Honestly, the main reason why I'd like a new Cybertron Mudflap is so that we will FINALLY have the FAINTEST of chances for a Cybertron Signal Lancer 😭 BRING MY BOY TO LIFE
There actually almost was a new Mudflap before COVID-19 happened. Third Party company Cold Constructs were going to do one until their Scattorshot failed to sell properly. Overhaul, Hot Shot and Jetfire were also intended for future release but never happened.
So glad to hear someone else say it. Masterpiece has dipped in quality and affordability, while Generations has soared to heights we never thought we'd get at the price point!
I mean if you want an example of how masterpiece has fallen just look at bumblebee 2.0 A textbook example of how good engineering was sacrificed for a gimmick no one cared about
Let me just say, Legacy Skids is what got me into actively collecting Transformers and "SKIDS: The Most Disrespected Autobot " got me into watching Thew's Awesome Transformers Reviews. Both things are now some of my limited ways of relaxing after work. Thanks Thew, keep GRINDIN those TOY reviews!
I appreciate the Crankcase love, everyone gushes about us getting Windsweeper and Ruckus....but Crankcase had always been the star of the Triggercons in media and the Legacy version is a solid remold from Skids to make me happy.
@@gabrielchee8470 definitely what gave a lot of those characters their star power but I personally don’t like underselling the work put into those toys bios back in the day. Especially in late G1, if you were up for the included reading, they didnt necessarily need proper media to still give you a character, and I have a lot of respect for that.
@@Cdr2002 true. When I'm making fanart I'm always looking at G1 bios for inspiration, wish they didn't get offlined by a cosmically powered starscream nowadays
@@gabrielchee8470 that’s awesome! And yeah it is a shame looking at the fossilizers and Junkions and them and going “oh. This is what a real non character is”
One of the cool things about Skids is that he's and everyday car. Although Bumblebee is also an everyday car, VW Beetles do stand out despite that. Skids could avoid standing out in a way that most of the others couldn't. Can you imagine Mirage hanging out on the street corner, well without his invisibility? Thanks for the video Thew, and happy All Hallows
me: well I don't want MP Skids and I already have Legacy Skids so at least I don't have to worry about Thew making me want to buy something this time! Thew: 'Masterpiece Diaburnout', me: [takes my hat off and throws it on the ground and jumps up and down on it like Yosemite Sam]
Oh god, the moment you said the Skids video was 4 years old, it hit me like a flashbang. I've been watching you forever. Thanks for getting me addicted to collecting Transformers. I have load of full shelf space thanks to you and I couldn't be happier.
Unironically, I think Thew just DID foretell the future. With Thunderclash's toy actively disintegrating and his history as being 'the cooler Optimus' when Rodimus plopped, a new Thunderclash has GOTTA be in the works. As both a character and a toy, he's too much fun NOT to. If Skids can make a comeback, Thunderclash definitely can.
To be fair, the Diaclone decos of MP Skids had the scooter, which is why I went for Reboost (the red one) over Skids. Edit 2: my favorite of the Legacy skids remolds/repaints has wound up being Cannonball funny enough. He's like the best of both Skids AND Crankcase with a snazzy deco, and a cyber planet key AND Red Alert/Cannonball's original weapons! Hell yeah! Edit one: guess who didn't watch the full video before commenting lmaoooo
Skids. The guy that took Megatron off the board for ages, and Ravage for hundreds of issues. The autobot so awesome Time itself judged him the equal and opposite of Galvatron. And who got his rocks off by letting an earth girl wash him in a bikini. One of these stories was by Bob Budiansky.
The entire segment involving going back to get the old photos of Savant for comparison just might be some of the best content that Thew has ever created.
This was an excellent watch, there's no videos of yours that I dislike at all, really, but every now and again it just happens that a video clearly, just, is a little MORE for lack of a better term (not more anything specific, just more in and of itself) and this feels like one of those. Fantastically delivered excellent little journey. I think the personal aspect present here might be a major part of its charm. One way or another, a great time was had!
Thew your energy always helps. I lost my bestfriend two weeks ago they just caught his killers and you and emgo have really kept me out of my head thank you
Woo a Ford Fiesta shout-out! My first car was a blue '78 Fiesta with a red & white stripe. A real piece of junk, but now it feels cooler because i never realized it looked like Skids!
I got Legacy Skids in a two-pack during X-mas and I ended up really loving him. He is one of those bot toys that is just about perfect in having a satisfying transformation that's not complex or fiddly and gives you a good bot when it's done. It's like the wonderful solid simplicity of the original toys.
16:41 Hmm... I wonder if Legacy Skids head will fit on the Generations Skids? You do seem to be roughly the same size. And thrilling 30 Skids is still awesome. Me want.
I remember watching that original video and how it made me appreciate Skids' overall aesthetic. Not long after, I found a copy of Legacy Skids in a local shop and picked it up on a whim. That was the toy that really got me back into the hobby!
13:01 Honestly I didn’t notice this until you pointed this out, but yea you’re right. Masterpieces (besides Beast Wars maybe) don’t really have the same luster as they used to. It feels like 3p and Generations stole all of Takara’s thunder.
Ever sense your first Skids video I’ve been freaking obsessed with him and his mold family (Crosscut is my personal favorite) glad he got the Sideswipe/ Prowl treatment and got a a whole fleet of repaints.
fun fact: MP-53 Skids, as well as its repaints, are also sold (alongside other licenced toys of Honda cars) at the gift shop of the Honda Collection Hall Museum located in Motegi, Japan.
Is Legacy Cannonball a Skids retool?? I just got mine and I'm seeing the same arms, legs and back panel. That's so cool! The big giveaway was the split front wheels that don't doot-de-doot
The problem with MPs are they're basically useless. The mainline figures have become better in quality AND engineering. They developed while masterpiece stayed put.
I like to call them "Living Fossils", personally. Still being made, in a time where 3rd Parties & Mainlines have pretty much stolen their Mojo, but they refuse to go under.
I think the only thing left would be if they made a new Transformers cartoon that featured skids prominently. Then they could make a Skids based off of that cartoon, other than that I'm pretty sure we're good for him.
Hey Thew, not to question you or anything but I think the intended way to combine the guns is to plug the double gun into the hole on the bottom of the bigger gun, speaking from personal experience it fills out the space a bit better, gives it a sort of gun trident look and leaves the top port open so you can plop the energon axe on top and make it look like an at least somewhat decent hand canon.
legacy skids holds a very special place in my heart, your review made me very excited when he came up to fill that brief, and once i got him in hand he kind of changed my life for a bit. i was just so charmed with how ordinary he felt, like just some car that could be anywhere, it felt very validating to the “robots in disguise” concept. he even got me interested in the diaclone lads because of how they carried that vibe with burnout and lift ticket and them, they filled a hole of mundane realism that had really been missing from my transformers experience, and it just made everything click. he’s lovely, and he’s done so much for me, i adore him.
as additional proof that i love him, i have bought every iteration of the mold so far and am more than ready to keep buying more of them, i cant wait for cybertron red alert and, hopefully, reboost, screech, and the other skids. i would buy a three-pack of just them, honestly, they would be an absolute joy to have by my side.
I can't believe it's four years. Time's running so fast. But I remember when the first picture of mpm Blackout came out and now we have the whole 07 Decepticon team in mpm form.
You’ve literally made me want to get him! Love the 80’s Honda vibes and he just looks awesome, and want it more because he’s such a random under the radar autobot that suits me to a tee haha. 😁
I have legacy burnout, and while I have little clue where two of the three accessories went, I do remember a combined configuration that looks like it was actually intentionally designed. You take the big chunky single barrel gun, and you plonk the ax on top of it by the back of the blade, so that the l-shaped handle near the bottom of the axe lines up with the end of the barrel. And then you take the double pistol and tack it on upside down under the chunky gun. So now you have a marginally sensible but still really daft kind of doomgun with a four barrels
20:52 Going by size classes I think TC would be Leader? Maybe Voyager? Commander and Titan are taken for the years to come, but he's not high profile enough.
@@bigds9fan Starsaber Is a series leader. Animated too. And most importantly: Japanese for the MP. The HasLab just shows he's popular. Maybe if they did an IDW comic bots line. Plus, do you REALLY need a Commander Thunderclash? Would Voyager not suffice?
@@samurexatlas7373 It'd have to at least be a Leader so we can get that trailer. Thunderclash is just "Optimus Not-Quite-Prime" without the unique trailer.
I will always appreciate Thew manifesting a new love for skids. The masterpiece was great and my first. I got the silver version. Though mine came with a scooter
@@gabrielchee8470 I dunno... I do _kinda_ see it, but I feel like that's a bit of a stretch... plus I have a hard time seeing matches in the robot modes...
As someone who just completed the leader class dinobots, there is very little I'd wish for right now. Just looking forward to what surprises will be brought in the future.
My Legacy Skids has basically the full ToyHax set applied. I don't like applying window stickers but I went ahead with them, partly for continuity with the rear window stickers, but also to mask the internal structures, especially the bold red strut behind the windshield (which oddly works better on the Crosscut redeco, which has no stickers applied)
I can not believe it has been 3 years, already. I still face palm when I think how my good intentions to provide you with an luxurious unpacking experience backfired immensely... Except the soft "pillows" I made for securing the box. You liked that one XD 7/10 for Masterpiece Skids is a good grade in my eyes, but I do see how it could benefit without the light blue head and arms. I own the Crosscut version of the mold and I do like it. I just like the Optimus head more, and did not wanted to buy Legacy Skids because my favourite TH-camr had one. I follow, but not blindly XD Again, such a treat to see the review, and knowing you liked the gift~ P.S. The display in your room looks wonderful. Very formal, like in a museum.
It was actually because of your prior Skids video that Skids was the first Legacy figure I picked up. Also nice that the Skids mold led to Crankcase getting a new figure in the line.
Thew, your writing is so good. Some of your zingers had me in absolute tears! 🤣I don't care if you were wrong if it brings this level of entertainment!
I have Velocitron Burnout & she is an absolute treat of a lass for sure, I only picked her up because I got Gen Selects Lift-Ticket & while I didn't & still don't care for him, he did make me get Burnout & for that I thank him for that as she is a perfectly competent deluxe carformer that I don't regret buying unlike Lift-Ticket.
Legacy Skids is easily one of my favorite figures to come outta Lagacy! When I got him and turned him into his car mode for the first time, I was like "Yes! This FEELS right!" I was so happy to finally have one of my favorite characters in my collection! That same character who fell in love with from reading Issue #20 of the classic Marvel comic! That said, he needed better weapons. Thank you, third-party companies for making better TF accessories when Hasbro drops the ball! I got a set of 3 guns, 2 of which can be combined into 1. A rifle that looks IDW/Thirlling 30 inspired, a double-barrel gun, and a blue gun with a black barrel. And he looks great with them!
MP Diaburnout is the first MP I've bought since... uh... wow, Road Rage. I clearly have a theme there. And yes, you want Diaburnout, she's great. She's got SO MUCH STUFF and the best headsculpt. Nominally I'd dread doing an MP pic for the wiki, but honestly, doing that one was a dang delight.
I'm actually really glad that we got this sequel, and I still think the original video on skids is still great. Even if it doesn't age that well, it's still a good monument to how a nobody, even someone as forgettable to most people as skids, can have a happy ending in the world of Transformers or hell, maybe even more than just transformers. Everyone has value, and everyone deserves to have their purpose fulfilled and realized, even something as silly as the blue Honda transformer. Not to mention, it's also quite the redemption arc, like I'm fairly certain that skids didn't get any attention for the longest time because people associate him with exclusively Revenge of the Fallen, I know for sure that's what happened with me, so the fact that it's not the case anymore is just amazing.
Been waiting on this one for a WHILE now. Hell yeah!! Accidentally bought a knockoff Deadpool figure recently. Taking inspiration from The Mighty Thew I gave him a silly name: Deadshit. Aussies will get it. Just wanted to say by the way: love your stuff, every time I get a notification you've dropped a new video I do a little dance out of sheer excitement. Please never stop or I will get withdrawals.
15:51 ... Thew, did you purposely put them together wrong or actively not know that the big gun has a second port underneath the barrel for the split gun?
I’m glad I’m not alone. Since Ultra Magnus MP went full cartoon I’ve been out. I hung one getting a couple, but I loved the updated modern look. But the mainline has been KILLIN it!

Really cool to see a sponsorship from an OFFICE chair and not those trash gamer chair companies.
Now we wait for Thew to review every Mudflap figure so he can somehow summon a new Cybertron Mudflap figure
He is an interesting design.

"It looks so dweeby and uncool."
Brother it's Skids. Dweeby and uncool is in character for him.
Yeah...that comment really surprised me. I always thought Thew liked Skids precisely BECAUSE Skids is so dweeby and uncool. An outlier as it were...
Let me just say, Legacy Skids is what got me into actively collecting Transformers and "SKIDS: The Most Disrespected Autobot " got me into watching Thew's Awesome Transformers Reviews.
Both things are now some of my limited ways of relaxing after work.

i can't believe mans said "skibidi rizzler," what a time to be alive
Fantastic video as always Thew!
I'd still love an IDW deluxe Skids done again. The T30 one needs an update.
Man, that video rocks, regardless of what happened afterwards
Thew, your writing is so good. Some of your zingers had me in absolute tears! 🤣I don't care if you were wrong if it brings this level of entertainment!
I have Velocitron Burnout & she is an absolute treat of a lass for sure, I only picked her up because I got Gen Selects Lift-Ticket & while I didn't & still don't care for him, he did make me get Burnout & for that I thank him for that as she is a perfectly competent deluxe carformer that I don't regret buying unlike Lift-Ticket.
Legacy Skids is easily one of my favorite figures to come outta Lagacy! When I got him and turned him into his car mode for the first time, I was like "Yes! This FEELS right!" I was so happy to finally have one of my favorite characters in my collection! That same character who fell in love with from reading Issue #20 of the classic Marvel comic! That said, he needed better weapons. Thank you, third-party companies for making better TF accessories when Hasbro drops the ball! I got a set of 3 guns, 2 of which can be combined into 1. A rifle that looks IDW/Thirlling 30 inspired, a double-barrel gun, and a blue gun with a black barrel. And he looks great with them!
15:47 I think that all the time when I see sci-fi blasters with two barrels spaced apart like that.
Yessss!! finally! time to watch this! truly one of the reasons i gained a love for this lil blue guy
The thrilling 30 skids was the mold i liked, especially road burn.
I’m just relieved that no Skids have slipped through the cracks.
Reboost is my first and only MP so far-hes basically optimus skids and I love him.
MP Diaburnout is the first MP I've bought since... uh... wow, Road Rage. I clearly have a theme there. And yes, you want Diaburnout, she's great. She's got SO MUCH STUFF and the best headsculpt. Nominally I'd dread doing an MP pic for the wiki, but honestly, doing that one was a dang delight.
loverly intro! fun switch up :)
A Missing Link Thunderclash would go hard
17:51 Doo dee doo OHHHH SCRAYPEE 😂
I would LOVE the green and orange repaints. I still need Crosscut and Cannonball to, I’ve almost got all of them
I'm actually really glad that we got this sequel, and I still think the original video on skids is still great. Even if it doesn't age that well, it's still a good monument to how a nobody, even someone as forgettable to most people as skids, can have a happy ending in the world of Transformers or hell, maybe even more than just transformers. Everyone has value, and everyone deserves to have their purpose fulfilled and realized, even something as silly as the blue Honda transformer. Not to mention, it's also quite the redemption arc, like I'm fairly certain that skids didn't get any attention for the longest time because people associate him with exclusively Revenge of the Fallen, I know for sure that's what happened with me, so the fact that it's not the case anymore is just amazing.
Excellent, a new Thew video. Perfect day after my birthday present. XD
When the intro music doesn’t play in the intro, you know it’s gonna be a good’n.
Been waiting on this one for a WHILE now. Hell yeah!!
Accidentally bought a knockoff Deadpool figure recently. Taking inspiration from The Mighty Thew I gave him a silly name: Deadshit. Aussies will get it.
Just wanted to say by the way: love your stuff, every time I get a notification you've dropped a new video I do a little dance out of sheer excitement. Please never stop or I will get withdrawals.
It's surprising to me how much Masterpiece Skids shrinks when he transforms
4:10 you say "Combiners" and show us a guy who looks like he's made out of coolers? *what the hell is that??*
Gimped Raiden.
15:51 ... Thew, did you purposely put them together wrong or actively not know that the big gun has a second port underneath the barrel for the split gun?
Finally the greatest video of all time !
14:42 see? Now he’s happy he’s reviewing the Gen after the MP
Nice to see the Crankcase the love, still the only transformer to turn into a Fiat Panda 4x4
I’m glad I’m not alone. Since Ultra Magnus MP went full cartoon I’ve been out. I hung one getting a couple, but I loved the updated modern look. But the mainline has been KILLIN it!
Trailcutter/breaker fills the same kind of vibe to me as well. He's just a van and I like that
Waits patiently for Thunderclash to pop up in the Age Of Primes line after that particular invocation. :D
I snagged an MP reboost from BBTS last year for 1/2 price quickly became my favorite MP mold
Reboost is such a great figure, makes me wish Legacy Skids got repainted into him, too!
