Eagle Eye is aDecepticonSkyscorcher from theGeneration 1 continuity family.

Litter on the highway and he cries. Then shoots your ass.

The infiltrator of theSkyscorcher team,Eagle Eye (akaHawk) really, really hates thoseAutobots. He likes nothing more than smashing them to bits or blowing them up from afar. Seems to be a recurring theme among Decepticons from that era.

As a "second generation" of Transformers arose on Earth in theCyberfactory, Eagle Eye was one of many Transformers "born" as an official citizen of Earth. Despite being created with no faction in mind, Eagle Eye and many other Earth-born Cybertronians (including his fellowSkyscorchers) chose to become a new faction of Decepticons, theSyndicate. Under theTexanClench's leadership, he was seen battling against the AutobotTurbofire.Generation 2: Redux

During Jhiaxus's invasion of Cybertron, Eagle Eyes stood by at the ready as part of a joint team of Autobots and Decepticons, awaiting Obsidian's signal for their time to fight back. Once the signal came, they teleported to Cybertron and started beating on some drones. In the heat of the moment, he exclaimed "DIE, AUTOBOTS! DIE! DIE!!" He clarified he only meant theProwl drones when he was met with horrified looks by his Autobot allies. He was the one who managed to spot Jhiaxus on the battlefield, signalling his allies to his coordinates.A Common Foe

This is how IDew.

By the year2034, Eagle Eye had left the Autobots behind and joined the splinter faction ofDecepticons led by the High RegentScrash, bringing with him the secrets of the Autobots' newly developedPower Core Combination technology. Upgraded into a new body, Eagle Eye was charged with locating the Decepticon outlawMagnificus, so that Scrash could exploit his psychometric powers. He located Magnificus just as the fugitive was in battle withOilmaster on the outskirts ofIron Town, and stepped in to dispatch his quarry's opponent. Eagle Eye then introduced himself as "Hawk" (ホークHōku) and offered Magnificus the chance to join his faction. Leaving him to ponder the idea, Eagle Eye supplied him with someenergon and a repair kit and went on his way.Badlands

The Transformers

From a brick with arms to a brick with a jet on top. Amazing.

• Hawk (Skyscorcher, 1993)

• Accessories: Radar array/rifle
• Known designers:Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy),Masakatsu Saito (concept artist)

The Transformers Hawk transforms into a Eurofighter Typhoon jet. His under-slung radar system becomes a non-firing handheld gun in robot mode.

He was originally sold in the European market in 1993 as part of the "transitional" line that used theGeneration 2insignias, but lacked the new subline name. He was later released in the United States, with no notable changes beyond a new name, as part of theGeneration 2 line. He was then laterre-released in the European version ofGeneration 2 in 1994.

This toy isgang-molded withTerradive.

Notes

• Eagle Eye is the only Skyscorcher who was not revealed as part of the ultimately-canceledBlock Town series fromTakara. Since he is gang-molded withTerradive, aBlock Town "Hawking" alongsideTerradive would likely have been simply a lighter green, with a blue tailfin.
• Though Eagle Eye was never released in Japan, he did gain a Japanese name via aBotCon Japan 1997exclusiveposter, which featured bios for all of the newGeneration 2 characters released in the U.S. who weren't part of the Japanese line: theAxelerators, theSkyscorchers,Rotor Force, four of theGo-Bots, and theColor Changers.
• Eagle Eye's body in theTimelines comic "A Common Foe" uses theGenerations Deluxe ClassArmada Starscream mold with a head that matches his original design.
