:The Generations strips might well take place in the continuity of the Henkei pack-in mini-comics, but either way, as contiinuity goes, it's pretty micro. And since Skids is familiar with Starscream's ghost, it seems fair to assume he originates in the G1 cartoon continuity. Mind you, that was a conclusion reached based on the strip alone, before we knew he'd spent a lot of time travelling the multiverse, so that's probably less concrete an idea now. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 10:20, 26 January 2010 (EST) | |||

You know, considering the last time we see Skids, he's trying to leap into the past to stop Ravage from changing history, and next thing we know girls are kissing Transformers to give them powers, I think we should blame him. He totally screwed it all up. (This is tongue in cheek.) --ItsWalky 15:41, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Skids' tiny fiction footprint
On the strength of a vague memory, I dug up this thread on alt.toys.transformers. crazysteve presents pretty conclusive evidence that Skids was available in shops at the end of 1984 (I downloaded the PDF and blew up the relevant photo, available here) , but the discussion further down the thread is pretty interesting: Zobovor suggests that Skids' apparently anomalous position in the release schedule might explain why he was much less prominent in the cartoon and advertisements than characters such as Tracks and Red Alert. Basically, he fell into the cracks: he was tagged on at the end of the first wave and got forgotten about, and may also have been less readily available than other toys. This is guesswork to a large extent, but it's guesswork that makes a whole lot of sense, IMO at least. Is it worth mentioning here (if only by linking to the a.t.t. thread)? --Tribimat 17:07, 1 August 2009 (EDT)
Henkei! Henkei!
