I can’t wait for skids and mudflap to get executed by transit in Transformers: Unicron goes to Starbucks 2099

DOTM Mudflap was my childhood holy grail. I was falling behind in school and my reading teach told me hed buy a transformer if I improved my grades, It might not not be a good toy but it meant more to me then anything else at the time.

I can easily say that as someone who had mudflap, That toy was extremely fiddly

I got these figures for two reasons



1: because I lost the original ROTF versions

2: my mom actually likes the Twins and begged me to add them to my collection

The human alliance of the rotf designs are the closest we’ll get to mpm figures of these guys, and mudflap is apparently super rare/expensive too

I honestly think that the skids and mudflap toys are pretty good for what they are trying to replicate

Actually, if you look at reviews and pictures from the time. The "Yellowing" on Mudflap isn't actually yellowing, it's just the color of the plastic they chose for some reason

Despite all the controversy surounding them i still have hopes we'll get them in SS eventually. As a kid i genuinelly loved them- mainly due to the fact they actually had screentime as opposed to most other bayformers, but i did love them nonetheless. Especially Mudflap in ROTF, i really love his altmode, and his bot mode design is much better than Skids' in my opinion. And i do love their icecream truck appearance

Shame that Skids and Mudflap were removed from Dark of the Moon. These new color schemes look awesome as hell.

6:39 To quote PerspectiveEnd for this part (and modify said quote):
"There's no way they were like, 'Yeah, live with the kibble on the backs of the legs, and then have the knee joints go-' THE WRONG DIRECTION!"
"...because of his insubstantial knees, and their limited posing that only works THE WRONG WAY!"
"And knees that ONLY BEND THE WRONG WAY!"

The funny thing was, when the human alliance toys were released, their versions were very highly sought after.

I remember I was at the store ready to buy a transformer, and I saw Skid’s head in the window and somehow that was an ultimate deciding factor to get Mechtech Ratchet. It was probably a good thing I picked Ratchet though

Bro the twins in the thumbnail look like they boutta say “instead of transforming you should go transform some bitches”

I remember owning both of these at one point, and they aren't great I remember my skids right arm would always fall off the ball joint and as for mudflap the I hated the transformation,  but I will always treasure the dark of the moon toyline as my favorite toy line even if they had some flops in the line

I just want a new ice cream truck. Mine is missing so many pieces

Again a reminder in the tie-in comic for dark of the moon sentani prime kills the twins and ironhide with the rust gun after he betrays the autobots after making a deal with megatron.

I got Mudflap on my 12th birthday and Skids I got after I saw Real Steal in Theaters.

I had Mudflag, and he cut my foot open 👍

Funny enough, 2 days ago my dad walks in and we randomly brought up these 2 in a conversation. He then asked why tf these lads weren't in the 3rd movie. I regret telling him as I think it ruined his day...

Anyways yea that ain't yellowing plastic, it's just the way it is.
