Syd is another punk rocker.
In the G1 (armless) phase, there were four punks: Lenny, Eddie, Reginald, and Syd.
Lenny and Syd are the two with mohawks. Lenny has the spiked mohawk and Syd has the backcombed mohawk (called a "deathhawk"). Syd also sometimes has a shirt with the union jack on it. The union jack is the national flag of the United Kingdom. Not all variants of Syd have the flag on his shirt.
Syd was an early entry into the G3 phase. The first bendy arm figures came out in the Blastboards series of 2004.
His name (and the union jack shirt) seems to reference Sid Vicious, the bassist of the UK punk band The Sex Pistols. However, neither Sid Vicious nor anyone else in The Sex Pistols ever rocked a mohawk.
In fact, it is the dude called Reginald who actually looks more like Sid Vicious. Plus, his red-haired variant even reminds me of Johnny Rotten.
