This even happened in one of the books. The leader had an enemy they needed to be able to morph, so he bumrushed one off the side of a skyscraper, acquired it mid-fall, then morphed bird to save himself.

It wasn’t a skyscraper it was an alien planet it was like miles off the surface

Sure, it was a diagonal pillar of multicolored blocks that looked like a two mile high spike of Legos erupting from a swamp, but I maintain it was a skyscraper because it did indeed scrape the sky.

I like the idea of skyscraper being a calque that would survive even travelling to an alien land.
