once i start seeing the toys in stores the first 2 im getting is the twins. they are pretty awesome looking. hasbro seemed to do a good job on the robot modes.
I like the face. Makes him unique. Same with his twin brother. I actually think these two will be good fighters because there always trying to impress the most important autobots. GOD I CANT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!
instead of the chest doing the herp a derp thing I found a way to keep it fixed with all the bumper and headlights looking cool. its very simple push the top grill in (the one with the chevy logo on it) then push up the bottem flap (the one that is shown folded down here) up not down so the armor or chest plates will stay that way.
I got a hftd tuner skids, the lower joint after the knee bend joint is too damned loose. Can you suggest a way to make it more secure. Tried adjusting the screw but no go, the problem is that it needs to to that way in order to transform. I'm open to suggestions. Great reviews by the way.
He''s one of my most hated Transformers in my collection next to ROTF Mixmaster, that backpack is a pain and it's not hard to scared of him breaking due to the badly considered transformation. It's good that the Human Alliance version of him at least is better.
What would be cool is if they incorporated the chevy logo button into the transformation and have the button lock back leaving the panels stuck outward (but also get rid of the head part so that he won't always look down)
If everybody got green teeth, then what's the best paint to use on plastic and the best brush(Anybody answer. An answer from Peaugh would be awesome though)?
thankyou for the detail view of the back pack. for a long time my skids looked like he had a massive hunch back. I didnt know about the port at the base of his back. Awesome!
I was going to start my ROFT collection with HA Bumblebee, after seeing the movie, I better get the twins first, I bet every kid in the country will snatch them up.
Putting him back into car mode is a nightmare. The front windshield piece is ridiculous hard to move back into place. Plus, the feet are too small and leg joints too loose. I can't stand mine up unless I rotate the leg kibble to give him additional support.
mudflap's head is skids' head just upside down because skids has the "hair" and his ear things pointing upward and mudflap jas his ears down and instead of hair on his head he has a beard, so if you flip mudflaps head up side down it would look like skids' head
I bought this guy today but ended up returning him. He wasn't a bad figure of anything but the unpainted teeth and the legs made me return him, I'll probably wait for the human alliance Skids instead, plus I get a Megan Fox too!
not sure about skids and mudflap, but the motorbike trio is an obvious one after watching peaugh's review of chromia. seen jetfire and optimus, it rocks!!!!!
Wait for the Human Alliance one because it actually comes with Meagan Fox and there are seats and it is wayyy more detailed. Look it up on Google. Look for Skids Human Alliance!
The Autobots really need to have a badass like Grimlock (the hard bastard comicbook/techspec Grimlock) and have him transform into a tank. Ironhide and Sideswipe seem to be the only real butt-kickers in the Autobot ranks.
Look, Bay didn't think this movie up, he didn't make the screenplay or design the characters. The director only tells people how to shoot the scene and tells actors how to act.
i dont mind skid's face so much as i do MFs, HE LOOKS LIKE A DEPRESED GREMLIN lol if these guys are just for comic relief, which i bet they are, they should get larry the cable guy and jeff dunham (bubba J voice) to do these guys voices, that would be HILARIOUS and would make the movie and epic EPIC win, seeing as how its already and epic win
That is actually a really great figure! I don't mind this head as much but Mudflaps head is GAY! I would even go as far to say that this is the ROTF equivalent to the 07 movie bumblebee. Even more than Sideswipe.

Good old days !
I agree...
I got skids today - thanks for the help Peaugh, I found him lil bit hard to transform but I think he is a good figure
this review helped me alot I always had his backpack messed up so he looked down but know he stands up straight thanks!
Thank you sooo much! after 11 years i finally got the back pack right!!!! great video
Glad I could help!

Love this figure so much!!!
Love the twins

do they sell it in toys r us and do u have any idea if they sell mudflap too
are all these toys out already? i tried buying them online but it says they're arriving only in late may..
Great review! I agree 100%, both modes look great except for the head.
What would be cool is if they incorporated the chevy logo button into the transformation and have the button lock back leaving the panels stuck outward (but also get rid of the head part so that he won't always look down)
I also like the body of the figure. It's nice. Not too alienish. Not so much the head, but it's growin' on me though...great review, peaugh!
If everybody got green teeth, then what's the best paint to use on plastic and the best brush(Anybody answer. An answer from Peaugh would be awesome though)?
when i first transformed him i was so scared of braking the backpak part lol but i see its normal for that piece to be hard to snap
i narrowed it down to skids,mudflap,breakway,knockout and samurai prowl so which is the top 3
Got mine today from Wal-Mart, and out of a sea of at least 100 deluxes, there was only one Skids.
Mine has green (unpainted) teeth by the way.
thankyou for the detail view of the back pack. for a long time my skids looked like he had a massive hunch back.
I didnt know about the port at the base of his back.
Awesome!
My theory is that they are siamese twins that split asa protoform so thats why one has a dominate right side and the other left.
none are out in ny yet. they will be on friday.
um peaugh i need your help im thinking buying skids and mudflup but should i get leader prime
and voyger the fallen
where doyou keep on getting rotf toys on ebay or something like that? Anyways get rotf mixmaster soon and rampage i really want to see them by you
how come "Hotshot" wasn't in this movie? or are Hotshot and BumbleBee on in the same?
m planing getting the twins but should i get leader optimus and voyger megatron
I was going to start my ROFT collection with HA Bumblebee, after seeing the movie, I better get the twins first, I bet every kid in the country will snatch them up.
where do you get all of the rotf toys?
hey when are you going to do mudflap tell me!
I got skids yesterday he rocks
im not getting why he and his brother have a big arm, are they supposed to join together?
thanks Man i just got this figure and i was having trouble with the backpack☺
Putting him back into car mode is a nightmare. The front windshield piece is ridiculous hard to move back into place. Plus, the feet are too small and leg joints too loose. I can't stand mine up unless I rotate the leg kibble to give him additional support.
mudflap's head is skids' head just upside down because skids has the "hair" and his ear things pointing upward and mudflap jas his ears down and instead of hair on his head he has a beard, so if you flip mudflaps head up side down it would look like skids' head
do you live in new york?
can't wait to see these 2 in action goin "HERPE DERPE!! or somtin, lol!
I wonder what Mudflap´s and Skids´ roles will be in the movie. Comic relief?
I bought this guy today but ended up returning him.
He wasn't a bad figure of anything but the unpainted teeth and the legs made me return him, I'll probably wait for the human alliance Skids instead, plus I get a Megan Fox too!
And arcee !
not sure about skids and mudflap, but the motorbike trio is an obvious one after watching peaugh's review of chromia. seen jetfire and optimus, it rocks!!!!!
this skids is nice. i have him. but i acn't wait for the HA skids.
what part?
I got mine yesterday and I think I did something wrong because he keeps looking down
I think I'll pass this one and get the Human alliance one because it has a launching missile a scout arcee and a mikaela which rides the arcee.
rumors are going around that hasbro are going to make another skids and mudflap but voyager form to show that ice cream van mode.
Wait for the Human Alliance one because it actually comes with Meagan Fox and there are seats and it is wayyy more detailed. Look it up on Google. Look for Skids Human Alliance!
Just got mine today. I haven't transformed him yet but can see his teeth aren't painted. :(
i would definately recomend skids over mudflap cause skids holds together way better but they are twins so you haf to get them to geth3r :3
Lockdown brought me here......again.
it's upgrade time
-skids 2009 movie
The Autobots really need to have a badass like Grimlock (the hard bastard comicbook/techspec Grimlock) and have him transform into a tank.
Ironhide and Sideswipe seem to be the only real butt-kickers in the Autobot ranks.
i like the head it looks like a little goblin or something, specially since he is green..
Look, Bay didn't think this movie up, he didn't make the screenplay or design the characters. The director only tells people how to shoot the scene and tells actors how to act.
herp?
i dont think it would matter, as long as theyre in it
Who remembers watching these vidoes as a kid because the directions on to transform them to robot mode was so confusing? Lol
i was gonna buy 1 of these on ebay but it cost £30 while normally they would cost £12
Sideswipe has a hot Human Alliance Set too.
I can't even think of a Transformer with painted hubcaps.
It sounded like he said "Ith upgrade time!"
LOL
sweet!
good choice
he also goes by MC PADDINGTON
for me skids face looks like a gremlin with an eye patch
Huurr Duuur Derrpp Derrp
Classic :D
nice i love skids!
sales tax??
i like his head it looks funny
yea, i only found out it was him a few days ago...
my Skids' teeth came painted. there were 2. one came painted and one wasn't. i just happened 2 pick up the painted one. some people's came painted.
This is a car I would drive. I like compacts
man its not for bothering but please do the henkei hot shot
The twins should combine, the fists would look proportional.
You know, the gremlins movie from the 80's.
Anybody hear about the upcoming Deluxe class Ratchet?
herb a durb hhee hee
Great review. He looks pretty good. I hate that head thow. I think I am going to change the head when I get him, cuz that thing is ugly.
I'm probably the only person in the world who likes his head.
They're going with the 4 door spark instead. Bummer.
I saw this toy at Target today
i dont mind skid's face so much as i do MFs, HE LOOKS LIKE A DEPRESED GREMLIN lol if these guys are just for comic relief, which i bet they are, they should get larry the cable guy and jeff dunham (bubba J voice) to do these guys voices, that would be HILARIOUS and would make the movie and epic EPIC win, seeing as how its already and epic win
i agree unfortunately that's the first thing i thought of haha
ow man you shot me in the face!!!!
the groove is the 4 door and the spark doesnt exist
"Herp a derp"
How original.
Im not too sure about my skids he looks like hes leaning forward. he made me extremely frustrated!
holy crap i had a freaking hard time at 3:00 i didnt know your supposed to force it XD
I'm getting him and Mudflap after I buy Sideswipe.
I hate to agree but yeah their heads looks very weird it is like disfigured or got mauld by a bear
Just got him today!
Megatron left arm is big
Mudflap right arm is big
Skids left arm is big ....
Who's next ??
He's a gremlin transformer.
It's like a tranformer nerd but this nerd coul kick your ass with that punch jaja
That is actually a really great figure!
I don't mind this head as much but Mudflaps head is GAY!
I would even go as far to say that this is the ROTF equivalent to the 07 movie bumblebee. Even more than Sideswipe.
hurp?
its johnny 5 gone wild
other than the teeth, the fig is cool
HUUUURRRRR DURRR DERPDERP
It's upgrade time
cuz the bad ones always kick ass
