Masterpiece

Masterpiece Reboost is a redeco and retooling of the simultaneously-released MP-53 Skids, based on the red version of Diaclone No. 6 Honda City R. (The silver version was previously used by e-HOBBY as the Transformers character Crosscut.)
Reboost comes with Component X, based on the fold-out motocompo included with real-life Honda subcompact cars. In addition, Reboost includes a Holomatter Avatar driver, which is a transparent version of the Spike Witwicky figure included with Hound.

Notes

(All five Diaclone versions of Crosscut and Skids.)
  • Reboost's Diaclone-based red colouration often lends to confusion with the burnt orange form of Skids known as Screech, himself inspired by Revenge of the Fallen Mudflap. Remember, Reboost has the blue head while Screech has a silver head.
  • Crosscut was considered for inclusion in the 1980s Transformers line long enough for the Reboost colouration to be used by Takara in a preliminary 1985 packaging mural.[2] (Said mural featured other oddities, such as Skids in the black deco as well as the distinctive prototype version of Superion.)
