Screech (Generations)

This article is about the exclusive toy for Transformers Generations 2009. For the Action Master partner to Take-Off, see Screech (Action Master).

The name or term "Skids" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Skids (disambiguation).

Screech is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.

I'm here to give the Wiki headaches.

Screech is a Skids from an alternate timeline, unwittingly pulled into another timeline by that timeline's Skids. Together, they fight crime!

Mostly, Screech hopes one day that he can find his way back to his home dimension. Until then, he changed his name and paired up with his "brother" Skids as Quantum Operatives, scouring the multiverse for anomalies. For these purposes, the Quantam Phase Attack Specialist has covered himself with a Dimension Slide coating, and he carries a substance accelerator pistol and a Quantum Shield. The doors on his back allow him to glide through the air.

Fiction

Henkei! Henkei! Generations comic

Along with his fellow "Quantum Operative" Skids, Screech pursued Starscream's ghost across the multiverse to a parallel dimension where he was causing trouble. While the two dimension-hoppers kept the ghost busy with wordplay and pop culture references, the 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! Starscream's New Body

He's the red one.

• Screech (Autobot, 2009)
  • Accessories: scooter drone, rifle, double-blaster, launcher, 3 projectiles

Screech is a orange-red redeco of Crosscut, a retool of Skids. He transforms into a Honda City R hatchback with a different head and hood. He also comes with a "scooter" accessory that fits in his hatchback. Screech was an exclusive to Million Publishing, sold only in a set with Skids with volume 3 of Transformers Generations 2009. While Skids' colors are an homage to Revenge of the Fallen Skids, Screech is likewise a match for Skids' twin Mudflap.

Notes

Well, it's no Seafood Louis, but it'll do.

• Screech appears to be a nod to Skids's appearance in the Marvel UK "Survivors" stories, where he had, for no discernable reason, Crosscut's head instead of his own. Surprisingly, this wouldn't be the most obscure reference Japan has made to stories from foreign lands.

• Mockup images showed Screech with a red head, but the actual product's head was gray.
