Sky Shadow was the name of an Autobot Air Team member who was able to combine to form Superion Maximus in Transformers: Energon. Although he did appear in the cartoon series, he was depicted as a non-sentient drone commanded by team leader Storm Jet and was largely only used when the teams combined form was required. Sky Shadow is the twin of fellow Air Team member Terradive.
