He believes himself to be older than even the oldest of the Velocitronians, which may be why he feels unengaged by the speed mania of their planet. Having left his planet on his own to explore distant star systems, he hopes to discover some clues to the mysteries surrounding his life.

The character appeared in the "Transformers: Cybertron" comic strip exclusive to the Official Transformers' Collectors Club.

Skyfall arrived on Cybertron in his ship at a spaceport only to discover the place abandoned, until he is attacked by Scrapmetal and Dark Scorponok. As Scorponok continues to attack Skyfall, Skyfall is buried in rubble. He was saved by the timly arrival of Ramjet's Mini-Cons, who directed the mindless Scorponok onto the Autobot base. Breaking free as the Herald of Unicron, Ramjet recognised him, and promised to help him regain his memories if he helped them on their quest. Reluctantly assisting them, he was helpless to stop Ramjet being destroyed by Vector Prime, even as he tried to stop him from being sucked into another dimension. ector Prime, before being transported to Earth, made Sentinel Maximus promise to watch over him, having recognised his marking as belonging to one of the oldest Transformers.

Skyfall was soon caught up in the Mini-Con civil war, as Thrust's insurgents battled the forces of the Mini-Con High Council. Skyfall attempted to stop the Decepticon Landquake from deploying a massive cannon. However, the two realised they knew each other from somewhere - just as Unicron attacked. Their forcefields protected them. To prevent their weapon from detonating, the two combined powers to prevent the raw Energon powering the weapon from exploding - and vanished in a massive explosion. They had not been destroyed, but instead were transported to an alternate universe. They were almost immediately confronted by another Transformer: Megatron. Skyfall was no match for the Decepticon leader, but was saved by the arrival of Optimus Prime and a team of Autobots.

In "Crossing Over" Landquake ended allying himself with the new Megatron he met, although he was held in suspecion by the Deception leader. After examining Landquake the Decepticons learned his story may be true, and then detected a similar energy source to that detected at Landquake's arrival in South America. Skyfall allied himself with the Autobots and they arrived at the same time to investigate the energy. Skyfall and Landquake and the Autobot Cliffjumper (assigned by Optimus Prime to watch Skyfall) arrived in the underground energon pool together and met the Autobot Breakaway, who was guarding the pool, but had little memory of why. Together the three Transformers who seemed to feel they were connected, and Cliffjumper who refused to leave Skyfall, were sent through a dimensional portal by Breakaway's Caretaker computer to find their "fourth".

In "Transcendent" Breakaway, Landquake and Skyfall arrive on a parallel Transtech Cybertron, in the city of Axiom Nexus. They are greeted by that world's Cheetor and Silverbolt, and are worried that Cliffjumper has gone missing. The arrivals are told that they are among many to arrive on this world and are brought to "processing." Among those waiting in processing are Autoceptor, Bad Boy, Charger with Fire Beast, Cosmos, Cy-Kill, Pathfinder, "Universe" Repugnus, Sky-Byte, Smallfoot and Treads. After processing the three Autobots are greeted by the ancient Autobot Alpha Trion and taught in the ways of outworlders in Axiom Nexus. Breakaway is then abducted by Transtech Shockwave.
