They'd have to make him veeeeeeeery interesting in his bio if he's just SG Skids.

Stepper at least had a zany deco that was all kinds of cool-looking.

And I'd have kinda preferred a SG Skids to use one of the red decos instead:

Screech needs the Crosscut head.

Whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves: everything is labeled RUMOR for a reason. All we have is a black Diaclone-inspired Gen. Skids, nothing else.

But Flatline is based on Trailcutter not Skids

Man, this thing looks NICE!

No visible insignia, though.

Is it accurate to the original Diaclone? I mean, did the Diaclone have a mouth or faceplate?

Diaclone had no sentient robots at all. Just piloted mechs.

The Crosscut head has a vaguely Optimus feel to it...

Machine Wars Optimus wasn't vaguely 'primey'
I'd love to see them do a little scooter. That's what I thought Crosscut was missing

The Thunderclash mould is still a lot more "primey" ( ) than Roadster... I wonder if this repaint will get the Euro G2 name for G2 Optimus, "Sureshot" is a military enough name.

-Black Tracks
-Black Skids
-Black Sideswipe (G2, I guess)
-Black Ironhide
-Some Black Voyager???

I would be all over that.

When you say Tracks, Sideswipe, and Ironhide, I'm assuming you're talking about Classics/Universe. With that assumption made, I wouldn't even both with a black voyager. You can throw a black Reveal the Shield Jazz in there, or a black Hound, and You'd have a good 5 pc set. Hell, throw a black Wheeljack in there, see how well it sells. I'd buy it...
