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:
“Through centuries he lived in poverty.
God only was his only elegance.
Then generation by generation he grew
Stronger and freer, a little better off.
He lived each life because, if it was bad,
He said a good life would be possible.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
