Earlier this month, we got our first look at an upcoming repaint of Generations Skids. The repaint was similar in style and color to a classic Diaclone repaint of the mold that became Generation 1 Skids. Now, thanks to the New Transformers Archive, we have even more new pics.
In the new images, you can see that the vehicle mode paint apps are different than the previous photos. There are some other paint changes and additions as well. The figure is sporting a wildly different paint scheme on the head sculpt as well as some Decepticon symbols.
UPDATE:
Some members feel this may be a custom. So, grain of salt and all that fun stuff.
You can check out the new images after the jump.

First is either legit or a KO the second is a definite custom
WhiteMocha
Agreed. First one looks legit, later ones do not.
Autovolt 127
Is that a Decepticon logo? It looks like a sticker.
Yeah I'm with everyone this is a custom.
megatroptimus
Clearly handpainted on the new pictures.

First image is a toy. You can see the plastic texture.

These two new images are customs. Look at the surface texture and the joints where the paint is rubbing off, revealing plastic underneath.

Obsidian X
A tip for remembering: Runabout has the letter B in it for the color black.
Hot Shot.
Obvious custom. The entire figure is painted.

Definitely a custom in post 109. You can see the purple in the elbows, which leads me to believe it started as AoE Rollbar.
Composite Ghost
lol a custom just got frontpaged. What is this, Hisstank.com?
Autobot Spike
The latest image is a custom. The face is a bit of a tell, but really it's the back wheels. This is a custom from the 2 pack that was done for Age of Extinction.
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I don't think that I am.

So I'm wondering how many of these are going to be customs sold through the KO sellers? I also wonder if this mold has been KO'ed yet. Might explain a rash of customs.
FanimusMaximus
Watch it be SG Skids.
optimusmegas
said it before…i'll say it again….with a con symbol now he looks even more like the decepticon medic from dark cybertron flatline.
i'd so buy it if it is. even if it was just a black skids i'd put a reprolabels symbol on it and make it flatline anyway.

Looks like Runabout to me (or is it runamuk? The black and red one, can never remember) with the red windows and new head. The con symbol also tells me it's Runabout (or Runamuk) to.
SPLIT LIP
That one on the front page is totally a custom. Since when does Hasbro paint their weapons silver? And you can see blue in the joints.
Timothy.R
this photo definitely looks like a custom.. i don't think hasbro would use stickers for the decepticon symbols for a figure like this. i could be wrong, but it was the first thing i noticed.
Murasame
That must be a custom. I wish my package would have arrived already.
BScorpinok75
Head deco makes it look similar to somebot-y, but I just can't place it…
Spyne98
Maybe this will be some sort of set that includes that Black Arcee that was posted yesterday…
rosewater
Is that even the same toy we saw in the previous pics? The paint is way different in both modes.
