Skids is a fictional Autobot character from the Transformers franchise. He is typically portrayed as an analytical, talkative, and somewhat eccentric robot who enjoys observing human behavior and sharing his theories, often with a quirky sense of humor. In many continuities, Skids serves as a support or scout-type Autobot rather than a front-line warrior, bringing intelligence and unconventional thinking to the team. He is usually depicted as loyal to Optimus Prime and the Autobot cause, while standing out for his odd but memorable personality.
