Skids (Movie)
From MediaWiki
| This article is about the non-screen character from the 2007 movie franchise. For the on-screen Revenge of the Fallen character, see Skids (ROTF). For a list of other meanings, see Skids (disambiguation). |
- Skids is an Autobot from the Transformers portion of the movie continuity family.
Skids is pretty useless in a fight, it seems.
Fiction
[edit]IDW movie comics
[edit]Skids used to spar with his fellow Autobot Camshaft. He wasn't very good at it, but he was still better than Class Alpha or Class Beta drones. The Reign of Starscream #3
Games
[edit]3D Battle-Card Game
[edit]Skids was one of Optimus Primal's many Autobot allies in a fight against Megatron's Decepticon forces, in what might possibly have been an inter-universe battle. 3D Battle-Card Game
Merchandise
[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.)
