Sky Lynx (SG)
| This article is about the humble evil Autobot. For his egotistical heroic counterpart, see Sky Lynx (G1). For a list of other meanings, see Sky Lynx (disambiguation). |
- Sky Lynx is an evil Autobot from the "Shattered Glass" continuity family.
Humble and self-deprecating, Sky Lynx feels eternal shame. He was once Lieutenant Commander of Optimus Prime's grand and sinister Autobot army, but after suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of Wheelie, he tendered his resignation. After a bitter exile which he himself enforced, he was courted by Alpha Trion's cult. In the service of the Old One's agents, he dares to hope of finding redemption.
Sky Lynx's space shuttle form is able to split into two bestial components: the shuttle portion transforms into a winged cat mode, and the shuttle's cargo underbelly transforms into a reptile form. Each half can be operated independently. Curiously, due to the subspace generators installed within, the interior of his combined shuttle mode is three times the volume of his exterior.
Fiction
Shattered Glass
Sky Lynx was the Lieutenant Commander of the Cybertron Army's Ninth Omega Sentinel Brigade, but when the Great War began, he left to follow Optimus Prime. Though Sky Lynx had limited success, when the barbarian-lord Wheelie crushed his army in a humiliating defeat, he shamefully announced his retirement and retreated to the shadows. After a period of exile, the former Lieutenant Commander was recruited by the agents of Alpha Trion. Sky Lynx's TFCC profile
Alpha Trion returned to his dimension after an absence, and Sky Lynx was happy to once again humbly serve his master. Having found and subdued Breakdown outside the Old One's lab, he laid the defeated Decepticon down at Alpha Trion's feet. Reunification: Part 1
Weeks later, after the assassination of Megatron, Sky Lynx and Nightscream followed Alpha Trion to confront Optimus Prime, intent on his assassination as well. Unfortunately, the three had not counted on Prime's new warrior, Omega Doom, and Sky Lynx and Nightscream stared dumbfounded after one blast left their leader a distant smear on the ground.

Notes
- Although Sky Lynx is described as being able to split into two parts like his Generation 1 counterpart, the artwork depicts him as a triple changer instead, with shuttle and cargo sections present in both reptile and lynx modes.
