Sky-Byte was the fan nominated 2023 Transformers Hall of Fame character inductee entirely thanks to Spellos' portrayal of the character. He's going to be missed.

Was a staple of late 90s/early 00s dubs, with his distinctive and memorable voice. It's a shame he didn't get to do more. RIP.

His take on Sky-Byte is arguably the most memorable thing about Robots in Disguise.

Rest in peace.

Rest well, Captain Jovina. Shut down, Gilliam. The new guard will take it from here.

I hope Mr. Spellos' friends, family, and fans will be all right. May his memory be a blessing.

It seems more likely that the dub of ''Transformers: Car Robots in Disguise'' is cursed. Am I right?

Skybyte was such a fun and memorable part of RiD and its primary break-out character. And it's primarily due to how his actor owned and obviously reveled in it. Thanks, Mr. Spellos, for giving voice to this and many other beloved roles over the years.
