Funny thing for me is that Skywarp was my favourite Seeker when I was a kid, but as an adult it's Thundercracker, who was my second favourite Seeker as a kid for entirely different reasons. Skywarp was my favourite because I just loved his ability to teleport, and a black jet just looked really bad-donkey to me. Thundercracker was my second favourite because I just love that deep metallic blue plastic on the toy - he was the first Transformer to have metallic coloured plastic. But as an adult, Thundercracker is my favourite because I'm more appreciative of the moral ambiguity in his character.

I quite like CW Sky Lynx (never got the UW version) but I only like it as a stand alone figure. The ability to combine has absolutely zero appeal to me. I've never transformed him into his Sky Reign mode and in fact I didn't even really know what it would look like IRL until I got Liokaiser and vicariously experienced it via Deszaras. But I found Sky Lynx to be worth buying, it's just that his combining gimmick is an added bonus feature which I'll never use. But it's a feature which doesn't detract from the toy, so I can live with it. TR Galvatron on the head really suffers from being a Headmaster.
