Yes!!! Happy new year to me! My favourite 80s compact car and my first Diaclone toy. Curiously, the design reminds me more of early MP and Binaltech than recent G1 MPs. Can someone do a proper translation of the Japanese? Google Translate mentions 'hybrid version of MP', and i want to know what that means. Imagine if you could turn this G1-toy-looking MP into an animation-accurate version by adding panels and pieces that can stay on during transformation, like the MP BW Megatron. That would be nice. In which case, fans who are adamant about MP animation accuracy can be happy too since that wouldn't count as 'cheating' or parts-forming.

Won't grab Skids, but keen for Crosscut. Happy for Dirge and those who have been wanting it for some time now.
Looking to buy lucky draw Armada Prime and Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack.

About 2 years too late HasTak. My 3P Skids does me fine.

I named my car after Skids, so I'll probably grab either him or Crosscut (or both)
I'll update this when I'm needing help finding particular figures

Considering the transformation would be pretty simple (almost a shell-former by today's standards), I imagine that this one hadn't been done yet because it wasn't sporty enough or an iconic enough character (probably the least amount of screen/comic time of the second year Autobot cars).
The artwork looks like they might be aiming more for a toy-homaged MP toy like the earlier MP toys... rather than cartoon-homaged MP toy like more recently, which probably would have been more difficult to design than a toy-homage figure.
A translation from tfw...
\ Masterpiece Skids / There are several new MP products scheduled to be released this year, one of which is “Skids”. With instinctive deformation and a wide range of movement, it is a new work that will be a hybrid version of MP these days! We will update the information from time to time so please look forward to it!
