There is no Autobot logo anywhere on Skids. His feet and oversized right hand are dark grey while eyes are light blue flanked by silver. Push the hood ornament in and you're done.Ī pink robot with white legs and forearms, Skids wears the silver grille as his chest while the blue headlights are on his shoulderpads. Fold the hood right back, which will unveil his head. Fold the roof behind the windshield, fold back the windshield. Fold in the side windows, unclip the doors, swing forward to form forearms and pull out the fenders as shoulders. Swing down the legs from within the van, fold down the front bumper. I doubt we'll ever see this alt mode revisited, but this one is very good so that's not really a loss.ĭetach and set aside the rear half of the toy (Mudflap). The sculpt is good, the paint mask is appropriate if unusual and the two halves hold together well (despite the bio claiming otherwise). There's no doubting what this is, and while pink is a colour Transformers designers tend to avoid, the pink and white suits here.

At any rate, this is certainly one of the most distinctive colour schemes we've seen on a Transformer alt mode. The colour scheme is very much that of ice cream vans in Australia (especially Sydney), but I can't comment on the colours elsewhere. There's au upside down red Autobot logo on the back while the tyres are grey with silver and pink hubcaps. On either side this van sports "Creamy ICE CREAM" on top, "MADE FRESH FOR YOU!" on the front fenders and pictures of ice cream cones on the rear fenders. On top there's a grey speaker and a white (not off white) soft serve swirl. The grille is silver while the headlights are transparent blue. The back half is Mudflap and the front half is Skids, incidentally. There are transparent blue windows on the front half and painted blue windows on the back half.
