Also retooled heads. And don't forget that these repaints are all based on original Diaclone, with Skids obviously taking cues from the Floro Dery model for the head.Originally Posted by Autocon
Also don't forget that the face-plated head version was nearly used as Skids; I don't know which colour version it would've been, but we see it in Skids' original instruction booklet, as well as how he was sometimes drawn in the Marvel Comics.
The alternate Marvel head for Skids was used on Skids' blue body, which is inaccurate to any of the Diaclone toys. But most likely this is because the artists used Skids' black and white instructions but applied the toy's final colours.
And of course, back in 2002 Takara reissued the silver version of the Diaclone Honda City Robo and officially introduced the mould into the Transformers as a new character known as Crosscut (no relation to G1 Crosscut), which was exclusively available with Road Rage (you had to pre-order both) from e-Hobby.

It kind of amuses me that Griffin managed to do the same pose in all photos for the last 20 years

If you're talking about the OzComicCon pose, it's because I told him to pose that way. And I also tried to emulate my pose from 2003 too.dirge wasn't there to obscure my right arm, but the prize wheel did! I did see excelonzero at OzComicCon but he wasn't at the Hasbro booth when we took this photo.
Don't know if griffin's ever done that pose otherwise. <shrugs>
