The thing I love about the official masterpiece is that it only came into existence because it was riding the 40th anniversary of the honda city turbo itself. Skids got an MP-tier toy because he happened to turn into a vehicle Japanese people fondly regard, not because he was deemed important or liked enough. Damn good toy, mind you.

Fun fact: Because Skids came out between the '84 and '85 waves, Hasbro didn't bother to send Sunbow's writers a bio for him. They didn't include him in either the original batch of bios, or the second one. Seriously, Skids isn't mentioned ANYWHERE in the original production bible. And because he missed the first wave, he also didn't get to appear in the commercials. And this is why Skids's few appearances in the cartoon feel almost like an accident; they kind of were.

See, the first wave of G1 toys were meant to include twelve unique toys--but, for one reason or another, it only contained eleven, with the position of the twelfth being filled by a second Mirage toy. It's believed that the twelfth was supposed to have been Grapple, hence his very brief appearance in the pilot (which later got renamed to Hauler). And at some point in very late 1984, they decided to replace the second Mirage in the case with Skids. Why didn't they just use Skids to begin with, or just keep Grapple in the first wave? I dunno.

I liked how the tires folded up under his feet and the multiple weapons. He was treated so well in the beginning of IDW, making use of his super-learning ability and had a good explanation of his amnesia trope. Then gave him trauma so bad it literally killed him.

But even HOIST got a new figure, recently. It's not my cup of tea, personally, but for people that love Hoist it's as accurate to the original, to a fault in one, or two areas, but still satisfied his fans. So Skids is just that much lower on the pole because of that. Even if he never gets another toy again, he at least deserves one good, respectful, and of course crowd-pleasing figure as his final sendoff. Hell, they could even get away with reusing some parts from Earthrise Prowl, some of the them could easily be used, or reworked for Skids with a few modifications to get the details like the wheel shoulders, the car torso, and even take advantage of the extra storage space for the van-esque mode to make the legs, arms, and feet work even better. IT's not impossible, ESPECIALLY not for the wizards behind Earthrise, almost everything they've touched has been gold, and even Studio Series is getting amazing lose for the 86 movie.

One of the funny things about Skids is that with an 8, he was the highest ranking Autobot released in 1985. As the Theoritician, he should have been Perceptor's boss.

@@zafool4997 Yes, I'm well aware of that, and that makes me very happy indeed for Skids. :) Well, hopefully Kingdom at-least, because there isn't yet a vehicle mode quite like his to be repainted for the Selects line anyway. Or, if not for either one, then hopefully sometime in the future.

There is one thing about the Bayformers that I love is the amount of detail in the transformation sequences, you pretty much see every panel, gear and piston moving around as they go from one form to another, giving a sense of the extremely complex machinery and detail that has to be going on for a robotic race capable of changing their shape

i love skids. i love him and his relationship with nautica in the comics was adorable and heartbreaking his placeholder status in G1 was fine for me since not me every character needs to be fleshed out for me to get there toy but i mean cmon hasbro youve been deep diving since the prime wars and this guy is still at the bottom of the barrel. and besides if he's not mrketable to the avarage fan then market it to the comic nerds like i and others and please let my boy get his comeback

16:48 Actually it was the boost from Skids's death that gave Megatron the strength required to access his antimatter powers. Plus while Megatron did save the day, it was his buffed up crewmates who took down like 95% of the enemy forces. So not entirely useless death.
