:&#039;&#039;Leapers are  Decepticon drones from the [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Leaper foc.jpg|thumb|right|350px|En garde mon capitan. You now face ze Leapair!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Leapers&#039;&#039;&#039; are large, [[Decepticon]] brutes that jump around a lot and can only be defeated by being attacked from the back.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORmCBslpl0M&amp;amp;feature=relmfu&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] doesn&#039;t like them that much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Games ==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fall of Cybertron===&lt;br /&gt;
The large and intimidating Leapers act as heavy melee troops in the Decepticon ranks. Although normally rather slow-moving, they can generate great bursts of speed for short periods of time, allowing them to deliver vicious charging attacks. In open-roofed areas, they can also live up to their names by jumping high into the air, creating a large, powerful shockwave on impact with the ground. They were mostly seen during the very late part of the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The front side of a Leaper is heavily armored, making head-on combat suicidal at best. However, like [[Brute (WFC)|Brutes]], Leapers are vulnerable to attacks from behind, due to the large engines on their backs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] encounters his first Leaper after meeting up with a group of Autobot soldiers on his way to a control center to re-route energon supplies from the [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]] to artillery guns to defend it. The Leaper lands staggering Optimus. He falls on his back as it impales most of the Autobots. He manages to dispatch it quickly by shooting its weak spot.&lt;br /&gt;

{{faction|autobot}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Comettor is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DOTMtoy-Comettor.jpg|right|thumb|400px|I&#039;m a moon buggy.  Honest.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] journeys to [[Earth]]&#039;s [[Moon (moon)|moon]], &#039;&#039;&#039;Comettor&#039;&#039;&#039; is his partner of choice!  The quick and dependable lunar buggy is an expert in navigating the harsh lunar environment, and his high-caliber compressed [[Energon]] cannon clears the battlefield of Decepticon obstacles.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===Dark of the Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; / &#039;&#039;&#039;Includes Deluxe Class Comettor&#039;&#039;&#039; (Walmart exclusive, 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Energon assault cannon&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Comettor is a white and gold [[redeco]] and slight [[retool]] of [[Movie (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;]] [[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]]. Comettor transforms into a [[Sector Seven]] assault buggy of the type seen in the [[Transformers (film)|first live-action movie]], which in turn is a heavily modified Chenowth Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV) with added protective armor. The packaging claims this vehicle mode is a &amp;quot;lunar buggy mode.&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Comettor features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks. The first is a spring-loaded front end, retracting his front wheels into his chest during transformation. The second is a sliding panel on each of his shins that retracts when the tail light/knee caps are moved into place. In robot mode, his cannon can be back-mounted to make an over-shoulder cannon, or held in his hand. He also has wheels on the soles of his feet, which let him roll in robot mode... in theory, at least, since his heel-wheels rub against his legs, keeping them from spinning freely. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Comettor features two new tabs on his arms which better secure the hood of the buggy mode. In addition, Comettor is the only use of the mold to glue in the rear bumper, with [[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]] and [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]] leaving those parts loose in their slots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was included as a &amp;quot;bonus value&amp;quot; to [[Walmart]]&#039;s [[exclusive]] &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#OptimusComettor|Voyager Class Optimus Prime (the one with the sparklies)]].  The pair together cost a few dollars less than a regular Voyager Class toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In [[Australia]], this release was available at [[Kmart]] for a considerably lower price than a regular Voyager Class toy. It was also available as a non-exclusive in Germany, with Comettor &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; highlighted as a &amp;quot;bonus&amp;quot; figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]].&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Crosscut is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Crosscut-Auto-Card.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Want some smallpox blankets?]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobot ambassador to many worlds, &#039;&#039;&#039;Crosscut&#039;&#039;&#039; (クロスカット &#039;&#039;Kurosukatto&#039;&#039;) and his partner/bodyguard [[Road Rage (G1)|Road Rage]] were sent to [[Earth]] on secret orders to work with the human governments on establishing [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] there. He is fluent in over 230 Earth languages and 6300 alien languages. Though he carries a lot of weaponry, it is all defensive in nature, meant to incapacitate rather than kill. In dire emergencies, he can transfer all his data and memories to his scooter-drone [[Clutch (G1)|Clutch]] so his knowledge won&#039;t be lost even if he falls to the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Crosscutbetrayal.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Lives to die.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Crosscut was the navigator of &#039;&#039;[[Sojourner&#039;s Passage]]&#039;&#039;, one of several starships sent out by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] in 2005 to explore the universe and establish recon points. He was especially interested in establishing first contact with undiscovered alien civilizations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weeks later, their ship was hit by an energy pulse fired from the planet [[Akalo|Archa Nine]], and Crosscut was killed when the ship subsequently crashed. {{storylink|Betrayal}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Wings Universe&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Crosscut was a member of the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]]&#039;s [[Recon Team]], working with [[Rest-Q]], [[Delta Seeker]], and their field leader [[Roadfire]]. A former ambassador for Cybertron to other planets, he used his translating skills to compensate for Rest-Q&#039;s hopelessly-incomprehensible dialogues.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;From a set of Elite Guard character descriptions on the Club forums.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the [[Stealth Team]] was exposed to [[Nucleon]], Crosscut interpreted for Rest-Q as he examined the radiation&#039;s effect on their super-structures. His upbeat delivery did little to cover the fact that Rest-Q had no idea when they would regain the ability to transform. {{storylink|A Team Effort}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crosscut was among the Elite Guardsmen seen defending their base from the traitorous [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 5}} His corpse was hurled through a section of the Elite Guard headquarters by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] just as the [[Strike Team]] arrived on the scene. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 6}}&lt;br /&gt;

: Crosscut is a [[retool]] of [[Skids (G1)#Generation 1 2|Skids]], transforming into a Honda City R hatchback with a different head and hood. He also comes with a &amp;quot;scooter&amp;quot; accessory named &amp;quot;Clutch&amp;quot; that fits in his hatchback. As he was a Japanese release, his spring-loaded missile launcher is fully functional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Crosscut was an [[exclusive]] to [[e-HOBBY]], sold only in a set with [[Road Rage (G1)|Road Rage]]. Pre-orders ended on [[July 31]] of 2002, and the toys were sent out in October.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:G1Skids-instructions.jpg|right|180px|thumb|This is not my beautiful skull!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Crosscut and Road Rage are notable for being the first additions to the Generation 1-era cast of characters after the original line ended since the short-lived &#039;&#039;[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]&#039;&#039; series. This also started the general trend toward e-Hobby releases being new characters rather than old characters in new colors.&lt;br /&gt;
* Crosscut&#039;s &amp;quot;new&amp;quot; head and coloration are based on one of the original pre-&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; versions of the &amp;quot;Honda City R&amp;quot; mold. The original version was only available in a &amp;quot;double set&amp;quot; with a blue version of the &amp;quot;4WD Hi-Lux Wrecker&amp;quot; (pre-[[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]]) that was &#039;&#039;also&#039;&#039; only available in that set.&lt;br /&gt;
* There is evidence that this version of the mold was the one originally intended to be released in the original &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; line rather than the &amp;quot;Honda City Turbo&amp;quot; model that would become Skids. The original Skids&#039; instructions have the Crosscut mold&#039;s line-art, and in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel UK comic]], artists [[Dan Reed]] and [[John Stokes]] drew Skids with Crosscut&#039;s head in several panels. It&#039;s possible the Turbo model was chosen because its face was more human-looking (to go along with the generally more humanized faces the characters were given in the cartoon), but this is merely speculation.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Skids is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Skidsg1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Gee, that REALLY looks like his Alternators head, what are the odds?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Skids&#039;&#039;&#039; is a theoretician. This is appropriate, as some would say his existence is merely theoretical; everyone forgets who he is or that he was there. But if they got to know him, they&#039;d learn that he likes to daydream, get built into furniture, and pick up cowboy chicks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A theoretician by trade, he&#039;s also a congenital learner, capable of mastering a whole multitude of new skills almost naturally.  While this would make him suited for almost any task, it makes him a surprisingly skilled warrior and special ops agent as he learns more combat techniques.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===&lt;br /&gt;

{{voiceactor|[[Michael Chain]] (English, &amp;quot;[[Quest for Survival]]&amp;quot;), [[Dan Gilvezan]] (English, &amp;quot;[[Triple Takeover]]&amp;quot;), [[Keiichi Nanba]] (Japanese, &amp;quot;Quest for Survival&amp;quot;), [[Ken Shiroyama]] (Japanese, &amp;quot;Triple Takeover&amp;quot;)|[[Roberto Alexander]] (Latin American)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Skidsanimated.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Hoist, Prime, and Skids ogle Bumblebee&#039;s animation model.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Like many of the Autobots who first appeared in 1985, the exact circumstances behind Skids joining the original group of Earth-based Autobots remain unknown. Skids first appeared as part of a strike force that was sent to stop the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] from ravaging a human farm, only to meet with failure. Apparently injured in the battle, Skids underwent some repairs by [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] upon return to Autobot Headquarters, where he responded incredulously to [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]]&#039;s report that he had retrieved [[robotic insecticide]] from the planet [[Floron III]] to deal with the Insecticon threat. {{storylink|Quest for Survival}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TripleTakeover Skids.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Racing into obscurity.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Skids was part of a team sent to investigate bombs that were raining down on a city from a football stadium (the work of the [[Triple Changer]] [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]). Blitzwing, however, had the stadium surrounded by a massive &amp;quot;Zone Defense&amp;quot; maze built by the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]], and while attempting to traverse it, Skids crashed into [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and was driven over by tank-mode Blitzwing. Skids and the other Autobots&#039; remains were then gathered by [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]], who built a throne for himself out of them. These Autobots were soon rescued and quickly rebuilt, and participated in the crises that ensued as Blitzwing, [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] vied for Decepticon leadership. Following that skirmish, Prowl opined that [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] was the greatest leader in the universe, which prompted himself, Skids, [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] and [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] to form themselves into a throne for Prime; Prime refused to sit, saying that thrones were for Decepticons—he&#039;d rather roll. {{storylink|Triple Takeover}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Japanese cartoon continuity====&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Story of Binaltech&#039;&#039;=====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Binaltech_skids_cardart.jpg|left|220px|thumb|After using up all of his vacation and sick days, Skids returned to work to find that the Transformers cartoon had been cancelled.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Skids was the first of the Binaltech Autobots created simply with the intent of upgrading an existing, healthy Transformer, rather than in the name of repairing one that had been injured. Outfitted with self-repairing nanomechanical antibodies, Skids&#039;s body can, barring heavy damage in battle, theoretically function for thousands of years without maintenance. In both his original and new body, Skids dedicated time to studying the chronal warp on [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]], which gave rise to the Autobot strategy known as &amp;quot;[[Operation: Distant Thunder]]&amp;quot;, a last-ditch scheme should the Decepticons tamper with the fabric of space-time. That horror occurred in [[2004]] when Ravage used the [[Kronosphere]] to alter the timeline, and Skids prepared to initiate the plan and send [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]&#039;s memory data back in time to avert the catastrophe. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (prose)|Darkest Hour}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The data probe was launched, but as the timeline was righting itself a [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] arrived, and manipulated the temporal wave to preserve the Binaltech timeline separate from the original continuity. Possessed by the Spark of the [[Optimus Primal|Protector]], hailing from some future point in time, Nemesis Prime informed Skids and the others that their timeline was destined to produce great warriors capable of safeguarding the entire multiverse, and therefore must continue on its new course. {{storylink|Binal Time}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Henkei! Henkei!&#039;&#039;=====&lt;br /&gt;

When Skids successfully proved the existence of particles able to cross over between dimensions, he put his discovery to work for the forces of good, coating his armor in these &amp;quot;Dimension Slide&amp;quot; particles and endowing himself with the power to move between realities, as well as a snazzy new green paintjob. In this quest to examine anomalies within the multiverse, Skids found he could summon other versions of himself from different dimensions to aid him, but for unknown reasons, one of these alternate versions wound up trapped in Skids&#039;s home dimension, unable to return to his own world. Named &amp;quot;[[Screech (Generations)|Screech]]&amp;quot; (presumably to save all the Autobots a headache), this alternate Skids teamed up with his counterpart, and together, the pair worked as &amp;quot;Quantum Operatives&amp;quot; policing the multiverse while searching for a way to get Screech home. {{storylink|#Toys|Skids&#039;s toy bio}} {{storylink|Screech (Generations)|Screech&#039;s toy bio}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot on the trail of one such multiversal anomaly, Skids and Screech pursued [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]&#039;s ghost across the multiverse to a [[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|parallel dimension]] where he was causing trouble. While the two dimension-hoppers kept the ghost busy with wordplay and pop culture references, the [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] of that world used his illusion casting powers to scare Starscream into fleeing the dimension by projecting an illusion of his greatest fear: [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]! {{storylink|Starscream&#039;s New Body}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Skidsnatives.jpg|right|100px|thumb|We bet you can&#039;t.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the event that the [[Ark (G1)|Ark&#039;s]] mission would require more manpower, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] had several Autobots encode copies of their personalities as light patterns within crystals, including Skids. When a large number of Prime&#039;s troops were then injured during the opening volleys of the war on [[Earth]], Prime arranged for the construction of new bodies, which the personalities were then programmed into, bringing Skids and the others to life &amp;quot;for a second time.&amp;quot; Now in a new body that transformed into a blue van, Skids&#039; first mission was to aid in preventing [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] from stealing sonic energy from a [[Brick Springhorn]] concert, and he immediately took a liking to the music of Earth and the possibilities of what could be learned from interacting with mankind. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] ran out of fuel in the middle of the [[Powder River Basin]] in [[Wyoming]], Optimus Prime took Skids and a few other Autobots to prevent harm to the humans who had discovered him. Unfortunately, these humans (and their military) forced the Autobots into a retreat. {{storylink|I, Robot-Master!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Charleneskids.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Proving once and for all that chicks dig giant robots.]]&lt;br /&gt;
On the way to raid the [[Wyoming base|Decepticon base]], Skids accidentally clipped the car of hot-tempered [[Jake Dalrymple]], who pursued the Autobots on their mission and distracted Skids just enough for [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] to blast him off a cliff. Although Optimus Prime mourned the loss of Skids, neither the Autobot leader nor any other Autobot thought to recover the believed deactivated body of Skids later after their mission had been completed. {{storylink|Command Performances!}} Lying crippled and unable to transform, Skids was shortly discovered by register girl [[Charlene (cowgirl)|Charlene]], who, thinking he was an ordinary van, had him fixed up with the intent of keeping him for herself. Skids was open to the idea at first, preferring a peaceful life to that of a warrior, but after another bout of road rage with Dalrymple, the unearthly stunts he performed left him no option but to reveal his true nature of Charlene. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A somewhat unusual [[Transformer romance|relationship]] ensued between the two, but more trouble soon came Skids&#039;s way in the form of [[Donny Finkleberg]], who was being hunted down by Ravage. Fleeing from the Decepticon with Charlene and Donny, Skids hid out at an abandoned mining town, but yet again, the raging Dalrymple tracked him down and shattered his windshield, knocking him unconscious and into a dream where he died through his refusal to attack Megatron and save Charlene. Reawakening, he engaged Ravage in battle again, finally finding the strength to act, and causing his foe to tumble down a mineshaft. Skids then parted ways with Charlene, having come to the realisation that their two roles in life were too different for their relationship to work out. {{storylink|Showdown!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Skidslimbo.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Oh, hey, remember Skids?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Skids returned to the Ark with Finkleberg, and later embarked on a mission with him to track down a group of missing Autobots who had been captured by the [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team]]. Unfortunately, money still governed Finkleberg&#039;s actions, and he promptly sold out Skids to RAAT&#039;s leader [[Walter Barnett (G1)|Walter Barnett]] when Skids was deactivated for the night. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}} Skids was disassembled for study, but when the Decepticons [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]] appeared on Earth and began defacing landmarks, RAAT operative [[Circuit Breaker]] was forced to enter into a deal with the Autobots to stop them. Skids and the other Autobots&#039; components were combined to form a jury-rigged robot that Circuit Breaker used to stop the [[Battlecharger]]s, but in return for their co-operation, Skids and the Autobots were allowed to go free. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;On the return trip to the Ark, however, Skids was abruptly torn from reality when the future Decepticon [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] traveled back in time from [[2006]], shunting Skids into [[limbo]] to maintain temporal balance.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Fallen Angel}} &#039;&#039;Skids remained in limbo for two years while Galvatron ran amok on Earth, his mind steadily succumbing to the dream-illusions created by the [[Limbo parasite|parasites]] native to the realm.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|While Skids was lost to limbo in the UK comics, no such fate befell him in the American stories. Luckily enough for continuity&#039;s sake, he never did anything important in the US comics again, only showing up in crowd scenes: He attended Optimus Prime&#039;s funeral {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}}, witnessed the arrival of the Spacehikers {{storylink|Spacehikers!}} and watched [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] fight for Autobot leadership on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. He was presumably either offlined during the subsequent Decepticon ambush, {{storylink|Totaled!}} or during [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream&#039;s]] [[Underbase]] powered rampage. {{storylink|Dark Star}} To maintain consistency, the UK printings of these stories either redrew Skids into a different, [[generic]] robot, or erased him from the art entirely.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Skidssurvivors.jpg|left|200px|thumb|And then he stole [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Crosscut]]&#039;s head.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;With Galvatron&#039;s eventual destruction during the [[Time Wars]], Skids was finally returned to Earth, but he had spent too long in Limbo—the limbo-creatures had succeeded in shaping a reality from his dreams, and the nightmarish monsters that he had imagined materialised on Earth with him. Fleeing from the beasts, who desired to merge with Skids so that they might become more powerful, Skids lured them into a nuclear power plant which he had planned to detonate, wiping out the monsters and himself, but the remnants of the Autobot [[Wrecker]]s—joined by [[Catilla (G1)|Catilla]] and [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] of the Decepticon [[Mayhem Attack Squad]]—arrived to aid him, defeating the monsters. Skids joined with this group of Transformers, forming the [[Survivors]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Survivors!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Grimlockwasthatwise.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Hey, who here remembers when I was damaged and shoved into the medbay? No? Well, that makes all of us.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Grimlock traveled to [[Hydrus Four]] to use [[Nucleon]] to revive the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. Returning to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], he also pumped Nucleon into the med bays, reviving Skids and several others, and headed towards [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Grimlock used the Ark as a blunt instrument across [[Unicron]]&#039;s head, forcing Skids and the others to evacuate and join the battle against the Chaos Bringer. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=====Earthforce=====&lt;br /&gt;
{{earthforcefiction}}&lt;br /&gt;
When Carnivac ran off on his own to avenge Catilla&#039;s death, Skids and the other Survivors insisted Springer contact Grimlock and the Earthforce for back-up. Hooked up with these Autobot reinforcements, they stormed the Mayhem Attack Squad&#039;s tropical island base to save their friend. Skids personally confronted [[Octopunch (G1)|Octopunch]] in single combat, holding his own against the murderous Pretender. {{storylink|Where Wolf?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On a later mission for Earthforce, Skids and the Survivors protected an [[oil tanker]] from [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]], while the rest of the Decepticons were trying to distract the Autobots with an all-out assault on their base. Undeterred by the sleight-of-hand, the Survivors caught up with Starscream in the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. Skids used a flying leap by Carnivac as a distraction to catch Starscream with his liquid nitrogen cannon, and then [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] knocked the Decepticon commander into the drink. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}&lt;br /&gt;

====&#039;&#039;Regeneration One&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
{{noterg1}}&lt;br /&gt;
In [[2012]], when Optimus Prime discovered Megatron was still active on Earth, he took a detachment of Autobots, including Skids, to put an end to the tyrant&#039;s menace once and for all. Battling Megatron&#039;s reanimated Decepticon [[zombie]]s as the two leaders clashed, Skids called dibs on taking out [[Overbite (G1)|Overbite]]. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, Skids and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] attended to [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] as he recovered from a [[Scraplet]] infection. He then departed Earth with the other Autobots. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Find Your Fate Junior=== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|In the first book in this series, Skids transforms into a red compact, matching the description of his toy&#039;s Honda City Turbo [[alt-mode]] in one of its [[Diaclone]] color schemes. He is apparently even smaller than Bumblebee}}&lt;br /&gt;
Although Skids had reported the strange electromagnetic readings he&#039;d been getting from [[Dolphin&#039;s Bay]] even before [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] sent [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] to [[Bandit&#039;s Bluff]] to remove the [[cerebro-shell]]s from the rampaging [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], it took [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock&#039;s]] report that evening to prompt Optimus to have Skids investigate it for possible Decepticon activity. Prime chose [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] to accompany him in [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack&#039;s]] [[Star mini-submarine|new mini-submarine]], but wasn&#039;t sure whether to assign [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] to the mission as well, since Skids clearly didn&#039;t want him along.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Prime left Sludge out, Skids celebrated by absentmindedly crashing into [[Mount Lomas]], crumpling his hood and causing Bumblebee to notice a suspicious trail in the woods. If the pair followed it instead of continuing to the bay, they walked into a trap set by [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]] and [[Gravedigger]], who disassembled Bumblebee and Skids to serve as the first components of the [[Autobot Memorial Power Plant]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they continued to Dolphin&#039;s Bay and the sub, Skids traced electromagnetic waves back to some [[black coral]], then hacked into a Decepticon computer and learned of a plot to convert the coral into superfuel. Bumblebee then exited the hatch to break a piece off, triggering an explosion which trapped him in a canyon beneath broken columns of crimson coral. Without underwater gear, Skids had only two options: If he went back to the channel for help, Seaspray used his laser to free Bumblebee, then tried to sail back to the Ark, only to have Starscream blow all three of them up with a cluster bomb. If Skids tried translating some nearby dolphins&#039; language, he succeeded in five minutes, talking the three largest dolphins into moving the broken coral. Skids and Bumblebee brought the black coral and his report back to Optimus Prime, ensuring an Autobot victory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Prime &#039;&#039;did&#039;&#039; include Sludge, Skids and Bumblebee made it to the bay first, then used the sub to track the readings to an underwater cave. Bumblebee entered it, radioed Skids about Operation Black Coral, then failed to reemerge. If Skids chose to return to the Ark for help, two possible endings saw an Autobot assault save Bumblebee and destroy the Decepticons&#039; base. If Skids tried to radio Bumblebee, the sub was promptly hit by a sonic attack from Frenzy, making it go haywire and tear through the bay. Whether Skids tried to stop it by activating the backup systems or shorting the controls out with his electron blaster, he was saved by Sludge, ensuring an Autobot victory in two more endings. {{storylink|Dinobots Strike Back}}&lt;br /&gt;

Skids was among the senior scientists (including [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Quickmix (G1)|Quickmix]], and [[Rad]]) who questioned [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]]&#039;s plan to send out the best of the remaining Autobot science and research members to establish deep-space reconnaissance posts. {{storylink|Betrayal}}&lt;br /&gt;

===Dreamwave &#039;&#039;Generation One&#039;&#039; comics===&lt;br /&gt;
8.2 million years ago, Skids was in the [[Chamber of the Ancients]], observing the ceremony in which [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] was given the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and transformed into [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. Immediately, three Decepticon assassins attacked, and though Skids acted to protect the new Prime, his arm was cut off by [[Umbra]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 1|The War Within #1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skids was repaired and he returned to his post at the [[Decagon]]. While Prime was absent, Skids picked up radar of incoming Decepticon invaders and a transmission from the force&#039;s field commander, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 2|The War Within #2}} Skids manned auto-defenses from inside the Decagon until they and their [[Omega Sentinel (G1)|Omega Sentinel]] units were destroyed. Picking up their personal weaponry, Skids and the other Autobots were all that was left to defend [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], but defend it they did and Shockwave&#039;s forces were driven back. {{storylink|The War Within issue 3|The War Within #3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the Dark Ages, Skids served with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s faction of Autobots. {{storylink|Devastation}} The team got involved in a skirmish with [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and the giant Decepticon jumped onto a building in which Skids was trying to hide, crushing him. He survived though. {{storylink|Revelation (The Dark Ages)|Revelation}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skids was not among the Autobots who traveled to Earth aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], remaining behind on Cybertron as the planet slipped into the deactivated state known as the [[Great Shutdown]]. When Shockwave began reactivating the planet and successfully unified the Autobot and Decepticon factions, Skids was a member of the council of Autobots who served to represent their faction in the alliance. Few of the council members were actually suited for leadership, however, and slowly found themselves giving more and more control to Shockwave. Eventually, the example shown by the Ark&#039;s returning crew and several homegrown Autobot insurgency cells tore the blinders from the council&#039;s optics, and Skids gathered his fellow councilmen in taking to the streets and ousting the Decepticons from power. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}&lt;br /&gt;

===&#039;&#039;G.I. Joe vs. The Transformers&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
During an Autobot peace ceremony on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Skids reported to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] that [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] had yet to find the Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|Joes]] that had gone missing while chasing [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]] Their conversation was then interrupted due to a Decepticon attack. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skids was later stationed on the &#039;&#039;[[Arc II]]&#039;&#039; on Earth, where he helped his comrades in the field by warning them about incoming G.I. Joe [[S.H.A.R.C.]]s. When the ship came under attack by the [[Pretender Monster]]s, Skids was knocked out by [[Icepick (G1)|Icepick]] while alerting the others on board. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2}} He was sent to [[Pit (G.I. Joe)|the Pit]] for repairs and was expected to quickly recover from his injuries. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 2 of 2}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Skidsbacksoff.jpg|left|thumb|300px|-gulp-]]&lt;br /&gt;
Before the [[Great War (G1)|war]], Skids trained as a theoretician at the [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Senator Shockwave]]&#039;s [[Jhiaxian Academy of Advanced Technology|Academy of Advanced Technology]], {{storylink| Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}}  secretly recruited to the school because of his status as an &amp;quot;[[outlier]]&amp;quot; with special powers—in Skids&#039;s case, a &amp;quot;super-learning&amp;quot; ability that allowed him to master many skills. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}} He was present at the academy on the day that  [[Roller (G1)| Roller]] and [[Ratchet (G1)| Ratchet]] arrived to take Shockwave into protective custody, and his attempt to stop them was quickly quashed when the towering Roller intimidated him into silence. {{storylink| Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}} It was not long, however, before Skids&#039;s teacher returned and recruited him and classmates &amp;quot;[[Glitch (IDW)|Glitch]]&amp;quot; and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] for a plan formulated by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Orion Pax]] to steal a bomb disguised as the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] from [[Nominus Prime]]&#039;s body as it lay in the [[Primal Basilica]]. Skids was somewhat disappointed that his sole contribution to the plan was not one of his many skills, but merely the fact he had a grappling hook in his arm that they could use to lower Pax into the Basilica, but despite a minor snag when the technology-disrupting Glitch accidentally jammed his hook&#039;s winch, the mission was a success. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Getaway Skids ArmTheLonely.jpg|right|180px|thumb|]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After graduating to full-fledged theoretician status, Skids went on to join the [[Diplomatic Corps]], to work to persuade other races to support the Autobot cause. {{storylink|Scavengers (Part 2): Who&#039;s Afraid of the DJD?|Who&#039;s Afraid of the DJD?}} At some point, he disappeared under currently unknown circumstances and was believed dead, {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|Hangers On}} though the first clue that he yet lived came in the form of a mysterious message from the future that was sent—albeit too late to be heeded—to the Autobots departing to find the lost [[Knights of Cybertron]], which warned: &amp;quot;Don&#039;t let them take Skids&amp;quot;. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 1: How to Say Goodbye and Mean It|How to Say Goodbye and Mean It}}  Skids had, in fact, become part of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s covert [[Special Operations]]. Partnered with [[Getaway]], he was sent to attempt an &amp;quot;assassination&amp;quot; on [[Tyrest (G1)|Tyrest]], using a [[nudge gun]] to implant the impulse to resign in the Chief Justice&#039;s mind. The plan failed, and Skids was only able to escape using a shuttle made from [[mode lock]]ed [[Legislator]]s. Using the nudge gun&#039;s other charge, Skids erased his own memory after setting the shuttle to home in on the nearest of his handlers, the [[Duobot]]s. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:LiarsAtoD2-Skids.jpg|left|thumb|300px|How do you like me now?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was in this amnesiac state that he arrived on the planet where the &#039;&#039;[[Lost Light]]&#039;&#039; had crashed. Abruptly, the mode lock deactivated and the ship began transforming, so Skids made an impulsive decision: he reactivated the lock, sent the ship crashing into the surface, and bailed out. Making it to the ground safely, Skids found himself under attack from the Legislators that had made up his ship — though one of them had been killed in the crash, the other two were coming after him with giant swords and fire breath. Skids came upon the deceased bodies of two Autobots who had failed to survive the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039; crash—[[Hyperion (G1)|Hyperion]] and [[Polaris]]—and used their weapons and abilities to eliminate another of the pursuing robots. Running from the lone survivor, Skids came upon a small party of Autobots from the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039;, who deactivated the inhibitor claw for him, allowing him to access his weapons and destroy last Legislator. Skids was invited to join the crew of the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039;, though he was less than enthusiastic about [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]&#039;s proposition that the pair of them should team up. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|Hangers On}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:LiarsAtoD3-RungSkids.jpg|thumb|300px|right|MEANWHILE IN A 20 MILE RADIUS OF THIS EVENT]]&lt;br /&gt;
When a [[Sparkeater (creature)|Sparkeater]] got loose aboard the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039;, requiring the crew to be sealed in their quarters, Skids, having decided to exploit his missing memories to entirely reinvent himself and deciding he disliked confinement, left through the ventilation system. Drawn by [[Rung (G1)|Rung]]&#039;s cries, he saved the psychiatrist from a close call with the Sparkeater, and at [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]]&#039;s request, led the creature through the vents to the engine room where Rodimus disposed of it. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 3: The Chaos of Warm Things|The Chaos of Warm Things}} As a celebration of the death of the Sparkeater, Swerve opened a [[Swerve&#039;s|bar]] where Skids got drunk together with [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]. He failed to notice that Chromedome stole his gun while he was messing around with his grappling hook and a server-robot. {{storylink|Life After the Big Bang}} {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement}} After attending a ceremony to commend Chromedome, [[Brainstorm]] and [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] on recent heroics, {{storylink|The Reluctant Specialist}} Skids was next spotted still hanging out at the bar with some other Autobots as [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] put Chromedome&#039;s ability to identify an Autobot based on their transformation sound to the test. {{storylink|Interiors}} He later tried to comfort Swerve following his accidental shooting of Rung. {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a swarm of [[Nanocon]]s that had lain dormant inside [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]&#039;s body were mysteriously reactivated, Skids and a few others were shrunk by Brainstorm&#039;s mass-displacement gun and sent inside Magnus to eliminate them. Once that was dealt with, Skids attended [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]]&#039;s Autobot Initiation Ceremony, during which he relayed Swerve&#039;s report from the engine room that dead crewmember [[Ore]] had come back to life. The chaos only continued when Skids and a team of Autobots were abruptly teleported by [[Galactic Council]] to the planet [[Theophany]], there to investigate the razing of [[Crystal City]]. Beneath the city, they found a slumbering [[Metrotitan (body-type)|Metrotitan]], leading to discussions on the Transformers&#039; creation myths and the meaning of life; Skids and Chromedome shared a belief that life was shaped not by destiny or gods, but by interactions with others. Skids theorized that both the Nanocons and Ore had come back to life thanks to the psychic emanations of the Metrotitan, then helped [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] fend off the Galactic Council&#039;s forces until the Autobots could free the Metrotitan, which teleported them all back to the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039; and quantum-jumped the ship to safety. {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations|You, Me, and Other Revelations}} &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Inspired by their talk, Skids requested that Chromedome use his [[mnemosurgery]] to unlock his lost memories; Chromedome discovered that only Skids&#039;s last year of memories had been erased, while the others had been repressed by a trauma so horrific he did not dare restore them. Chromedome was, however, able to identify the music in his head as the &amp;quot;[[The Empyrean Suite]]&amp;quot;, and hoped he would never learn its significance. {{storylink|Scavengers (Part 2): Who&#039;s Afraid of the DJD?|Who&#039;s Afraid of the DJD?}}&lt;br /&gt;

Skids was among the group of Autobots gathered by [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]] in Swerve&#039;s bar to help tell a story to aid in Rung&#039;s mental recovery. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|Post Hoc}} When his old altercation with Roller came up, Whirl called him a wuss, and he countered that his skills as a theoretician wouldn&#039;t have been useful in a fight. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}} At the culmination of the story Rung still showed no signs of recovery...until Skids deliberately mispronounced his name a couple of times, prompting the psychiatrist to speak and correct him. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}} The storytelling session was brought to an end by the sounding of alarm to ready the crew for a battle with Decepticons on the planet [[Temptoria]]; during the fight, Skids, Chromedome and [[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]] battled [[Overkill (G1)|Overkill]]. {{storylink|Before &amp;amp; After}} Later, to unwind, Skids joined the crew of the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039; on some &amp;quot;shore leave&amp;quot; on the planet [[Hedonia]], where he tried out his new personality-generated [[holomatter]] avatar, only to find his amnesia kept it from creating a fake identity for him. As the group played the &amp;quot;Nemesis Game&amp;quot;, Skids identified [[Misfire]] as his worst enemy, and then wound up getting into a drunken brawl with [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. {{storylink|Cybertronian Homesick Blues}} Skids bought Rodimus a [[Galactic Council]] captain&#039;s hat as a souvenir of the trip. {{storylink|Signal to Noise}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:TheFecundMoon-Skids.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Skids kind of lost it a bit after Charlene left.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the mass-murdering Decepticon [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] ran wild on the ship, Skids joined in the futile effort to hold back his rampage. {{storylink|Under Cold Blue Stars}} Overlord was ejected from the ship thanks to the sacrifice of Rewind, and Skids tried to console Chromedome over the loss of his lover, only to find that the mnemosurgeon was eerily calm about the whole thing. {{storylink|The Gloaming}} When the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039; encountered the long lost satellite [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]], Skids got Chromedome to accompany the band of Autobots heading to the surface to see if the satellite had a way to return Skids&#039;s memories. He went to the ship&#039;s oil reservoir for some alone time, where he was attacked by a number of [[Legislator]]s. {{storylink|Remain in Light 1 of 5: The Fecund Moon|The Fecund Moon}} While he managed to hold them off long enough for Swerve to arrive to help, a [[Star Saber (Victory)|mysterious and enigmatic robot]] appeared behind him, and impaled him with a large sword. {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fortunately for Skids, he survived this, and was later teleported by Star Saber into a cell which contained Rodimus&#039; crew. Perceptor examined his wound, while Swerve explained what happened to them. After Skids said that he would apologize for whatever he had done to Tyrest, Star Saber returned to the cell, carrying his [[Getaway|&amp;quot;Partner in crime&amp;quot;]] with him. Chromedome then explained that when he read Skids&#039; mind, he had done it wrong, and misinterpreted the remnant memory as an &amp;quot;Imperative to escape&amp;quot;. In actuality though, it was a name, Getaway. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}} Getaway was able to fill Skids in on his lost memories of their ill-fated mission to change Tyrest&#039;s mind, and explained Tyrest&#039;s mad plan to reach [[Cyberutopia]]. With the newcomer&#039;s help, Skids and the others were freed from the cell and confronted Tyrest, only to be incapacitated by the lawmaker&#039;s suggestion weapon. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to Tailgate, the suggestion weapon was disabled, and Skids cuffed [[Pharma (G1)|Pharma]], only for the medic to promptly escape when his back was turned. The Autobots caught up with him at Tyrest&#039;s gate to Cyberutopia, but only Skids, finally at peace with himself, was able to step through the guilt-detecting force field. He found himself standing on a strange landscape being talked to by a multi-colored [[spark]]. On hearing cries for help from Rung, he dashed back through the portal to help fight the Legislators until Tailgate was able to shut them down with some amendments to the law. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039; left Luna 1, Skids played a film compiled by Rewind to detail the ship&#039;s voyage. Unfortunately the film failed to impress the members of the [[Circle of Light]] who rejected any notion of joining the crew. {{storylink|Little Victories}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skids&#039;&#039;&#039; (Autobot Car, 1984/1985)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Liquid nitrogen rifle&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;twin electron blaster&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;rocket pod&amp;quot; launcher, 3 rockets&lt;br /&gt;
:Skids began life as part of [[TakaraTomy]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; toyline, where he was known simply by the name of his alternate mode, the [[wikipedia:Honda_City_Turbo|Honda City Turbo]], and was available in blue, red or black color schemes (see [[#Notes|Notes]], below). The blue version of the figure was used by [[Hasbro]] as part of the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toyline, sans a small scooter accessory that the &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; figure had come with which stored inside his trunk. Despite sharing this common point of origin with many of his fellow Autobot cars, he features a few unusual touches: his rear wheels fold into his feet for added robot-mode stability, and his weapons attach by clipping over his forearms, rather than plugging into his fists. Among his armament is a &amp;quot;rocket pod&amp;quot;, the spring-loaded missile-firing mechanism of which was neutered for Hasbro&#039;s release of the figure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Because Skids was not one of the original eleven [[Autobot Cars]] released at the line&#039;s inception, he is commonly grouped in with the later 1985 Autobot Cars both fictionally and in the minds of [[fandom|fans]]. However, Skids was actually added to the 1984 assortment some time before the 1985 wave was released (December 1984 is the current earliest confirmed availability of the figure), during which time he came in 1984 packaging including a &amp;quot;TM&amp;quot; mark by the &amp;quot;Transformers&amp;quot; logo, rather than a &amp;quot;(R)&amp;quot; mark.  Like the other 1984 cars, at least some of these early Skids releases lacked the [[rubsign]] on the roof that would later be added to all Transformers toys in 1985. He was also one of the &#039;&#039;rarest&#039;&#039; mass-release G1 figures, with just one Skids included per every &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; [[Case|shipping cases]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skids has been reissued several times; this article lists each reissue separately where appropriate. This mold itself is a [[retool]] of an earlier &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; toy, the Honda City R; this earlier tooling was used to make [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Crosscut]] and the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Generations 2009]]&#039;&#039; exclusive [[Screech (Generations)|Screech]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Skids received his first reissue in 2002, when [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] made him available as part of their &amp;quot;book-box&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]&#039;&#039; series, surprising many with the inclusion of such an overlooked character so early in the line. He features no significant differences from the original (save for a working missile launcher, as with the original Japanese release), though the figure suffered from a common, if not universal, problem: an excess of plastic on the underside of Skids&#039;s right foot means that his rear wheel can not fold down flat beneath it, resulting in a slightly unstable robot mode. Since the original Japanese figure was released only in a giftset, Skids did not get a [[List of Japanese ID numbers|Japanese ID number]] at the time, a situation this reissue rectifies by retroactively giving him the ID number &#039;&#039;&#039;96&#039;&#039;&#039; on the included [[Tech Spec]] and [[bio]] card.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Skids transforms into a 1:24-scale blue Scion xB. All four doors open, revealing a fully-detailed realistic interior with seats for a driver and passengers, plus his hood pops open to reveal his engine. His robot mode is very reminiscent of his original toy, with his head sculpt based off his animation model with toy details. His engine pops out and unfolds to become his hand-held pistol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Hasbro &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; release (part of the first wave of new &amp;quot;bubble packaging&amp;quot; toys) differs from the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; release in that it has a much darker shade of blue, tinted windows, and various Scion-type tampographed flame decals. The Japanese release naturally has die cast metal parts, is painted a lighter shade of blue, and has different paint decos. It also includes a sheet of stickers, including flames resembling the ones printed on the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version, as well as some Generation-1-style red stripes, and most humorously, a Japanese &amp;quot;New Driver&amp;quot; badge.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:TakaraTomy reissued Skids again in October 2009 as part of their &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Encore]]&#039;&#039; series. This version of the figure shifted its colors a little, changing him from tomato-red and blue to cherry-red and blueish-purple, as well as noticeably lightening the translucent blue plastic used for his windows. His Autobot symbol and tail light stickers were replaced with [[tampograph]]s, while some of his other stickers were updated slightly, including his factory-applied front grill sticker. Like past reissues, this figure too suffered with an unstable robot mode, and &#039;&#039;both&#039;&#039; feet had wheels that would not fold away flat.&lt;br /&gt;

*Though Skids&#039; toy turned into a Honda City Turbo, his car mode was often misinterpreted in Transformers fiction as one of the then-new minivans, despite the fact that a Honda City Turbo is a subcompact car, and as such, could theoretically be stowed in the back seat of an actual minivan. This is likely because most Americans in 1985 wouldn&#039;t know what a subcompact car is.&lt;br /&gt;
*As Skids was released in the interim between the original 1984 launch and the big push of new 1985 figures, the character consequently fell by the wayside in the Generation 1 fiction of the 1980s. He was not included in the commercial promoting the new 1985 range of Autobot Cars, as he wasn&#039;t technically part of it. Similarly, he was also left out of the list of new 1985 product in the Generation 1 cartoon&#039;s [[production bible]] intended for inclusion in the show&#039;s second season, and as such, only managed to appear in little more than cameo roles in just two episodes, speaking one line in each and voiced by a different actor each time. He fared a little better in the Marvel comics, debuting alongside (an incomplete roster of) the other 1985 cars, but after getting an issue dedicated to himself, he all but completely vanished from the book and was banished to [[limbo]] by the UK comic for upwards of 100 issues, abandoned and forgotten.&lt;br /&gt;
*In the &amp;quot;[[Survivors!]]&amp;quot; story, Skids was suddenly drawn with the original Diaclone toy&#039;s head (which years later would be used for the new character [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Crosscut]]). &amp;quot;Survivors!&amp;quot;&#039; artist, [[Dan Reed]], previously drew him with his real head, so it&#039;d be interesting to learn why and how this change happened. (He would later mysteriously regain his own face.)&lt;br /&gt;
*In more recent years, toys sporting the name &amp;quot;Skids&amp;quot; have required an additional &amp;quot;Autobot&amp;quot; prefix for [[trademark]] reasons, hence making the official name &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Autobot Skids&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Hmmm, Prowl killing five Constructicons.  Some kind of cosmic karma, given the way Prowl was killed off in Transformers: The Movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wrong Title? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Should there be a &amp;quot;Notes&amp;quot; note about the title? &amp;quot;Devisive&amp;quot; isn&#039;t a real word, but &amp;quot;Divisive&amp;quot; is. It looks like this got missed in copy-editing.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
