yes i know this isnt but i think if someone made a toy it would be brillant!!

That had nothing to do with Sky Lynx.
I'm confused

Should have been "Movie Skylynx".

Captain Modesty was allready show accurate to begin with, also there seens to be a lack of potential in the name and reformation of a old character like him to have a Masterpeice toy.

QFT. Despite his size, Sky Lynx's transformation was disappointingly simple. His cargo hold clearly looks like a box with lion legs folded on the sides, similar to the Voltron toys.

That YouTube clip always confused me. Just how the hell can a Boeing have VTOL?

cause it's a alien spaceship

Personally I don't see much of a resemblance.
But I wouldn't mind a Classics Sky Lynx

Knowing Hasbro, it'd be a repaint Jetfire. But, I'd love a new Skylinx.

I never 'got' Sky Lynx. I just don't understand the idea behind him, or why anyone would think it was a good idea.

Sky Lynx = 92% lame.

Seriously, the day they decide it's worth making a masterpiece 'Sky lynx' is the day G1 fandom has gone too far. Surely I'm not the only one who feels this way?

I'm very, very sorry you feel that way.
I love my Sky Lynx, had him since I was a
young pup.

Space shuttle mode
walking combined dino mode
lynx mode
and well I never was sure what the
top part is, giant bird mode.

God was that thing awesome fighting against my
brothers Trypticon

Yup. I want that too.

An Airplane/Shuttle that is much bigger than Classics Astrotrain.

If you want an Astrotrain that is big enough to stand up to
Sky Lynx you gotta get the club xclusive.
I actually just transformed this guy for the first time today
after having him since about April.

Really the G1 Skylinx is almost a Masterpiece, he looks and transforms almost identically to his cartoon counterpart. I don't know what more you could do to give him a more show accurate appearance.

Skylinx was a pretty interesting and odd character. He was the only character I can remember that could take on Predaking by himself.

As far as i've understood this bot, he should be called Astrobot, or Astroboy. There's no train alt mode in this version.

(Is there? Haven't actually seen that toy in real life yet.)

But for the value of the shuttle mode and robot mode, he is awesome!

I think he'd look a bit small next to MP prime

I always dug Sky Lynx, and I wouldn't mind seeing him as an MP, but he'd be large and very pricey, and I doubt there is quite the fan demand for him.

He'd be the smallest scale if he were an MP. Far smaller scale than Starscream.

the scene was from the japanese movie ritana ( us version- The Returner ) actually skylinx character might or go either way plane or spacshuttle

Which will be better?

I never really liked Sky Lynx...

Sky Lynx in commercial jetliner mode will be kinda skinny. Something similar to the video images.

Giving him space shuttle mode will make him too fat and bulky.

Not to mention a direct competition with Astrotrain, who is not even in his league.
