Toys
Masterpiece
- Reboost (November 20, 2021)
- ID number: MP-54
- Accessories: "Laser Gun", "Rocket Pod", "Double Laser Gauntlet", "Component X", "Holomatter Avatar"
- 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.
- 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.
- This tooling, complete with scooter, was redecoed into fellow Diaclone alumnus Crosscut.
Notes
- Reboost was created to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Honda City R in its iconic red color scheme, the car itself being significantly more famous than Skids in Japan.[2]
- Diaclone veteran and current Masterpiece designer Kōjin Ōno happened to own just such a red City R himself. It's not just anyone who gets to make their car into a Transformer. Twice!
- 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 does not.
- 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.[3] (Said mural featured other oddities, such as Skids in the black deco as well as the distinctive prototype version of Superion.)
