The only skunk transformer toy that I can remember was from the rid line and I can't for the life me remember what his name was.

That(Gas Skunk) is also repaint of a maximal in Beastwars. I can't remember the name, but I do believe it was a girl.

I remember him. My friend gave him a bath as a kid.

That's actually a repaint of Beast Wars Stinkpot. I used to have it. Cool toy, albeit somewhat of a shellformer.

Well, yes and no. Gas Skunk from RID was a "repaint"/re-release of the BW Stinkbomb. Of course, in BW, he was a Maximal, but was used as a Predacon in RID... and an inept one, at that.

I could have sworn there was a version called Stinkpot. Silly me.

Ah. Thank you. That was the name of her. I always seemed to have trouble remembering that one.

No sweat. Either way, the name isn't flattering...but it WAS a skunk after all, so what choice did they have? :D

I think that may have been one of those things like guys calling their cars "she."

Yeah, I guess there's not many ways you can repaint a skunk and still keep it a skunk. They could have repainted him grey or brown and made him a flipped out squirel.

BTW, I always thought Stinkbomb was a girl, but I just check tfu.info and the VSDB, and they both say she's a he...as is Gas Skunk. Maybe I'm thinking of his Car Robots counterpart?

Well if memory serves, I believe I remember reading that Stickbomb was girl. No matter though, it can all be cleared up when that Beast Wars profile comics get released.

Heck if it was skunk they could have called her the cheese cutter or the muffin cutter but then that is about as stupid as stinkbomb. So I guess there really is no good way to name skunk.

Stinkbomb is a very under-rated figure. Interesting transformation for a basic and good posability, especially with the tail on a ball joint.
