    I shoulda took a pic, eh? Hahaha. Plastic ties holding down the two components in a cardboard tray, shuttle mode wings slightly mistransformed to accommodate space, baggy for the leg armour and blast effects.

    Both exciting and depressing at the same time. Exciting to see so many new and cool pics of Skylynx, but depressing because you got him already and I didn't and now the rest of us have to wait and wait and wait to get this beast LOL .I can't wait to get my grubby little hands on him now, Give me give me give me!! :)  Seriously though, he is an amazing looking figure, like a scaled down MP quality wise. I am really enjoying this Earthrise series of figures so far and very happy to have bought into this line!! Would really love to see some idea's they have for future character releases they have planned for us..

    Kapow just shipped him out for those who had preorders, meanwhile Amazon says October and Hasbro Pulse last I checked said September so atleast for us in the US, it could be a few months

    Sky lynx looks pretty remarkable (except for the bird mode which is remarkably bad :lolol )!!! The commander class strikes again. I said this when he was revealed, but I can’t believe how good the Lynx mode is.

    From what we are hearing about like Ironhide, Prowl and now Bluestreak, all we need now are Ratchet, Hound and Sideswipe.

    The bird mode is very G1 toy accurate and the Lynx mode is too. Its a brick literally with non moving twin tails , blue shoes, and slightly adjustable head and shoulders.

    Hm? Leg and foot articulation is proper juicy! The tails articulate up and down, he has a decent range of motion in the head given its design and the way the shoulders pop out to increase dynamic movement is a lovely touch.

    Eh, the proportions of the G1 bird weren’t as reedy or goofy - still the worst mode, but marginally better then this. (And the G1 Lynx wasn’t nearly as dynamic or well sculpted)
