Sky Lynx (SG)

Sky Lynx is an evil Autobot from the Shattered Glass continuity family.

He probably sounds just like Droopy.

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.

He is prone to fly into anxiety attacks whenever he hears poetry, music, or any kind of rhyming speech.

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 profile in Club magazine #26

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. Reunification: Part 5

Some time later, Sky Lynx had rejoined the Autobots. When the Autobot assault on Decepticon City on Earth failed, Sky Lynx acted as getaway transport for the villains. Restoration He had to apologetically inform Rodimus that unless they lightened his load, they weren't going to make it to their destination. Rodimus took that as his cue to kick Optimus Prime and a few other Autobots off the ship. Familiar Reflections

When the dark Primus assumed his robot mode, Sky Lynx transported many of his fellow Rodimus-aligned Autobots in fleeing the transforming world, traveling for parts unknown. The Future Buried...

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.
• While it isn't able to split into two components, the Combiner Wars toy for Generation 1 Sky Lynx is capable of turning into the winged lynx mode of this Sky Lynx with a bit of fiddling around.
