It is clear why astrotrain is out of scale.. Two things.. Cost cutting and cost cutting. The Transformers team knows astrotrain should be bigger, it's the clowns 🤡 sitting at the upper management don't seem to be interested in scale. They are more interested how to save money for the company and hence keep their jobs a little longer.
G1 combiners? Nah we had everything in CW. Thing is that Skyfire "being from bandai" and both Skylynx and Omega were figures from non takara lines, and were depicted as bigger. And since they were all autobots they fall in a unique catagory. As for non US centered cartoon figures only Star Saber would fit the bill. But then again he is also a Autobot. The only two options I can think of are a true PM optimus prime. And a new Sixshot. But both were figures we got in Titans Return. I wonder how fast they want to dip into these figures. Prime is always a big seller, but Sixshot.
I think that broad side should be in Titan class coz technically back in g1 broad side was the same size as Devastator and also because omega was the same size as Devastator and both of these characters got toys in combiner wars and siege in Titan class
Salkafar You sure? Broadside is for sure a character. Dude's the largesf of all triple-changers. He needs a better figure than the Power of the Primes crap.
Practically universal acclaim from every written and video review. I mean I was definitely gonna get him as Sky Lynx is among my Top 5 Autobots, but I’m just so delighted that he’s being represented by this true magnificence. Commander class is definitely on a roll and I’m certainly eager to see what other characters will get this treatment.
I like that there is a base mode for the two modes to be combined into because it's "something else".... though I do wish that the Lynx would turn into something else besides BRICK. Maybe like a sort of superheavy rover or something. HOLY CRAP IT'S GOT ITS OWN UNIQUE SPACE SHUTTLE NAME THAT'S SO AWESOME
My opinion for next Commander Class figure is Star Saber. While I have and like the Masterpiece one, he was only Masterpiece in intricate design work and not actual size. Masterpiece size/scale would have been about 18 inches minimum. We will now wait and see who Commander Class #3 will be.
If they go into Takara's characters, Galaxy Shuttle from Victory even though we just got Sky Lynx. Sky Garry from Battlestars would also be good. For the Decepticons, Overlord would be excellent and Deathsaurus from Victory.
Great review Balt!. As for other commander class figure ideas, I was thinking G1 Thunderwing. He would have both outer shell and inner robot transforming with a 11 inch shell robot and an 7-9 inch inner robot mode. His outer robot mode should look like Geoff Seniors rendition from the last two years of the G1 Marvel comic. We got a deluxe Thunderwing in 2010 that was decent but too small. Commander class would be a great way to update him and do the pretender gimmick justice.
The upwards angle on the shuttle thrusters is due to the whole module being inherently unbalanced, requiring the angle of thrust to maintain stability on launch.
I found it awkward attaching the wings to the shuttle mode. They don't have an obvious attachment, you have to wriggle them on. And attaching the shuttle to the carrier is a little awkward.
For all the complaining that can be done about the deluxe/voyager/leader size classes, there's no doubt that the Commander Class is one of the best things to happen for Siege. It seems to be very experimental and purpose-made as "big dumb toys for collectors that we don't want to downscale for Leader size". It's a sort of neat mixture between Titan and Leader.
I found i like spreading the wings so the round parts of the shuttle wings face forward. It looks more impressive and on mine the blue wing parts are loose so this way negates that issue a bit.
I thought Lynx had no tail. like bobcats? Yet this one has TWO LONG TAILS! Sonic crossover, anyone? . and don't mention Star Saber! you'll attract that guy spamming EVERY TFormers post!!
Well, the next wave after Earthrise will probably be remakes of the G1 season 3 characters. So maybe Rodimus Prime as commander class? He can be a Leader class basic figure as Hot Rod but combines with his camper to become Rodimus. Similar to what they did in Power of the Primes but better this time.
This is a really great figure of a character design that I absolutely hate. Sky-Lynx has just always been just a hair too goofy and lazy for me. Still, happy for those who don’t feel as I do. Crossing my fingers for some Armada updates to come along at some point. Or at the very least, just not G1.
I want Armada tidal wave. but they could do sky Garry, Mazin Zarak from Beast Wars II, Raiden from Headmasters, or do LioKaiser propper. or that robot hologram that Hound conjures in heavy metal war. but the thing is with transformers, is I want something new, not G1 centric, or centric to any previous canon. because let's face it, after Prime, Hasbro has mostly focused on revamping the old and not making anything new.
The original Sky Lynx figure was not from Takara but from another toy company that also made the original Omega Supreme, that's the reason both of them seem a bit odd compared with the rest of figures.
The IDW Trailbreaker is on the box and not a G1 inspired one? They could make some artwork and I mean they did already make a G1 inspired Trailbreaker now, though I wish it weren't a Hoist remold and a new mold completely.. I view them as two similar yet different in even the body shape... Like Hoist can be chubby or something and Trailbreaker is a more buff looking guy, having a big chest
For Commander Class They could do: - Unicron/Primus - A Leader Class with a bunch of accessories, sort of like how some leaders have been basically deluxes w/ accessories - Metroplex since this line is all about base modes.
I wish Astro Train was released in this scale, I think as both him and Jetfire are transporters I got the sense he's as big as Jetfire.
Andrew Lewis that’s exactly what I thought. He he’s a voyager in a leader packaging, I was extremely disappointed when I saw how small he was
That's what I was thinking. Especially now with the Netflix show.
That's Grimlock
We need Cyberverse Astro train to be in that scale. With NO gimmicks

Some possibilities for the next Commander class figure:
- Armada Tidal Wave
- Star Saber
- Any of the G1 Combiners (as a set)
G1 combiners? Nah we had everything in CW. Thing is that Skyfire "being from bandai" and both Skylynx and Omega were figures from non takara lines, and were depicted as bigger. And since they were all autobots they fall in a unique catagory. As for non US centered cartoon figures only Star Saber would fit the bill. But then again he is also a Autobot.

Tidal Wave would be awesome.
Ah I thought of Tidal Wave, nice to know I wasn't the only one
Would be awesome to see an North American release of Star Saber
we need a decepticon commander class so maybe one of the triple changers.
broadside at this size class so you could park at least 1 combiner wars jet on the deck would be cool
You bet it's coming. I predict that we'll get a redo of Broadside pretty soon
I think that broad side should be in Titan class coz technically back in g1 broad side was the same size as Devastator and also because omega was the same size as Devastator and both of these characters got toys in combiner wars and siege in Titan class
Shamim Sultana you’re ignoring your own words. He was the same size in “G1” (ie the king of “scale is not consistent and doesn’t matter” productions)
That’d be pretty dope but I’d prefer my commander class tidal wave instead.
Salkafar You sure? Broadside is for sure a character. Dude's the largesf of all triple-changers. He needs a better figure than the Power of the Primes crap.
0:06 im pretty sure Skylynx is anything but humble
Practically universal acclaim from every written and video review. I mean I was definitely gonna get him as Sky Lynx is among my Top 5 Autobots, but I’m just so delighted that he’s being represented by this true magnificence.

IDW Thunderwing and his super mode could fit this size class perfectly.
I like that there is a base mode for the two modes to be combined into because it's "something else".... though I do wish that the Lynx would turn into something else besides BRICK. Maybe like a sort of superheavy rover or something.
HOLY CRAP IT'S GOT ITS OWN UNIQUE SPACE SHUTTLE NAME THAT'S SO AWESOME
Next commander class should be a decipticon: maybe Tidalwave?
I agree!
Commander class ideas:
-Tidalwave
-broadside
-ThunderWing
-Deathsaurus
-Railracer
-Overlord
Who’s Deathsaurus? And who’s Railracer?
Thanatos Deathsaurus was the Decepticon commander in Transformers Victory. Railracer was an Autobot combiner formed from three bullet trains.
How about Metroplex or transmetal 2 Megatron?
@@Canadian-Asian-dude that’s the same questions I had
Broadside, Tidal Wave, Transmetal 3 megs, Tarn, and Sixshot would be amazing in this class
There was no Transmetal 3.
Dragon Megatron was Transmetal II
This Sky Lynx looks absolutely amazing.
My opinion for next Commander Class figure is Star Saber. While I have and like the Masterpiece one, he was only Masterpiece in intricate design work and not actual size. Masterpiece size/scale would have been about 18 inches minimum. We will now wait and see who Commander Class #3 will be.
For the base mode, there's actually a triangular tab on the shuttle that the lynx's ramp can fit onto for a more secure connection.
Good tip, thanks!
Good tip, thanks!

Good tip, thanks!
Good tip, thanks!
So far, all the commander class figures have been (or become) autobots. As of this point, the Kingdom commander class is Rodimus Prime.
17:36 YES. *FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YES PLEASE!*
I'd love to see a star saber or tidel wave in comander class
this looks so good. i had the original skylinx when i was a kid. i have this on pre order and cant wait for it to come.
I can't be the only one that hates how spindly those bird legs are. It's a commander sized bird with deluxe sizes legs
I’ve had this bad dude for over 2 weeks here in the UK, can’t believe I got him before TH-cam reviewers lol.
If they go into Takara's characters, Galaxy Shuttle from Victory even though we just got Sky Lynx. Sky Garry from Battlestars would also be good. For the Decepticons, Overlord would be excellent and Deathsaurus from Victory.
Powermaster Prime would have been perfect for this size but they made one too recently.
Beast Wars Megatron?
Commander Broadside
The closest thing to a masterpiece
10:08 yay a pigeon totally getting this one for pigeon day
his "Sky" portion as a standalone robot mode looks like an eagle who went through a hellish ordeal and needs medical help.
I all ways thought that the sky part looked like a chicken with a long neck
Maybe Now that kingdom is pretty much out, they could do a commander class rampage or transmetal 2 megatron. Who knows at this point...
Great review Balt!. As for other commander class figure ideas, I was thinking G1 Thunderwing. He would have both outer shell and inner robot transforming with a 11 inch shell robot and an 7-9 inch inner robot mode.

Commander class would be a great way to update him and do the pretender gimmick justice.
Overlord at this size class would be awesome!!
I want to see sky lynx in the Netflix serie.
I think that if Hasbro saw this video we would get a tidal wave
We need Astro Train to be this scale (cyberverse) with NO gimmicks
I could really go for a Commander Class Tidal Wave. Which could also be used to make a Commander Class Broadsides.
Little did we know the commander class figure was gonna be Rodimus Prime
The upwards angle on the shuttle thrusters is due to the whole module being inherently unbalanced, requiring the angle of thrust to maintain stability on launch.
I think they can make a commander class armada ultimate Optimus prime!especially because we already got the cybertron one in seige
Space shuttle bird lion? The shuttle I get. The lion I get. Bird? Not sure what kind, but I see it. The combined mode me of a dragon.
That neck extension is so satisfying
1:46 that looks kinda like Bumblebee, but I’m not sure if it is.
Bumblebee dies, YAAAY!! :D
oh yeah
I was really on the fence about this one.
I think I need it now. I'll die without it!
You should do a video of you combining him and omega
I found it awkward attaching the wings to the shuttle mode. They don't have an obvious attachment, you have to wriggle them on. And attaching the shuttle to the carrier is a little awkward.
Where did you get a Sky Lynx, and why don't I have a Sky Lynx?
He's hit retail in Europe, it's incredibly rare that we get anything first.
optimus prime and bumbeelbe
Project overdrive is overlord and he's commander class form is the same size as skylinks
unicron is on the earthrise boxart,they could do unicron for the comander class in the thrid part of the toy line and maybe primus for titan class
Nice review...cant wait for mine

I found i like spreading the wings so the round parts of the shuttle wings face forward. It looks more impressive and on mine the blue wing parts are loose so this way negates that issue a bit.
I have a very big feeling that the really small bot on the box was bumblebee
Next Commander class: Organic Dragon Beast Wars Megatron
You heard it here first.
I'd love a star saber
Love your video and i like to watch your old video
Transformation for the bird is like the g1 version the wings,tail,neck,and kinda the bird legs and same for the linx legs and head.
The correct procedure for loud ratchets is turning up the volume
I thought Lynx had no tail. like bobcats? Yet this one has TWO LONG TAILS! Sonic crossover, anyone?
.
and don't mention Star Saber! you'll attract that guy spamming EVERY TFormers post!!
double tails is a common trope for magic cats, sonic didn't invent it
@@masterboa6321 NineTails is a Japanese myth. Twin tails are almost nonexistent from the material I've read.
@@brainlock72 Espeon
@@masterboa6321 gesundheit.
@@brainlock72 ?
Shuttle lion bird.HAHA
1:45 that is star scream I think since he got king at the end of cybertron by megaton for being what he is
this figure is awesome

He can be a Leader class basic figure as Hot Rod but combines with his camper to become Rodimus. Similar to what they did in Power of the Primes but better this time.
"kitty mode" got a snort out of me
Edit: The bird mode also got a snort but not a good one
6:30 looks like it would work with siege astrotrain too

It would be interesting to see Hasbro sell these two individually
balt: take the legs and point them to the sky.
me: and point them to the sky... lynx
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA no
I feel like the shuttle wings could’ve been bigger
Yeah the Hasbro Pulse shipping warehouse seems to be hit very hard by... ongoing events in the current year :(
@2:17 or as Emgo316 calls them Bloosh bits.
I always found it hard to see Skylynx as someone who belongs in the franchise. Samegoes for Beast War Mutants.
The original Sky Lynx figure was not from Takara but from another toy company that also made the original Omega Supreme, that's the reason both of them seem a bit odd compared with the rest of figures.
A side note for the base mode: the main ramp actually tabs into the shuttle's cargo bay
nothing to how long very
Maybe the next figure in the Size Class could be Grimlock?
Grimlock has never been depicted as anything resembling this size.
I would just buy the space shuttle part just so I could have in space shuttle mode and have its Neck extend so it’s a long boi
The IDW Trailbreaker is on the box and not a G1 inspired one? They could make some artwork and I mean they did already make a G1 inspired Trailbreaker now, though I wish it weren't a Hoist remold and a new mold completely.. I view them as two similar yet different in even the body shape... Like Hoist can be chubby or something and Trailbreaker is a more buff looking guy, having a big chest
1:50 I'm pretty sure that's foc bruticus from the final level when jetfire shoots him off the ark
Wow, Hasbro put advertising for the coneheads on the box of sky lynx.
1:42 it's Galvatron.
Commander class deathsaurus
Hi bolt matrix i want to ask you do the blast effecks come wiht the toy?
Commander class: Tidal Wave, Deathsaurus, Star Saber. Come on HasTak, hook a fanboy up.
I love how you are funny
Commander Class Beast War Rampage
What is the use of the decoder and tha map?
They should make a cyclones and galvatron 2 pack.
If they made a tidal wave it could come with a minicon because of armada and it could turn in to a jet for the boat mode like if you agree
They should do a broad side finally a carrier bigger than a plane not smaller
I was hoping for an overlord
Are there any more episodes of Cyberverse after the end of the universe part four?
“Who else can be Commander size?”
D I N O B O T S ??????
No
excited for the vidio
I love sky lynx
I need this figure.
overlord yes want now
Me too
So
Found it in target.
Odd.
I was thinking commander class astrotrain and that one big autobot hologram hound create in g1
He'd go good with fort max
Such a huge improvement over the crappy combiner wars skylynx whom I like to call craplynx because it's crap.
For Commander Class They could do:
- Unicron/Primus
- A Leader Class with a bunch of accessories, sort of like how some leaders have been basically deluxes w/ accessories
- Metroplex since this line is all about base modes.
Their already making a unicron and whilst it be cool to have another metroplex how would they improve on the generations form
metroplex is a titan though, there's a class for that
the only thing missing is a micromaster
Star Sabre
Maybe
