As with many early Transformers toys, Skids' toy was previously released in a Takara toy line named Diaclone. The toy originally included a scooter which could fit inside his vehicle mode but this was omitted when the toy was released as a Transformer.

Skids was characterized as the perfect absent-minded warrior. Highly intelligent and always collecting data, Skids is nonetheless always daydreaming. He is a scientist first and foremost, and has made many valuable discoveries. Skids genuinely hates the war he finds himself caught up in, but for now is forced to continue in the Autobot army.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:

    But why should not the New Englander try new adventures, and not lay so much stress on his grain, his potato and grass crop, and his orchards,—raise other crops than these? Why concern ourselves so much about our beans for seed, and not be concerned at all about a new generation of men?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
