Elite Skystrikers

After the Decepticons were crippled at the Battle of Autobot City, Shockdrop formed a faction of Autobots known as the Elite Skystrikers. Many of the Autobots who joined the Skystrikers were the most elite warriors around. For that reason, the Guardian Knights joined with the Elite Skystrikers in their mission to protect Cybertron against all threats. Tessa Barry, Shockdrop's human friend, became an honorary member and would join them on Cybertron. While Shockdrop was their founder and thus, the Supreme Commander, the Skystrikers also answered to Autobot Leader Optimus Prime. Thus undertaking missions that would sometimes bring them back to Earth.
