    Oh, yeah, definitely. I know it's no guarantee, at all. This is merely a prediction/speculation. :) 

    I actually think an Electro repaint is still a decent possibility for this mold, even if a Botcon version is in the wings. It wouldn't be the first time Botcon and Hasbro released different versions of the same character, though there'd likely be a time gap.

    In the meantime this looks like a nice figure in its own right, as Orion.

    1. New classics toy is revealed
    2. Somebody will suggest it be retooled into Skids, no matter who the original character is or what the alt-mode is
    3. ???
    4. Profit!!

    It never fails...

    That axe looks pretty sweet in translucent purple.

    My biggest complaint is that the flap jus sits there behind his head, but it looks to be a pretty decent mold.

    I am told I buy too many Optimus Primes. This time I can say "But it's not Optimus Prime, it's Orion Pax!"

    In these test-shot colours, you could actually get a reasonable Kup out of this mold as it is. :)

    Hasbro should troll us and release Kickback or one of the Predacons as Skids.

    Also, boo on the one set of pinned wheels and one set of clip wheels. The only thing worse than a full set of clip wheels is a half set of clip wheels. :thumbdown

    Looks nicer than I thought. Have the wave preordered but wasn't sure if I'd open it. Seems I might.

    If I'm to take "original" as 1984-1985, then no. Gears, and the other Dinobots are still waiting for official updated toys, along with Skids.

    Natch, I always forget the dinobots. But yes, that's what I meant. Poor Skids & Gears!

    Hello E Rodimus. :3

    Also, they should do a line of test shot colored figures. G2 colors FTW.
