    These guys were cool, tough, funny, and we would have loved to see more of them. I decided but this thread for both of them seeing that they were always on screen together. They had some really great quotes and epic fight scenes too. If the next series is a sequel to this, I would love to see more of them. So lets give these big lugs some love.

    They were pretty generic...but that's more because they were brand new characters and the story wasn't able to give them as much screen time as we would have liked.

    That said, I liked them quite a bit -- they were brutal, unrelenting beasts, which is exactly how Predacons should be.

    I enjoyed them well enough. Pity it was always so gloomy when they were onscreen and I had such trouble telling them apart or seeing the details of their models. I'd have loved some clearer shots of them to see how accurate they were to the toys (or vice versa).

    I really like their dumb muscled cronie attitude. It's a bit of a shame they didn't get more screen time.

    By the way, Darksteel's such a lolcat. Most of his lines begin with a snicker or laugh!

    I wonder this as well. I wonder WHY Sky-Lynx was the bigger one and Darksteel was the smaller one. Or why he looked like Breakdown.

    They reminded me of Ransack and Crumplezone only more competant. I love 'em, easily worth rewatching just for them.

    I liked them. Hopefully, the next series is a sequel to Prime so we can see more of these guys.

    Those two were shining stars in PR Rising apart from Bee and KO themselves.
    Good thing they provided some comedy and I think Nolan and Steve both deserve some credit playing as them.

    It's intresting that despite the movie being called "Predacons Rising" there were only two other Predacons that showed up. It would have been nice to see more.

    Was I the only one who burst out laughing when Skylynx was pecking Unitron's head?

    They were troublesome in accuracy to their toys.

    There's really not much there to appreciate, considering they were both pretty much just your run of the mill generic thugs.

    Technically it's the show models that are off, since the characters were based on the toys (IIRC).

    He isn't actually green, in some shots he has blue on him.
