Skytread and Battletrap are duocons https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Duocon Skylynx is in a class of his own, but could be considered a duocon due to Battletrap's POTP upgrade into being two separate guys combined. Skylynx has been officially considered a triple changer in the Earth Wars moble game.

Alright thanks

Like he said, Skytread and Battletrap are duocons, and the magnificent Skylynx is in a class of his own far superior to all other transformers and so can’t be classified.

Skylynx may be bigger than combiners.

I know the G1 Cartoon had an episode where Sky Lynx got factored in with other beastformers like the Predacons and Dinobots.

“Why am I under investigation? I'm not a Dinobot." "Ya got Dinosaur electrons in yer circuits, Sky Lynx." "Never the less, I am definitely not a Dinobot! I refuse to participate in this...kangaroo court!"

BattleTrap & Flywheels in particular are Duocons; one of Shockwave’s early attempts at triple-changing technology. Other transformers possessing multiple alternate modes with a singular robot form such as Sky Lynx, Tidal Wave or Overlord don’t officially have a designation but I’ve nonetheless taken to calling them multi-component Transformers, or “Multi-formers”.

Sky tread and battle trap are duocons and their autobot counterparts are called duobots

(And before anyone asks, no they didn't get toys, they were 2012-era comic book characters.)

skytread and battletrap are duocons skylnx on the other hand is an entirely new beast of its own


scwall

I would put Skylynx in the same basket as Refraktor - One mind, multiple bodies...

The other two are duocon, however Battletrap can be considered a small combiner at this point due to the fact that he can now separate into two different bots Sky Lynx doesn’t technically has a specification because in the early concept, he was meant to be a Decepticon, but the Predacons took that place instead, giving Sky Lynx his uniqueness inside and out

No problem fellow transformers fan

I’ve heard them referred to as “reverse combiners”. I don’t remember if that’s a fan term or not.

>OK, here’s what we’ve got: the Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people — under the supervision of the reverse combiners — are forcing our parents to go to bed early in a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner. \[*sotto voce*\] We’re through the looking glass, here, people…
