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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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