Inspired by He-Man.org’s Roast Gooble Dinner podcast, welcome to PGPoA’s latest MOTUC Bio Discussion!

Sy-Klone

Real Name: Sy-Klone Son of Dy-Lex

Protector of the Legacy Stones and the Last Defender of Anwat Gar, Sy-Klone joined the Masters of the Universe after the stones were destroyed and his mission completed. He wears the last remaining TECH vest armor created by his Gar ancestors to terrorize Eternia after the Great Wars. Its built-in wind rockets allow the user to create powerful vortexes of spinning energy as a defensive weapon or to fly through the air. Sy-Klone has upgraded his armor to also include a cosmic radar which lets him sense the physical presence of evil long before others. Sy-Klone’s wind powers and radar chest make him combat ready!

So I’m a little unclear on the story behind the Gar.

This first bit of the bio here is mostly based on the Millennium cartoon episode “The Mystery of Anwat Gar.” That episode ends with He-Man crushing the sacred Legacy Stones of Anwat Gar, after which Sy-Klone, who has spent years guarding them, just shrugs and says, “Well, I guess I’m done here.”

I don’t know why TECH is all capitalized, unless it’s an obscure MOTU reference I’m not getting. I’m not surprised the Gar used the armor to terrorize Eternia–that fits with the previously-established notion that Gar aren’t trusted in Eternia–but why did they do it after the Great Wars? Why not during? I know this seems like a minor quibble, but I’ve been trying to make sense of the MOTUC timeline as a whole, and understanding the history of the Gar might help us understand Keldor, and thus Skeletor, better.

The rest of the bio discusses his powers and abilities, so not much to comment on there. Overall a pretty straightforward bio that adds a tiny bit more to our store of knowledge regarding the Gar.
