But it's not an animal form, it's his bot mode. It's just that his bot mode has four legs and a large mouth. Beastmodes are when bots go from robot to animal, Sky Lynx goes from vehicle to a four legged robot.

While I'm not a fan of Sky Lynx in either the character or the toy (i personally prefer more humanoid bot forms myself) I do think he'd be a great oddball character and a very interesting design in Animated.

...but not until other bots get into the show first.
