Toy Review - CW Sky Lynx

[Dimi194]

When this toy was revealed I kinda only wanted it for the Sky Reign mode, as Lynx himself looked super odd to me (as a not G1 fan).

But having him in the flesh I'm loving all the of the figure! Robot/Monster thing mode is really nice (though so way of making distinct eyes would have been nice) and despite the weird undercarriage I couldn't stop playing with the shuttle!

Can't wait to try out the torso mode once the limbs for him arrive.

However lots of floppy joints; I tightened the back feet and the blue wing-tips with a screwdriver out of the box to get them to be useable, and the key leg joints (which become arms and leg joints in torso mode) don't even feel like they have ratchets, so we'll see...

There's a video to fix the hip ratchets:

First example of Sky Lynx I've owned and while I would have preferred leader class, still quite happy. Haven't bothered to set him up with some combiner limbs yet, but I probably won't do that for a while.

+1. Would love this guy to have been upscaled, even with the current level of engineering. Very nice little mould.

Mine will be Sky Lynx, not used as a combiner.

Agreed there, he's on my shelf as himself (I suppose it helps that I skipped his limb bots entirely)

Got him today from Premium Collectables. I like him, but I have a few ideas for mods

I haven't been able to find this toy yet but I had a fiddle with someone else's CW Sky Lynx today. The engineering behind it is pretty neat. Having no electronic gimmick really frees up the designers to be able to utilise the "Lynx" faux-component (which is just a block in the G1 toy). Overall it's a really impressive homage to the G1 figure, although I'm still not entirely sold on the horns. Looks neat enough in robot mode, but weird in shuttle mode. My main criticism of this toy are the blue wings in robot mode which are really floppy and don't seem to be able to lock into position.

Still, I'm gonna buy this toy on sight if I can find one!

Would love to contribute to this review but I'm also having difficulties finding one

I bought 2 from Penrith Kmart. Give it tome, he'll show up. Haven't had a good chance to play with him yet, but I have to tighten up some joints it seems
