[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

As indifferent as I am towards these two I find it hilarious how much love Hasbro gave these two during the ROTF/HFTD run. Out of all the releases the Human Alliance ones are still my favorite, but this one still has the best novelty alt mode. The first and only Ice cream truck I think Hasbro has ever given us. Transformed them I think once than immediately back to truck mode as they were some of fiddley and underwhelming bot modes I think Hasbro has ever produced. That said Studio Series Voyager please.

[@tylervanpeursem7627]

I think they're better off being forgotten.

[@gwapahanyauy]

I just wished the movies didnt effect the toys😢

[@reyonXIII]

The most basic nature of their template was alright: a pair of junior bots babysat by an "older kid" bot, perhaps the previous kid appeal bot. Everything else they added onto that template is the problem.

[@robbyrhodes4572]

I totally agree with you. These are one of the few characters that I remember from the movies.

[@felixtyler910]

I'm black and I loved Skids and Mudflap I heard a lot people saying it was racist because they couldn't read the language of Primes which would be an ancient language to them I guess it would be like me trying to read Egyptian hieroglyphics but I like G.I. Joe also and we can never get a hooded Cobra Commander again either I mean damn Cybertron can't have a hood

[@snoopy3372]

Don’t you mean studio series?

[@osprey_06]

studio series would mean having them be in the same design, he wants redesigns where they aren't movie characters.

[@TheDaxter11]

Say what you will about the twins, this was a decent idea and interesting spin on the whole combiner thing and even if they don't make a studio series figure of this I hope they revisit the idea for a modern pair of transformers who combine in vehicle mode.

[@galaxyquartzz8661]

While I recognize their faults, I have a lot of nostalgia for those specific toys. They were some of my first transformers. Hell, I loved them so much I bought two, One to keep as a truck and one to have in their robot modes.

[@da_master_of_foxes8512]

Look, I get that they're controversial, but I gotta say, we need figures of them. there are people that don't mind them being controversial. I say that they can and should release them, and the people who don't want them just simply don't need to get them.

[@Saturnlock]

You're missing the point though. They are never going to release Studio Series versions of these two. And for good reason. They were racist caricatures. It doesn't matter that there are some people who didn't mind them being racist or even liked them. They do not deserve to be represented in toy form today.

[@smithbeentrill]

I wonder why there hasn’t been a third party company to tackle these.

[@ZonoYT]

@@smithbeentrill probably because no one other than the 3 skids and mudflap fans actually want them

[@ОптимусПраймВеликий]

​@@SaturnlockSeriously fucking? Because they are racist? As this tolerance has already got me, it already sounds like complete nonsense. Why didn't Hot Rod in the fifth movie get canceled because of his "cartoon" French accent? Why wasn't Prime canceled for his "excessive" cruelty towards the Decepticons? And besides, I didn't see anything in the movie that made them seem racist or something like that. It feels like a schmuck started up in the Hazbro company, who didn’t like something about them and therefore demanded that they be canceled, and the rest of the people in this company, as a collective mind, supported this idea. Well, what the hell?

[@Skelevis]

It’s funny cause the voice acter (black one don’t hate I don’t know his name) says that he was surprised that people found them offensive

[@itstrulymystic]

I recently got these guys and personally I really enjoy flipping back in forth between modes. Would recommend getting toyhax stickers ;) (Also I added wheels to the bottom of Skids’ feet for better accuracy) Good studio series stand ins overall.

[@LimpNoodle420]

[@Time_Fire199]

Dude, I don't give af, Hasbro needs to stop being cowards and make Studio Series Skids and Mudflap. Transformers fans/collectors will buy them, people who pretend to be outraged online prob don't collect Transformers to begin with. Pretending that these two characters don't exist/never existed or whatever is stupid as hell.

Sure I can see why people may find them offensive, but I’m sure there’s more offensive characters in media out there. Side note: I don’t think the line about them not being able to read was MEANT to be racist, Wheelie and presumably Bumblebee couldn’t read the Cyberglyphics either, but who knows, it’s a Michael Bay movie.

[@CobbicusPrime]

I didn't think that was racist either. I equated it with like 95% of the people today being asked to read hieroglyphics.

[@moonwhooper]

Also while I do understand why they want to avoid them I still think they should make ss figures of them, I don’t get SS figures but I do feel that some fans would want them for a full collection. Just pretending that they don’t exist doesn’t change what happened, they have already acknowledged that they were in bad taste so just make toys of them but don’t mention their terrible personalities, maybe don’t even include a bio.

[@nat1attack249]

You know, if they had actually made it too dotm and were able to go through an arc that led to their heroic sacrifices, their characters could have had a little redemption, however, this is the bayfilms we're talking about. They wouldn't know cohesiveness if it slapped them in the face. I just wish we got a more comparable Skids to how he was originally being a "theoretition" instead of a racial sterotype

[@DiggitySlice]

So let me get this straight: you see two clumsy idiots that constantly get themselves in trouble and you think of a certain race? Sounds kinda racist to me.

Edit: The Skids half is seen to be still "driving" a bit after they split. Is this what you mean? Otherwise, I don't believe such a scene exists.

[@notclever]

[@DeadstreaK_]

I don’t care what anyone else says, these guys were 2 of the best designed characters in the bayverse, for comedic purposes of course. I’ve been praying that 3rd party companies would make their own “studio series” or modern rendition figures of these twins simply because I love the fact that they look goofy and that they become the same ice cream truck. They’re objectively a unique set of characters.

I always liked the character designs of these two with the big chests and kinda stumpy legs, and the way they combined into one car when they were the ice cream van. It’s too bad they are marred in controversy because as a visual representation of a Bay Era autobot, they really are like quintessential representations of that overly human-like face and unique colors even in both vehicle scans

That Toy Guy, are you seriously kidding me? I told you to stop being a coward, but at 9:40 of the video, you begged "Mark" to not block you on Instagram for the Skids & Mudflap content/asking if the Twins will get toys on Studio Series instead of calling him out for his behaviour, which will definitely put Hasbro into hot water for allowing their employees to block random people on social media just for asking a question about trivial things. Specially considering that Drift's stereotype is worse than the Twins', but it wasn't received as bad as theirs because people don't consider the Japanese stereotype to be as bad as the African stereotype, which is why Drift's controversy wasn't as bad as the Twins' when it should've been. Theorymus just made a video talking about this issue and, unlike you, he didn't act like a coward and actually called "Mark" out for what he's doing, which is something you should've done here.

[@redreaper558]

I myself do not have anything to say on the topic of controversy because I don't understand what is going on with the characters. What I do remember of the two is that the reason that they liked one being red and the other being green, is because when they first got their ice cream transformation (they must have scanned it at the same time or something) they didn't like how one was in the front and the other on the back, so they always fought for the front end of the vehicle.
