Sky Lynx (G1)
| This article is about the Generation 1 Autobot. For the Cybertron-series Mini-Con, see Sky Lynx (Cybertron). |
- Sky Lynx is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
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, powerful warrior and an expert flyer, and well deserving of his rank as Lieutenant Commander. He most certainly is all those things, he's just rather a bit too eager to tell you about it. At length. Springer has nicknamed him "Commander Modesty."

Sky Lynx made his fantastic debut when he selflessly risked his own life to save 3 vastly inferior specimens. Shortly after this, his peerless battle prowess was needed to fight off some ruffians.
Later still some fool had the audacity to call him Primitive! Can you imagine?

- Sky Lynx (Motorized Space Shuttle, 1986)
- 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 fully capture his magnificentness, it is still the apex of toy technology.
