[edit]- Skids (3D Battle-Card, 2007)
- A 26-point "common" character in the 3D Battle-Card Game's "Energon Wars" expansion, Skids "transforms" into a grey pickup truck of indeterminate make. He uses the same parts layout as Ironhide and Dropkick. This card may or may not represent Generation 1 Skids instead.
Notes
[edit]- Reign of Starscream writer Chris Mowry has gone on the record saying that the Skids name-drop was not referencing the Revenge of the Fallen character, but a distinct live-action continuity Skids.[1]
- According to the Battle-Card, he is equipped with a LN2 Cryo Rifle, an Electron Blaster, and a Rocket Launcher, similar to Generation 1 Skids. (Generation 1 references in the movie universe? How absurd.)
