:''Sky Lynx is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Sky lynx.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Twice the bot, twice the ego.]]

'''Sky Lynx''' is the unbelievably talented, unsurpassably skilled, and altogether magnificent robot behind most of the greatest, most adventurous, and most daring moments in all of Autobot history. At least, if you ask Sky Lynx, that is. Not that he isn't a skilled, fast, and powerful warrior, well deserving of his rank as Lieutenant Commander - he most certainly is all those things - he's just a rather bit too eager to tell you about it. At length. However, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|his]] [[Hot Rod|superiors]] recognize his undeniable skill and tolerate his ego. [[Springer]] has nicknamed him "Commander Modesty."

[[Image:FFoD_Part5_SkyLynx_kicksass.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"I am Sky Lynx, king of kings! Look on my trouncing of Decepti-cads, ye mighty, and despair!"]]

Sky Lynx made his fantastic debut when he selflessly risked his own life to save three [[Blurr (G1)|vastly]] [[Wheelie (G1)|inferior]] [[Marissa Faireborne|specimens]]. Shortly after this, his peerless battle prowess was needed to fight off some [[Predacon (G1)|ruffians]]. {{Storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

[[Image:Chaos_SkyLynx_liftoff.jpg|thumb|right|150px|"Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a lynx! It's ''Sky Lynx!''"]]

When the Autobots investigated into the destruction of a [[Earth Defense Command|provincial human law enforcement]] space station, Sky Lynx deigned to flawlessly transport [[Kup|a doddering old fool]], [[Grimlock (G1)|that speech impaired imbecile]] and his friends to the filthy planet [[Goo]]. During the course of this investigation, Sky Lynx was forced to save his comrades from several inferior opponents, including [[Blast Off|a pale imitation of himself]], [[Runamuck (G1)|a mere hooligan]], and those ruffians he encountered earlier on [[Io]]. Did they not learn their last painful lesson in humility? {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

[[Image:Chaos_SkyLynx_dodgecrystals.jpg|thumb|left|175px|"I warned ya, bird-bot! I warned ya about them cosmic rays!"<br>"Oh, hush, Grimm. I'm already fantastic."]]

Upon the discovery of dinosaur transform static at the scene of Fort Knox's apparent theft, Sky Lynx was forced to endure a humiliating trial in [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex's]] ill-conceived kangaroo court, merely because, as [[Six-Gun|that unrefined, multi-gunned cowboy]] put it, Sky Lynx had [[dinosaur electron]]s in his body. Be that as it may, did he have to be lumped together with [[Dinobot (G1)|such unsuitable company]] when he could be effortlessly tracking down and bringing [[Trypticon|the real culprit]] to justice? {{Storylink|Thief in the Night}}

[[Image:BigBroadcast_SkyLynx_rescue_Superion.jpg|thumb|right|150px|"And that is why I am far superior to the Aerialbots. Including you, Slingshot." "LIES!"]]

During a journey to through the [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]] sector, Sky Lynx came under attack by [[Astrotrain (G1)|another pretender to the shuttle throne]]. The two proceeded to engage in combat, until both were fired upon by the [[Junkion]]s. Though the Junkions posed no threat to one of Sky Lynx's skill, he recognized that their actions were out of place, and sped with all possible haste back to Cybertron, informing [[Hot Rod|Rodimus Prime]] of their out-of-character actions. Despite acknowledging his "ace work", Rodimus, for some reason, dispatched those [[Aerialbot (G1)|uncouth flyboys]] to investigate. However, Sky Lynx proved his undeniable talents by rescuing [[Superion (G1)|their combined form]] from imminent destruction. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

[[Image:CallofthePrimitives_SkyLynx_ruetheday.jpg|thumb|left|150px|"My leading role in this episode was enough to make it [[Tokyo Movie Shinsha|the prettiest in the whole series]]."]]

Later still, during a skirmish on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], superior forces arrived to save the Autobots in the form of Sky Lynx, though the brutish [[Trypticon]] dared challenge him. However, before Sky Lynx could deliver what would have likely been a stunning finishing blow, the other [[Primitive|vulgars]] were spirited drawn away from the battle by a voice in the distance. For some reason, his magnificence was included in this motley crew and was even forced to voyage with them to the far reaches of space, a sojurn they surely could not have made themsleves without Sky Lynx's intellect and sense of direction. Upon landing, Sky Lynx took command of that ill tempered, uncivilized group of evolutionary throwbacks and directed them in a proper manner, a task which nearly exceeded his incredible skill. However, upon finding the caller, [[Oracle (G1)|the fool]] had the audacity to call him Primitive! Can you imagine? Unfortunately for Sky Lynx, the menace [[Tornedron]] was too much even for him. {{Storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

In one of his most successful endeavours, Sky Lynx's unquestioned skills were called into play yet again when Rodimus Prime required a [[Quintesson]] during the [[Hate Plague]] crisis. With his customary flair and talent, not to mention amazing speed, Sky Lynx located and retrieved one, who subsequently restored [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to life. Jolly good show! Just as Sky Lynx hoped, Optimus Prime knew how to stop the Hate Plague. {{Storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
[[Image:SklLynxG1mvl03.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The wonderful thing about Sky Lynx / Is he is a wonderful thing! / His top is made out of rubber / His bottom is made out of springs!]]
Sky Lynx's old chum [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], who was no stranger to his brilliance, called upon him to join the Autobots on Earth, where [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]'s less than stellar performance as Autobot leader threatened to doom them all! (The uncouth [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] was overly obsessed with catching the rogue Autobot, [[Blaster]].) Upon the venerable Sky Lynx's arrival, Wheeljack requested that he put his considerable skills on temporary hold. What a waste of his immeasurable potential! Before too long, thankfully, Sky Lynx was at last called into action! After Grimlock tossed some [[Spacehiker|juvenile humanoids]] out the airlock of the Ark into space (for "conspiring" with Blaster), Sky Lynx, with utmost aplomb, rescued them, and put to use his finest displays of agility evading those mongrel [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. Indeed, Sky Lynx's feats were subverted only by the actions of another. To wit: While Sky Lynx was surrounded (which posed no true disadvantage to the ever-resourceful paragon), Blaster turned himself in to Grimlock in exchange for the guaranteed safety of Sky Lynx's young charges. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}}
[[Image:SklLynxG1mvl02.jpg|thumb|left|150px|I'm off to outer space / Protecting Autobots / To save [[Spacehiker|annoying kids]] / I am Sky Lynx!]]
However, before speedily returning the kids to their home, Sky Lynx took them to a traveling space carnival. As they had no money to pay for tickets, Sky Lynx charitably agreed to work for the carnival, while the kids were taken care of. Unfortunately, the fine print in the magnificent Autobot's contract made all of them unwilling guests of the wretched carnival. Before Sky Lynx could effect a no-doubt-brilliant escape plan, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Powermaster]]s passed by and rescued the group, saving Sky Lynx the indignity of facing down such unworthy foes as a [[Gilashark]] and [[Rorza, the Rocket-cycle Racer from Rigel III]]. {{storylink|The Cosmic Carnival!}}

Sky Lynx then returned the Spacehikers to Earth with flair and dispatch. The humans, however, seemed impervious to his charm, and drove him away from Earth again with thrown produce and such. {{storylink|Monstercon from Mars!}}

Some time later, the [[Mecannibals]], through an unfair deception, managed to capture the magnificent Sky Lynx. While they did admit to his wondrousness, they unfortunately considered him wondrously ''tasty.'' Luckily, [[Landmine]] and [[Cloudburst]] happened upon the impending banquet, and assisted in Sky Lynx's escape. {{storylink|Guess Who the Mecannibals are Having for Dinner?}}
[[Image:SklLynxG1mvl01.jpg|thumb|right|150px|"Yes, one day you two can tell your children how you were defeated by the incredible Sky Lynx."]]
When those selfsame [[Pretender]]s later found themselves harried by [[Darkwing]] and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]], the noble Sky Lynx showed up to repay his debt, easily dispatching the Decepticon [[Powermaster]]s. He then explained to the Autobots that [[Hi-Test]] and [[Throttle (G1)|Throttle]] were the binary-bonded partners of the Decepticons. (Which, really, they should have been able to figure out for themselves.) The ever-helpful Sky Lynx then held the [[Nebulan]]s hostage while the Pretenders blackmailed the Mecannibals into reconstituting all their former victims. Having once again saved the day, Sky Lynx flew off into the sunset, and a shining place in history. {{storylink|Recipe for Disaster!}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

[[Image:G1DW_SkyLynx_sporting.jpg|left|thumb|250px|It tickles!]]

Sky Lynx found himself embarrassingly captured by the Decepticons under [[Starscream (G1)|that small and irritating little flyboy]] and [[Combaticon|his band of merry miscreants]], as, of all things, a punching bag for their training! Far be it for him to refuse combat, but did these fools not realize they were up against the mighty Sky Lynx, even with the Decepticon energy dampeners in effect? Sportingly, the Autobot lieutenant commander warned Starscream that it was hardly a fair match, which the Decepticon, for some reason, misinterpreted to mean that it was not fair to Sky Lynx.

Taking advantage of Starscream's gross overconfidence, Sky Lynx tipped the scales ''further'' in his favour by splitting in half into his separate lynx and dinosaur modes, then soundly thrashing the pitiful Combaticons before the shocked Starscream reactivated the energy dampners.

Naturally, Sky Lynx's personal punching bag [[Predaking]] only appeared ''after'' his magnificence was offline, which is just typical, really. {{Storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Sky Lynx''' (Motorized Space Shuttle, 1986)
[[Image:G1SkyLynx_toy.jpg|left|thumb|Part panther, part bird, part danger, all applesauce.]]

: Sky Lynx transforms from a space shuttle with under-slung cargo pod into a large, beast-like... thing. His shuttle and pod portions can split up; the shuttle grows legs to become a large, long-necked flying dinosaur thing, while the cargo pod grows a head and tail to become a "lynx"-like thing. The cargo pod section has a battery-powered motor that rolls him along in cargo mode and activates a slow, ungainly walking action in lynx/lower-body mode. The shuttle also has an opening "cargo bay", though there is no room to store anything in it. Even though it fails to capture his magnificence fully, it is ''still'' the apex of toy technology.

Unlikely as it may seem that anything could improve upon the perfection of this design, there were two different versions of this toy, released a year apart. On the first version, the rear thruster panel was connected to the body by a basic hinged piece. The second release modified this hinge so the panel could extend out from the body slightly, allowing a little more room for opening the panel and extending the tail.

Unusually for a toy of his size, he has no other accessories packaged with him. But then again, why add to something that is already perfect?

In February 2008, [[TakaraTomy|Takara's]] [[Transformers Encore|Encore]] line of reissues had the glorious honor of re-releasing Sky Lynx. This was the first time that this masterpiece of a toy was sold in Japan.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
*The true nature of Sky Lynx's transformation remains a mystery even to those intrepid souls who endeavor in that most worthwhile task of chronicling his many laudable adventures. In the Marvel Comics, for example, Sky Lynx does not split into two beast modes; rather, he seems to be a [[Triple Changer]] of sorts who has a shuttle mode, a lynx mode, and a bird mode (which sometimes retains the four-legged undercarriage {{storylink|Spacehikers!}} and sometimes doesn't {{storylink|The Cosmic Carnival}}). While some might see these as "inconsistencies", Sky Lynx's design is grand enough to encompass all such possibilities, so these alternate depictions of his transformation disturb him not in the least.
*Though it chafes the magnificent Sky Lynx to share an origin with the ungainly (if powerful) [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], both were originally sold by a company known as Toy Box, from whom Hasbro licensed the designs for sale as Transformers. As with [[Jetfire]] and the Deluxe [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]]s, this meant it could not be sold as a Transformers toy in Japan, since Takara didn't want to promote its competition's toys. Thus was Japan unable to experience Sky Lynx's full grandeur—but such glory could not be denied forever. Sure enough, when Takara merged with former competitor Tomy, the situation changed. After the merger, an especially perspicacious member of the TF development team spotted a "shuttle dinosaur" development code name among the molds listed in Tomy's possession. Soon, the truth of Sky Lynx's esteemed lineage emerged: Toy Box was not the original equipment manufacturer, but rather, it had requested that Tomy develop the Sky Lynx design on its behalf. (Such outsourced design and mold development was not uncommon in the Japanese toy market at the time.) This unsung hero of a developer called attention to the fact, helping initiate the process for issuing Sky Lynx as a Japanese Transformers toy for the first time ever. Had the situation moved a bit more slowly, the molds might have been lost forever—a tragedy of such magnitude, it scarcely bears consideration.<ref>[http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/products/encore/e-07s.html Takara's "Tale of Sky Lynx" page]</ref>

Predaking (G1)

2008-06-12T12:39:30Z

124.40.44.69:

:''Predaking is a [[Decepticon]] [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Predakingg1.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Sucks to be [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]... and every Autobot combiner ever.]]

'''Predaking''' is the ferocious fusion of all five of the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]: [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]], [[Headstrong]], [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]], [[Tantrum]], and team leader [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]]. Whereas most of his kind suffer from the union of numerous conflicting personalities, Predaking's components, bringing together their shared love of the hunt, create a single, complete persona, driven by the need to hunt and kill - with all the advantages of other gestalts, but none of the mental drawbacks.

In most cases of [[combiner]]s, it is a given that strength and raw power would be heavily boosted as a result of the combination, however, Predaking has a little bit ''more'' going for him. His tracking skills increase exponentially, granting him heightened radar and other robotic senses. Nothing can escape his grasp and no creature can slip past his notice. When Predaking is on your trail, all hope is lost.

Unless your name is [[Sky Lynx]].

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
====Cartoon continuity====
:''Voice Actor:'' [[Bud Davis]] (US), [[Tomomichi Nishimura]] (Japan), [[Edgar Fruitier]] (French Canadian)

[[Image:Predaking_primatives.jpg|left|thumb|Schrödinger's Cel: Simultaneously well-drawn and poorly-drawn.]]

Predaking first saw action during the short-lived Decepticon-[[Quintesson]] alliance in the year 2005. The Predacons attempted to prevent [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]], [[Wheelie]], the human [[Marissa Faireborn]] and the magnificent [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] from escaping Jupiter's moon of [[Io]] with [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex's]] [[transformation cog]]. When the individual Predacons failed, they merged into Predaking, but were quickly defeated by Sky Lynx. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

Soon afterward, the Decepticons took over the slave mining planet of [[Dredd]], forcing the halpess prisoners to mine the super-hard [[death crystal]]s in a scheme by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] to destroy Cybertron with a giant death-crystal firing cannon. When several slaves were frightened out of the mine by the monster [[Chaos (alien)|Chaos]], Predaking swooped down to recapture the escapees. Later, during an Autobot attack that saw Sky Lynx buried under tons of rock, Predaking separated Blurr, [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], Wheelie and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] from [[Kup]] by blocking off the mine entrace with his laser sword. He continued to force the Autobots back to Sky Lynx (who had managed to escape the landslide) while shrugging off their laser fire. Meanwhile, Kup lured Chaos out of the volcano, causing another landslide that this time buried Predaking under tons of rock. {{Storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

On [[Earth]]'s [[Moon]], Predaking fought alongside the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]] combiner [[Abominus]] until they, along with the other 'primitive' animal-based Transformers, were called away by [[Oracle (G1)|Primacron's Assistant]]. They were led to an ancient world, in the hopes their primitive instincts would defeat [[Primacron]]'s latest creation, the energy-draining [[Tornadron]]. After the defeated [[Trypticon]]'s corpse seemingly crushed Grimlock, the primitives split up and ran for their lives. The Predacons continued to run until Headstrong declared he would rather stand and fight than die running. Concurring, his fellow Predacons merged with him to form Predaking, but were quickly put into stasis lock by Tornadron. {{Storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

As part of a series of Decepticon attacks on [[Japan]], Predaking and [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] pursued [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] in the Sea of Japan. {{Storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

=====2010 Manga=====
Predaking suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the [[Omnibot]]s.

''The precise origins of the animated Predacons are never divulged in the series, with them simply appearing in ''[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5]]'' with no explanation. A [[TV Magazine]] [[story page]] later made the claim that Predaking was built through cooperation between the Decepticons and the [[Quintesson]]s, although whether or not that was the original intention of the American series writers is unknown.''

====Headmasters====
Predaking showed up a few times, usually just long enough for him to get beat up by [[Fortress Maximus]].

====''Zone'' OVA and manga====
:''Voice Actor:'' [[Yukimasa Kishino]] (Japan)

[[Image:PredakingZone1.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Stupidest. Head. EVER.]]

[[Image:PredaBrain1.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Now that's what I call a ''splitting'' headache!]]

Predaking was selected by [[Violen Jygar]] as one of his 9 Decepticon Demon-Generals. Given the rank of Beast General and gifted with new weaponry and armor, Violen Jygar sent Predaking to the [[Earth]] to steal the [[Zodiac]] before the Autobots could get it.

He failed, however, and after seeing the likes of [[King Poseidon]] and [[Trypticon]] get killed in battle, attempted to escape. His escape was thwarted by [[Dai Atlas]], who sliced him into two from head to crotch, exposing his vaguely organic-looking brain and killing the Decepticon.

{{-}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===

''(Marvel UK issues are referred to in italics.) Predaking's first outing on [[Earth]] was in the course of a hunt by the Predacons against the [[Autobot]] leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. Prime having foiled the Predacons' initial attacks individually, they merged into Predaking and resumed the chase. Essentially Predaking's role in that hunt concluded once he had flushed Prime out into the open and worn him down, thus rendering him vulnerable to the attack of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. The Predacons returned over the [[Space Bridge]] to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].''

Predaking's ''next'' foray on Earth was part of a scheme by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] to destabilise Megatron's sanity to such an extent that the way would be clear for Shockwave to take command. Shockwave supplied fake [[Autobrand]]s to the Predacons (and thus Predaking by extension) and the Predacons ambushed Megatron in the swamps of Florida. ''Megatron did not recall who the Predacons were thanks to a bout of amnesia connected to his earlier involvement with them.'' The Predacons had similar difficulties subduing Megatron in their individual forms and merged to become Predaking. Predaking fared little better against Megatron and was rendered unconscious by a blast from the deranged Decepticon's [[fusion cannon]].

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Eons ago, the Predacons were banished from Cybertron to [[Beest]], where their higher functions degraded, rendering them feral. Megatron, who had been overthrown by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] (well, thrown out of a shuttle), tracked down the Predacons, then modified them to become combiners, creating Predaking.
[[Image:Predaking_Combaticons_screwed.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[[Starscream_(G1)|Starscream]] thanks Primus he had the sense to finish his will this morning.]]

Starscream and his [[Combaticon]]s were in training (with Sky Lynx of all people as a target) when Predaking suddenly arose from the sea, seeking to capture the treacherous Decepticon [[Air Commander]]. The Combaticons quickly formed into (the much-less intelligent) [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] and counter-attacked by destroying Predaking's shoulder-mounted guns. Forced back, Predaking quickly put down his opponent by firing one of his foot cannons at Bruticus' head, blasting off part of his face.

When Starcream fled, lamenting Bruticus' latest defeat, Predaking attempted to follow until Bruticus crushed one of his wings and threw him onto the island. Damaged, but not defeated, Predaking easily dodged the slow-witted Combaticon combiner's rifle blast, then erected a defensive energy field around himself to deflect the follow-up shot. As Bruticus pondered a possible rifle malfunction, Predaking punched his rival in the face with a spiked knuckle, then impaled the crippled Bruticus upon Headstrong's horn, finally deactivating the Combaticons.

This was the first time he won a fight. And it was against another fellow [[Decepticon]]. Oh well, better than nothing. {{Storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

{{-}}

===The Beast Within===
For the first time in comic book history, Predaking is completely and totally owned. Except, you know, all those other times. Predaking would like you to ignore those. And this one too, come to think of it.{{storylink|The Beast Within}}

===Devil's Due Continuity===

The Predacons and Seacons got into a territorial argument after Megatron's death, which led to a face off between Predaking and Piranacon. Predaking emerged the victor but was stopped by SerpentOR before he could finish the aquatic combiner off.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1_Predaking_toy.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Former toy-collecting holy grail.]]
* '''Predaking''' (1986, 2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-78'''

:Predaking is, by far, the largest of the traditional central component-leader-type combiner toys. He is formed by combining all five Predacons together. Unlike the Scramble City-style toys such as Bruticus or [[Defensor]], Predaking's arms and legs are not interchangeable. Razorclaw's sword and beast mode cannon serve as Predaking's primary weapons, with Tantrum and Headstrong's back-mounted cannons as his feet.

:Like Defensor and Bruticus, Predaking's components were released in both plastic and metal versions. Japan only got the plastic versions.

:Hasbro only released the individual Predacons, but a giftset was available in Japan. In late 2004, Predaking was reissued to much rejoicing of people who could not afford the after market prices on a vintage piece. This reissue used metal parts, and the pieces that were originally soft plastic were now hard plastic.

===Titanium Series===
* '''Predaking''' (3" Robot Masters, 2006)

[[Image:Titanium_Predaking.jpg|right|thumb|135px|Squattie]]

:As part of the ''Titanium'' series 3" line, Predaking is constructed of mostly diecast metal and plastic parts, but cannot transform and has very limited articulation. His sculpt and colour scheme is based upon the original G1 toy, but has Rampage and Divebomb occupying each other's positions, like the cartoon and comic model.
{{-}}
==Trivia==
*A Predaking [[Action Master]] was planned at one point, but apparently went no further than a concept sketch. It was intended to be the included rider of a transforming dirt bike<ref>[[Transformers Generations Deluxe]], p111</ref>. While Predaking was scrapped, the bike was refined and included with the Action Master [[Axer]].

*Incidentally, the aforementioned concept art was found in an [http://www.worlds-worst.com/worldsworst/wwnp_article.php?69 Arby's parking lot] after the end of [[BotCon 2000]], where it had presumably come unstowed.
