Description Here's my design for G1 Sky Lynx if he had a fourth 'combined' robot mode. His tail transforms into an energon whip.

Heeeey, I was wondering when you were going to draw Sky Lynx again XDΒ 

But seriously, love this design! The tail whip reminds me of Optimus Minor and it looks wicked! The mouth as the head is a nice touch too! Looks fantastic man! Β

Thanks! Gotta say I've been inspired by your re-designs. Thought I'd have a go too. It's a lot harder than it looks, but lots of fun. Yeah, I figure he's the kind of guy that likes to crack the whip!

Anytime! Β 

Oh really now? That's great to hear! Oh yeah, but it is rewarding at the end of everything. Β 

Sky Lynx turned out great too if I haven't said it enough.Β 

XD Because Sky Lynx will be the greatest foe when his magnificent hands get behind a bull whip! Β

I very nearly drew him with a 'proper' face instead of a visor. He would've had a twirly, Wreck Gar style moustache.

Thanks very much. It'd be great if Sky Lynx got an official robot mode at some point in the comics.

You never know mate, you might just give Β someone an idea.

For a toy hopefully!!!
We've recently gotten a Beast Hunters Sky Lynx, but I'd love a generations or masterpiece figure of him. With a robot mode too! (I know, I don't ask for much, hehe)

Lol, I was just thinking of something along the lines of an online comic or something.Β  Obviously you've got much grander plans.

I was only joking about sending it to Hasbro, but then thought 'what the hell' this morning and sent it to them. I've since read in their website that they don't accept ideas or even read emails about them, so I doubt I'll hear anything.
I'll just have to make one myself by gathering a load of Sky Lynx Junkers and glueing them together.

Wow, fairplay to you for even trying.Β  It sounds about right for Hasbro though, they must get tonnes of suggestions.

Β 

It'll be cool to see, if you make it.

Very very interesting design and ideas! I'm imagining all of the robot figure comes from his lynx/cat mode and the bird becomes some of his body parts like the head and the rest behind his back? I like how the head comes out of his lynx mode kinda like Voltron! Drawing his tail as a energon whip weapon is a cool idea too! Now I'm eager to see a coloured version of him and can also imagine those areas that would be filled in with his colour schemes!

Thanks. Glad you like him. Yeah, I took inspiration from Divebomb for his head, which is inside the Lynx mouth. I doubt this design would work as he'd literally have to fall to pieces then get joined up again. His main body is the blue Lynx part, with his thighs made of the shuttle bay doors. His legs and arms are both the Lynx parts too. I'll have to colour him in at some point with pencils to hopefully show it a bit clearer. He's a little bit like Flywheels, with the shuttle/bird part draped over his shoulders.
I was going to also give him a rocket launcher weapon which would've been transformed from his shuttle boosters.

My pleasure! I can understand now what you mean! I like the inspirations as they do make sense to me now. Thank you for sharing and explaining your process and development of designing his robot mode! Also all the best with the coloured version, I look forward to seeing it!
