Great, like Kibble said, a figure that finally looks decent, but it's of one of the more ugly and minor characters. Meanwhile Prime looks like garbage.

Personally, I liked the last deluxe Skids very much. Right up until I got the Human Alliance figure and the deluxe fell by the wayside. So... even though I like this one somewhat, he's an immediate no buy because I still prefer my HA Skids.


On a completely off topic comment, I hope that they don't end up ruining the scouts for this line. I just bought Breacher last night and he's totally awesome. Hubcap before him. The scouts were oddly some of the best molds last time around.

What happend to the Twins in ROTF as we last saw them fighting Devastator and they weren't at the end.

Why does everyone say that!?

Ignorance is bliss, apparently. Here, let me help.

Race: 1. A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.
2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race.
3. A genealogical line; a lineage.

Culture:1. the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc.
2. that which is excellent in the arts, manners, etc.
3. a particular form or stage of civilization, as that of a certain nation or period: Greek culture.
4. development or improvement of the mind by education or training.
5. the behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic, or age group: the youth culture; the hip-hop culture.

That help anyone?

Exactly.

Wow, I'm actually impressed, the new mold looks great. Except his head...it looks hilariously bad with all of the black paint apps, I'm sure once he arrives in the States and we get better pictures and video reviews it might look better, because the lighting in this picture
Isn't helping. He is still a must-buy form atleast me.

now what is up with DOTM


the only one that i like is starscreams alt mode

if that screamer alt mode was real

the only thing i wish for on the new screamer toy is that it was a leader or a voyager.

i mean come one another leader bumblebee? why not a decepticon?
at least shockwave, screamer, or megatron

I really like the mold and the new color scheme BUT I do not like the colors on the head. Makes his eyes look weird or something.

I wonder if they will explain why he and Mudflap have a big arm and a little arm in this movie?

JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GHETTO ACCENT DOESNT MEAN THEYRE BLACK!!!! THERE CAN BE GHETTO AMERICANS, MEXICANS, ASIANS, ECT.!! ASSUMING THEYRE BLACK JUST CUZ THEYRE GHETTO IS RACIST!!! THAT MAKES YOU THE RACIST!!

I don't understand you you're getting so defensive about it. The facti is, they're based off of a stereotype. An african american sterotype? Not necessarily, but signs point that way. Regardless, their caricaturistic protrayal is obviously stereotyping something. Take your caps rage elsewhere, please.

Looks like a definite improvement over the ROTF Skids; the mould (and transformation) might be fundamentally the same, but it looks more like a scaled-down Human Alliance figure...Which is good!

So yay! First DOTM figure I really like! (the Voyager Optimus looks really off; so I was hunting Battle Blades Prime nearly all day today; thank goodness I found one!)

love the alt mode especially the flare kit and lets face it none of the movie-verse robot modes have been all that pretty.

i kinda like this nice upgrade

Electric Feel by MGMT

Alt mode really pops. Bot mode, not as much as I'd hoped. For whatever reason, I enjoyed the twins in ROTF and Skids was easily my favorite of the two. The green just really grabbed my attention. Maybe seeing the movie will sway my opinion on the deco.

And that's right, you'll be getting a whole lot of Skids and his twin brother Mudflap in the upcoming Transformers movie this summer, Dark Of The Moon. Images have surfaced on 4chan, revealing that Skids will be receiving a brand new figure in the Deluxe class. The young Autobot Chevrolet Beat is deco'd in black bright green and is well armed with a 'MechTech' gun. It is likely that Mudflap will also receive the same treatment with a brand new mold as well. Since the original source contains questionable content, the images can be viewed on Youtube. The images can also be found on ACToys.net.

No, he more or less said that they'd receive less screen time and that their brand of humor would be in small doses, if at all.

I think they would work well in a battle scene as a little background humor to lighten up the darkness of what is likely going on just enough. As bit characters I think they would work very well. I'm just hoping Mudflap gets a nice new mold like Skids and both make good robots because I'm not getting just Skids as he's pointless without his twin. Of course, if Mudflap does not have an improved mold like Skids does, both are out for me. Not that leaving them on the shelves is a bad thing considering all the Generations and RtS as well as what we've seen of some of the new DotM toys. This movie could provide some very cool Decepticon army builders.
