Pull out your salt shaker, because you'll be needing a grain or two when you enter RUMOR Town. Seibertronian prjkt has informed us that online retailer Chimungmung Toy Shop has listed a never before seen Black version of Generations Skids! The deco is very reminiscent of one of his Pre-Transformers "Diaclone" variations, and given the company he keeps (G2 General Optimus Prime also listed this morning) it's possible that he is another Botcon 2015 Attendee Exclusive. But remember, we are still in RUMOR Town and details are minimal non-existent so keep that salt handy. Seibertron.com will keep you updated, so stay tuned!

SG Skids is awful at learning new things and has a completely transparent back story. And his holomatter avatar looks like Arnold Rimmer.

Stepper at least had a zany deco that was all kinds of cool-looking.
And I'd have kinda preferred a SG Skids to use one of the red decos instead:

Alternatively he could be called "Screech", after the RotF Mudflap-inspired redeco of the G1 toy.

This is a perfect Botcon exclusive. Great color scheme, good mold choice, new character, obscure diaclone homage. So much win. If this comes through for this year, I will gladly pick one up. This will make an excellent addition to the ole Diaclone shelf. Truly excellent.

I like it.
THIS I would go out of my way to get.
So, this is the first botcon 2015 item I'm interested in.

Did Skids ever keep his correct head in the Marvel comics? Maybe Screech, who's technically an alternate universe Skids, could be suffering the same problem![:lol:]( "Laughing")
Whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves: everything is labeled RUMOR for a reason. All we have is a black Diaclone-inspired Gen. Skids, nothing else. Maybe it's indeed for BotCon, maybe it's an abandoned concept (like that Waspinator out of BotCon 2013 Skywarp was).

Some have suggested that he could be Flatline.

But Flatline is based on Trailcutter not Skids

Which one? The closest match would be the IDW one, but he's based on Gen. Trailcutter. Next is the Movie one, from the IDW comics, then there's the one from the Transformers Universe game.
Thing is, all of them are![:CON:]( "Decepticon")
, though the IDW one turned neutral.

And given this is Axiom Nexus we're dealing with here, it wouldn't specifically have to be the IDW G1 universe version of Flatline. For all we know, it could be a Robots in Disguise 2001 universe version of Flatline, or a Unicron Trilogy universe version of Flatline. Or an Aligned universe version of Flatline.

True, but would a black redeco of Trailcutter really be that enticing (or that different from the original)?leokearon wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Some have suggested that he could be Flatline.
