I do hope you have Super Gobots Spay-C in your collection. He's an amazing guy with a very advanced design for it's time.

If you don't have it, he's very cheap and easy to find. Don't miss out!

Oh yeah, you also have that tiny Gobot. I don't have it so I can't tell how good it is. I'll stumble on it one day.

SkyLynx could be a snobbish, obnoxious, know-it-all, but pitting him against stupid, brutish, Decepticon dullards was brilliant! Making him the larger, smarter suedo-triple-changing-Dinobot was unexpectedly entertaining as well.

My brother owns the G1 toy, and I kind of wanted one back then, but I was contented with my Omega Supreme. This new Combiner Wars version has hit a nostalgia-nerve and piqued my interest. Is he as large as I'd like? No. Do I wish he had a proper separate Lynx-mode? Yes. But that doesn't stop me from liking and wanting this new version either.

Before I even knew about Transformers, I was in love with the Space Shuttle. Back then, every test launch and landing made "Special Report" News on TV. Gobots Spay-C was a first and favorite shuttle-bot of mine until Astrotrain came along one Birthday, and blew my mind. G1 SkyLynx is the best, most accurate transforming Space Shuttle to date, rivaled only slightly by Galaxy Shuttle and Super-Spay-C. Armada Jetfire makes for a nice, but chubby modern take on the design, as does CHUG Astrotrain, but none come as close to the real thing.

This is a modern version of the iconic Space Shuttle made doubly cool by the mere fact it emulates an equally iconic G1 character & toy, and I'll happily welcome him to my collection. I only wonder what enhancements Takara will add to theirs, possibly a brighter white, or (less likely) a separate Lynx mode? Either way, I can't wait. (And doesn't his Sky Reign Lynx head give him a certain Egyptian quality, as if he were an homage to their god Maahes or goddess Mysis?)

Yeah, I noticed straight away, while unintentional (they said at botcon, that it was to homage the lynx mode - but I like to think the lynx mode got a buff new form

) it does remind me greatly of the Egyptian gods, or of Liokaiser

So, if this works the way I think it does, you could potentially fold the wings out all Predaking style.

My life is complete :BOWDOWN:

I was wondering if you could fold out the dino (dragon?) neck to make a tail. That would be sweet.
and good eye on the wings. That will look totally B.A.

I would imagine you could do a tail based on this pic:

Hmm, with his wings folded out that way, one could think that they'd look kinda like Seeker wings.

Another thing I thought of, this toy will now be in scale with G1 Predaking. Though to be honest, the sizes of the G1 toys made more sense to me than their size on the show to have them be rivals.

So far, I preffer the G1 toy simply because I find the dual animal gimmick more fun than the combiner gimick, though that doesnt stop anyone from owning both

I really like the nice lean Lynxe mode of G1. (yes, I know I forgot to unfold the wings, the spaceshuttle wings are so nice that I totally forgot in that moment that there was even more to it)

And yeah, that G1 skylynx has the best space shuttle mode of all time. It can easily be played with simply as a non transforming space shuttle (and even has some panels you can lift to see some inner shuttle detail).

Combined Sky Reign mode looks very well proportioned, I must say.
I'd like to see him with Aerialbot limbs.

I think he will be one of those torso's where - without nostalgia/context to be biased of - he will look amazing with any limb configuration :michaelbay:

Especially since the kneepads aren't necessary to hide some sort of robot mode feet that look just ugly. Sky Reign will be really awesome, and very fit and shaped!
