Skalor is a minor antagonist from Generation One of the Transformers franchise. He was based on a figure from the 1988 toyline.
Marvel Comics
Skalor first appeared in the Marvel UK-exclusive story "Enemy Action", where he and the other Seacons were brought to Earth by local Decepticon commander Shockwave to assist in creating an undersea base. When future Decepticon commander Galvatron was detected approaching, Shockwave sent them to attack him. Skalor was the first one to dive in but was easily knocked aside and even combining into Piranacon saw them defeated. In the UK annual story "Dreadwing Down", Skalor and the other Seacons fought with the Autobot Powermasters when they tried to retrieve a fuel cell from the crashed Dreadwing.
He made his first Marvel US appearance in Issue #47, during the Underbase Saga, where new Decepticon leader Ratbat sent him and the other Seacons to retrieve some cassettes containing the details of the mythical Underbase. In Issue #49, they were quickly despatched to challenge the arrival of a spacecraft that turned out to be Scorponok's Decepticon faction. In the concluding issue of the saga, after Starscream had absorbed the power of the Underbase, the two Decepticon groups joined up with the Autobots to stop him. Skalor was assigned to a group led by Blaster and Ratbat protecting New York. When Blaster caused Starscream to fall into the river, the Seacons swarmed on him but were quickly overwhelmed. Skalor was the last to fall, taken out by Starscream along with an attacking Jetfire.
Skalor appeared in Marvel UK's Earthforce storyline in "Flashback", where Megatron travelled back in time and possessed Snap Trap in an attempt to lead the Seacons away from their fate. He was stopped by Prowl.
