| The name or term "Sky Lynx" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Sky Lynx (disambiguation). |
- Skylynx is a Predacon from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Skylynx is a bitter and sour guy in comparison to his chuckle-head partner, Darksteel. While he may be the type of guy to throw a punchline once in a while, he conducts a very stark delivery. Despite his horridly dull personality, he's fierce enough to handle himself in a battle, and is just ever so arrogant enough to color himself and the Predacons above any and all Autobots.
