Transformers Masterpiece Skids Gray Prototype Images

All 3 Honda City MP’s preordered plus Starscream on Thursday and Nightbird next year. Lots of G1 goodness coming up. Thundercracker is already on preorder for $220, so I’m good through March.

Not really a surprise but Amazon jp list this and Reboost as being made in Vietnam. Discounting Skywarp the next 4 releases will be made in Vietnam(5 if Cliffjumper happens). Hope the China factory they use has their stuff in order as the next brand new mold will likely be made in China.

I can't put my finger on it, but this figure doesn't feel like a typical MP figure to me. Lacks the aesthetics somehow. But glad he's happening for fans of this guy. Such an obscure, forgettable character relative to most others, particularly from that early period of the show and toy line, that it seems like they wouldn't seriously consider this.

My primary experience with this guy was the Alternators figure, which I customized into pretty sweet Ironhide and Ratchet figures.

Hopefully someday they'll still release the toy deco.

I'd love that, Skids toy head was way cooler than the show one.

Kind of off topic but considering it just happened here I'd like if the sight could tell you what post of yours gets deleted due to a quoted post getting deleted.

Cause I barely remember what I posted here a few days ago.

I think that the post with the Skids prototype was deleted. I had quoted it and then I think you quoted me, but also posted a copy of the image from the porotypes thread in this one. The post there was deleted, which deleted mine, which deleted yours. Not sure why, curious if there was a request to remove the picture. I think the Wheeljack prototype picture is gone too. Not questioning anything, though, and if you want you should be able to PM staff to ask if they can give you details.

Premature release?

Btw, Is Skid's release near?

Same happens with MP55, it comes up in that search but not on the item url

That is super cute that his boot opens up to store his weapons.

I love the car mode. I wish I liked things about the bot mode, because I'd love to get this. But for now I don't particularly. The deep knee bends are nice, and the deep bend at the thigh, but it doesn't look like there's ab crunch, and the elbows can't bend that deep. Cool that the head is on a ball joint, I guess. It reminds me of modern Diaclone articulation.

Maybe somehow Crosscut will wear the mould better. I'm sure they're saving the scooter for one of the repaints.

Crosscut will have his own unique head-sculpt, and probably the scooter. I wonder if they'll go as far to remould the thighs for Crosscut too:

Crosscut might finally increase the value of MP-26 (in canon Road Rage is Crosscut's bodyguard, and he's an intergalactic ambassador)

What other colour will they pick, I wonder, for the version with the toy-accurate Skids head. Black would be pretty slick. Somehow I doubt they'll do all four colours (although if they did the red one they could include a red Skids head and a blue Crosscut head, and stickers for the doors – two in one!)

They remolded the head and the pelvis for Crosscut.

100% going to happen. If they did Crosscut and Skids first a lot of people would consider their "Skids mold" finished in their collections. Now people will buy Reboost because they want to see what another repaint will be like, and they'll want that Motocampo. Then in a few months they'll reveal Crosscut. And Everyone will definitely want that. Putting Reboost before Crosscut guarantees more sales of both Reboost and Crosscut in the long run I feel. Also Crosscut is already mentioned in Roadrage's MP Extended Bio.

The real question is will we get a black Skids? Black Ironhide has me nervous about that improbability.

It's a few months later and what just happened!?  

Seeing the door is solid makes you wonder why they made the door and side mirror clear plastic. I'm guessing even though it was clear they used a different composition of plastic in those parts. Kind of dismisses the"clear plastic breaks easy" when they purposely used them on hinges.
