Sky Lynx has an intimidating appearance, impressive size, incredible speed and strength, and an immense ego. He never misses a chance to point out his superior skill at transporting fellow Autobots over vast expanses of space or mopping the floor with the likes of Predaking.

In an army of fighters, tacticians, commandos, spies, and rampaging primitives, the brilliant and eloquent Autobot scientist known as Perceptor stands out. Or at least he did until he recently decided to become a crack shot in the IDW comics.

Microscope Mode: This odd-looking but unmistakeable instrument of science has a base measuring about 10.5 ( Read more... )

I’ve been a fan of Grimlock for as long as the character has existed. As a child, it was primarily because he transformed into a rampaging, robotic Tyrannosaurus rex, but I also enjoyed his ferocious nature, his disdain for authority, and his funny way of speaking.
