Hmm...
Nope... nope.
These aren't firetrucks fighting sharks. Which is fine, don't get me wrong, but someone is going to have to explain the reference to me.
Well, the analogy is obvious. The pack of saber-toothed tigers were the sharks of the time period (Sharks also existed, of course, but were busy in New York fighting the Jets for control of the schoolyard) and I think we can all agree that a mammoth is basically the same thing as a firetruck. They both have hoses/trunks, can squirt water, and go WOO WOO WOO as they drive around flashing their lights.
Skybyte is a great Voyager toy. He looks the part, the transformation’s under control, articulation is reasonable and unlike T30, he’s actually got lower legs this time. Shark mode is alright but the pectoral fins easily could have been ball joints for more expressive articulation and while I don’t miss the dolphin jump pose T30 had, the shark mode in this case seems a bit too stiff. Slightly more curvature would look more natural but eh cyborg shark monster is anything but. The missile launcher accessory is kind of meh. It can attach to the shark mouth and store in the upper jaw but there aren’t any alternative mounting positions and it does nothing for robot mode. Sure he can hold it but it looks like a pair of binoculars. In shark mode, it looks like he’s choking on it.
Also a weird move to for Hasbro to have me bring out the model kit clippers. Not a hassle but yeah, unusual. Last time they did this was TR Broadside? And I left the tiny planes on the runners.

He also never actually ever wielded it in hand in the cartoon.
He only ever used it to shoot torpedo missiles from his shark mouth in beast mode.
