Title:
Skids
Description:
Autobot Skids (Deluxe Class, 2022)
TakaraTomy ID number: TL-01
TakaraTomy release date: July 30, 2022
Accessories: Energon axe/rifle, liquid nitrogen rifle, twin electron blaster
Part of the first wave of Legacy Deluxe Class toys, "Autobot Skids” is a (mostly) cartoon-accurate version of the character which transforms into an approximation of a Honda City Turbo. He comes with his trademark liquid nitrogen rifle and twin electron blaster, as well as a translucent-blue Energon rifle that doubles as an axe (though the instructions make no note of using it this way). The three weapons can combine to form a super weapon.
If one feels the need, Skids’s shoulders are on multiple hinges, so they can be dropped down to the mistransformed position his Generation 1 cartoon model was based on. Skids’s back kibble can also slide up and down, giving one the option to have Skids displayed with the iconic-look or a cleaner silhouette; though, sliding it all the way up for the iconic-look will hinder his head articulation, so leaving it at the midway notch may be preferable. Additionally, his entire back kibble/car roof assembly is made of painted translucent plastic, so caution is recommended when adjusting or transforming him. Some buyers have reported it impossible to fully tab Skids’s roof into place in vehicle mode, likely due to differing plastic tolerances. In a similar vein, it’s recommended to not fully insert his twin electron blaster into either of his arms’ peg holes, as the tight fit and lack of clearance to wiggle it out can cause the gun to snap off its peg.
This figure was revealed by IGN as a teaser for the Legacy line on October 20, 2021.[6]
This figure was retooled with a new head into Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection Burn Out, and heavily retooled into Crankcase.
