	: Released in the third year of the original ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|Transformers]]'' toyline, Sky Lynx transforms from a space shuttle with crawler-transporter into two smaller robots: the shuttle expands out to become a prehistoric bird-like thing, while the crawler-transporter turns into a "lynx" or close enough. The two can then combine into a super robot with the legs of a lynx and the upper-body of a prehistoric bird-thing. The crawler-transporter section has a [[battery-powered motor]] that rolls him along in transporter shuttle 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, just some lovely shiny gold chrome greeblies.

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.		: 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.

	Sky Lynx made his fantastic debut when he selflessly risked his own life to save three [[Blurr (G1)\|vastly]] [[Wheelie (G1)\|inferior]] [[Marissa Faireborn\|specimens]]. Shortly after this, his peerless battle prowess was needed to fight off some [[Predacon (G1)\|ruffians]]. He flew his brave comrades to Earth where it took the combined firepower of the [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]] and [[Trypticon (G1)\|Trypticon]] to shoot him down. Even that was not enough to stop the mighty Sky Lynx, as in his lynx form, he proved instrumental in getting the new [[transformation cog]] to [[Metroplex (G1)\|Metroplex]], trouncing many a Decepticon along the way. {{storylink\|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}		Sky Lynx made his fantastic debut when he selflessly risked his own life to save three [[Blurr (G1)\|vastly]] [[Wheelie (G1)\|inferior]] [[Marissa Faireborn\|specimens]].

	A [[Quintesson]] once used Sky Lynx's sublime appearance as a disguise.

	Of course, Sky Lynx was on the front line of the counterattack against Unicron and its [[Maximal]] followers in Earth's orbit. When a greater need was served elsewhere, Sky Lynx transported the Dinobots and remaining colonist recruits back to Earth's surface with transcendent swiftness. He wisely recognized that the battle that awaited them might be beyond the recruits in his care and held them in reserve, until Slide brazenly leaped out from within Sky Lynx's protective bosom to help fight [[Monstructor (G1)\|Monstructor]]! She ended up becoming the new leg of [[Victorion]], who slew the gruesome Unicron-allied combiner, thus vindicating Sky Lynx's decision to bring the recruits along in the first place! That nasty Unicron business was soon thereafter concluded, Sky Lynx being content in having played a pivotal role in the greatest battle of time immemorial.{{storylink\|Ceremony}}		Of course, Sky Lynx was on the front line of the counterattack against Unicron and its [[Maximal]] followers in Earth's orbit.

	When the ''[[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]'' wound up in the Dead Universe, Sky Lynx presented himself to [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]], the current bearer of the Matrix. Revealing to Prime that he was not the same as he was long ago, Sky Lynx deemed the Autobot leader as being far more worthy of the Matrix than he ever was. Optimus explained to him that the Autobots were in the Dead Universe because of how he sent the AllSpark away from Cybertron. Sky Lynx informed Optimus that in order for the ''Ark'' to escape the Dead Universe, he must learn to control the chaos within himself. Optimus and Sky Lynx viewed the former's past with Alpha Trion, Megatron, and Ultra Magnus, the horrors of the Great War, his mind's eye of what could have been, and his greatest fears.

	Sky Lynx explained that Optimus' thoughts were clouded with blame, a contribution to his inner chaos, and that the future was unwritten. To prove this, he showed Prime his own demise and a possible future where he fell to darkness as [[Nemesis Prime (G1)\|Nemesis Prime]]. With their journey complete, Sky Lynx implored Prime to use the Matrix to escape the Dead Universe by blasting a hole in reality. However, as the ''Ark'' prepared to escape, the ''Nemesis'' arrived. As Megatron unleashed a volley of dark power in order to destroy the Autobots, Sky Lynx took the blast and bought the Autobots enough time to escape before he was reduced to golden dust. {{storylink\|Earthrise episode 5}}		Sky Lynx explained that Optimus's thoughts were clouded with blame, a contribution to his inner chaos, and that the future was unwritten.
