Im on the fence about these two. i like the G1 mould, loved the ROTF characters but i feel they cost under $100. The drone is a nice touch though

Screech was in ROTF??Originally Posted by Linthart
I think I'll pass on these... I too love the mould, but those colours are so garish and cheap-looking that they really put me off (especially for that price).

Linthart: The drone was part of the original Diaclone mould for the Car Robot Honda City R. It's actually a different mould from Skids (the head and chest/bonnet are different) and you can read about the relevance of that mould to Skidshere.
I don't mind the colours on Screech, but Quantum Operative Skids looks awful. I generally dislike seeing movie Transformers in G1 colours and G1 Transformers in movie colours. It seldomly works well.
On the other hand this is a nice opportunity for anyone who missed out on Crosscut to now own that mould (and it is a nice mould), although I much prefer the original Diaclone colours used with Crosscut. The only downside is that it's a double set so you have to get that awful green Skids in order to get Screech. :/
Reminds me of what they did with movie coloured G1 Ratchet and Protect Ironhide; I wanted Protect Ironhide not because he was in movie black, but because black was Ironhide's original Diaclone colour. Didn't care for movie green Ratchet, but I wanted Protect Ironhide badly enough that I got both.

I have to second the feelings said by Gok also, i really like Screech aka Mudflap, but Skids doesnt translate as well onto the G1 mold in recolour

The grey paint looks a little cheap, but I'm looking forward to getting these. Hopefully my preorder will come through soon.

Was that just for the toys? Or the toys and the book?They are so awesome. Mine are on their way. $130US shipped.
I preordered mine from TFsource, still waiting to hear that they shipped, and paid more $US than Sky Shadow (but it included the book as well).
