Title:
Sky-Byte Sky Byte 3rd Beast Mode
Description:
Gelshark (2000) / Sky-Byte (Mega Class, 2001)Japanese ID number: D-005Accessories: Launcher, 2 missiles.
First available as part of the Car Robots line in Japan, Gelshark is an extensive redeco of the Beast Wars Transmetal 2 Maximal Cybershark, transforming into a large, monstrous, bio-mechanical great white shark. His tail has a gear system that spins the fins like a propeller when a wheel in his side is turned; this mechanism can be locked in place by pushing a switch just behind the tail (which can be locked in place thanks to a slot in the robot-mode right arm nearby). This system becomes his left arm, forming a spinning claw weapon. He also has a double spring-loaded missile launcher concealed in his shark mouth, which can be fired by pulling back the shark’s nose and serves as a hand-held weapon in robot mode. His front fins can be removed and used as hand-held blade weapons.He was released in Hasbro markets as "Sky Byte” in the first wave of Mega-sized toys, with pretty much no changes whatsoever from his Car Robots release... making him the only toy in the line to not have a little something different between the two markets’ releases. His instructions show an awkward "attack mode” variant to his beast mode that pulls out his side-panels along with exposing the missile launchers and opening up the claw on his tail. This can be safely ignored.Compared to Cybershark, Gelshark/Sky-Byte is much more stable, as his parts are less likely to pop off.Sonokong also released Gelshark in Korean markets with no differences other than the packaging.
