Dont like em.

Oh dear. I dunno just never bonded to skids. I think Springer went all soft compared to the old skool wreckers. thoses decepticons are cowards and what the [composite word including 'f*ck'] are them silly flying hover chair things they got?
and I dont like skids.
also
you know skids?
I dont like skids.

Survivors my arse, just get back to cybertron and do somthing else you bunch of no hopers, walking about in a big group isnt exactly sly. did u just have a time wars moment and forget tactics again?... bah

Hover-chair things = MARBs, they had them since the beginning.

Ilike Skids. Therefore Survivors are great.

Actually, they were pretty poor

but at least Skids was in it!

Carnivac was a Survivor.

'Nuff said.

What I find weird is that sometimes during Survivors Skids has a faceplate, like the original Diaclone Honda, yet the toy Skids never had this as far as I know...so someone at Marvel UK must have had one of the early Diaclones to work from? Or just artistic license?

Personally I thought the Skids Survivors stories were the weakest, any TF story that boils down to fighting weird monsters from an alternate limbo dimension will never be that great. The Carnivac ones are among the best tho'

I liked the survivors, but the Wreckers with Impactor were better IMO.

Survivors were OK, although Impy and the Debris Massive were miles better.

Main problem I had with them was that Springer's Berk Factor increased a bit too much for my liking, and the only Wrecker to make it in (apart from Inferno who don't really count in my book) was Broadside, who I never liked.

I still think he's a **** come to think of it.

Sandstorm > Broadside

I liked him.

To be fair, he got manhandled by Megatron and Galvatron but lived to tell the tale.

That's got to be worth something?

Oh yeah.

He gets to wear a little gold star. The same type of little gold star that Prime, Magnus, the Dinobots, half the Earthbound Autobots and Soundwave get to wear.

Zombie chewin' on Broadside's head > Broadside

Didn't Broadside have a heroic death? Or was that in Cliffy's fanfic?

And he was in G2. And didn't die.

Maybe he is nails after all.

for the life of me, i can't actually remember off of the top of my head what he does in Timewars... not that many of the Wreckers actually do much apart from line up to be shot...

i'm trying to remember him doing anything good... ever.

or indeed having anything in the way of characterisation.

hmm.

Survivors was a bit of a ropey premise tbh - but i like Carny. And Skids. Springer was a useless **** tho.
