I see a slight improvement in proportions [IMO] in DOTM Skids--stockier than his ROTF toy, which makes the DOTM toy more accurate, I think. That said, the "raccoon eyes" effect from the black paint outlining his eyes looks goofy, making him look like some Cybertronian burglar along with his new black paint.
I dunno what to say about the mechtech gun. On one hand, it look nice on him, but that comical reticule on it just looks ridiculous.
All in all, he seems to be one of the better DOTM figs I've seen so far along with Ironhide.
Now where are those Leader class OP, Megs and Shockwave toys I've been waiting to see?

Ditto! Not so sure bout the gun, but I like him more so than the ROTF version

It's probably just another case of the stereotypical persona there trying to give off with the twins. I do like that however.

He looks much better than the ROTF version. I must have him.

DOTM Skids looks pretty good but I'm still on the fence about getting any of the DOTM figures so far... I'd rather spend my money on RiS and Generations figures I guess.

His proportions do appear to be a little bit more even and at least now, from what I can tell, his teeth match. I'm not of fan of these gargantuan Mech-Tech abominations that they are using for weapons. I highly doubt that they are using these over-sized creations in the movie so I see no reason why they are necessary for the toys. If the toy can't sell on it's own merit and instead needs this eyesore of a gimmick, then maybe they should rethink putting the toy out there in the first place. I'm not trying to be jerk about this entire line like I have been in previous posts, I'm just asking that Hasbro make a choice; either sell the figure or sell the weapon because so far not a single weapon has been anywhere close to proportionate with the figure for which it's intended. Even kids are going to be pissed if they can't pose a figure with its gun in its hand because the gun instantly drops the arm down or makes the figure fall over.

All negatives aside, lose the green on the mirrors and I'll actually consider picking this one up (and the inevitable Mudflap) for it's vehicle mode. After taking a second look at the pics I have to admit that it does make for a sharp looking car. Having the pair displayed in vehicle mode would be something that I would not be entirely opposed to.

It just looks like they are simplifying all the transformations which is really good for kids but really anoying for collectors like myself that enjoy the complex transformations. so far I havent seen anything I plan on buying except the new megatron. hopefully these are all just bad pictures of mistransformed toys. guess we'll have to wait and see...

HFTD Skids is so much a shelf warmer now. Plus the Tuner Mudflap, why didn't Hasbro just give up on them?

HA! More suck!!! Haha, where are all the hardcore movie fans at now? On the bright side, serious movieverse fans are setting up for an epic " I TOLD YOU SO!" if later designs improve. Goodluck with that.

Have to admit, I kind like this mold. THe pictures were taken without enough light to show the details, but I am liking this incarnation. I'm looking forward to TOy Fare so we can get a better idea of the MechTech feature and see more figs from the line.

Third pending that they continue Generations/Reveal The Shield while the movie line's out.

I've seen that stupid face before, on a stupid character, in a stupid movie...looks like he's back to make the next one as stupid as possible.

No matter how good they make a toy of Skids I don't think I want a second. The most screen accurate Skids ever is always going to look stoo-pid.
