Combiner Wars Sky Lynx: Additional In-hand Images

Posted by LOST Cybertronian Nov 28, 2015 at 12:42pm CST 49,756 views
We get to see more in-hand images of the upcoming Combiner Wars Sky Lynx via a Taobao auction. A previous in-hand image showed the top-down shuttle mode view obscured by a plastic bag. There are a few new images that also show the figure in a fan made lynx mode as well as what is considered to be his main robot mode. Also more shuttle mode images featuring top-down and side views as well as the Sky Reign toro mode.

Yeah I have been thinking about it after seeing that it would be awesome to see a shattered glass sky lynx

I was perfectly happy ignoring this figure until you mentioned this...

It looks fine, a nice addition if you don't own a G1 version, but it doesn't look like a major improvement over the original. The torso mode doesn't interest me very much so I'm going to wait until reviews start rolling in before I can decide if it's worth getting.

Eck, this guy's kinda like the recent Sky-Byte, where the new figure isn't particularly better than the original, it's just... different. It went against a more realistic alt mode and less clunky robot modes, and ditched the distinctive two-beast feature to make him yet another generic combiner torso. Meh.

The main selling point is that we're not likely to see another Sky Lynx any time soon, and that's a terrible reason to buy something.

Wouldn't it be Boss if the anthropomorphic form (i.e. combiner form of his) had a Golionesque head (humanoid face) like Leokaiser instead just the lynx beast head?

Being a torso kind of ruined this figure. Hope third partys can help save it.

although being a combiner and forming the body is a fun idea and it looks kind of neat i think i would rather have it like the bird and cat as separate forms that combine into one larger form have each one be the size of a leader and the two combined would make for a very imposing Skylinx 8-)

... these are all good points and they've ruined my excitement for this figure. Also that GAPING HOLE in the middle hurts.

I must admit I was more enthusiastic about this guy when he was first announced, will still get him nonetheless. I have silver bolt and not a huge fan of the remoulds thus far...

Skylynx is an original mold in an ocean of repaints. That alone earns him much love.

It would be too bad if the shuttle part cant detach from the base. Even so, the thing look ridiculously AWESOME. I kinda love oddballs TFs like these. Yet, I never had any interest of owning the G1 original. Strange...

The G1 Original is pretty awesome. And the size is great! Scales really well with Legends TFs.

I feel the exact same way. I've never felt any need for the G1 figure, but the CW fig is on the want list.

Sky Lynx is a bit of an odd turducken to me. The only thing I know about the character is that brief appearance in the current RID comics. I'm quite a few issues behind at his point and to the best of my knowledge he is still MIA.

Well off to the tf wiki to get my learn on.

Bit of a let down hat he won't be able to separate, but I'll still get him regardless, Skylynx is one of my favorites. I'm still hoping the only thing necessary to take him apart is a few screws or pins, and then it would be easy to make him split.

A robot head inside a lynx mouth would have been cool to have a bit like Beast Wars Mutants Soundwave has.

I'm not averse to an animal head though.
