    Sweet Jesus, finally! But for the love of god, @ibot please get the car model model right!

    Skids is a Honda City Turbo

    NOT the City Turbo II/ Bulldog. As the render suggests.

    The difference are subtle but important, such as the flared fenders. There's only a render tease for now, so PLENTY of time to correct the car model hopefully. Also, please remember, he is a tiny hatchback car, and not a minivan.

    That's my point. No company is flawless.....not that anyone has actually said that about anything here of course.

    That being said Glider was shite so I guess this will be too, makes perfect sense! I suggest we wait to see how it actually is before condemning it based on some figures made years ago whilst ignoring more recent releases. If you're dead set against xtb then I'm sure sitting tight and waiting to see more versions won't harm either.

    Win/win for everyone.

    Pretty excited they're doing this, but I really wish they'd hurry up and put out some of the other characters they've teased in the past first before adding more to the pile.

    I was told it is not the Bulldog, more leaning to the Honda City Turbo.

    Hmm...well, that render posted is 100% Bulldog, with the flared fenders and larger, centered hood bump.

    Regardless, "leaning towards" still isn't good enough for me:) . Flared fenders is a no buy for me

    Glad you guys are getting your G1 Skids finally :) 

    Echoing some others here, I am not interested in his G1-self, but awesome to feel this level of excitement regardless.

    Soon. Can't wait. Hopefully XTB continues the trend of good quality builds.

    I still haven't decided on their Hoist and Trailbreaker yet, though they are tempting.

    You gone for Klaatu?

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, season 2 Autobots really pop. They have such a variety of colours and alts. I think they're my favourite group of characters.
