    It's recently been made available to buy in the UK, it's called a Honda "E". Definitely looks more like a City than the actual modern City car.

    Nice one! I do think Loopaza Mega Store will probably put up their scans soon, so your book might arrive late to get the scoop, but if you're a Skids fan it'll be a nice memento to keep! :thumb

    Hey now, i'm not trying to prove anything here! I'm just going by the facts! :lol 

    I still gotta get a bottle of Mad Dog, haha. Though trust me, i'm more than willing to just open it in a frenzy and try a wing doused in it. BWW Blazin' Sauce is still the hottest i've ever delved into. Greene Turtle's Blazin' is up there, but not on the same level. TGI's is hot but compared to BWW's, it's a fucking cakewalk.

    If there's one i'm legit scared of...

    [​IMG]

    A legit fucking plutonium-infused pepper extract. :ev: 

    Yeah, a periodic table element scares me more than a bullet attached to a sauce bottle?

    upload_2021-1-31_12-6-24.png

    Something's up here, hahaha.

    (If anyone's following along, for reference, Tabasco is at about 4000 Scovilles, and Frank's Red Hot Original puts 450 Scovilles worth of shit on everything.)

    Hot Ones is a legendary show, my man. Though honestly I think it peaked with Joey Diaz. One of if not my all-time favorite comedians, who I kinda credit for me becoming more of a wing connoisseur over time, I didn't quote him earlier for any old reason. The man legit only eats wings with blue cheese. If a restaurant offers ranch with wings by default, he leaves.

    Was such a legendary moment on Joe Rogan that one guy turned it into a full fucking 2 minute animation.



    I'm the same fucking way, though i'm a bit more stringent. It's gotta either be Ken's or Marie's brand Blue Cheese, I only strive for the best, haha.

    Flavor-wise, I can tell you that Blazin' kinda had something but the heat does really overshadow it.

    You're a fucking legend. Can't wait!

    Really is baffling why they didn't. For all we know they could have just called it the "City e" if they wanted to.

    What's more baffling is why there wasn't an American-spec that made it overseas, haha.

    He looks pretty good filled in, I know all the detailing,painted over or not is going to rub some people the wrong way.

    This looks awesome. Very excited to see more, hoping for a prototype reveal during WonFes.

    Haven't been this excited for a G1 MP since... Star Saber maybe?

    Phase EX? Is this the hybrid line?

    Erm, just noticed the Phase 05 and 06, so probably not. But why EX?

    The phase EX, 05, 06 blabla thing is just a magazine editing bit they do. Nothing to do with transformers or the MP line at all

    I think the Masterpiece moment will be the arm transformation, the rest looks like the Datsun level of complexity. That's not a complaint, I like the Datsun trio in their plus release form.

    Painted over, Skids might not look too "busy", but now I do think that there is too much surface detailing from his middle down to his feet for him to match the more recent released Masterpieces. Hopefully we'll get some (painted) prototype photos soon.

    The accompanying text specifically calls out its the Honda City's 40th anniversary this year btw, so y'all were right on the money with that being a part of the reason for this release.

    I really like the look of this Skids MP. With dark blue paint, the details won't be as pronounced but it is cool either way to me.

    Kind of reminds you of when we saw Hot Rod's silhouette and then the double reveal of him and Shockwave a few weeks later, except this time it will probably be a BW revealed.:( 

    Excited to see his altmode as that will undoubtedly be his big selling point. Looks like they "animed" him up, he looks a lot more imposing than what I'm use to a Skids looking
