Talk:Skids (ROTF)
From the Walmart.com link: "Product not found". If there's any truth in the Skids/Mudflap combo set, sweet. Until then, looks like this info will have to be deleted. - Zadok Rox 22:17, 9 May 2009 (EDT)
- Any truth? Where do you think the images are from originally? --ItsWalky 22:23, 9 May 2009 (EDT)
- I thought they came from the Walmart.com site until I got the "Product not found" message. Eh, maybe I'm getting too cynical. - Zadok Rox 22:32, 10 May 2009 (EDT)
Main Pic
Does anyone have any screen grabs from one of the three TV spots that Bay released? Namely the one where you get a great shot of Skids' bust. Think we could put that as the main pic?--AWT88 21:43, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
- There's some CGI promo stills of his body out there that I think would serve that purpose better. But the screenshot could go in the fiction section. --ItsWalky 22:21, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
- I was just curious, I totally forgot about the promo stills. Thanks for the feed back.--AWT88 23:27, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
- I've been asking, but I don't think you moderator/admin guys ever replied - were those CG promo images ever released in that form officially? I know we've since seen them on official merchandise and such and a few articles have begun using them. --FFN 23:45, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
- Now that they've started showing up on things, I consider them fair game. --ItsWalky 00:06, 20 May 2009 (EDT)

Tom Kenny
Is there confirmation on this? We know Tom Kenny is in the movie, and Skids' voice in the commercial sounded Tom Kenny-ish, but is there any official word on the matter? - Cattleprod 23:32, 22 May 2009 (EDT)
- No, there isn't.--AWT88 12:01, 23 May 2009 (EDT)
Move?
Why? Dead Metal 10:07, 7 July 2009 (EDT)
- Apparently because Skids was name-dropped in a piece of not-quite-prequel-comic. Since he didn't actually show up until ROTF fiction proper, I think we can probably keep this here and save ourselves a headache. What an annoying technicality. --ItsWalky 10:12, 7 July 2009 (EDT)
- Ja, same logic as "Sideways (RID)". I thought it was worth raising the issue, if only so we formally rationalized why the article wasn't moving. -Derik 10:23, 7 July 2009 (EDT)
- Sideways got a TOY in Robots in Disguise. That's not just somebody name-dropping him in anticipation of his imminent release, within a piece of fiction that's nebulously between the two films. --ItsWalky 10:38, 7 July 2009 (EDT)
- Turns out that the name-dropped Skids in Reign of Starscream isn't ROTF Skids anyway. It's really a separate Movie Skids (well, rather, it was a reference to G1 Skids). So... uh... didn't we used to have a Movie Skids page with him in that game mode thingy? --Jeysie 11:11, 7 July 2009 (EDT)
- Well, the Word of God has spoken. I think the game thingy got moved to G1 Skids' page, for whatever reason. We can move that back here and make a proper Movie Skids page. --ItsWalky 11:16, 7 July 2009 (EDT)
- The game card is at G1 Skids's page because it has G1 Skids's weapons. It was also part of the expansion which featured characters other than movie characters. Also, just because he didn't have ROTF Skids in mind when he wrote it should (IMHO) mean that it is a different character. - Starfield 12:10, 7 July 2009 (EDT)

Human Allience Skids
Do we know the street date of the HA Skids toy? -Derik 17:24, 14 July 2009 (EDT)
Against Devastator
So the twins have this big fight against Devastator, and they're kicking his ass, and then it cuts to something else, and when it cuts back Devastator's heading towards the pyramid and we never see them again. Have any of the myriad tie-ins or novelizations or what-not made any mention of what happened to them, or should I just go on (happily) assuming they got eaten off-screen? -- Dark T Zeratul
