About this product

Product Information

The Hasbro Transformers Generations Skids figure was released in 2013, eight years after the release of the First Generation figure. This action figure marks the first time Skids is based on his appearance in the "More Than Meets the Eye" IDW comic book. If you've never read this comic, a copy is packaged with the figure as an accessory. "More Than Meets the Eye #22" stars Skids along with other characters such as Ultra Magnus. This toy is 5.5 inches in height and is suitable for children ages seven and up. Adults will also love this figure thanks to its high-quality paint and sculpted detail. In robot mode, Skids has over 15 points of articulation, many of them on ball joints. Everything from his wrists to his feet is fully articulated. This articulation lets you pose him in a variety of poses. For example, you can pose this Autobot looking skyward at some Decepticon jets. You can pose him crouched behind a rock, hiding from his pursuers. It's even possible to balance this toy on one foot in a kicking pose. The IDW deluxe Skids is a walking armory, featuring two rocket launchers and more than four guns. One of his guns is the nudge gun, taken from the character's comic appearance. The other is an update of the liquid nitrogen rifle that has always been closely associated with the Skids character. If you need more firepower, you can combine these two guns to form a high-powered rifle in another powerful transformation. The Generations Skids product takes 19 steps to transform from robot to car. Hasbro gives the product an Intermediate rating in transformation difficulty. Packaged with the product is a set of black and white instructions. Each step in these instructions is packed full of detail, showing you exactly which panels you need to manipulate. The sequential steps show you the best way to transform this product from robot to vehicle for great Transformers action. The Generations version of this character transforms into a futuristic hatchback car. This car features working wheels, letting you roll it across any surface. Every panel on the car lines up perfectly; there are no gaps or empty spots in this form. The character's humanoid body parts are perfectly hidden when he is in car form. In vehicle mode, all of Skids' weapons attach to the car, either on the side of the car or underneath. This Transformers product features a classic paint color scheme reflecting Skids' distinctive characteristics. The action figure features a blue paint scheme with a red stripe and red accents around the body. In addition, this Transformers character figure features additional paint detail on the face, wheel rims, and grill.
