Originally release style back in 1986 , Skylynx was one of the grander transformer toy dog of its sentence , combining a walking , wheel mechanised Leo with a bird that turned into a infinite shuttle . In retrospect , a robot gryphon did n’t make a lot of sensation , but that did n’t stop it from being awful . And that ’s apparently why Hasbro has chosen to revive Skylynx as part of its incredibly popular Combiners series .
The original version of Skylynx was actually able to take the air on all four legs thanks to a battery - powered motorized mechanism in the lion , but that ’s been scrap on the fresh version — revealed just this retiring weekend at Botcon 2015 — so that it can transform and serve well as the trunk for a Combiners bot called Sky Reign .
Deluxe class Autobots Hound , Trailcutter , Smokescreen , and Wheeljack wait on as Sky Reign ’s arms and leg , while the lion ’s own head actually does two-fold - duty for the massive bot as well . Pricing , availability , and all that important information is still to come , but you may safely take up these fresh Transformers will be hitting toy shop shelves just in time for your holiday shopping after this year .
