    finally got around to actually setting Sky Lynx up as a combiner with my orphan-limb bots as I never got the last two Dlx Autobot waves because I liked my existing representations of those characters.

    Wasn't too impressed over all



    Legs were quite loose, especially his left, and the arm ports tab in only from Sky Lynx' rear feet, and it's not a very deep/firm tab, so it's a little looser than Hot Spot's chest piece joint...

    Don't get me wrong, I mostly like the way he looks (apart from almost no neck) - that Lynx face is perfect, and it's a pretty interesting way to turn a long necked quadrupedal mechanical nightmare creature into a relatively workable combiner torso... could have done a few things better though.

    I floor polished a few of the looser joints on mine the other day. Places like the wing extensions and ankles and he is much better now. It could probably do with another coat on the wing extensions but I couldn't be bothered pulling it apart again.

    I have no intention of ever using my Sky Lynx as a gestalt (although I might try it at least once when I'm bored enough just for the heck of it ). But I do intend on getting Lio Kaiser and displaying that in gestalt form, so I do hope that they address this issue by time they get around to retooling it. Although knowing Hasbro, I wouldn't hold my breath.
