Oh wow, that is impressive. If something like this ever got an official release I would be all over it. Really amazing.

This guy obviously put a lot of thought and hard work into this. Hell, he even put a protective coat over the paint job to help protect it from handling, allowing it to be fully transformable. Impressive work indeed.

That is indeed nice work. If I wasn't getting my own built, I would've certainly bid on that.

Oh that's cool! If you don't mind me asking, what figures is your Sky Lynx being made out of?

None; it's a scratch-build. Here's the Sky part, but the Lynx part won't be ready until at least summer.

There's no real scale images, but itr's maybe twice the size of G1.

Dude... that is sooooo cool. I absolutely cannot wait to see the finished product. I like the other one, but this looks like it's going to be Masterpiece level.

Question, what is the Lynx/tank part of it made of? Obviously the Dragon part is PRID Soundwave with some legs stuck on there.

Looks like Generations Darkmount/Skullgrin with a lot of customization, the least of which is the shiny cat head. Mee-yow.

It's very nicely put together but he's not so good with a paint brush. Shame.

It seems to be the Darkmount/Skullgrin mold.

That is one Impressive custom right there. I'd bid if I could afford what it's going for.

I see Classics Grimlock, and Generations Darkmount in there, but I can't ID the head and front paws.

I believe at least the head is from Uni 2.0 Cheetor.

Very impressive custom but i'm unsure about Prime Soundwave for the jet it still looks great

This thing actually looks really good...I'd buy it is it were affordable, and I think Sky Lynx is rather lame.

Cool, I kinda thought Soundwave's alt mode looked a lot like it could be used for Skylynx, but to see it done, and so well, kudos to this creative person.

I too dig this, even though I wasn't a big fan of Sky Lynx, myself.

$700? Se-ven hun-dred dollars?!
Bwah ha ha What's that phrase? "an idiot and his money are easily parted"
And before anybody jumps on my back claiming "all the time and effort, planning blah blah blah" at the end of the day, it's just 2 deluxe figures with a fancy paint job, paint included probably cost him $50.
I'm off to Target now to grab me a paint brush and 5 Wheelies. I think a custom Menasor should fetch about what, 6-700 dollars?

wow! That was 400 dollars more than I was thinking it would go for. Guess Sky Lynx has a following.
