Deluxe Class Skids Review

Well i picked up Skids July 5th but got really lazy with my toy reviews so im doing it now. He is a great figure, i love him, I have the final copy toy which is the finished one. The one in the picture is the same as mine except the Skids that i have has see-through plastic windows instead of the blue paint.

Bio:
Because he is slightly less hyperactive than his brother MUDFLAP, AUTOBOT SKIDS has always thought of himself as "the smart one." He likes to point out at every opportunity. While MUDFLAP zips around like a maniac, AUTOBOT SKIDS prefers to impress his superiors among the AUTOBOT high command by behaving in a way that he thinks of as being mature, which usually involves talking nonstop about anything that occurs to him.

Car Mode:
His concept car is really nice, The design is pretty awesome. Hes got some very nice and detailed decals on both his left and right side, his hood is black along with the rims. Skids has no Autobot symbols on his car but in robot mode he has one. The license plate on the rear says "Skids" on it and above that theres a Chevy symbol. Also, there is a Chevy sign on the front grill. Unlike most deluxes, Skids has the mirror detail on his doors. There is also a spoiler at the end of the car.
Robot Mode:
The transformation from car to robot is pretty easy as you can say for the transformation from robot to car. His backpack doesnt have much kibble at all which is great and from the top of the backpack you can see the Chevy logo and the license plate that says "Skids" on it. His head looks kind of funny with the black and green, also his head has to look down all the time because the backpack pegs into place right behind Skids' head. The Mech Alive system isnt all that great, it just moves some pieces of his armor panels. His right arm is bigger than his left, it also punches when you press the button. There is one Autobot symbol under his chest. The feet are really good for posing. There are many different ways to pose him, he is great for putting on display.
I would rate this figure an 8 out of 10.
