on asteroids within Earth's solar system. During Terrorcon attacks, he often focuses on refining energon rather than immediate combat, though he distributes energon stars and newly forged weapons, like copies of Megatron's sword, to bolster defenses in critical battles. Multiple Sky Blast units operate simultaneously across installations including Desert City, Lunar City, and Jungle City, handling refining, weapon distribution, and base repairs. These units typically evacuate during attacks but sometimes remain at their posts despite danger.
Significant missions include accompanying Kicker and Ironhide on energon-scouting expeditions to Blizzard City and the Moon. Later, aboard the Miranda II spacecraft during the pursuit of Unicron, he conducts external repairs under Decepticon assault and guides Kicker through critical operations on an Energon Ring to enable safe warp gate transit. He participates in Rodimus's mission to pacify Unicron's core by delivering energon stars, though units show reluctance during perilous segments inside Unicron. After Alpha Q recreates destroyed worlds, Sky Blast units help establish planetary energon grids and combat Terrorcons on the Jungle Planet.
His capabilities include high-speed flight with advanced aerial maneuvers in jet mode and proficiency with energon-based weaponry in robot mode, notably an energon claw used for both combat and excavation. His technical specifications are Strength 5, Intelligence 8, Speed 7, Endurance 8, Rank 5, Courage 7, Fireblast 7, and Skill 6. A documented weakness is prioritizing stunt practice over tactical duties.
Beyond the animated series, the character features in ancillary media. In the Energon comic, he battles Decepticons like Snow Cat and Mirage during escort missions. The Timelines continuity depicts him serving aboard the Autobot flagship Iron Hope, engaging Decepticon forces during the Unicron Singularity crisis.
The character originated as an homage to Generation One's Skyfire, requiring the alternate name "Sky Blast" due to trademark constraints. His design manifests across multiple toylines: an Energon-series figure transforming into a Cybertronic jet with combinable weaponry, a rare Built to Rule prototype, and an Attacktix game piece with dual transformation modes.
