[@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]

My only problem with the twins in the movie was that they were incredibly loud in an incredibly loud movie so it got tiresome quickly. But the biggest character issue was Leo not the twins lol.

[@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.

[@alejandrolozano4919]

For me when I first saw them they are like Brothers fighting against them self . Sadly we never seen them grow Maturely . And the other half I have no idea that people where Offended.

[@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

[@twophan]

I like the idea of twins. I like the idea of two robots joining in altmode. But everything was set up against them. Their designs, their voices, their attitudes... nothing was likeable. I hope they get some sort of redemption later down the line.

[@Saturnlock]

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]

@SaturnLock I think they should be given a second chance.

[@Saturnlock]

@@robbyrhodes4572 They are absolutely irredeemable Imo. The only thing that can be done is to just make new incarnations. We got G1 Skids in Legacy. 🤷‍♂

[@thexipherino667]

Like I stated in the last review for Skids ... I love these two !!! Since I saw it in Spanish growing up the stereotypes where gone and they gave us some actually funny characters ... I love them !

[@ismaelhenriquez4986]

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

[@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.

[@Skelevision1]

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

[@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.

[@LimpNoodle420]

I remember seeing the scene where they drive separately in the movie when I was a kid but I always thought it was something I imagined because I never saw it again after that, which is so strange

I have to agree that these two together are cool asf.....it just sucks that it was them....never seen it before, but now I want em.

[@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

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

@@smithbeentrill Because they were annoying, and very few people actually liked 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?

[@zacharymessner6157]

I want a studio series skids and mudflap so bad

[@jonathanward8967]

I remember these guys. Yeah,I understand WHY people didn't like them. I just thought the whole personality choice was out of place in general. With that said, I would LOVE to have these guys simply for the ice cream truck mode

[@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.

[@hyperdimensionbliss]

Hasbro not wanting to make anything for the twins? Sure, whatever. Blocking people for so much as acknowledging their existence? Ridiculous and petty.

[@legobazookatroopercrusade9937]

[@ismaelhenriquez4986]

I remember loving these characters while growing up, and still remember them up to this day. I would love to have Chevy Sparks in my collection. Specially the concept arts for DOTM.

[@SHADOWEMPERORB127]

the twins aren't racist stereotypes they're actually wannabe gangster stereotypes and it still pisses me off that one of the designers blocks people for asking if they'll ever make Studio Series versions of them

[@DJSubwoofers]

Honestly this toy was on my wishlist as a kid and still on my wishlist now im eagerly waiting for a studio series toy despite most of the fandom don't like these guys i liked them they we're pretty funny in the movie and i deeply enjoy the complex transformations their toys had i really need to add them to my collection soon

[@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.

[@zackattack0425]

I’ll just say I like them and think they’re funny. I like me a comedic duo like them when done alright. 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]

I always saw them as kids who are wannabe gangsters

[@DiggitySlice]

None of it was meant to be racist, and none of it was racists. They're just two idiots pretending they're cool. No one complained about Jazz, no one should complain about them.

[@DjPrimeVideos]

Same, bit they also say they don't do a lot of reading.

[@CobbicusPrime]

@@DjPrimeVideos they did indeed say that. However, I've heard some people say they were made out to be illiterate. Some indicated that they do have the ability to read. I think the whole thing got blew way out of proportion.

[@yeeessimusprime3422]

Personally I love this toy, still have it to this day. 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.

I definitely haven't seen or heard anything of them driving in half, though their alt mode prop is seen splitting in half in the final film, though it doesn't look like it does so in such a way that there could be a shot of them still driving afterwards. 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.

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 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

[@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.
