Transformers Toys Generations Legacy Deluxe Autobot Skids review

 

Hiya folks. Finally finished my first review on Transformers Legacy Skids. How does he fare? Let's find out and let's get started!

Boxing

Well, lot of you folks know by now that the clear plastic is now removed. I won't get into details on this so its easy for people to just touch the upper torso of the figure and get a grasp of how it feels. 

*5/12 update

Got this on my phone. I didn't realize their stats are now done with a QR code online. Skids ain't the muscle but he is decent in everything else. Upon getting here, you see Skids perform his box art pose but with breathing animation along with some yellow spark effects.

I like to get this off my chest that because the clear plastic on the box is no longer there, there was dust on my figure. Not only that, there was even a hair stuck to one of his wheels. Ok, satisfied? When you play with Skids, he feels light as Hastak seems to be using loads of cheaper and lighter plastic these days. But his joints especially his legs are very tight. And because of this he feels heavy in some ways. It's the best way I could explain this. Otherwise, Skids is a delightful figure. He comes with 3 weapons technically, though his blue energon axe is supposedly a battle effect but cmon, its a blue axe! His twin blaster is a tight fit as most internet complaints have sufficed. So be careful on this part. Because he has a 5mm port on his forearms you can modify his weapon placement to a stylish degree. Use your imagination here on how you want to form his weapons. Very posable figure to say the least. 

Alt mode

Pretty easy transformation. Plays nicely once you get him into this form. The drawback here is that some parts of the windshield/front hood area has issues snapping in from time to time; another internet complaint that has been surfacing as well. Otherwise, have fun with the 1984 Honda city turbo.

Conclusion

I don't know this character too much due to the fact he only appeared in a shoestring of episodes back in 84/85. But this guy's figure is done well. Skids plays very beautifully and he looks almost identical to his g1 toy and character. My first figure of the Legacy line and it is starting out promising. Despite not appearing much in the show, he is here for your completion purposes. Ciao.
