"The counter arguments against this idea have been very poor". No they haven't. You just ignore them. Ignore the points all you want but that won't make you any more right. "Queen Lancers not only have different faces than the Lancers but they also have different body types"

......The Queen Lancer is literally identical to the younger Lancers, the only differences are a bigger butt, edgier wings and a bigger stinger. Other than that, they are pretty much the same. Including the face.

With the Lancers, you'd have to be blind to not see how the Queen Lancer is, effectively, just a fatter and bigger Lancer. But with the Sphinx and Manticore however, their bodies are very different. The Sphinx is not merely "a bigger Manticore" like the Queen Lancer is to the Lancers. To list the differences (again):

>The Sphinx is noticeably more slender than the Manticore.

>The Sphinx lacks the big mane of bonespikes.

>The Sphinx has 3 toes on each paw, the Manticore has 4 on each paw.

>The Manticore has a longer and wider snout than the Sphinx.

>The Sphinx has a very different skull, and the symbol on the forehead is also different.

>The big one: Manticores have a SCORPION tail, Sphinxes have a SNAKE tail.

The only small differences are the snout, toe-number and symbol. Everything else is so different between both of them that you'd have to be literally blind to think they're the same species. Especially with the tail.
