The Energon Pub

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Loving the look. I am super excited for this guy to hit my desk. The fanmode does look neat, but I'm perfectly happy with the regular robot mode. The combined mode also looks amazing!!

figured out what i am going to do with him though and his team: Wheeljack shall be brought over to Optimus Maximus and replace Mirage, with Prowl being moved to leg position and Wheeljack to arm alongside Streaker. then Mirage, Hound, Smoke and Trailbreaker can all be standalone's on my Lost Light Shelves and can combine with cyclonus periodically. sky Lynx shall be off by himself as a standalone with occasional combining with either OM's team or the Lost Lighters. Will look pretty sweet

Aww, I'm gonna set him up with hound, and rook as arms, and first-aid/ironhide, and ironhide/trailbreaker as legs; he's gonna be ripped

That combination would be an incredibly beefy guy! guess that scramble city style stuff really is fun!

It's why I've always like combiners more than anything, I only got the constructicons and a couple combaticons from energon, so that wasn't a lot of fun... That's why I swore when the line started, that I was gonna go for a near complete collection for cw.

I never intended to get them all, but in the end, I will get all 6 retail teams plus Cyclonus, Devy, Victorion, and any Computron they make in the future. I am turning down this Scattershot unless I need to get him at a later date, AKA they announce independent limbs. I would so buy and appreciate a box set though.

Man, 8 combiners for sure. I feel slightly overwhelmed by the thought.....

Yeah, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but, I gotta get me that G2 bruticus, that is just pure 90's right there, I need it in my life (I gotta get a bruticus at some point, right )

Well yeah. Given how many attempts they have made at making a good Bruticus, and how good this one appears to be, You need to get at least one. and why not G2? The colors would be very different and it isn't mass retail, so why now, dare I say why not?

He's kinda my favorite reviewer, so yup haha. But it is true: "You don't stop playing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing" "Be geek, be proud!"

words to live by. At least it still makes me feel like a kid. Acting my age my shiny metal tailpipe

no job, little money, tuition bills...

Yeah, I might be double dipping on bruticus, depending on how he is distributed, and how much he is.

didn't say you had to double dip, but G2 might not be a bad choice for the lone Bruticus

Naw, if it comes down to it, I'll get the originals, they have a great color scheme, and they'll be more affordable.

Adding to the couple of news stories involving the upcoming Combiner Wars SkyLynx, weibo user 风守老人 has uploaded some extra shots of the jet-lynx-creature-bot, showing off the poseability of the new figure, and how the parts fit together. Check them out mirrored below!

[AutobotAlvaron]

Wow! I am really liking this new SkyLynx. For a modern take on a classic character, and an iconic Space Shuttle, he's AWESOME!

My only gripe (besides him not having a proper, separate, Lynx-mode) is that Hasbro had to stubbornly cheapen the thing by hollowing-out the underside of the wings. Why??? I'm tired of my Transformers looking like Mexican paper lace. (I understand the economics behind it, but sheesh, every Combiner Wars figure is visually & structurally compromised by having cheese-grater slots all over like HotSpot & Ultra Magnus' back-sides.)

Anyway, being an 80's kid, I love all things Space Shuttle (how I miss the glory days of regular launches and US space-supremacy), so "Mr. High & Mighty" space-bird-cat is a must buy. But I wonder, what will Takara do with this mold?

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.

[Carnivius_Prime]

I kinda wanna pat him on the head and offer him a doggy treat.

It's a cool figure but yeah the hollowness and the combining gimmick likely being reason for no seperate Lynx mode kinda ruins it though the fan-mode Lynx ain't so bad. If I see him in Cambridge Toys R Us here in the UK I may purchase him.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

He's looking really awesome! When posed like this, he looks so much better! Cannot wait!

[RiddlerJ]

I wish I could see a comparison shot with the original Sky Lynx.

[Seibertron]

This toy drives me bonkers that it doesn't split into its proper two halves. It looks like it should even! Just needs the feet for the bird mode and the head for the lynx mode and you'd have a really nice update to G1 Sky Lynx. Can't wait to see what a customizer can do with it!

This is also begging for a 3rd party company to make it do just that.

SHE is an amazing figure!!!

[Nemesis Destron]

I wonder if this will have the blaster in the mouth like the G1 counterpart? You can't really tell.

The overall does look cool and that's coming from a fan who doesn't care for any Beast TFs. It doesn't bother me that this does not separate provided it does. I never did like the goofy looking feet on the shuttle piece alone.

I really dug the overall alt-mode as a griffon type creature.







I can't wait to see what Takara has in store for us!

Via the Planet Iacon Facebook page (though originally from user 风守老人 via weibo), we now have even more images of the coming Combiner Wars voyager Sky Lynx, this time in torso mode for the mighty Sky Reign! Check him out below, and stay tuned for more images of upcoming Combiner Wars figures.

[fenrir72]

New images!

He really deserves to have a Golion face.

[Mindmaster]

Didn't know those things that come with Sky Lynx combined to form a sword-looking thing. Hopefully it isn't as unimposing as Menasor's. Thing really needed to be bigger...

Might just have to pick up Sky Lynx after all. Wasn't all that interested in him as a combiner, but I actually have a need for those weapons for a custom project.

[Cobotron]

Wow that combined mode looks sweet! Love the lynx head. A face inside would have been pretty cool, but I'm down for the beast head. I was going to complain about the lack of paint, but in torso mode they did a really nice job of breaking up all the colors just with transformation.
This is another BoS.(Buy on site)

[Hellscream9999]

New images!

AHHHHHHHHHH!



Need this now, more important than bruticus, also need evil repaint

[D-Maximal_Primal]

He is shaping up to be a very awesome torso! He looks amazing overall, no matter which way he goes

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
