I?ve got no love for Skids but would have considered it if it resembled the toon. As it stands I?m having a hard time justifying a purchase.

Tell me what was your favourite Skids moment in the cartoon? :DQuote:

Really liking this, more appealing than any new MP I've seen in a very long time. Looking forward to seeing the colour pics.
When he got crunched by Blitzwing. ;)Quote:

For those who collected Japanese toy cars in the 80s, the Honda City was extremely popular in Japan. No mention of the Motocompo scooter in the article AFAIK, even though you can see that the trunk area of the car is spacious. I appreciate that this space is filled-in in the bot mode's lower back leg.
I want an animation-accurate MP Skids too so that we have something that fits in with the rest of the MP line. However, given how iconic Honda City is in Japan, and how it's also my favourite subcompact car, i'm also happy we have this 'hybrid' design MP.Quote:

Images are out now. Looks good to me
Also being released is a red version called Reboost (based on another Diaclone colour scheme and apparently comes with a scooter)
As others have pointed out the colour scheme on Reboost makes him look like Alternity Convoy.
Ooooh, I want the one with the scooter.
