I love this figure. That paint job is amazing!

I just received my copy of the figure, which I love so far. Skids was always one of my favorite characters from when I was a kid. He got way to little love from the cartoon but at least had a decent story line in the North American comic. He was one of my very favorite transformer toys as a kid and I think x-transbots have done an amazing job bringing him to us. The alt mode is spot on, and other then a small issue with his shoulders, the bot mode is awesome. Thanks for the review, I always enjoy them.

See, now that's how Skids is supposed to look! It's like Diaclone done right.

I like the silver version and I love the car mode but I don't like the robot enough to buy it twice. I barely bought it once.

By the way, if you get the Crosscut repaint/ remold could you show it off with Road Rage if you got her? Or at least Tracks?

I don't remember him having this alt mode. In the US-comics, he was a minivan.

Great show @benscollectables! I wonder why would fans would say the headsculpt is the weakest point when the figure is made to look like the cartoon (original 1980s we grew up with) & it does exactly that. I like him its a spitting image of 1985 animated Skids! Big boots head and all!

Never seen an MP10 with a Chrome mouth guard before! Neither the Takara nor Hasbro have that, so I wonder if it’s a 4th party version?

His alt mode was designed after a Honda City Turbo, which came with a Honda Motocompo folding trunk bike. These vehicles were not found in North America and I believe sort of the predecessor of the Smart car.

@@Loveportorchard , the original Skids toy and Diaclone were based on a Honda City Turbo. The Diaclone came with a toy version of the Honda Motocompo folding trunk bike that came with the original vehicle. It was found in some European and Asian countries in the '80's. It was sort of the predecessor to the Smart car. Funny little vehicle.
It's not a Honda City Turbo! It should be, but XTB changed the bonnet, so it's just a Honda City now. I returned mine. Every time I looked at it I just saw a flat bonnet and was thinking "why did they change it?"
@Andulvar6 жыл бұрын
Probably because the Diaclone toy was a Honda City R which was used for Crosscut. There's very little difference between them. This figure was originally released in 1982 as well (Diaclone one that is). If you want to know what was changed between the two, it was just the head and the original toy was a City E.

This man is a scammer. I work for a family owned online toy store. We made a deal with him and we sent him some products, then after receiving the products he just vanished. Very bad practice of this man. He is not even close to the good person he seems to be in his videos.
