Profile: Sky Lynx moves quickly and with great purpose, even when he has nowhere specifically to go. His every movement is infused with an air of effortless confidence and, some might say, arrogance. Sky Lynx feels that he’s proven his inherent skills as a top-notch, fearless warrior and leader time and again, so he doesn’t hesitate to tell others of his accomplishments. Sky Lynx hates to be inactive, so he jumps at the chance to join a mission as a transport and/or mission leader.

He is a mass of silvery steel cables ready to spring into action at a moment's notice. He seethes with explosive energy, rarely being able to stand still for more than a second. If he has nothing better to do, he will transform from one mode to another just to keep busy. When he's in action, instinct seemingly takes over. He moves with a fluid feline grace, and with a purposelessness that befits one as fearless and daring as he. He basks in the glory of battle.

He believes himself superior to many of his fellow Autobots, a feeling that he thinks is justified by his high rank and prodigious fighting skills. He exhibits this feeling by his physical behavior: He rarely touches the ground to stand on the same level as the other Autobots. Usually, he's either flying above them or else he's perched on some structure so he can loom over them and make them look up to him. In his puma mode, he will leap height to height, whether hill or building, instead of on the ground. Many of the other Autobots resent this behavior, which often causes problems when Sky Lynx tries to command others. But generally, Sky Lynx is admired by his fellow Autobots for his versatility, skill, and bravery. In the middle of a war, these are the qualities that count.

Sky Lynx can be friendly when he chooses, but he’s more than a little smug about his abilities and pedigree, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by other Autobots. Sky Lynx chooses to classify their reactions as insecurity and jealousy of his superiority. Although they might argue with his reasoning, the other Autobots can’t deny his versatility and ferocity on the battlefield.

Abilities: Subject is highly intelligent and immensely strong. His speed and endurance are legendary in all modes, as are his skills as a leader and tactician. He is actually made up of two components, either one of which can house his personality functions.

In his dinobird mode, he can reach speeds of 250mph for 3000 miles and fires an acetylene blaster with a 3-mile range from his mouth. He generally uses this mode to fly in suborbital space and his shuttle mode to fly in orbital and outer space. He is, however, far more maneuverable and effective as a fighter in dinobird mode, so he will sometimes revert to this mode in outer space. His claws and sharp teeth can shred most armor. This mode transforms into a space shuttle that has inter-solar system travel capabilities, which can be enhanced by the use of transwarp technology. The acetylene blaster fires out of the nosecone.

In lynx mode, Subject can leap up to 1.5 miles at a time, and rocket boosters let him soar up to 40,000 feet into the air to attack jets with his razor-sharp claws. His agility is greatest in this form. It can also join with dinobird mode to create the Subject’s complete robot form. The lynx mode transforms into a transport module that can attach to the shuttle, greatly increasing its troop-carrying capacity.

In all modes, he has great strength and is impervious to most energy beam weapons and artillery.

Weaknesses: Subject’s need to keep busy often leads to wasting fuel. Some troops resent his superior attitude, which can cause leadership problems.
