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.
It seems a little weird that Skids is a release in the vein of the Lamborghini and Datsun moulds, which aren't given over to absolute accuracy to the Flory Dery character models the way later figures are.

But still, Skids or Mudflap haven’t appeared in Studio Series despite 85 releases so someone at Hasbro must really not want to go there.
There have been a few other movieverse characters that have yet to get Studio Series releases, like Jolt, the Fallen, RotF Sideswipe, and DotM Bumblebee. Mirage/Dino only got announced in November, and the figure is due out later this year.
