    I am figuring you meant the toy Skids head, like what XTB's Taiho has, not the Skids toon head.

    The other 2 Diaclone Honda City Turbo's had the same exact head as the Diaclone/G1 Skids toy. So I assume if they were to do the other 2 Honda City Turbo releases they would use the MP-53 Skids Head

    I dunno what a XTB Taiho is, I don't do third party

    Taiho was a non-TF reference, but used a head based more on the Skids toy rather than the Sunbow head.

    For my own 2 cents, if they do a toy deco Skids or any of the other Skids-colors like Burnout, etc, I'd like a more toy-styled head, like the way Loud Pedal and Cordon got more toyish heads.

    Is this available anywhere? I'm beginning to think maybe Baba forgot to order it, or something!

    People who ordered this from Hasbro Pulse are now being charged. Anybody who missed him, Pulse will likely have him in stock soon.

    Got him today from Hasbro Pulse. He's great, but my rear driver side wheel doesn't spin. Was it pinned improperly, or does anyone have any tips to get it going? I don't want to return/exchange, but for my money I need my carbots to roll!

    EDIT: Looks like it's misassembled. They used one of his front wheels (different mold, has slot for arm tab) on the back so I'm guessing that's why it won't spin. Bummer
