    Skids looks very nice! Guess maybe I may get this over the Hasbro versions especially if they fix the issues the Hasbro toy had.

    The figure from the knees up looks decent, but the lower legs bug me, never liked those.

    Finally! Looks fantastic, I can't wait for it, I love updating the Lost Light shelves with more accurate versions.

    So then, now we have Legends Skids, Cloud Rodimus' deco, Legends Swerves coming with the "My First Blaster", Legends Magnus' Magnus Armor deco, Legends Windblade, Takara Generations Trailbreaker and Megatron(us), the entirety of Deadlock and Wandering Roller... Can we finally put the "Takara doesn't pay attention to IDW and doesn't try to make IDW figures" argument to rest?

    Might buy it to replace my Hasbro one. Looks more accurate to both the comic and the G1 toy.

    i see what they're trying to do here but that pink is too bright...not a fan of how that looks one bit.

    the lights on the top of the missle pods are a nice touch though

    Looks great!

    Shame I've long since repainted my Hasbro version to pretty much this exactly.

    Wow, that's a great looking deco! I actually missed Skids when he first came out so might as well get on board with the legends release. I got the mold as Crosscut and while it's not perfect, I think it's a fun toy and I could really stand to have it as the character I'm a bigger fan of.

    Yuck. All those pink glow lines look terrible, I never liked how the comics picked up that aesthetic from the WFC/FOC games, it just cuts up the silhouette and makes him look super busy.

    I've got Hasbro's version anyway, so I'm good with that. :)
